President Pierce Atters himself that by n,eans OF
his two papers in this city he will be able to kes from
the public the real truth as to the cause OF Mr. Peys
return from Madrid, he win Rnd himself in the end
much mistaken.
The story that Perys letter the President as pub
shsd in the Inteigenc1 had provsksd General Pierce
to his recall is piece OF miseratie fAbricstsoa put
forth to conceal the truth To thoeo acquaincf with
the President and in his confidence 10 is known that
tho appearance OF Perry's letter gave him great
pleasure and just the thing that he had been wis
ing to obtain since the return OF Mr.. Soule frcm his
mission. 1t was known to the government, and more
particularly to Gcv Marcy, from his private eorrespon-
dence WITH Mr. Perry which he received and encouraged
that serious difficulties existed between Mr. soule and
his Secretary, and that the latter was anxious
to make public certain charges against his chief
which could not be permitted long as he re-
rnained IN the government employ. And farther
the President was fully awars that Mr.. Perry had
written the letter, which subsequently, appeared
frat in this city, having himself been furnished with
copy OF the same through the means Of friend vho
had made tie acquaintance Of Perry at Madrid by pre-
seutiDg him With letter of introduction from General
Pierce himsen. 1t has bess publicly stated that the
bearer of this letter urged beth the writing and publish
ing OF the letter. and that he advised Mr. Perry col
ect all the facts he could get together for use herea
ter The report that Mr. Perry recalled in disgrace
repeat ID net true, will be made known shortly af
ter his arrival in She United sates By the receipt OF
some favor from the President which he has reason to
expect. Nor he succeeded in his post until Mr.
Seules card made lbs appearance threatening exposure
when 1t that MIR. Perry's presence was necss
sery to give it such only his posses
sion, with occasional ai might be necessary from
the President and Secretary Marcy.
l. is wish of the to take any open part
in the threatened controversy and without the aid OF
Perry 1t would be forced 10 quiet submission 20 the
heavy blows which likely to fall from the pen OF Mr.
soulc repeat that the Presideat and Sc .setary of
state are on friendly terms with Mr. Perry having ap
proved all that he has done ocay and that the return
OF that gentleman will not in pecunary point Of view
be TO his injury The President fatters msslf in
heving that the threatened publication Of Mr. Sonic will
be confined to only such parts of his mission found
necessary to make good his charges against Mr. Perry;
but in this he will be mistaken friend of ths ex nj
mister, the city, informs me that the publication
will contain every thing connected with his late mission

was carried on between himself and the President
