AND. New York. ~ Park Place
new semi-monthy magazine, under this title,
in the French language, was commenced in New
York the first Of the present month and two num-
bers now before US. The editor, NJ de Trobri.
and, The called Baron before the revolution of
February,) is an accomplished scholar and gen.
tleman; and we doubt il French journalism, rich
it sin distinguished talent with ts Jules Janins
its Marrssts, Girardins and Gautiers, can show i,
writer who untes in his style 80 much ease, ele.
gance, and vivacity, with so much manly energy
and pith. He Is not merely gay dcscrbcr of pass
ing characters and scenes with the eye of an artist
TO seize, and the hand TO portray, the Cynthia of
the minute" but lac is an earnest thinker, who
pcnetrates the supercies Of subject 10 its core.
and mingles deep philosophy with his enlivenine
wit.
In the salutatory address 10 his readers, NJ de
Trobriand says, in language which should be read
in the original TO be appreciated:
owe believe the moment has arrived for found
ing on liberal bases publication which shall en-
courage the practice Of the French language in
the United States, and familiarize minds with all
the tendencies Of the intellectual and artistic
movement, which constitutes the double supremacy
of our natal country. II is one tic the more which
we have the ambition 10 knot between the two
countries; and an opportunity, which we seek, TO
animadvert upon many errors, and correct many
still existing prcjudices. Too long have Americans
looked at France through the dclusive veil which
British writers have held up. The conformity of
Language has, for these many years, necessarily
led them 10 receive from English publications erro-
ncous notions, the fallacy of which they at length
begin to recognise. And here s ono Of the benefits
that have accrued from the visits of so many travel
lers from this country, whom the leisure Of wealth
or the desire of knowledge has conducted 20 Eu-
rope, there to study for themselves the people who
have preceded that Of the United States In the WAYS
OF civilization; studies fecund in importan mt truths
for the American nation, whose destiny seems 10
aggrandize II, from year 10 year, with all that cx-
perience has tardily furnished 10 European nations
from age 10 age.
" And thus il is, we believe an incontestable
fact, that in the United States the study of the
French tongue Is increasing among those classes
with whom intellectual culture has the largest
opportunity of accomplishment from the resources
OF education. II has grown TO be at once an
essential complement 10 the studies Of childhood
a source of satisfaction and advantage in youth
and an imperative utility in the intellectual occu-
pations of mature age. If, under these circum
stances, the publication of French review is OBJ
perfume and answers general intellectual want
II is "A conclusion which leads us 10 make the pub
lie the Judge of the apropos of our programme and
of our capacity TO fulfil it."
