Ma. Mason, United States Minister.
Our special correspondent at Paris informs
Ms that ths statement Of n. dc rHuys, asgiven
above, is incorrect in respect TO the fucts o!
the case. Our correspondent writes as fol
lows.
ssThe facts, as I gather them from Mr Soule
himself, are these: In tho reply OF The French
Government to Mr.. Masons demand for expla
nations, the Foreign Minister says that II was
never the intention Of the Government 10 IN
terdict the passage of Mr. Soule through France,
because that Is right always granted bl

in the despatch, nor did the word residence oc
cur ia it, It was implied, but not expressed
"Mt Soule left London for Paris on Wednes
day last. He was accompanied by Lieut.
Hamilton of the u. S steam frigate San Jacin
10. When they arrived at Calais in the after
noou--the place where Mr.. Soule had befor'
been turned back--he asked for and obtained
nn interview with the police officer who ha'
acted as principal on the occasion OF ms LOT
mer visit and refusal OF entrance. Lieut.. iiam
;itoo was present, and tes,iiies to the exaetnes
of the following questions and answers, whic
passed between MI. Soule and the officer

The matter appears from the testimony ne
given to be this. That anticipating NJ
