But before Mr. Sickles could set out a! messenger arrived from Mr
Minister to France, to Mr. Buchanan. Tho purport of the dispatches by this messenger is given by the London correspondent of the New York Times as follows:
Secondly, Tho letter of Mr. Sanders to the French People. Aud Thirdly. Cuba!
The r.ench'Foreign Secretary snid that th& fmpeital Government cannot be expectto treat in tho-usual friendly way the citizens of a State that has behaved in such A hostile manner towards it. .,
Iam told that Mr. Mason replied in tho way that will have occurred to every one on being told those reasons. He said that the affair of Mr. Dillon was, in the worst possible construction, but the mere blunder of a court cf justice, and that it cannot, accordingly, be made parallel with a case in which the United States arc insulted by order of the highest authority of another State, The letter of Mr. Sanders was the act of an individual, who had, moreover, been recalled from an official position before he published anything. Americans have the right to say what they like, and the Government has no control over their pens and' presses. This is a personal matter, whica could, perhaps, have excused a discourtesy towards the Citizen Sanders, if he should have presented himself on the frontiers of France, but it certainly did not authorize a step like that against the United States Minister.
As to Cuba, Mr. Mason absolutely denied—if I am well informed—the right of any power to meddle with difficulties that may have arisen between Spain and the United States. He, at all events, could not •ee how questions of foreign policy ean b# tfeated by affronts offered to a friendly

Sickles, Secretary of Legation, to Paris to -obtain a real knowledge of what that proneeding really meant. It was thought that ^the act might have been a mere personal affair, capable of a construction as not to \assurae the menacing aspect of an insult r/rom one Power to auother. The mission -of Mr. Sickels was, accordingly, to be one of inqury. He was not to push matters to an extreme if the insulting party should offer explanatious that might be accepted, at least for the moment, as an apology to the ^United States.

sire greatly to propitiate at this juncture, as a kind of offset to the Martin Kosta affair. The following is what this writer has to say upon the subject:
The Soule affair is dangerous if not threatening. Upon learning the facts, Mr. Mason sent Mr. Piatt, Secretary of Legation, to London, to see Mr. Soule and gather the probable causes of his exclusion. Upon his return on Saturday, Mr. Mason sent a letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, demanding immediate explanations. At
this moment of writing, (4 o'clock P. M.)
no answer has been received. I may add! Pjl
that the reply will not be satisfactory and if
it is not, Mr. Mason will take his passports and at once quit the country. This is the present state of the case. Some weeks ago the Minister of Foreign Affairs, intimated to be

To defray the expenses of this mission a credit of 880,000 was opened with a banking house in London—a sum too large for mere inquiry, and not large enough for the more important movement which was probably in contemplation.
It was soon found impossible to effect any arrangement with the new Spanish Government. Espartcro gave a very distinct refusal to the overtures for the purchase of Cuba. The diplomatic independence of the Captain General had no better chances. It was well understood in Madrid that such an independence would, under present circumstances, only offer opportunities for comfortable quarrels to a Cabinet that lives upon pretexts. "As long as I am at the head of the Queen's Government," Espartero is said to have replied to Mr. Soule, shortly before he left Mad).id, "there shall
