Elsewhere will be found letter from Horatio ].
Perry, Esq, our Charge d'Afaires In Spain, in reply
to the statements contained in the letter of one Of
our Washington correspondents, dated March IT,
and published March 10. Mr.. Perry complains that
these statements wholly inexact and at the same
time Injurious to him. He states that he never ad
dressed or received any communications from Mr.
Cushing or Senior Calderon de la Barca on the sub
ject referred to in correspondents letter. He
never played the spy to anybody or for anybody,
and never failed in his duty to Mr.. Soue as a mem
Der of bis legation nor even addressed Mr.. Marcy
or any member of the government, either directly
or indirectly, during the time M Soule was at its
head and was responsible for its transactions.
When he (Mr. Perry became directly responsible
the govern ment he Of course acted in his judg
ment seemed right without reference to Mr.. Soue's
views. He stigmatzes as utterly false the assertion
that while writing one thing to the Secretary of
State he wrote another and different thing to Mr..
Soule aspersing the administration and desi snating
its .urse as treacherous and vardy. Such state
ments he says should not be made without proof;
and the proof he calls for.
