owing TO the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" lutions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each ctrr in quick succession, and of which
the end is not yei, the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy a middle
ground between the hasiy, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous teases TO be furnished by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem il proper 20 call renewed attention TO
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz

This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry
HUGH K. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
Ii Is designed TO make it equal To any Weekly
sheet IN the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--is conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their fellow-citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence of Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that it has been
warm unremitting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been insted into them from their
birth, can be eradcated, at a period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least
know it to be impossible.

lshed requires that the subscription be paid al
