M'CONNELL, Cbesnut street, No. 143. Literary Imtelli^utc^. Two plans of a literary and na ture werr announced early last winter, and at they have not been accomplished it is -proper to explain the caufet of omiflion. When a writer promifet tp the ptiblic ke flgns a btnJ, and for no light caafe should violate bis flipulation. To acquit himfclf wholly of the charge of humorous ficklerefs •n the one hand, or of carelefTnefs ot obliga tion, on the other, the Sometime Editor of the Farmer'* Miifeum owe* it to himfelf to quote the following paflage from the Gaz ette of the United States of the 26th of last December and to follow up that quotation by (hewing, that he hat been always ready to fulfil hit contrafi. "It is underftond, if lie Wfqhbj and the tiife will support the Editor in en arduous undertakings that the Gazette of the United States will (hortly be published on an enlarg- Ed plan, with many improvements, in the political, and miscellaneous department ? It will be devoted to the support of whatfo evf r things are honefl, and of good report ; and; if the Editor and his aiTociatet faith* fully, ahd cmreflly difthvge their political and literary duties, the support of mm of wraith, min of influence and men of virtue will be deserved, though perhaps it mat not be received. The increase or decay of tie Subscription list at the commencement of the new year wll determine, whether the Ga zette tf the United States £fc. a paper auxi liary to found principles, By Olivkr Olb-School Efqr. IVill be undertaken,or relinquished. We are told that the sometime Editor of \he Farmer's Mufenm intends, if encouraged, t<- offtr to the public a small periodical pam phlet, as a companion, once a week to the- breakfaft tible. It is intended as a vehicle for thdriil, and arfiufing Essays, and elegant literature In general ; allusive to a part of ' its contents, it will be e»ll.-d The Lay Frea . eher'* Magazine. The profpe£ltus will be pu'.lilhed in the eourfe of the enfnin? month." The above notice having had fufficient time ta circulate, Mr. Fenno, at that time proprietor of the paper, found, on the arrival of the new year, that his subscripti on lift, had not increased. Hence, though a profpe&us was drafted, and materials jwere at hand, all plans of enlargement or "improvement were destroyed, and the Editor's engagement was vacated. He was neither benumbed by indolence, nor diverted by caprice, but delayed to ittrite, because few appeared to read. Of the projefted Magazine, the fate was rather more flattering Two literary mer chants of Boston did the Editor the honor to fend him their nime*, and tiaccompany their fubfeription with that, grateful impor funity so flattering to an author, that he would perievere, in what they were yleafed _to call" a laudable undertaking." tt is obvi ous that two fu'rfcribers would not flipport .even a small pamphlet. Heucc, this fchcme was also relinquished. But the spirit of literary adventure is not cafily quenched, and to the pursuit of' his plans almost every proje&or, whether fangu jne, or cautious, is generally constant. Though neither a Gazette enlarged wor a Magazine intended have-(ecu the light, yet the schemer of a politico literary mifcelliny has been silently purluing, and perfeveringly foftered. In a few days, Mr. Asbury Dickens, bookfellcr of this city, will publish a Prospectus of a nesv weekly Paper, to be conducted on an ex-cnlive and liberal plain ctSihbintng, irt the man ner of the Tatlcr, Politics, with Ef. fays Jtnd disquisitions on topics fcirntific .moral, buthorous anil literary.
