REVUE AMERICAINE.

M. Le Vasseur, who accompanied Gen. LaFayette in his American tour, has written a letter to a friend in Virginia, in which he says—

"The desire to make our countrymen acquainted with what is beautiful, simple, and admirable, in the institutions of the U. States, has suggested an idea, which appears a happy one, and will obtain, I sincerely hope, your approbation. It is the publication of a monthly Journal, the Revue Americaine, a periodical paper of from eight to ten sheets of letter press; whose special purpose is to demonstrate by facts, the immense advantages of the system introduced in your country, and to make the Europeans more exactly acquainted with the happy results, which such wise institutions have procured to the United States. It will be our endeavor to take advantage of all the discoveries in the sciences, manufactures, and agriculture, which enrich the two Americas; we intend also to follow them in the progressive increase of their literature. The stockholders in this useful undertaking are gentlemen very well known and highly respectable. The editorship is to be confined to a young gentleman, who is my friend, and was my companion in arms, whose talents, sentiments, and perfect integrity, are sure guarantees of the excellence of his work."
