France and Cuba.

LONDON, September 2O.-The Post of this
morning says: " 1t now appears that Ame-
RIGA only made friendly presentations to
the Madrid Government in favor of the
reasonable demands of Cuba. Probably
Napoleon's to the Regency is that Spain
should act considerably towards Cuba, and
so disarm American influence. The French
Government favors conciliatory policy at
Madrid and non-intervcntion at Washing
ton.
The Standard says that General PRINTS
attempt to induce England and France to
join in a protcctoratc for Cuba totally
failed.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says that the Emperor's recovery has
caused lull in the fiery debate which had
begun between the party Of the Empress
and the friends of Prince Napoleon. The
rivalry already displayed by each faction
gives foretaste of what is in store for
France when the death Of the Emperor lets
his family lose and gives up the State to
their unseemly discord.

The CuRAN LEADER.-Cespedes, the lea
der of the Cuban revolution, is thus de-
scribed by an American gentleman who
has returned from the island:
"He is man about forty-tive years of
age; is middling stout gentleman, Of
agreeable temper, and is quite mild-man-
nered. His complexion Is fair, though Of
dark brown hair and eyes. There is no
pretence about him, He is no talker, yet
when he speaks it is to the purpose. He
reads English well, and speaks it, though
not fuently. At first view one would take
him for plain. quiet, unpretending gem
tleman; but on acquaintance lie discovers
sagacity and profound knowledge of men
and of the world. It may be said that he
is man of eminently practical ideas. He
is unmored at reyerses, and has high,
undoubting confidence in the success of the
revolution. There is no gentleman more
amiable than he, and one more beloved by
everybody. Cespedes is large property
owner; was at the opening Of the war the
first lawyer at the Bayamo bar, and has
been eminently successful in all his efforts
and undertakings. He can endure much,
for his physique is well adapted to labor,
either mental or physical. Perhaps he
would weigh $50 pounds"
