y E COURRIER DE L'EUROPE, BOHAIN'S FRENCH
A-4 NEWSPAPER,. forming at once a Weekly Journal and a
permanent work, which for two years has met with the
greatest success, publishes every Saturday a complete digest
of all the papers printed in France, whether Political, Lite-
rary, Scientific, Artistical, or Judiciary. To an Englishman,
LE COURRIER DE L'EUROPE offers the only medium by
which any degree of perfection can be attainain the French
Language, since by a newspaper alone cat/ he become ac-
quainted with the phrases of the day, the rtual diction, or
the idiomotical caprices as they arise. TO contents of each
tiumber are as follows :—Political Department : 1. The Bul-
letin of the week, the events of which ari reviewed and com-
mented on ;-2. All articles, in full, transcribed from the
French Papers, which can possibly interest a reader on this
side of the Channel ;--3. Maritime and Colonial Intelligence,
and the Obituary of the Week;-4. Law Department, re-
porting all trials before the Courts of Assize, the Correctional
and General Police, the Civil Courts, &c., &c. ;-5. Literary
Department, presenting all the most interesting works pub-
lished during the preceding week by the most talented authors
of France, complete, whether Romances, Novels, Tales,
Sketches, Poems, or the brilliant Feuilletons peculiar to
France ;-6. Articles on Sciences and the Fine Arts, Inven-
tions, Discoveries, and, especially, a detailed account of the
proceedings of the Academie des Sciences as they occur ;-
7. Industry, Commerce, Agriculture, Horse and Cattle
Breeding, and General Statistics ;-8. Theatrical Gossip,
and a Review of all Pieces performed for the first time in
Paris ;—Courrier de Londres, Feuilleton on the sayings and
doings of that capital by the Viscomtesse. de Malleville ;-
10. Facts and Scraps, Incidents and Anecdotes, informa-
tion as to the Bourse de Paris, and the other Money Mar-
kets of Europe, Correspondence, Advertisements, &c. &c.
Thus those who read LE COURRIER DE L'EOROPE on the
Saturday become as well acquainted with what occurs in
France as if they were domesticated in Paris itself. Its
editor, M. VICTOR BOHAIN, was editor of the celebrated
Figaro, under the Restoration, and on the Revolution of
1830 was appointed Prefet of the Department La Charente.
Every number contains the substance of an Bvo volume, and
is well printed on fine paper.
Subscription, paid in advance, £1 6s. per annum ; 13s.
for 6 months, or 6s. Gd, per quarter ; separate numbers Gd.
each, stamped for Post, and circulating free in all the colo-
nies of the British Empire. It will be forwarded, on receipt
of a Post-office order, by the Publisher, 10, Wellington-
street, Strand ; or any Booksellers or News Agent in the
United Kingdom or elsewhere ; published every Saturday,
at 2 o'clock, p.m.

LE CC/DREIER DE L'EUROPE, as may be ascertained by
the Stamp Returns, having an extensive circulation, and
among the highest classes almost exclusively, will be found a
most advantageous medium for advertisements, which are
received at the Office, 10, Wellington-street, Strand.
N.B. The editor begs to call the particular attention of
persons residing in those countries now visited every fortnight
by the Transatlantic Steamers, to the COURRIER DE L'Eu-
ROPE, presenting a more perfect resume of the week's news
than is to be found in any other paper, and as being op that
account preferable for the inhabitants of the colonieg to the
massy details of the daily papers.
