%* The Revue den Deux Mondes has been formed
for the purpose of establishing an intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. It is
proposed in this collection to give a prominent
place to the affairs of the American Union, to the
labors of its politicians, and to the Literary and
Scientific publications of its Authors. The Revue
des Deux Mondes now makes a public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending to it,
through Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each
of their publications. The Revue is in a better position
than any other organ in Europe to serve as
an intellectual link between the Old and the New
World, which has as Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of France. Many of its contributors hare visited
North and south Amenca, and it still counts among
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps.
Each numDer of the Revue, in addition to its articles
signed by the first names of France, contains, under
the title of" Chronique de la Quinzaine," a historical
summary of the principal events of the political
world, which will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European movements.

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gay lord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the best magazine in America.' It
has nearly reached its tkirtv-fourth voiume, and in
its list of upward of a hundred contributor? arc found
the names of every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new
volume, containing a superb engraving, a portrait
qf the editor engraved by Cheney, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence on the first day of July,
1849. The following-notices of the Knickerbocker
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers of distinction.
'Thi Knickerbocker.?The last number of this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all its departments;
and in its rich and diversified contents,
coutinues to vindicate its reputation as the must
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
the United States. When we first started the old
New Yorker,' our friend Clark had preceded us
as Editor of the Knickerbocker about a twelvemonth:
it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; a fact which literally
'speaks volumes' in praise of the manner in
which'the work had been'conducted. No number
of the K. had ever been indued under Clabk's supervision
that did not bear indubitable evidence of editorial
care, and anxious thought, and well-directed
labor enstamped upon its paged. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly
edited, in the strictest sense of tne term.'?New
York Daily Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
aeymptotee, whose peculiarity is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The Knickbbbockeb, which
has reached an age for a Magazine much greater
than a hundred years for a man, and only to be attained
by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetually
approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an exceleior,
for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend Clabk may
understand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There
is no publication in the United States that has so attractive
or popular a feature as the Editor'? table of
the Knickkbbockbb.'?New York Courier and Enquirer.
'We regard it as the very best work of its kind in
the Union.'?St. Alban'e ( va.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Ccllen Bbyant, ?n
the New York Evening Poet.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
j mu. nj.-a ?_ nrt_ir. p, , ??)a kan
uay?. iiic rjuxvur iimhc iv am wi. vm?? ?
piest vein; varied and racy in a remarkable degree.'
?New York Commercial Advertiser.
'The Knickerbocker seems to increase in attraction
as it advance* in age. .It exhibits a monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or
ability.'?National Intelligencer.
'Tux Knickerbocker is one of the most valuable
magrzines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in the higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argue.
"The Editor's Table alone is worth the price of
the work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms a libr&ryoook to
save and re-read. A set of the Knickerbocker,
bound up in volumes, oo the shelves of one of our
popular libraries, is more consulted (so the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Boston Daily Transcript.
President Everett, qf Harford College, late
Minister to England.?'I peruse the Knickerbocker
with high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order of merit auite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Pauldinu,late Secretary qf the Navy ?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Prof. Longfellow, Cambridge University.?'The
Knickekbockek stands high in this quarter. It is
superior to most of the English magazines, and well
deserves its lanre list of subscribers."
Hon.* Robert W. Chariton, Georgia.?'The
Knickerbocker is a work which requires no puffing;
and I shall always feel that I am conferring a
favor on those to whom I recommend it.'
The London Examines.?'This very clever Magazine
is the plcasantest periodical in the United
States. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting, are well worthy of imitation i
by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Morning Chronicle.?'Judging from
the numbers before us, wr are inclined to consider
1 this the best of all the American literary periodicals.
Its contents arr highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Literaev Gazette.?'The taste
and talent which the KNicKEaaocxER displays are
highly creditable to American writers, ana very
| agreeable for English readers.'
London Meteopolitan Monthly Magazine.?
'We have read several numbers of this talented periodical,
and rejoiced in them. They would do
credit U> any country or to any slate ol civilization
to which humanity nas yet arrived.'
London Atheneum.?'Krura a very clever
Monthly Magazine, 'Tbc Knickerbocker.' of New
York, we copy tlie following spirited story,' etc.
Sir Edward Bclwbb Lvtton.?'The Knicker:
rocker is the best American periodical 1 have yet
' seen. I take pleasure in enclosing you an article
which was penned expressly for your work.'
Oh abler Dickens, esq.?'I read the Knickebbockeb
with very great pleasure: it is indeed a
must various and entertaining periodical. It affords i
mi oleasure to contribute to tile Daires of a work
j which number* among it* regular correspondent* |

Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'1 have read a good
| many of the article* in the few number* ol the
Knickebiockk* which you *ent me, and And them
to power** great merit. Some of it* paper*, it i*
true, were too light for my serious torn of mind;
yet the whole appear* well calculated to gratify the

Capt. F. Maiitatt.?'You make an excellent

good company in which it will find itself.'
