II will be recolected that Mr.. Bennett left this
country on tbs 10Th of June last, for the purpose
ofvisiting all the cities of the old world, and
ganizing a system of correspondence on a scale
greater han has been ever attempted by any other
journal in this country. For the purpose OF having
it as perfect and comprehensive as the unbounded
patronage bestowed on his literary efforts by the
American public would admit OF, he has visited
every city and town of consequence on the con.
tinent OF Europe, and employed in each, either
an agent to increase the circulation of this paper,
or correspondent, in every respect competent
TO give graphic and faithful narratives of all the
Commercial, financial and political events, that
might come within his knowledge With the
view, also, of improving, if possible, the me-
chanical part of the Neo York Herald, he has
made II point to visit the principal newspa-
per establishments in each Of these cities and
towns
While making the tour of Europe with this OBJ
iect in view, he regularly kept a diary, in which

fore him, for the purpose of making it the ground
work Of series of letters and articles on Euro
pean affairs, which he intends to publish in the

his articles ou.his return to New York.
According to the intelligence received from him
by the Cambria, he has now rested for season
from his travels, and selected Paris for his winter
residence, where he will employ his leisure time
in corresponding with his paper.
sThose acquainted with Mr.. Benefits character,
and who are aware OF the knowledge he always
possessed of the politics of the world, can readily
perceive that the stock o. information, statistics,
and data, that he has gathered in the course of hi
tour throughout Europe. will be OF the highest
Importance to the United States, when published.
in connection with his own views and reflections
II Is his intention to return to thsi city and re-
sumo his editorial labors early in the coming
spring, when he will make such changes and
add such new features to this paper, as will make
II the leading journal of the world; for the progress
Of America is so rapid, that to be the leading
journal OF theUnited States, is to occupy that DO
sltion to the world.
