TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The interesting communication of Professor Rafinesque, will be published in our next number. Of the articles which he has submitted to our choice, we would at present prefer receiving that "On the Ancient History of America."

The Tale of The Woodlands," and the continuation of the "Remarks on Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments," will appear in our next. We shall also endeavour to make room for the communication relative to the new translation of "The Henriade."

The article entitled "Voyages on Wings," is too long. Some parts of it are well written, and the whole displays much research and a thorough knowledge of the subject. As we are desirous to retain its author on the list of our correspondents, we could wish him to condense it, so as to bring it within the bounds of ten or twelve pages. This would not only render it more convenient for our work, but, we are persuaded, would be a great improvement to the piece itself. The manuscript shall be left any where in the city, that the author may direct.

The verses addressed" To the Novice of the Convent of THE VISITATION," shall be published; and perhaps we may also find room for the Dramatic sketch of "The Poor Student," in our ensuing number.

In our February number, a piece appeared on the same subject on which our fair correspondent of Owego has written, which is our only reason for declining to insert her effusion. We hope, however, as she manifests a talent for poetry, that she will keep us in view, and we doubt not, that we shall receive from her pen, what will reflect credit on our pages.

"The Spirit of the Fire," and "The Persian Exile's Lament," will appear without delay.

The wishes of Orion shall be acceded to. One, or perhaps both of his pieces, shall appear in the next number.

The communications of Cornelia arrived after the above notices were in type. They shall receive publicity as soon as we can afford them space.
