ADVERTISEMENT.
The April number of the INTERNATIONAL MONTHLY
MAGAZINE completes the fifth volume, and the series. The Publishers
respectfully announce to its readers and the public, that from the issue
of the present Volume, the Magazine will be blended with Harpers'
Monthly Magazine, and, therefore, suspended as a distinct publication.
To the numerous subscribers to THE INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE,
the Publishers beg to say, that each one will be served with HARPER'S
MAGAZINE to the end of his term; or, if preferred, furnished with any
other Magazine to the amount of his unexpired subscription.
The Publishers cannot take leave of the friends of the work, without

expressing in terms of thankfulness their sense of the extensive and
cordial support it has received during the period of its publication. They
are happy to know that its good qualities will be perpetuated in the
prosperous, admirable, and widely circulated periodical with which it
will hereafter be united.
