SWITZERLAND, In announcing the appearance of a NEW MAGAZINE, intended to be essentially different from any at present published, the Proprietors deem it necessary to state, briefly but explicitly, the object of their THE SOUTHERN PROVINCES OF FRANCE, undertaking. At a period when most of the Magazines are identified with opinions directly opposed to the true interests and manifest desire of the public, the want of another Monthly Periodical, adapted to the spirit of the times, is too obvious to require explanation. The field is evidently open for a Magazine conceived in rigid honesty of purpose, and executed with ability, energy, and good faith. In Politics it will always be the endeavour of the Proprietors to increase the sum of knowledge, virtue, and happiness among mankind, and to uphold the cause of reason and liberty in whatever guise it may claim their advocacy. At the same time, to prevent the possibility of misconception, it is proper to state, that they conceive it to be the duty of an honest journal rather judiciously to direct the enthusiasm of the people, than to pervert and inflame it. Should the day unhappily arrive when the numerical shall be opposed to the intellectual force of the country, the ENGLISHMAN will be found at his post, on the side of reason, constitutional liberty, and national honour. As a Critical Journal, the ENGLISHMAN'S MAGAZINE will found its claims to support upon firm and fearless integrity, seconded by the industry of enlightened and able men, whose co-operation has been secured. In the several departments of elegant literature, the Proprietors are enabled, by facilities peculiarly their own, and by a liberal scale of remuneration, to command an unfailing variety of instructive and entertaining contributions from English, Continental, and American sources; including, from time to time, the wild fictions and romantic chronicles of Scandinavian and German growth, many of which well deserve to be naturalized on English ground. The Fine Arts will receive especial attention; and in connexion with this department of the work, will be introduced a series of effective engravings, illustrative of the scenery, architecture, costumes, and pastimes of Italy. Finally, while always mindful that amusement and information are the main business of a popular Magazine, the more serious object of this undertaking will be to expose arrogance aud dishonesty; to protect and encourage genius: to elevate the political and literary character of our country; and to diffuse, on every important subject, those sound and enlightened views, which are the only enduring foundation of Constitutional liberty.

THE ELGIN COURIER, AND PROVINCE OF MORAY ADVERTISER, THE ELGIN COURIER commenced on the 13th of July, 1827, since which time it has been received with a regularly increasing measure of public favour. Making due allowance for the disproportion which exists in the extent of the popula tion of Elgin, and that of any other provincial town in the country in which a Newspaper is published,-the Proprietor affirms, with the utmost confidence in the truth of the statement, that the success of the Elgin Courier, since its commencement, has not been surpassed by that of any other Journal in Great Britain. The leading features of the Elgin Courier are, the independence of its principles on every subject it discusses-the space it devotes to markets and agricultural subjects-its attention to subjects connected with the localities of the town and county of Elgin-the quantity of original discussion it contains, which is, perhaps, more than is contained in any other Provincial Journal in the country-the copiousness and impartiality of its extracts from the more respectable London and other Journals-and the space it devotes to reviews of new publications. "The following remarks are from the Elgin Courier of Friday last, a very ably conducted Journal, whose principles are of the liberal kind," &c.-Dumfries Journal. "The present volume (Mrs Richardson's Poems) has already been noticed in very flattering terms by a writer of character, talent, and attainment-the respectable Editor of the Elgin Courier.”—Dumfries Courier. "We copy the following paragraph from the Elgin Courier of the 15th ult., a Journal conducted with great spirit and ability, without being the slave of any political faction. It contains many valuable original articles, particularly on subjects connected with the North of Scotland."-Imperial Magazine. "It would appear from the following article, which we copy from an original and well-conducted Northern Paper, the Elgin Courier," &c.-Morning Advertiser. "Burns's Farewell to Highland Mary,' now going the round of the Journals, and quoted as from an Edinburgh Periodical, originally appeared in the Elgin Courier, a talented Scotch Paper."-Belfast News Letter, Dec. 3, 1829. "The following observations from the Elgin Courier, a talented Paper of decidedly liberal principles, are particularly deserving of attention at the present moment."-Belfast News Letter, January 6, 1830. The Elgin Courier, one of the ablest and most respectable Pro vincial Journals in Scotland, has a long article of more than a column on the subject, which we would have copied entire had our limits permitted."-Belfast News Letter, January 6, 1830.

It is the opinion of the learned in these matters, that popular feeling will identify Alfred with King William, and thus give the play additional effect. Judging from the play itself, it needs no extraneous aid.--Drury has had a successful season. There was, indeed, no great competition-Miss Inverarity being almost the sole attraction over the way. It is confidently stated that Kean is engaged to perform for a limited number of nights at the new theatre in the city-A French play has been brought In 8vo, price 12s. in boards, ARY, in the ancient Euchorial Character: containing all the Words of which the sense has been ascertained. By THOMAS YOUNG, M.D., F.R.S., &c. out at the Haymarket, entitled, "Voltaire chez les Capucins." The RUDIMENTS of an EGYPTIAN DICTIONPhilosopher is incognito; the Gardien seeks to persuade the wealthy and talented stranger to take the cowl. He expatiates on the su blime elevation of the rules of the order, dismissing each with a "mais nous ne l'observons pas ;" Voltaire indulging the whole time in the most significant shrugs and twitches. The horror of the Capuchins when they discover that the infidel has been virtually made father confessor to the whole convent, is heightened by their astonishment, when, on seeking to immure him in a dungeon, they find that he is in correspondence with the Archbishop and the Pope. Bouffé enacted the philosopher with great point. He was particularly happy in his sarcastic echo of the word "hospitality," when he pointed to the dungeon in which the monks would have immured him; and in his reply to the last offer of Pére Paverase," I will take your place in the convent when you fill mine at the academy." There is an extremely pleasing little incident in the course of the piece; where the gardener, who has somehow or other smuggled his pretty wife into the convent, conceals her in a basket of flowers.-The report is, that Mrs Wood, though at first mentioned in the bills as to perform on the evening their Majesties were to have visited the King's Theatre, had her name subsequently struck out. This is extremely paltry. Without being suspected of being the advocates of vice, we may say, that the public have no more to do with the private delinquencies of an actor, than with those of an ex-minister, or any other public performer. It is only the eclat that is given to them that can render them dangerous. Contemptuous silence disarms the contagion, Above all the highest persons in the realm ought to be above poking and prying into such dirty matters.-Ducrow must be making a rich harvest in the city whose merchants are princesLiverpool-if we may judge by the length of his stay.-Pritchard has made a run across to Glasgow this week, to perform at Alex. ander's for the benefit of the Infirmary there. He is really the most indefatigable and friendly of actors. Of late, too, his performances, never deficient in energy, have been considerably freed from a certain harshness that used to be about them. His Fergus M'Ivor, Ghost of Hamlet's Father, and Stukely, have all been pieces of clever unexaggerated acting. He must pay attention, however, to the hints which 'our friend Alfred-whom we this day introduce to our readers-may from time to time give him, We take the opportunity, seeing that Alfred has, this week, confined himself exclusively to Young, to say, that Mackay's Gibbie in the Wonder, cannot be spoken of in terms of too high commen. dation; nor his Baron of Bradwardine too disparagingly.

A Concentration of the Matter of STANDARD ENGLISH AUTHORS, on a Plan entirely New; with Portraits, Biographical Sketches, &c. No. I. containing PALEY'S MORAL PHILOSOPHY, with a Portrait. The object of this undertaking is to publish in monthly volumes, in a concentrated form, a Series of STANDARD ENGLISH AUTHORS; of whose works the present generation know little, and the rising youth must know less. From the limits of an advertisement, it is impossible to state the precise nature of the plan intended to be adopted: suffice it to observe, that in history no facts, and in philosophy no reasoning, will be omitted or distorted, so as to render a reference to the original author requisite; and thus the youth, especially of both sexes, may become perfectly acquainted with authors repulsive from their bulk alone, at a comparatively little cost of time as well as price. "Were all books reduced to their quintessence, many a bulky author would make his appearance in a pamphlet; there would be scarce such a thing as a folio; and the works of an age would be contained on a few shelves."-ADDISON. The series will be confined to the popular productions of writers in prose, and the following authors will be first selected:HISTORICAL-BURNET, CLARENDON, GIBBON, HUME, RoBERTSON, &c. PHILOSOPHICAL-BACON, LOCKE, PALEY, &C. MISCELLANEOUS-ADDISON, GOLDSMITH, JOHNSON, MILTON, SWIFT, &c. No. II. will contain PALEY'S EVIDENCES of CHRISTIANITY; and LOCKE on the HUMAN UNDERSTANDING, with a portrait.

The strong and universal hold which such vivid exhibitions of life maintain on the curiosity of readers of every age and every class, is too well known to require comment; it is equally certain that he who reads them attentively may acquire, without the bitterness and the danger of experience, that knowledge of his fellow-creatures, which, but for such aid, could, in the majority of cases, only be attained at a time of life when it would be too late to turn it to ac count. It has been truly observed that well-wrought novels " take their rank by the side of reality, and are appealed to as evidence in all questions concerning man." It follows, therefore, that as manners change, and character (which often depends on manners) varies, "the mirror held up to nature" must change also; and that, valuable as the older fictions are, it is necessary to study also those which have succeeded them, and which enable us to contemplate with advantage that "which before us lies in daily life," and which has been designated by a great authority as " the prime wisdom."
