LITERATURE AND Observation-Disclosures
SoULE's FORTHCOMING BooK.-We understand
that Chevalier Soule, who has now become an
historical and literary character, is hard at work
npon the history and the mysteries of his late
mission to Spain, and its consequences" We
have every reason to believe, from the facts
which have been disclosed on this subject and
from the talents and pluck of this preux-cheva-
lier, that this book of his will be the most in
tensely exciting, interesting and romantic
that has ever been written upon American
diplomacy, at home or abroad. We do not
even except the forthcoming work Of Che
Waller Wikoff on his amateur diplomacy in
England and France, under the auspices of
Lord Palmerston and Louis Napoleon. Wikoff
will doubtless make curious volume of his
very peculiar diplomacy, including the various
matrimonial alliances of his general scheme for
perpetual peace between the great Powers of
Europe and the United States; but the book
Of Soule will be more profound, more piquant,
and more to our present purpose, because it
will be full exposure of the Cuban imbroglio,
and OF the causes and agencies which have
brought it to the present dreadful entangle-
ment.
We may expect from the Chevalier Soule,
for example, full exposition of the imbecili-
ties and vacillations of Mr.. Pierce, and of the
treachery and ignorance Of Marcy on this Gu
ba question; and Of the labor and trouble re-
quired to bring Buchanan and Mason up
to the Ostend platform. We may also
expect complete inside history Of
French and British diplomacy in connec ton
with these Madrid duels, including the particu-
lars Of projected meeting between the Cheva-
lier Soult and Lord Howden, which did not
come of. General Concha, now dictator in
Cuba, was to have been the second of Howden
in the event Of a meetings but why it did not
transpire we shall leave our Chevalier himself
to explain. We shall also expect, in this new
book, full account of the Chevalier's official
conversations on Cuba with the Queen Isabella
ard the Queen Mother Christina, both willing
to sell the island for good sum in hard cash
but unable to do anything, from the want of a
ministry to back them. The public will also
discover from Mr.. Soule's narrative the real
meaning Of his stoppage at Calais by Louis Ma
poleon. We understand that the Emperor of
France was induced to suspect, on that occa-
sion, that Soule was about to enter into nego-
tiations with Russia to put Spain upon a foot
ing Of dignity and strength, independent Of
England and France, the like of which she has
not held since the time of Charles the Fifth.
Upon the whole, We have no doubt that this
diplomatic brochure will be most conclusive
and scathing exposure Of the blunders, follies,
tergiversetions and treachery of the administra-
ton, and of the selfconceited ignorance and
double-dealings Of Marcy, from first to last
With such book as this from Chevalier Soule,
and with another from Wikoff on American diplo-
macy, we shall only require small volume
from Cheyalier Webb to complete the tri umvi-
rate,
