LATEST FROM EUROPE.

The packet ship Britannia, at New York, sailed
from Liverpool on the 18th Sept. Our correspon-
dents of the Courier, Commercial Advertiser and
American, have TRANSPORTED extra sheets, from
which we make the following extracts:
LONDON, Sept. ls.-1t is generally looked on in
the city that the Lord Chanceor's speech last night
is very pacific, and in coEIoboraton of which, the
private information from a high quarter at Plris
which has seldom failed giving the best and prior
intelligence, states that the deliberations OF the
Great Powers will be for the dsbanding of their ar
mics, and each power is to dsband a certain num-
Der OF men every month. In regard to Poland,
negotiations are in an advanced stale, and expected
TO end favorably. We also understand, that the
Duke of Orleans, after having received dispatches
from his father, the King ofthe French, has propo-
sed to King Leopold his sister in marriage.
The following extract from the speech of the
Lord Chancellor in the House of Peers the 18th
Sept. is strongly indicative ofthe pacific intentions
of the present Ministry.
But far worse the complaint he had to make
Of these speeches of the Noble Marquis marquis
of Londonderry) He and some Of those he acted
with were constantly using topics of irritation to
wards France, and doing all they could plunge us
into war; it seemed their whole object and ruling
desire. Was member to be selected for attack
a point of onset TO be chosen? Friendly DISPOSE
ton to France the chosen theme of abuse
Was u charge to nc pointed, and rendered more IA
tai than all the rest7 The disposition to conciliate
our great and powerful neighbor always the
burden of the accusation. Now in this country il
ParaIacnt and people, and the weight Of the No
Ole Lords authority were better known. But the
prophet having more honor out Of his ovn country
his language was in France believed to be of far
more serious import. Men noble person o.
high rank and connection, freCueDtl; advising the
House, and always 10 the same point of invecLive
irritation and hostility.
The Noble Lord, TOO, leader Of the Opposi-
ton party in that house. and it thought he
spoke tho sentiments Of his followers. He, the
cniff
.Gcas Of base trucking submission TO france or
to any FOREIGN Power. But he saw no jrit o
aggrcssion>,!cre: he was reicced to spirit Of
peace and friendship prevail, and he deemed it his
most sacred duty TO meet IL in the cordial feeling
Of mutual good will. Jra-c and England friends

France be ircitutCd into wgr,ikc courses, and the
whole human race is cursed with war. That il
would he popular in The House and in the country
10 break the peace, seemed the notion Of some No
bic Lords, but it was mono Of his. On tie coutrurv
nc believed the Minister who rushed hccdlcsey in
to war. W Id suddenly forfeit his popularity, as he
