La Cause Perdue. —We have received a number in

to place before the people of Continental Europe, a view
of the late revolution as it appeared to one of the partu s
in the struggle. This work, if we may take the opinion
of a French critic before us, is well done, and it seems to
us very clearly and accurately rendered. It comes to us
from the press of (lie Renaissance Louidanaise.
