The Revue de* Deux Monde* ha* been formed
>r the purpose of establishing an intercourse in
ic intellectual pursuits the most followed between
istinguished men of Europe and America. It is
roposed in this collection to give a prominent
lace to the affairs of the American Union, to the
tbors of its politicians, and to the Literary and
cientific publication* of its Authors. The Revue
e* Deux Mondes now makes a public appeal to
merican Authors and Editors, by sending to it,
irough Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each
f their publication*. The Revue is in a better poition
than any other organ in Europe to servo as
u intellectual link between the? Old and the New
Vorld, which ha* a* Editors and Contributors the
tost efhinentpolitical, scientific, and literary men
f Prance. Many of its contributors have visited
forth and 8outh America, and it still counts among
tiem many of the Diplomatic, and Consular Corps.
lach number of the Revue, in addition to its articles
igned by the firs* names of France, contains, under
he title of" Chronique de la Quinaaine," a historial
summary of the principal events of the political
/orId, which will certainly be, for the American,
he most faithful picture of the European movenents.

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Guy lord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the best magazine in America.' It
has nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in
its list of upward of a hundred contributori are found
the names of every distinguished writer, inale 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 Chens v, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence on the first day of July,
1849. The following noticeaof the Knickerbocker
arc from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers or distinction.
'The Knickerbocker.?The last number oi this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and Deautiful type, in all its de
partments; and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
tne United States. When we first started the old
'New Yorker,' our friend Clark had preceded us
as Editor of the Knickerbocker about a twelve- 1
mouth: 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 has been conducted. No number
of the K. has ever been issued under Claik'b supervision
that did not bear indubitable evidence of editorial
care, and anxious thought, and well-directed
labor ens tamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly
edited, in tl.e strictest sense of tne term.'?New
York Daily 'JYibune.
'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 Knickerbocker, 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 exceltior,
for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend Clark may
understand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There
is no publication in the United States that hassoattractive
or popular a feature as the Editor't table of
the Knickerbocker.'?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 Cullbn Bryant, in
the New York Evening Poet.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor's Table is in Mr. Clark's happiest
vein; v aried and racy in a remarkable degree.'
?New York Commercial Advertiser.
'The Knickerbocker seems to increase in attraction
as it advances in age. It exhibits a monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or
ability.'?r\aiunuu /nitui^mcrr.
The Knickerbocker is one of the moat valuable
mag: .zincs of the day, and outatripa all competition
in the higher walka of lierature.'?Albany Argus.
"The Editor's Table alone ia worth the price of
the work. It ia not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forma a library book to
save and re-rc&d. A aet of the Knickebbockeb,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves of one of our
popular libraries, ia more consulted (so the librarian
fiaa often told ua) than any other similar work.'?
Boston Dotty TVanscript.
President Everett-, qf Harford CoiUgt, latr
Minister to England.?'I peruse the Knickerbocker
Willi high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order of merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Paulding,lair Secretary of On Navy.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Paor. Longfellow, Cambridge University.?'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter. It is
1 superior to must of the English magazines. a?d
deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Robert M. Charlton, Georgia.?'The
Knickerbocker ia a work which requires no puff
ing; and I shall always feel that 1 am conferring a
I fa i or on those to whom I recommend it.'
The London Examinee.?'This very clever Magazine
is the pleaaantrst periodical in the United
States. Its articles, which arc numerous and short,
various aud interesting,are well worthy of imitation
by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Morning Cheoniclb.?'Judging from
the numbers before us, we are inclined to consider
this the bust of ail the American literary periodicals.
Its i on ten is are highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Litebary Gazette.?'The taste
and talent which the Knickerbocker displays are
highly creditable to American writers, ami very
agreeable for English readers."
I_c>ndon Metropolitan Monthly Magaeinb.?
'We have read arveral numbers of litis talented periodical,
and rejoiced in liiein. They would do
credit to any country or to any staU- of civilisation
to which humanity lias yet arrived.'
London Athi.nzim.?'From a very clever
Monthly Magazine, 'The Knickerbocker.'of New
