THE PROPOSED RISING IN HUNGARY-TMPoRTANT
AGREEMENT BETWEEN KossUTH AND NAPOLEON
From the London Times (ciiy articleJ JulySl
Through perfectly reliable financial channel in
formation has unexpectedly been obtained to-day
OF the intentions of the Emperor Napoleon with re-
gard to Hungary. They will excite surprise, but
the character of the parties from whom the account
is derived and the nature of their opportunities for
obtaining details upon the points such as to leave
no opening for incredulity. kossuth has by this
time had no interview with the French monarch at
headquarters, and the circumstances by which their
meeting was preceded are thus narrated.
Colonel Nicholas Kiss, who is residing in Paris
and who married French lady of fortune conduct
ed all the preliminary steps. 0vertures made
to him, which he had to communicate to Kossuth
and he has therefore of late been constantly to and
fro between the two countries. For some time he
found it impossible to bring about an understand
ing. Kossuth required guarantees the good faith
of the Emperor, which his Majesty hestated to
give. and it was at last resolved at Paris to send
Kossuth message that determination had been
formed to raise Hungary with or without his aid
kossuth replied that in that case he would issue an
address to the Hungarian nation, warning them not
to believe the Emperor's assurances. This proved
decisive kossuth was invited to Paris, and left
London for that city few days before the depart
of his Majesty for the army. He was re-
ceived at the Tuileries by the Emperor and certain
defined conditions then agreed TO. These
were-1. That the Emperor should give Kossuth
corps ddrmee and arms and ammunition to any ex-
tent required. 2. That the Emperor should issue
the first Proclamation to the Hungarian nation, and
that this should be followed by one from Kossuth.
g. That in case of Hungary rising and freeing her
self from AUSTRIA France should be the first official
ly to recognize the independence of the country
and should then obtain the same recognition from
her allies. 4. That the Emperor should allow Hun
gary, without interference on his part, to choose
her own form of government, and to elect for SOW
eregn the person she may deem most desirable
D. That the formation of a Hungarian legion should
pOmmpOpn pIIatplv And Last hat a IN
ken of agreement to the foregoing, the Emperor
Napoleon should place 5000, ,000f. at kossuth's dis
posal the management of which, Kossuth having
Declined to accept 1t, has been placed nnder the
Hungarian Committee now acting at GeaOa 81
multaneously with the adoption of this arrange
ment KOssuth received instructions to return to
England and to agtate for the maintenance of
strict neutrality task which the public
he faithfully fulfilled. Having delivered several
public speeches in this country, he then left for
Italy, and the latest intelligence with regard to him
is that, accompanied by Colonel Nicholas Kiss and
Major Fgyelmesy, he was on his way to the French
headquarters
In conclusion, it is necessary to remark that only
two three days after the conditions with Kos
suth agreed to, Count Walewski gave, it is
understood, to Lord Crowley the most positive
surances that it is not the intention of the Emperor
| Napoleon to make use of any revolutionary ele
! ments But, although that statement appears to
have been totally at variance with the preceding
facts, it not the business of lookprson to attempt
to explain the paradox 1t is enough to say that the
clear and unqualified, and that it is not thought
likely they will be denied in any essential de-
gree either by Count WalewsH or any other official
parsonage.
The Paris correspondents of the Daily Neos and
Globe hint at the probability of French force oper
ating in Hungary and making a dash at Pesth,
which they could reach without setting foot upon
any territory belonging to the Germanic Confeder
alton.
The London Daily Neos, referring to the above
article from the Times, says: at is impossible to
understand with what object inventions like the
selfcontradict5d events published day after day.
1t is needless to point out that if the reported
ditions had been agreed to by the French Emperor,
NJ. kossuth would not now be in Italy,
An ELYsTUM ON EARTH.-An English resident in
Cyprus has favored with some interesting de
tails relative to this valuable island. Cyprus has
been subject to the dominion of the Turks since
1855, it having been taken from the Fenitians.-
When it became Turkish province the population
was 900 600; but this has been reduced by tvran-
ny, revolutions and emigration to $50 000 which is
the gross number of tn present inhabitants-uter-
ly insufficient for the cultivation of even one-thi
of the rich soil Ofthe island which is l64 miles long
by 63 broad. The resources of Cyprus, large and
! so various, are consequently neglected, and our
correspondent desires to awaken the interest of
| England, with a view to promote the welfare of his
! adopted country. -
| He says that Cyprus affords large field for the
cultivation of cotton, now uch in request al
| though the annual exports have declined from
30, 900 to 5000 bales, and the supply is yearly de-
creasing. Incidence and want of hands, as in
the case of the West Indies, are the two evils to
be encountered by enterprising men, energy and
perseverance being qualities Indispensable. The
soil of Cyprus is fertile and well suited to the
growth of cotton. The potatoe also hourishes to a
great extent. 1t is believed that the Turkish Gov
ernment weud grant leases of land, subject to the
| usual taxes. Not only to farmers, however, does
Cyprus offer great inducements to SETTLE but also
! to families with small means, desrous of living
! cheaply. .-....
The antiquarian, too, will meet with objects of
interest at every step, while the mineralogst will
find that the silver, lead, copper, and coal mines,
mentioned in Virgil, are no myths. Butchers meat
may be had at Sd. per pound, bread ID, tea 35.,
sugar 3d., coffee 3d., milk I'D. per pint oil Cd
per pint wine 3D. to Sd. per bottle, and spirits 2s.
| per bottle. Fruit and vegetables may be had al
most for the asking, the prices being merely nomi-
nal. House rent is fl0 to $50 year, according to
size and site. Water is plentiful and good, and
French, Italian, Greek, and Turkish, may be learnt
at the rate of Sd. a lesson The government of the
] island is under a civil and military pasha; there
! being 500 troops in the chief towns. Nicosia, the
capital is well fortified, and holds about $1,000 in
habitants; it is twenty miles from Larnca, the chief
! seaport, where the military pasha and the foreign
| consus reside IT,: .....
The laws are mildly and impartialy administer
ed, aud crime is of rare occurrence, robbery and
murder being unknown The inhabitants are friend
y to Europeans, and three quarters are Christians
of the Greek church Except l,500 Papists and 10
Protestants) Lastly-and who can resist this at
traction-the fair "Koconas" of the island are so
beautiful in face and elegant in form as to suggest
the belief that they their descent to the goddess
who is said to have risen from the the shores
of their verdant island Such the terrestrial para
disc to which our correspondents in Syren-like
strains, would allure those of his countrymen and
eOuntrywomen whom discomfort NAV drive away
from home. -
