BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.


OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo-
~ lutions among the nations of Europe. which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and Of which te end IL not yet" the leading peri
odcals of Great Britain have become invested with
| a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle gr. nnd between the hasty, disjoint
ed, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news-
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous trcascs to
be furnished by the historian at a future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they offered to
subscribers. The following is their list, viz;
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals arccontained the views, mod
cratey, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whig, and
Radical. "Blackwood" and the Z" London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the "Edipburgh Review" Whig;
and the Westminster Review" Liberal. The
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views any Of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; il was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now. since his
DEATH is conducted by his SON in law, DR.. Hams,
associated with Sir David Brewster. It's literary
character is of tie very highest order The "West
minister though reprinted under that title only is
published in England under tho title of the " For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" il being, in
fact union of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. 1t has. there
fore, the advantage by this combination Of uniting
in work the beet features of both heretofore
issued.

CUBA.

BY the arrival of the Georgia, later and still
contradictory accounts Of the revolutionary move
ments on this island have been received The
weight Of evidence seems to favor the idea that
general rising Of the Cubans against the existing
Government has taken place, and that many Of the
Government troops have joined the insurgents
Gen Lopez has sailed from New Orleans, with n
party of sympathisers, and we learn that $50
"Fllibustersn have left Mobile for Cuba
The Cubans in New York assert that they have
received reliable information from their friends
going to show that the Government accounts pub
lished in the Havana papers are UTTERLY FALSE,
and that their very falsehood confirms, in several
important instances, the news now received from
the Patriots.
The news from the Patriots states that at sew
eral important points, at last advces, pro,iueia-
meaos had taken place, and the insurgents were
in the field.
The Government announce, on the contrary,
that all the rebels had been taken or shot and
that the utmost quiet prevailed in all parts of The
Island, the insurrectiOn having been entirely
broken up. Atthe same time, when they say that
all is quiet, they publish official dispatches from
Principe, Las Tunas, Sibanicd, Cienfuegos, Trim
idad, Villa Clara, aud Santo Espiritu stating that
all these places are infested by reid gnsriiias.
The above-named places comprise all the chief
towns from one end of the Central Department
to the other, in length 500 miles, and embracing
full oue-third of the island Of Cuba.
From the Government, therefore, IL will be
seen that the revolution is pery general.
