M. THIERS, ALEXANDRE DUMAS, VICTOR HUGO, several newspaper editors, and other literary men of France, are now at Brussels. Thiers is said to be working hard at his _History of the Consulate and of the Empire_, and Hugo is represented to entertain the intention of again seriously returning to literary pursuits, in which, one would think, he must find more pleasure, as well as more fame and profit, than in the stormy arena of politics. Dumas, who works like a cart-horse, and who, as ever, is in want of money, has, in addition to his numerous pending engagements at Paris, undertaken to revise, for a Belgian publishing firm, the _Memoirs of his Life_, now in course of publication in the Paris _Presse_; and he is to add to them all the passages suppressed by Louis Bonaparte’s censors. Another new work is announced by Dumas, called _Byron_, in which we are promised the biography, love adventures, journeys, and anecdotic history of the great poet. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ M. DE LAMARTINE has resigned the editorship, or, as he called it, the directorship, of the daily newspaper on which he was engaged at a large salary, and in which he published his opinions on political events. He has also put an end to his monthly literary periodical, called _Les Foyers du Peuple_; no great loss, by the way, seeing that it was only a jumble of quotations from his unpublished works, placed together without rhyme or reason; and, finally, he has dropped the bi-monthly magazine, in which he figured as the _Counsellor of the People_. But he promises, notwithstanding the sickness under which he is laboring, to bring out a serious literary periodical, as soon as the laws on the press shall be promulgated. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Among the novelties that are forthcoming, there is one which promises to be very important, called _Lord Palmerston—L’Angleterre et le Continent_, by Count FICQUELMONT, formerly Austrian Ambassador at Constantinople and St. Petersburg, where he had occasion to experience something of Lord PALMERSTON’S diplomacy. It is, we are told, a vigorous attack on English policy. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ _La Vérité_, a pamphlet containing the true history of the _coup d’état_, is announced in London, with the production of authentic documents which could not get printed in France. This _coup d’état_ has set all servile pens at work. MAYER announces a _Histoire du 2 Decembre_; CESENA, a _Histoire d’un Coup d’État_; and ROMIEU, the famous trumpeter of the Cæsars—Romieu, who in his _Spectre Rouge_ exclaimed, “I shall not regret having lived in these wretched times if I can only see a good castigation inflicted on _the mob_, that stupid and corrupt beast which I have always held in horror.” Romieu has had his prediction fulfilled, and he, too, announces a History of the event. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐
