The Order Denying Mr. Souie a Passage
Through France Revoked.
From the Manchester Examiner, Nov. Al

| From the Manchester Examiner, Nov Al
! We have already reported the refusal of the
French Government to allow Mr.. Soue, the Minis
ter from the United States to the Court Of Madrid
to return to the Spanish capital through France,
owing, as was stated, to the alleged completely of
that gentleman with the scheme Of the French Re
/ pubcans. This refusal had created great sensa-
ton, and was likely to have led to serious diff
Guilty with the American Government. By tele-
graphic announcement, which came to hand at
late hour last night, we glad to be able to
lnounee that the French Government had receded
from the position it had taken with regard to Mr..
SOule, and has withdrawn its prohibition against
that gentleman passing through France. Mr.. Soule
will leave London on Monday for the seat of his
diplomatic duties, and will pass through France on
his route to Madrid.
From the Courier and Enquirer Of yeslertay.I
Louis Napoleon retracts, and MIR Soule is free
on the soil of France. We have received official
intelligence by teegraphic dispatch to Liverpool
dated London, Nov. 3, IL O'Clock p. NJ, announc-
ing that :" the Emperor Napoleon has rescinded his
order prohibiting Mr.. Soule's passage through
France, and the American Minister will leave
London tomorrow (Nov. f. for Paris, on his
way to Madrid" The arguments and the infu-
enees which operated produce this change in the
policy of the French Monarch had not transpired
at the time when our information dispatched
and, indeed we have reason to believe that the de-
termination which so suddenly puts an END 10 all
speculation and apprehension on this subject, was
made very suddenly, and was quite unexpected in
diplomatic circles in London, although it was sup
posed that the answer of Hugs would prevent all
difficulty between the two countries.
When Mr. Mason demanded an immediate ex-
PLANTATION Of the course which was pursued toward
Mr. SOule, it was expected by those not well in
formed that he would either receive an answer de-
liberately framed to mean nothing, or one which
would be nsive in its tone. The leading article
in the London Times sustaining the action Of the
French Government, was announced IN London and
by our New York contemporaries expressive of
the opinion and the attitude of the British Cabinet;
but we, in publishing it, expressed our belief that it
had no such character or consequence. That view
is sustained by the information which has reached
us by the Asia for we learn that the English gov
ernment nterposed as a conciliatOr to prevent any
unkInd feelings between the T. States and France.
The reply anticipated was, that the act Of the
French government entirely personal to Mr..
Soule, and was based upon his conduct in France,
being in no manner directed to his official eharac-
ter and not intended as mark Of disrespect TO
Government. . In case of such answer, Mr.. Ma
son, who would otherwise have retired to London,
there to await instructions from Washington, would
have remained quietly at his post, and Mr.. SOule
would have been obliged to proceed from London to
Cddiz and thence to Madrid, and the San Jacinto
steamer, lying Portsmouth, was TO have be n en-
ployed for this purpose.
