As soou as The Emperor of the French
hesrd iha, Sshasppeli bad fallen into the
hands Of the, allies .he began 8 to exhib,this
ipsolehce, and bis jsal ousy Of lAnercan,r
Publicanifm BY ordering thai Mr Soule
should not oe allowed TO pass through France
Bdt when he learned that Russia was not so
easily mastered, his tone changed, andiyhe
covered, moi only 10 retrac, his haughiy in-

cans can easily see from This incident what

toeancs toward the Uned States from Eng

= The pIetext for Napoleon's insult 10. Mr.
Soble is a mos, awkward blunder, md will
only excite reflection on the late conduct OF
French officials The Emperor, says, Ms
Soule in,erfered in Earopear poli,cs. We'll,
as Mr., Soule is in a political portion, be
would be censuraoly dereict in duty if he
dic NOT look after The interest OF his naiion,
and We can easily see thai the only cause of
complaint which the French and English
can have against him, Is because te has
outgeneraled lheiI "ol fogies" on the Eu.
ropean ches. board. The mission TO Spain
was d very delicate one, and il was a pleas.
Tire TO see that our government sent no dip
iomaiist of the Melternich and Machia
,yelli school, bni man of straight forward
American frankness, after the model Of
franklin. When Mr., Soule's. appoimment
was announced The French court and Lord
Aberdeen determined 10 brow-beai him and
drive him al once from the county. The
Queen of Spain lacked the character, pow
er and ability TO accomplish anything, but
The Spanish graneees intrigued al the French
court through the Empress, until the Mar
qnis. de Turgo, undertook TO be the champi.
on Of the Spanish cause, and the Empress
induced her relative, the fiery Duke de Al
ba. 10 provoke the quarrel. But The .pleian
republican was lalt match for ;he proud old
Castlian blood. and lost nothing in the
Trey. That MIR. Scule, used his influence
to encourage events TO favor ihe eale of Gu
bs to The United States is both iIue and nat
aral ;abal there s'no evidence that he nsed
means nconsisienpwiih the fair friendly re-
laiions between this country and Spain. Nor
can English or French diplomacy say
augh, against such interference for their
pxn precedens are it's hes, warrant. They
inieffered with all their ability 10 prevent
the annexation Of Texas. England charged
Capt Elliot, and France, the Count Saiieny
-.sA,hs, hnsinessi and gave us great deal
OF tfopble.p Those goYernmsnls are al his
amomen, interfering 10 prevent tho annexa-
tion Of The Sandwich Islands to the United
States; and their war in the East is nothing
bni The selfish contest of despoIism for ag.
gTandizemenis ssprompied by fear and jeal-
sausyof the. growing hower of Russia. Eu-
ropean diplomacy viii doubtless learn in
time that The game of interference is one al
whishi,wo can play. ,. 3lt oa go 81
