LATEST FROM EUROPE.
 By the packet ship Silas Richards, Capt. Holdredge, we have received London papers to Jan. 25th, and Liverpool to the 26th, both inclusive. The Manifesto of the Polish Ma tion will attract universal attention. It is con- sidered by the London Times, as the most important exposure of national grievances, which has been to the world since the cele- brated declaration of independence by the United States of North America
 The editors add, "The wrongs of the Poles are infinitely greater than those of our for mer American colonists: their resolution to rsaFsS the @ p that hhs thaksn a S Tth De sSgSa cd wltb the same heroic perseverance, and terminate in the same glorious result.'
 1KE NORTH EASTERN BoUNDARY.-We hay letter from very intelligent source, Thich we shall publish tomorrow, giving I general outline of the decision of the King of the Netherlands, on the subject of our North Eastern Boundary. The result will be far more satisfactory to the Americans than to the British. We lose a small section of ter rtory at the extreme Northern point of what we have heretofore claimed in the state of Maine, and gain that (to us) very important position at the head of Lake Champlaiil, call ed Rouse's Point on which the United States,
 
 Notifications, but afterwards abandoned them cn its being discovered, as was supposed, that the position fell within the Canada territory. LONDON, Jan. 25.-It would now be silly to assert that the cause of reform is merely ''makihg progress" through this country.- The country from end to end, is already occu- pied and engrossed by that great question, and the mind 1.-the whole community is made up upon it, as if the people of England were but an individual man. Bristol and Norwich must be added to the other important cities and towns which have declared their senti- ments in favor of an immediate purifcation of that body, which is not constituted so as to represent with truth the opinions, the intelli- gence, or feelings of the nation, and which therefore cannot be expected, as indeed it has not been found to consult their interests with the requisite integrity or wisdom.
 Entire confidence may, we apprehend, be reposed in the sincerity with which the pre- sent Ministers have undertaken to realize the public anxiety for reform.
 What are the details of the measure to be proposed by Ministers, we do not undertake to specify. Universal suffrage, however, will undoubtedly have no share in it. Ballot, it is said, will not form part of the plan as intro- duced to Parliament, although it would be af- fectaton to deny that the feeling in favor of that important novelty gains ground among most classes of our countrymen, and that if not checked by further inquiry into its merits, the result may be its adoption, ere long into the frame of our Parliamentary constitution.

 IRELAND.-"The' 'untoward event of yes- terday-the arrest of Mir O'Connell and the other gentlemen,-occasione a sensation throughout Dublin, seldom exceeded, even in the most memorable days of unhappy Ire land. The news reached the most distant of the environs of the city with unusual despatch, in Kingstown it was a subject of universal amazement and alarm in less than three quar- ters ofan hour after the arrival of MT O Con- mel, at the head Police office. About 3 o'clock the neighborhood of Dame street, the Police | and Post-offices became densely thronged, and numerous groups of persons were seen collected in the street earnestly discussing the | circumstances attending this new ndignity to the honored representative of the Irish peo- pie. Opposite the Head Police office con- siderable crowd continued collected until | late hour in the evening. Almost every shop door from the Castle to the College had an assemblage of respectable persons engaged l on the all-engrossing subjects of the arrests, while the several gentlemen known to be con- necttd with the public press were frequently interrupted in their way through the streets, and surrounded by anxious inquirers, impa- tient to be informed of the most minute cir cumstances relative to the extraordinary oc- currences of the day. Innumerable inherent publishers were busly and proftably engag- ed in every street, supplying the demand for their "whole, full and true accounts of the Liberator's arrest;" and the manifestation of public anxiety only subsided with the ap- proach of midnight, notwithstanding which, there was not the slightest attempt at breach of the public peace or infraction of the law, and the police offices were not tenanted by more than the ordinary number of prisoners.
 SWITZERLAND.
 This country continues in disturbed state, particularly in the vicinity of Basic. Letters of Jan. 10th state that the government of that city had acceeded to the first propositions of the peasantry for the more equal assessment the deputies of the country and of the city in the Grand Council. "Out of 154 members, of which that assembly is composed, the city reckoned formerly 90, and the country 64.-| The Grand Council have made the offer of79 to the country; the city will then count no more than 75. The peasantry were satisfied the first day with that concession, but reject ed it on the following day; they this day ex- act five sevenths of the representation, and that IS the question WHICH IS on the eve or De- ing decided by arms"
 BAsLE, Jah 15.-For the last fortnight we have been in a very critical position, and un- der sday and night. Nobody thinks about business; but the aspect which the town has assumed, places it out of danger. For seve- ral days past it has been able to act upon the offensive, by making daily sorties against the rebels. That which is to be made to-day with eight pieces of artillery. will, it is hop cd, bring about happy termination to this drama
