MR.. SOuLES EXPULSION From
49,. FRANCE.
HIGHLY INTERPRETING DEMONSTRATION OF
TIE UNITED STATES MINISTER'S

JIoNDOS, ptt. - lC0t.-- lc steamer OF
tomorrow will carry the startling ntclli-
gcnce that HIS Ercciiency The lhai>tsr Of the
Uaitrd States of Amcricn al he CDurt Of lLm-
rid has been etpdi2d from FfGncs, through
which country he was returning to his POST.
Mr.. Soule, having spent Two days in Lon
don, set out last Tuesday for Madrid cia
France. On his arrival at Calais, lie was
asked to show his passports, and, having
done so, was requested to step into an inner
room of the Bura'. de PoIice. Here he was
told that he must leave the country by the
next steamer, and that he would not DC al
lowed in the meantime to 70 anywhere ont
of Calais, being in fact placed under SmacH-
iante.
There must be mistake, sir" said our
Minister; edo YOU know who | am!'
There is not the slightest mistake, SIR
was the reply: you are Mr.. Soule, the Am
bassador of the United States Of America at
the Court of Spain, and have orders not to
let you pass"
"Whcre are your orders, sir g. asked Mr..
Soulc.
This is no business of yours. sir: these or
ders are for me, and am acting upon thcm,"
said the Commissarv.
This happened at Calais. Something more
was said, but of no public concern. Mr..
Soule left by the next steamer. and reached
London late in the evening day before vcstcy-
day. The news being made known in Amer
lean circles. the creates excitement prevail
cd, and as may be imagined measures Of all
sorts were suggested amid great Indignation.
The Legation partook, of course, of the
general excitement. | lave not had the hon
or Of seeing Mr.. Buchanan since his return.
but from all | hear, he maintained through
out this irritating affair dignilicd rcSuu-
ton to concur in every step to require due
apologies for an insult against our national
honor. The whole morning of yesterday
was spent in consultation, the result of which
was the decision to send over Mr. Sicklcs, in
order that he might obtain IL real knowledge
of what that proceeding really meant. 1t
was thought that the act might have been
mere personal affair, capable of such con
struction as not to assume the m,narllg as
pect of an insult from one power to another.
The mission of Mr.. Slcklcs was accordingly,
to be one of inquiry.
These were the arrangements yesterday
morning.-But, sir, Mr.. Sicklcs did not 90
after all. He was prevented from doing so
by messenger who came over yesterday at
noon. Your correspondent from Paris will
knows, but give you, at all events, my ac-
count.
