Ii Is still true that the errsnd OF Mr. Sckles 10
the United States had nothing to DO with the dis.
patches which he carried The dispatches which
be carried out and those which he brought back
were of the most insignificant character; and,
Ike ordinary bearers Of dispatches, he was even
iguorsnt Of their contents. 1t was for personal
and private reasons, as has already been stated in
TIE TRIBUNE. that he went 10 the United States
and had more to do with Buncombe and private
pecuuiary affairs than with the Legation at Mad
rid. Ii is believed that he went home with the
intention Of staying; and whether from ar
fragments made there, or from the want which
was felt for his assistance in the London presideu-
tial trio, and the srraB gements which were &C
cordinly made for bis return, it is at least GER
tain that Mr.. Sickles is again ahoat ia European
diplomatic circles.

We did not know that Gen. Pierce was a married

actually slept in the same bed with the Presi-

happened to be in Paris, and without pupil.
So Mr.. Sickles put himself under the charge Of
the tall, coored gentleman from Virginia, who.
although well acquainted by long residence with
tie language of the northern courts OF Europe,
possesses only smattering Of Spanish kind Of
lingo or Franco Spanish. IL will be seen there
fore, that the Government Of Gen. Pierce, hostile
as it is to the negro race, has been reduced TO
the necessity of resOrtng to black diplomacy for
its important secret missions. Without doubt it
will be highly tinctured with Georges peculiar
notions, since he is known to be an obstinate in
diyidual and possesses certain diplomatic ideas
of his own. The Government will therefore soon
receive, no doubt, some highly curious and high
ly colored intelligence from Madrid.
The statement of The London Times and other
journals, that Mr.. Soue had been frightened away
from Madrid, and that he would not again return,
ID scarcely worth the contradiction. Every ono
who knows Mr.. SOule must knew that he lie not
the man to be frightened from his post by any
thing. That he sympathized with the republican
party, ard gave aims to suffering families whose
protectors had died at the barbados, is true;
but that he leagued himself publicly with any
party, distributed money at the barbados, ss
charged, or committed any other overt act, 10
false In sympathizing with the republicans he
did not commit as great an ofense against the
Government as did Lord Howden, the British
minister, in cOncealing 0DOnnell when there
was price offered for his head. In letter re-
ceiyed yesterday from Mr. SOult BY his relatives
in this city, be says that there being no proba-
bilty Of carrying on negotiations with the Span
ish Government in the present state Of affairs, he
has left for little recreation, intending to return
AZ the end Of three or four weeks 10 Madrid. He
is staying with his family at Csstiglionre in Ari-
eye department in the south Of France, where
Madame Soule owns some property. Mr.. Soule
and bis son spend their time hunting in the noun
tains.
