Goicouria. and appearing in the New York Her
aid of Monday. makes some curious ana ihPor-
tant disclosures relative to the plans and views
of President Walker, of Nicaragua. General
Coicouria is a Cuban exile. devoted TO the eman-
cipation of his native island and its annexation to
the Il. States But. for reasons which he dis
closes. he connected himself with the enterprise
Of Walker and was not long since appointed as
that functonary's minister TO England. One OF
the condition. upon which Gocoura attached
himself to the cause of Walker appears in the
following clause Of paper bearing Walkers
signature:

of honor that he will assist aud cooperate WITH his
person and with his various resources such rs men
and others In the cause of Cuba and in favor OF her
liberty after having consolidated the peace ana 'hf
government OF the republic of Nicaragua
When Goicouria's credentials a Minister 10
England were forwarded TO him in New York
they were accompanied by letter from Walker,
In which he says

federation, based on military principles.
