The Austrian Plot to Murder
Kossuth.


For some months past our foreign adwcse
nave often contained limitations of the discove-
nv OF a plot Of the Austrian government for the
assass ination OF kossuth the details of which
nave never reached us, The London cores
pendent Of the North American, in bis last letter
of Feb, 90, gives tae following particulars of
that attrocous act of state viIlainy, which can
find no parallel in christendom perhaps, since
The dark ages.-ED.
II have before alluded to dabolcal pot of
the Asutrian government TO murder the distln-
guishrd Kossuth. Count Stuvner, 1t is said
planned the awful conspiracy against the life of
kossuth, and against several other political pris-
oncrs The plot was communicated to poor
Hungarian by a Frenchmnn, who loaned the
former some money to defray the expenses If his
Journey to Schumaa. The Hungarian was nc.
companicd by fifteen persons, and he was in
sructed to iherate certain refugees when he ar.
rived at Schnma but he was detnined at Con.
stlnlinoplc by his passport He visited family
ol Ilungarians, and spoke # his intended plans.
The daughter of the master Of the house warned
the Hungarian MT TO proceed to Schumla. be-
Cnuse her lover, Cr0at, ind his companions,
were engaged to murder him and other Hunga-
rians.
The whole conspiracy was at once disclosed
to the Minister of Foreign offrs. 1t was an
internal plot and worthy Of the companions of
IIayne0u. 1t appears that Kossuth and his
friends were to be warned that they were to be
poisoned the hired ossossins of Austria-the
Crors-assisted TOO by n sincere and honest
Uungarlan-were to represent TO Kossuth that
they would liberate him and his friends and af.
ter they hid escaped from Schuma, they infen.
ded to follow them and murder every man on
The road. Fortunately the whole plot was dis.
cover d IN time to save m1ny valuable lives
The Porte immediately inquired INTO the affair,
and arrested twelve croats, VINO had been hired
by Auslria to accomplish the horrd job. Iii is
IS said the Frenchman who loaned the Hunpa-
rian the money for his journey was not aware of
the plot"

LARGE Coin CoINs.-An important measure
to commerce, in connexion with the gold of CAL
ifnrnia, has Just been brought forward by Mr..
Gwinu senator from that new state. 1t propos-
es, virtually. that gold coins Of the value of IRON
one hundred 10 ten thousand dollars each shall
be struck at the mint. The circular form hith-
erto universally followed for small coins, which
had It's origin IN the rude, ancient contrivances
of dropping The melted metal from a ladle, to be
then struck with punch and hammer, adspts
them 10 our purses, but would not be appropriate
for these gigantic coins, designed for heavy
transactions at home. and exchanges abroad =
For these purposes they should be rectangular,
that they may be convenient for packing in box
es.
These huge rectangular coins are but a valua-
BILE and ingenious improvement upon the limited
and already existing system Of European Banks
ers They are TO be struck of refined gold. of
uniform fneness, and with appropriate legends
I'd devices, similar to those upon our smaller
Gins, and their values conspicuously marked,
ami the inscriptions LIBERTY and UNITED
STATES Of AMERICA. Counterfeiling and
muilauon are provided against by suitable con
trivances and penal enaclments.-Cnion.
