vaIedietory OF the Editor Of the Revue du
NOveau Monde.

given TO. day TO our subscribers, termnateo the
curth volume and the first year of its publication.
This was H. term fixed by US for the experiment
by which we might know the immediate results,
and also what 20 expect in the future. The expec-
tatisns not having answered our hopes for the
work, or justified its continuance, the publication
of the Revtso must cease with this number.
This event will not be the occasion of any tragic
imprecations. WewiIl no. throw, as lances and
powder, ourquills and black sand to Heaven; but,
on the contrary, We will philOsophically take our
portion in the event-always a part of our antici-
pshons in our calculations of success. And as we
have yet TO give some pages, for the last time, TO
complete our work, we will consecrate them to
the payment OF our debts--for, above ALL it is ne
cessary TO make known that We are not bankrupt,
but merely have shu. up our shop, because we are
not doing any business. When we speak of paying
our debts il is only our moral deb.s we have in
view, for we have never had others, and from the
hrst day OF our RepaeW, till the last, all expenses,
without any exceptions, have been paid for IL cash,
and often in advance.
Thus, in order TO show Our scruple, we advise
our ave subscribers, who have paid in advance
until January 1851 the sum OF l3 so, TO take back
their money from our Office, or from the hands OF
our agents II, up to that time these considerable
funds are yet in our possession, we will take the
advice of Mile. Jenny Lind, in order to distribute
them among the charitable establishments of the
city, as proportional specimen OF the gain of
this century of science and harmony.
If the number of the subscribers paying in ad-
vance svery thin, az may be seen, in spite OF the adj
vice printed on the first page OF our R.oie~, on
another side, end by way Of compensation, the
ngmber of subscribers paying only at the end is
very considerable. There is also a notable cate
CORY of subscribers who never pay. IL is TOO
great Interpretation of the system of " free astruc-
tion," but not obligatory. Those Phi!adelphians
we have exclusively found in the city of Brotherly
Love, would never have understood that we were
not socialist to such DE- gree In order to be just, we
must say that, after having received the Rsyiep,
DUNG three months, six months, Nc 4, without
stopping it, several OF those amateurs of very cheap
publications. have offered 10 give back to our col
ltcor the numbers which they could find. Blu,
as, at Philadelphia, great de al of paper is en-.
ploy ed in loading pistols or in making comets for
chesnuts, It appears that ours could not be found,
if we may judge by what we have received
During the first six months Of our publication,
the number of our subscribers took progressive
march, but for the last six months it staid unaug
menled. We went up TO the summit of the tower
TO mehng coming from the South. But,
less happy than sister Ann, we have only seen some
powder powderiDg for us in some journals.
Alter having given the nome lature of his sub
scribers Ia New Orleans, Havana, and Canada, the
editor of the Repie,c adds that New York was the
city in which he had the most numerous list of SUB
scrbers, for New York is not only city of COM
merce but of science and arts. He gives the pro-
portion in which the principal towns of the Union
figured on his subscription book-

In the material part of our enterprise, we had not

ness A friend, whose literary aputudes have ac
lively and usefully aided us in the work, was our
only aid. But neither of us had time or liberty 10
make the Market" thing for which we were
incompetent. Our substantial success could not
but be in danger; but what were we to do I? We
were not like Mahomet, "wben the mountain did
no, come lie us, we could not go the mountain"
II Providence had put 10 our way Bsrnum, no
doubt, in spite of everything, our Golfers would
have been filled with bank notes But Barnums
are very rare on this earh and il is not given TO
every one 10 make money, in passing from the
white to the black, and rtce vrsa, as the negro of
the American Museum. Ii the process could sue
coed IN another way, many of our political Co
temporaries would be, day, more neh than they
will ever be.
These are the causes which decide US TO suspend
the publication OF The Rerue do Noureau Monde
ard whichtwe have judged proper 10 explain TO
our subscribers. Ii now we destined TO retire
to the leisure OF private lie, we will not complain,
for We will have with us the satisfaction of having
Loyalty filled our task; we will have the sentiment
Of dear sympathies, and, ut last, the hope of
truce lett behind US in the domain of publicity.
Bot IT, on the contrary, new circumstances .'carry
back The skin of the fox 10 the store of the furrer"
We will not complain, for il will be to us another
opportunity 10 renew with the public our literary
Relations, and TO take again our place in the ranks
Of the American press, which has always been
very fraiernal towards us, and 10 which cannot
forge 10 pay, in finishing the last tribute of our
gratitl lie.
