The December number, for January, 1853, will be the first of the forty-first volume of the Knickerbocker Magazine.
Since the price of subscription has been reduced from five to three dollars a year, the circulation of the Knickerbocker has been increased nearly four to one. In many places ten are sold where there was but one before, and through the year it has been steadily increasing. It is now offered as cheap as any of the Magazines, all things considered. Instead of making new and prodigious promises, we submit a few extracts from notices of late numbers, which we might extend to a number of pages.
Those familiar with the Editor's monthly "gossip" with his readers have, doubtless, with ourselves, admired the taste and judgment displayed in the selection of articles that adorn its pages. It is a sufficient guarantee that no contribution is admitted to its pages that is not in every way worthy of his perusal. When storms and wild tempests are abroad, and the "stormy spirit of the storm" is out, and all is drear and desolate without, ask for no more agreeable companion than the KNICKERBOCKER. Its contents impart valuable information, its sallies of genuine wit are a sovereign specific for all the "ills that flesh is heir to," and it never fails to drive away the "blue devils" of the horrors, and time passes merrily on.—[Courier, Burlington, Vermont.]

'The December number of the Knickerbocker is a capital one. It contains a very interesting article on "The Creole Minister of Foreign Affairs," which gives a graphic account of the mission of the late Mr. Walsh to the Court of the Emperor of Hayti. Mr. Walsh was sent by the United States Government to negotiate a treaty of peace between the Emperor and the Government of St. Domingo. He had several interviews with the Creole Minister of Foreign Affairs, but failed to accomplish the object of the mission. Neither persuasion nor argument could induce the Emperor to make a definite treaty of peace, or a truce of ten years, with the Government of St. Domingo, which he regarded as a rebel whose subjection was necessary to the maintenance of his own authority. He argued that nature had designed the whole island to be under one Government, that the constitution of Hayti so declared it, and that he was bound to maintain the integrity of his empire. The article is well written, and contains much interesting information.'
'The Knickerbocker has been and will be a fact of its own: it is a sort of "institution." We never yet took up a new number of its pages, filled with articles not printed from English authors, but we felt a sort of "home-feeling" in its company and welcome.'—New York Christian Inquirer.
'The Fudge Papers, by Ik. Marvel, author of the "Reveries of a Bachelor," "Dream Life," &c., the "Sequel to St. Leger, or the Threads of Life," by Richard B. Kimball, Esq., and "Meister Karl's Sketch Book," by Charles G. Leland, Esq., will be continued, uninterrupted, unless by the absence or illness of the authors.'—[Courier, Natchez, Miss.]
Rev. F. W. Shelton, author of 'Letters from Up the River,' &c., will be a regular contributor.
Fitz-Greene Halleck has engaged to furnish poetical contributions from time to time.
The present number, which will be found to be one of the best ever issued, is for sale by all the Booksellers. Price three dollars per year, or twenty-five cents per number.

Neither per
suasion nor argument could induce the Emperor to
I make a definite treaty of peace, or a truce of ten
i years, with the Government of St. Domingo, which
he regarded as a rebel whose subjection was necessary
to the maintenance of his own authority. He argued
that nature had designed the whole island to be
under one Government, that the constitution of 1813 i
proclaimed it one and indivisible, and that the Do- i
minicans, having voluntarily annexed themselves, i
had no right to secede. After consultation with his
Senate, SOULOUQUE peremptorily declined both pro- i
positions, but subsequently, through his Minister of
Foreign Affairs, volunteered a positive assurance
that notwithstanding the refusal of the Govern
ment to make peace with the Dominicans, hostilities
against them would not be renewed.”

So the affair ended. The course pursued by Mr.
Fillmore’s administration in relation to it appears
to us to have been
honorable throughout.
