Galtaglter This paper will be conducted nearly upon the plan of the Philadelphia Alfcum," and the New-York Mirror,' and vrill be similar in character and appearance, to those excellent periodicals. In relation to Engravings, however, i may be well enough to remark that publisher deems but lightly of tinsel and butteriiy-wing ornaments. He intends therefore, to devote the funds Bsually employed in the production of them, to procuring, 'y premiums and otherwise, good original Talcs and es says on various subjects, br.t more par tieularly illustrative of western scenery, and western manners, his object feeing to improve thcioilcrdandinj, rather than to delighl the eye. In short, no 1ains will be spared to render the pu!ication pleasing and instructive, and every way worthy the patrocage of the reading community. The Editor is promised the asfence of several writers cf ability.' vhose occasional pjod'utiors in the newspaper?, and in the 44 Western 5;; Tenir," have been greatly admired and rery generally republished thrcuc-joui the Union. Moreover, it is the intention of the publisher, should he mcet with sufficient encouragement, to secure the literary services of a lady, who deservedly ranks high as a chate and beautiful writer. Ve will close by remarking, that should the Ladies, to whose amusement and instruction ur labors will be especially directed, smile upon this our undertaking, we fbel assured the result will be successTERMS.

" Every exertion w ill be used to retain the favorable impression which has been obtained lor tne work at home and abroad ; and the publishers have entire contidence in being able to realize the expectations of their friends in this particular. In the short space of one year, the publishers have, by unremitted exertions, procured for the LADY'S B JO v, an euliable station among the Literary puoications of this country. This lias not been accomplished without very considerable expence the fact is, upwards of FOUR THOUSAND DOiXaKS have been expended in EMBELLISH M E N T S alone whicu comprise no less than SIXTY BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVINGS, ON VARIOUS SUBJECTS, AND SOME OF THEM OF A SCPERiOR AND COSTLY STYLE. - In addition to these, there may also be included two appropriate engraved title pages, with indexes to accompany the volumes, and fifteen pieces of Music, of the most approved kinds which with more than six hundred and seventy-two large and closely, printed pages of Letter press, together comprises two volumes of the I adv's Book, one of the cheapest publications in the United State? being iurmbhed to subscribers monthly, at the moderate price of 3 per annum.

FOREIGN NEWS.

latest from Europe. The ship Hellespont, at Boston brings Liverpool papers to the Cth ani London to the 5th September, The annexed exlracts are from the Daily Advertiser. The Russian armies appear to be advancing upon Warsaw without any effectual opposition, and there was a report that the city had surrendered. The only important information from that quarter will be found in the annexed extracts. The atlairs of Belgium appeared to be on the point of adjustment, and the French troops were about to be withdrawn. The report of the breaking otit of the cholera at V lenna was unfounded. This disease was abating at Pesth. The state of health in St. Petersburgh continued to improve. The Reform Bill was still under dis cussion in Committee of the House of Commons. Lord Althiope expressed! a hope that the committee would get ! through their labors on the bill before the coronation. The harvest in every part of England had been unusually productive, and the weather for gathering it favorable. . j The extensive preparations making for the Coronation, appeared to occupy much of the public attention. j The discussion respecting the peer age continued in the French Chambers with much warmth. The French army, according to the return of the Minister of Finance, contains 402,000 men, of whom the active army embraces 305,107 men, the gendarmerie, 10,107, veterans, &c. 13,913, general staff, 4,020. The number of muskets which had been deliv ered to the National Guard was 8G0-, 151, sabres 21t,X)0: and pieces artil lery 500. The Ministerial party had succeeded in electing M. Charles Dupin Deputy for the 10th arondissement of Paris. ' . LONDON, September 5. We received last night French papers dated Friday, and Dutch, Belgian,' and Prussian papers, to the date of yesterday. I he whole of their interests centers in the notices which they contain respecting Poland, the actualsit uationnnd future prospects of which have now acquired additional importance, as it is manifest that almo6t every passing hour is a stride to the gaol of its fate, whatever that may be. As to the critical and almost desperate condition of the general affairs of the brave, but unassisted, and apparently doomed, patriots, the total failureol their enorts to revoiunonize L.imania, the abortive issue of the tempt more recently made by General Kazyski to rouse the peasants anu orirar.ize the militia in the neighborhood of Cracow, and the imminency of the peril which besets the capital, now that four hostile armies, unopposed, are radiating upon it from different omts, these lournals generally concur n their admission and accounts. 1 ne Messager des Chambres of Friday states that the Russions were, by the ast accounts, within three leagues of Warsaw, and that a crisis was inevitale. Th Russian papers contains reports addressed by the Imperial Geneals to their master, which gave to the

transactions of the war the most gloo- here, said to have been received by exmy aspect; their march is every where press from Berlin, that Warsaw has surdescribed as an uninterrupted triumph, rendered to the Russians

and in some places their presence is said to have been hailed with satistaction by the country people, who are worn-out with the fatigues and exac-

tions of the stnle. 1 hese representa- many persons were lost, it will be pertions are, of course, greatly exaggera- ceived from the extract we take from ted; but the fact of the still gaining a Iondon paper, ti38 prompted the Eng-

advance ot the Kussian army gives

them but too colourable a plausibili- prevent the recurrence of such accity. dents. It certainly presents a subject

Ihe main body ot the enemy, which is nearer to Warsaw, unacr rask - e witsch is stated in the Russian accounts to be about equal to that of the Poles, being 50,000 on cither side; but the 1 former nas in us iavor an me excuemeni arising from recent success in a number of small actions, and, besides, the sustaining prospects of approaching aid from the othet columns which! are coming to join it. ' The last hopes of Poland are intrusted to the compact bodv under the Commander-in-Chief, the fortifications in Praga, the barricades of tht it rt. and the uncongue-

1 rable spirit of 100,000 inhabitants, stifl determined, by all accounts, to die in defence of their liberties. We find the report which we noticed ori Saturday of an armistice having been concluded between the Russians and Poles, reasserted with increased confidence at home, nnd re-echoed in some of the French paper. The Jour nal du Commerce states the fact upon the authority cf a communication from Frankfort, nd in the subjoined ex

tracts from the Dutch papers will b found another report, from the same quarter, of the surrenderor Warsaw to the Russians. We are not told however, whether they entered as enemies or friends, but from the use of the word "surrender," as applied to the? l oles, we take for granted that the ad mission of the Russians . within theif walls was the consequence of 6ome ne gotiation. The war certainly had nofc ceased in the South, for a battle wa expected to take place upon the 19tb between Rudiger and Razyski, near Cracow. The Polish Government has mad an affecting appeal to all Europe a-v gainst the shameful partiality, it not actual partizanship, which Prussia l.a shown towards their gigantic enemjf throughout the war for their indepen dence. By factitious sanatory arrange ments, and Custom-house vexations, supplies of arms whicn would have been most useful to them were stopped whilst, on the other hand, direct coun tenance and asssistance were given to -the Russian armies. They complaift bitterly of this interference, as calcu lated to rob them of all the fruits which they had a right to expect, after shed ding so much of their blood in the une qual contest. 1 he manitest is coucned in terms of despondency. The news from Belgium is satisfac tory. 1 he Belgian? naye accepted the armistice, and there is a better pros pect of arranging their differences with theDutihbynego iation. Itisthoughl that both parties will be ie juired to assume less hostile attitudes t wares ich other in the neighborhood of Antwerp and that the king of Holland will ba expected to reduce his army. MorningHerald. The Nuremburg correspondent givea the following,under date of Berlin Aug, 8. ; "The following is the information, we have been able to collect as to the negotiations said to be going on between the Russians and the Poles: Paske' witsch requires that Warsaw shall 6ur render at discretion. He engages hi honor to obtain from the magnanimity a grant of every just demand. A gen eral amnesty is to be published. AIthough many peopis ai arsaw nr

at-(inclined to accept these conditions, no

man has been found of sufficient courage to aeciare uie.r avcepiance in in .name of the whole nation, for evenf one fears the fate of General Gielgud, the popular party being in the higheai state ot excitement. 1 he greater Dart have declared the resolution to die rather than suomii 10 slavery, or a lengthened capuvuy in jvussia or oioeria. The majority of the iNaaonal Govern ment entertains the same sentiments t therefore we must expect shortly a sanguinary and tfeti ive battle under tho walls of Warsaw." FRANKFORT, August U.
