The reply OF III. Perry. our CAargl
SAtaires at Madrid. to the charges brought
against him by the Hon. Pierre Soule, in
the communication which he published ia
Washington papers on the gath Of March
last, appesrs In the form of letter address
sed to the President. II is lengthy docu-
ment, and covers the whole ground OF the
allegations made against the writer's con-
duct. not only during the time when he
was Mr. Soule's subordinate in the Spanish
legation, but subsequently. since he had
been Entrusted with the whole responsibility
Of is dlti.s: Mr.. Perry retorts the charge
OF his being"a spy and traitor" by showing
that Mr. Soule had himself all along acted
double part. by transmitting erroneous in
formation TO government respecting the real
feelings and views Of the Spanish Cabinet
and people in reference to the sale Of Cuba,
and also BY so mismanaging the affair of
the Black Warrior as to impede the success
Of the reclamations OF the American Go
vernment. Whilst acting this part on the
one hand Mr.. Perry states that Mr.. Soule
persisted in declaring in his dispatches to
Washington, that no arrangement Of that
question, or Of any other subject of our
complaints with Spain, was practicable,
even for months after he (Mr. Perry had in |
formed him that the Spanish Government
was desirous to arrange that question and
al! others. He also charges Mr.. Soulc with
suppressng an important dispatch from the |
Secretary Of State, intended for the Span
ish Government, in reference to this same
affair Of the Black Warrior. during the
space OF five months. Mr. Perry adds, that
Immediately after Mr.. Soule's departure
from Madrid, he succeeded in reinedying
the mischiyous effects of this proceeding,
and in obtaining from the Spanish Govern
ment satisfactory proposition for the
settlement OF the case, and ultimately its
complete adjustment, after Mr. Soule's final
departure in February last. As still further
proofs of the evil influence which Mr.. Sou
les personal hosili,ies and fllibustering
tendencies exercised over the negotiations
between the countries, Mr.. Perry states
that when relieved from them he procured
from the Spanish Government proposition
tor the settlement and immediate payment
of oil claims involving private interests,
which had been presented TO either one go
vernment or the other since 1894. He obtain
ed an overture for the negotiation of great
treaty 'concedng immense benefits TO our
commerce, and securing the prompt and
projection of the political, reli-
gious, and social rights OF our citizens, IN I
future. in every portion Of the Spani sh do
in consideration ofsimilar benefits
conceded to Spanish subjects and their
commerce by the United States"
Mr., Perry makes various other charges
against Mr. Soule, Of attempting to tamper
with and diver. him from the honest dis
charge Of his duties. and also Of intercept
ing in Paris a dispatch addressed by him
{ Mr. Perry to the Secretary Of Senate al
Washington.
