London, Oct 27.?The steamer of to-mor row will carry the startling intelligence that his Excellency the Minister of the United States of America to the Court of Madrid has been expelled from France, through which country he was returning to his post The simple narrative of such an event is, I think, the oest manner of letting you know tho ex tent of the indignation felt here by every Amer ican, without distinction of party, and to be felt, no doubt, by all tho citizens of our inten tionally insulted republic. So I give you the following details: Mr. Soul6, having spent two days in Lon don, set out last Tuesday for Madrid via France. On his arrival at Calais he was asked to show bis passports, and having done so, was request ad to step into an inner room of tho Bureau do 1 olice. Here ho was told that ho must leave tho country by the noxt Btcamer, and that he would not bo allowed in tho meanwhilo to go anywhere out of Calais, being in fact placed under surveillance. " There must bo a mbtake, sir," said our Minister. "Do you know who I am ?" " There is not the slightest mistake, sir," was tho reply. " You are Mr. Soul6, the Ambassa dor of the United States of America at the Court of Spain, and I have orders not to let you pass." " Whore are your orders, sir ?" askod Mr. Souls. ? " This is no business of yours, sir. These orders are for me, and I am acting upon them," said tlie commissary. This happened at Calais. Something more was said, but of no public concern. Mr. Soul6 left by the next steamer, and reachod London late in the evening day before yesterday. The news being made known in American circles, the greatest excitement prevailed, and, as may be imagined, measures of all sorts were sug gested, amidst great indignation. The Legation partook, of course, of the gene ral excitement I have not had the honor of seeing Mr. Blichan&n since his return, but from all I hear, he maintained throughout this irri tating affair, a dignified resolution to concur in every step to require due apologies for an in sult rgainst our national honor. Tho whole morning of yesterday was spent in consulta tion, the result of which was the decision to send over Mr. Sickles, in order that he might obtain a real knowledge of what the pro ceeding roally ment It was thought that the act might have beon a mero personal affair, capable of such a construction as not to assume the menacing aspoct of air?insult from one i 'ower to another. Tho mission of Mr. Sickles was, accordingly, to bo ono of inquiry. Ho was not to push matters to an cxtreino if the insulting party should offer explanations that might be accepted, at least for the moment, as an apology to the United States. It was in this spirit of moderation, that Mr. Sickles was to go yesterday evening to Paris, in order to commu nicate the views and the advice of the Lega tion in London to that in Paris. I must not omit to say that this moderation was deemed to bo out of season by many. The outrage was palpable, direct, not to be , explained away, ana consequently not admit ting any other step, if immediate satisfaction should not be offered, than that of the with drawal of Mr. Mason and tho whole Legation from France. That act is the answer of Eu ropean despotism to the congress of American Democratic diplomats. If it wore a personal affair, Mr. Soul6 would not have been allowed to enter France on his leaving Spain, but ho was suffered to do so. Ho went all over the yuntry?nay more, he and his diplomatic bon freres held one of their consultations on Frrnch territory, at Boulogne, so it was not the man, Mr. Soule, but the Minister Soule, to whom the affront has been offered. Among tho many persons who hold this opinion is Mr. Rcverdy Johnson, of Baltimore, who wrote in thai spirit a very long letter to Mr. Mason. These wore the arrangements yesterday morn ing. But, sir, Mr. Sicklen did not go after all. He was prevented from doing so by a messen ger who came yesterday at noon. Your cor respondent from Paris will probably send you his report about what ho knows, but I give you, at all events, my account Mr. Mason? tho news of the Calais outrage having reached him?went to the Foreign Of fice and wished to soe M. Drouyn de rHuys immediately. lie teas left waiting two full hours. Admitted at last, he remarked, first of all, upon his tardy reception. Some apologia* were made, but 1n a tone and manner that con vinced Mr. Mason that ho had boon left waiting purposely. He dropped the matter, however, and pfcssod to tho object of his official call, and asked tho reason why Mr. Soule had not l>cen permitted to pass through France en route to Spain. " Well," said M. Drouyn de 1'IIuys, in a very impertinent tone, " there are reasons for tliat, Being pressed for theso reasons, Mr. Mason was told that there were three of them : First, The treatment of M. Dillon, French consul in California. Secondly. The letter of Mr. Sandero to the French people. And, Thirdly. Cuba! The French Foreign Secretary said that the imperial government cannot be expectcd to trsat in the usual friendly way the citizens of a State that has behavod in such a hostile man ner towards it I am told that Mr. Mason repliod in the way fliat will havo occurred to every one else on being told those reasons. He said that the afTair of Mr. Dillon was, in tho worst possibl? construction, but the mere blunder of a court of justice, and th*t it cannot, accordingly, be made parallel with a case in which the United States are insulted by order of the highest au thority of another State. The letter of Mr. Sanders was tho act of an individual, who had, moreover, been recalled from an official posi tion 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, which could, per haps, have excusod a ditcourtesy towards the Citizen Sanders, if he should have presented himself on tho frontiers of France, but It cer tainly did not authorize a step like that against the United States Minister. As to Cuba, Mr. Mason absolutely denied?if I am well in formed?the right of any Power to meddle with difficulties that may have arisen between Spain ?nd the United States. Ho, at all events, could Opt see how questions of foreign policy can be treated by affronts offered to a friendly Power. Tho two Ministers parted very much excited, ?nd Mr. Mason was fully prepared to ask for his passports. Ho sent, however, the special mes senger to Mr. Buchanan, before deciding upon that step. Than the Loudon Ttuw. Oet W. Tk* ttovpage qf Mr. &uli w? FrtrnM?Stmi ofilcial opitutn qf the Enflish and Flrtnch governments. The French government have taken an un usual, though not an unwarrantable step, when all the facta of the caw are known, in declining to allow Mr. Soul*, the Minister of the United Stales accredited to Madrid, to enter the terri tories of the French empire. We understand that this gentleman expressed himself in very strong language upon his return to London, after an ineffectual attempt to continue liis journey through France, from Calais vr Bou logne, and that the personal affront to which Mr. Soule conceives himself to have been sub jected has been taken up as an affair of national and political importance by Mr. Mason, the American Charge d'Atlkires in Pari*, and of Mr. Buchanan, the American Minister m ttua country. It is to be regretted that men who are intrusted with the important and responsi ble duty of representing such a country as the United States in Europe, should display so much sensitiveness on bo jpaltry an of**?10" Whatever affronts may befal Mr. Soul6 have been richly earned by himself since he sot foot in Europe, and, while he hil forfeited hin claim to the courtesy usually shown to strangers, no can claim no especial consideration for his di plomatic character, which is, of course, con fined to the country to which he is accredited. The circumstances of this case are, however, peculiar, and there is reason to apprehend that they will give rise to some discussion. In the first place? Mr. Soul6 is by birth a Frenchman, and, although ho has done all that lay 111 his power to repudiate his national character an to assume that of a citizen of the United States, it can hardly be contended that the t . government is bound to take no account of his origin, or to regard him precisely as it would a citizen of Boston or New Orleans. In adopt ing a new country, it would, at least, have been to good taste if Mr. Soule had not forgotten that he owed something to the land of his birth. The United States not only adopted him, but raised him to the honorable position of one ol their ministers abroad, and President Pierce selected him as his representative in Spain, ap parently bo cause he had Identified himself with the party which did not disguise its intention upon Cuba. With the political effects of such a nomination we are not here concerned; but no sooner had Mr. Soul6 arrived at Madrid, where he was received in official society, than his son contrived to pick up a ridiculous quar rel with the Duke of Alba, at the house of M. do Turgot, the French ambassador, which was followed by a duel with M. do Turg&t himself, in which that gentUman was most dangerously wounded. The outrage thus offered to the brother-in-law of the Emperor of the French and to his ambassador, was evidently not a fortuitous circumstance. The career of Messrs. Soule, both father and son, in Madrid, contin ued in the same course both in politics and in society. They freely associated with the revo lutionary leaders in different parte of Europe. The Spanish government were satisfied that they traced the active participation of Mr. Soul6 in some of the disturbances which oc curred in Madrid shortly before he left that capital. In the south of France, which Mr. Soul6 visited for a short timfe in the course of the summer, he held, without disguise, lan guage with reference to the head of the French government which was at least indecorous in the accredited representative of an allied State; and more recently he has been playing; a part at a so-called conference of American ministers at Brussels, where, if we are rightly informed, the chief topics of discussion were not exclu sively of American interest. In short, Mr. Soule had done what he could to obtain an un enviable notoriety in society and in politics, and he can hardly complain if he is regarded in the character he has been so anxious to as sume. ? The French government, under all preceding regime* as well as the present, have possessed and exercised the right of excluding from the territory of France such persons as they did not think fit to admit. Not long ago for in stance, M. Kossuth was informed on his arri val at Marseilles that he woidd not be allowed to enter the country. The other day, upon Mr Soul6's landing at Calais or Boulogne he was politely informed by the police that orders had arrived not to allow him to proceed. No objection was made to his paasport, and no reason was assigned for this decision beyond the will of the French government Soino ex postulation followed, and a reference was made by telegraph to the authorities in Paris, who confirmed the refusal of the local police. So Mr. SouM was compelled, re inftctd, to recross the channel and return to this country, which is perfectly indiscrimtoating in ito toleration of all who may rcach its shores. No one, we im agine, will see much reason to pity Mr. Soule's wrongs. If he lias been affronted, the excep tion made to his prejudice is obviously on per sonal grounds, and has nothing to do with his public character, which was not involved in the question. It would be absurd to contend that he has any right to enter the French ter ritory, for whatever right he may have posewi od as a French citizen was waived by his own act And he may console himself with the re flection that thousands of better men than him self are just now excluded * from that soil to which thev profess more attachment than lie can do. Mis grievance, if it be one, is a pri vate affair, and, though he happens to hold the commission of a Minister of the Lnitcd States in Spain, he has no public or official character in France or any other country. We advert to the subject because we find that there is some disposition on the part of the ministers of the United States, here and in Paris, to give an importance to this affair which it does not possess, and to demand explanations and redress for a measure which the French government had a perfect right to take, if it thought fit We hope that we may be permit ted to tell these ministers, in a friendly spirit, that if they do really resort to violent measures fcf such a cause, they will not be supported by public opinion in Europe, or probably in the United States. It cannot be supposed that thfe'American people are insensible to the in convenience of appointing as their envoys in Europe men who set every rale of social and political life at defiance?who mix with gentle men of character and station only to insult and assail them?and then fall l?ack into that con genial society which has been thrown on our shores by tho political convulsions of former years. No class of statesmen have been more favorably received, or more generally rosnected in Europe than the ministers of the United States, when they brought with them the quali ties which may be reasonably expected in men filling their position ; but it is too much to re quire that the mere title of an Amsrican minis ter should exempt such a "person as Mr. 8oul6 has shown himself to bo from the penalties which attach to his conduct If the people of tho United States are anxious to maintain the dignity and honor of their representatives, they have only to select ministers in whose hands the character of their legations will not suffer; but it would be the height of folly and incon sistency first to send such an envoy as Mr. 8oul6 to Europe, and then to resent as a na tional injury wnat is in fact no more than the result of his own want of conduct and discre tion. The French government will probably decline in such a case to give any explanation and any redress. Their motives for the exclu sion of Mr. Soul? are easily understood and justified; but, if the American missions are well advised, they will let this foolish affair drop, and not convert this private griovance into a cause of dispute between two powerful and friendly States.

This was fully established in the enter tainment given last night by this excollent and res pected company, who were honored by the presence of many distinguished persons, among whom we noticed Colonel Riley, Miyor Keyworth, Quarter master McCollum, and representatives of the fol lowing companies: Washington Light Infantry, (Captain Carrington,) President's Mounted Guard, National Guards, American Riflemen, Washington Rifles, Scott Guards, and the Marion Rifles, a com pany lately formed, who, for the first time, appeared in their new uniform, which is certainly the hand somest dress we have yet seen among our citizen soldiers. It consists of the military coat, white cuffs, and sky-blue pants, producing a pretty effect to the eye. The scenc in the room was truly grand, which numbered some of our most beautiful ladies, who gave a charm and rest to the evening's amuse ment. The dancing was kept up with great spirit, to the delight of all, and the grace and movements of some of the ladies was the remark of many. The captain was ever active in his attentions to the comforts of every one, and none but happy and joy ous faces were to be seen. About twelve o'clock, the company sat down to an excellent supper, pre pared in Mr. Eckhardt's best style, which having full justice been done to, dancing was once more resumed, which was kept up until an early hour this morning. The splendid music of Prosperi's Cotillion Band added greatly to the pleasures of the evening. Protestaht Orphan Asti.uh?Liberal Collec tion.?On Sabbath morning last a collection was taken at the Foundry M. E. Church, (corner of G and 14th streets, Rev. Mr. Phelps, pastor,) and, although the weather was very inclement, and not more than one hundred and fifty persons present, the liberal sum of one hundred and eighty dollars were collected for the institution. The orphans, attended by the matron, to the number of about fifty, were present, and added greatly to the inter est of the occasion by singing "Jfy Mother"t Oravt." We understand that the institution is much in want of funds, in view of the fact that the cold and cheerless winter is approaching. Will not the other Protestant churches imitate the ex ample set them by tho Foundry? Will not tho philanthropic of our city come forward to sustain this praiseworthy institution f Metropolitan Railroad.?Tho proposition to submit the question of a subscription to the Metro politan Railroad, on the part of the corporation, to the people, came up as the special order in the Board of Common Council last night, and was in definitely postponed after a brief discussion. Messrs. Chas. A.

Previously, he had endeavored to make the purchase from Mr. Schwartze, who de clined selling, unless he would produce the order of a physician. This quantity is deemed sufficient to kill ten persons. This sad occurrence affords us an opportunity to urge upon the apothecaries the necessity of some general regulation in reference to the sale of sueh articles. We would respectfully suggest that they unite in some manner to prevent, in future, the in discriminate sale, and, if possible, the improper uses now so frequently made of them.
