OUR NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.
New YORK, Oct IS, 1851.
! EDITORS OF THE HAwK-EyE:
While our papers are daily announcing that
the noble kossu,h may be expected to arrive in
New York, at any hour, and the telegraph from
| Richmond, Va, informs US that the Mississippi
| was seen off Sandy Hook, on Sunday last, the
last mail from England brings US the informa.
ton that the same state of excitement existed in
! London; the Mississippi being expected TO touch
| at southampton, on the Oh inst,
! The Corporation Of London are preparing d
grand reception for the ilustrous Hungarian and
his friends. A magnificent Give procession is TO
be formed, and kossuth is TO ride through the
streets of the Metropolis in an open carriage
| the principal freedom of the City is to be pre-
sented to him; and the proceedings are. of course,
to wind up with "feed,' in true aldermanic
! style.
| 1t appears that the illustrious exile applied,
while al Marseilles. for permission TO land, aud
! TO continue his Journey 10 London. overland,
| through Ia belle France. But The liberal rulers of
the European Republic absolutely refused this
simple request. But, what could the Apostle of
/ Hungarian Freedom hope from Frcnce, the Des-
troyer of Roman Independence? Might he not
rather have feared TO find, with Add el kader. a
prison and grave? How degraded must the
French nation have become. when the fear OF
displeasing the despo.s Of Vienna, induces it to
! insult the great Hero of Hungary, tie only man
amidst all the upbeavinss of European society,
IN the great struggle for Freedom in 1918, who
has won for himself the title of Statesman and
Patriot!
An American gentleman, Henry II. Paul, for
merly of this city, has just started The .lmeicQn
Magazine. in England. Mr. PauPs publication
Office is at 60 St Mlrtinss Lane, London. In
letter TO friend in this city, Mr. Paul says -
There is field IN London for enterprising
Americans. We can teach them "notionS'' they
don't dream OF. They are not at al! posted up
IN the progressive hnesss OF newspaperism, &C.,
do not know Mr. Paul. and cannot therefore.
hazard an opinion as to his chances of success ::
but that ''there is field in London for enterpri-
sing Americans" don't entertain doubt. Mr
Paul appears, however to have made very good
debut in London if an opinion may be formed
from the tone of the English Press. The London
Daily News saws:
1.-The Americans have signal:zed themselves,
on this side of the water, this year and it seems
that they are now going 10 give us a specimen Of
their desultory literature, in a monthly American
Magazine, which has been projected by Henry
Howard Paul, Esq. From glance at the initial
number, we are favorably impressed with the
quality of the literary contents; and, in several
new path quite fresh in ''Merrie Ensand."-
From present appearances, this novel attempt
promises to be highly successful; and il is TO be
presumed that we shall now have Yankee ltera-
ture in abundance"
Poor old NJ. Bull stands sorelv in need of
few crumbs Of comfort, since his lamen'ab'e de-
feat in that Yacht Race, ami the snndry other
little matters in which young relative Of his
fairly beat him hollow. But the old fellow is
just now in high glee, rubbing his hands, ana
drinking his own jolly good health in "heavy
wet" because an English SHIP, called the Chrys-
olyte, has made passage from Liverpool to Chi
ma IN SO days, beating the American clipper ORR
entail, by days. In the midst of all his chuck
ling, however, the old boy seems to have g,ined
some experience, which he cannot forget for he
wisely adds ''thns for the present, the Chrysolue
bears away the palm" Quite right, John, quite
right; it is only for the present. Next week, or
n.Xt month. or, at any rate, next year, we are
bound to make the run in IS: if not 70 days!
The latest intelligence from New Otleans is
exceedingly favorable 10 the prospects Of the lib
Grating party, in the Mexican Provinces; they
had advanced to the town of Reynosa, which
they captured, after trifing resistance; a large
supply Of ammunition falling into their hands
Canales was advancing on Matamoras, and all
opposition from the government may be consid-
cred, at present, ont Of the question. The Trea-
sury is at the lowest ebb, and confus on reigns
supreme in every department. The President is
utterly unable to form a new Cabinet.
This revolutionary movement will, il success
full, fully answer the expectation Of Senator
Douglas. who promised, lately, at our State Ag-
ricultural Fair, san increase of Sugar-grcwiny
States" New Leon already produces sugar; and
the soil and climate SUCH that large quantities
might easily be raised, if labor and capital were
invested. 1t is stated that President Arista is
favorable to the revolution. This statement,
however apparently Incredible, may be satisfac-
torily explained BY the fact that his private For
tune consists Of large tracts of land in the nsur-
gent districts. He knows that Annexation, and
Yankee enterprise, would not lessen the value Of
his property.
Some years ago, Captain symmes preached
the opinion that there might be an opening in the
earth, at each pole and that ships m ght be able
to pass through the earth, from North to South,
by a diametrical short cut, if they could only
once pass the barrier Of ice which surrounded
this snbterranean channel. The theory was
laughed at, and designated as ''Syrnmes Hole;'
but some EsNor,- Western has addressed a COM
munication to the Montreal Herald, conending
that the theory has been confirmed by the ac-
counts of the Arctic Exploring Expedition He
quotes the following from Captain Penny's &C
counts

ton Channel, not very far from its opening frcm

The correspondent Of the Montreal Herald |
then suggests, that perhaps Sir John Franklin |
and his party have sailed into s'Symmes' Hole !"
and, in consequence Of the strength Of the cur |

steamers, to tow the vessels Of the gallant Frank
