The Princess Ouive of CuMBER- 
LAND announces two volumes of her

tion at two pounds, for the purpose of 
relieving her from captivity, and to

The summer having set in two 
months before its usual time, and fine 
weather being always unfavourable to 
the sedentary pursuits of literature, 
the interest of the spring publications 
of the London publishers has seriously 
suffered, and the general dearth of 
trade has in consequence been pecu- 
liarly felt by the booksellers. ‘The ex- 
tended power and appetite for reading, 
the inerease of book-societies, the li- 
beral scope of modern education, and 
a change of scason, will, however, 
correct eyils in this trade sooner than 
can be exepcted in regard to other 
trades ‘suffering entirely from fluctua- 
tions of property. 
In our last Varieties we presented 
our readers with the state of the Lon- 
don newspaper-press; and, we have 
no doubt, (merit being alike,) that the 
press in general is in a state as credi- 
table to public discrimination. The 
Times, the Morning Chronicle, and the 
Sunday’s News, distinguished for their - 
independence, enjoy the same as- 
cendancy asthe Monthly Magazine and 
the Monthly and Edinburgh Reviews, 
among the journals of Jiterature. 
Low, indeed, would be public intelli- 
gence, if it were not so; and, ‘of :all 
curses that ever can befal a country, a 
treacherous press is the greatest, for 
against rapacity ard bad passions it is 
the only protection; but, if enlisted 
on their side, then the humiliation of 
virtue and truth is complete. Of all 
duties of good citizens, the first and 
most important is to support the in- 
dependent portion of the press; and to 
endeavour to give it the same ascend- 
ancy oyer time-serving sycophancy 
which virtue ought always to. enjoy 
over vice.

RUSSUAL. Son 
A Monthly Journal in English and 
French is about to be commenced by 
an Englishman at Moscow, under the 
sanction of the governor, Prince 
Gallitzin. It is the first attempt to

tention. Itsobjects are purely literary
