Owing, to the late revolutions and counter re vo-
~ buttons among the nations OF Europe, which have

imperfect records of the newspapers, and 'he eabo-
and ponderous treascs to be furnished 10y the his

therefore, deem il proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz

rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in England-Iory, w hg and Ra-
dical-s. Blackwo God and the London Quarterly -
are Tory the :" Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the " Westminster Review !" Liberal. The North
British Review " owes It's establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland. and is not
ultra in its views on any o. the grand depart
rnents OF human knowledge it was originally edited
by Lr Chalmers, and now, since his death. is con-
Quoted by his son-in-iaw DIR. Hanna associated with

very highest order. The Westminster though
