leave you to expect from Paris correspondent
something more than what he finds in the newspa-
pers. For once, ct least, you viii not DO disap-
pointed. The Paris journals copy this morning,
from the Daily Ne,cs and the Post of London, the
announcement that His Excellency P. soule, United
States Minister to Spain, had left Dover by the
South Eastern Companys packet, on his way to
Paris But they do not add the fact that on his ar
rival at Calais night before last Mr.. Soule was re-
fused admission into France, was obliged to remain
on board the boat, and to return, by midnight, in
the toughest weather, to Dover Such is neverthe-
less the fact. With this bare statement of the fact
must deliver 1t over to the comments which it can
not fail to provoke on the other side Of the At
lhntic.
The for this act Of courtesy, not to say for
this insult to an accredited Minister of the United
States-a Power with which the French government
Is, at present, on terms Of peace-is, of course,
not yet publicly known. It Is true that the
Hon. Mr. Soule is accredited as minister, not
to the Court Of Napoleon, but to the Court
Of Isabella. But in his recent visit to Paris,
as well as when he first arrived here on his way to
Madrid, his passport as American citizen, not to
mention his passport Is American minister, sufficed
TO protect him against Ill possible Inconvenience,
for which his escape, years and years ago. from the
consequences Of his trial for alleged libel az editor
Of q French journal, might have afforded. however
remotely, any pretext. In diplomatic circles ii ID
whispered that during Mr.. Soules recent visit, pre-
viously to his departure for the conference at o.
tend, his apartment at the Hotel du Rhin was fre-
quented by as motley set Of visiters as ocked to
the apartment Of certain other guest in the same
hotel in lS4s, when Prince Louis Napoleon arrived
there from London. it ia not openly alleged that
the American Minister encouraged the visits of
government, receiving even at unusual hours not q
few individuals whose long boards, slouched hats,
and tightly butt0ned frock coats are always eyed
suspiciously by the police, and who are innocently
away to Cayenne, or consigned to Brussels, to
Switzerland or the Isle Of Jersey-f It Is not said
that Mr.: Soule, while here, spoke and acted with
what 30 many. are. pleased to style his

still more mysteriously whispered that q
full blown conspiracy for the! assassination Of
the Emperor was discovered, and happily frustrated,
