LATEST FROM EUROPE.

l have received Liverpool papers to Feb. 24th, and Londcn to the 23d inclusive, containing Paris dates, by express, to the 21st. Our pa pers, with the private letter-bag of the own CTS, came to hand at o'clock last evening.
 Nothing else was up from the ship till after midnight. It will be seen from the extracts subjoined, that great excesses have been com mtted in Paris. A letter from London dated Feb, 22d says,-
 "The continued agitations in Paris, the state of Belgium and Poland, and instructions | in Italy, have confirmed the impressions here, that war between France and some one, or perhaps all ofthe three great Northern Pow CTS, is inevitable. Our own and all Gnntinen- tai st cks have fallen in consequence" Changes are spoken of as about to take place in the Fench Ministry. It is said that M. Odillcn Barrt will succeed M. Monta- lhet, and that M. Real will replace M. Baude, with other additit ns fr m what is called the MouUement, or liberal party.
 Ihe Cotton Duty.-lt appears from the ac- counts received by the York, that the cott' n duty s originally proposed, was Id. per ID. cn all sorts. The proposition produced great dissatisfaction at Liverpool and Manchester, and deputatirns were immediately sent to Londcn, who discussed the matter with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The result was stated in Parliament on the 21st. The Chancellor said,-
 Ills plan was this:-he proposed to substi- tute fer the present 6 per cent ad valorem du ty en printed calicoes, a duty of tf Id per pound on all imports of raw cotton, without any drawback export duty-exceptng, of course, from the operation of the tax, the cot ton of cur East Indian and other possessions. He meant also, for reasons which he would state on another occasion, to allow the draw back duty to operate for three months.
 Sir K. Peel was understood to ask the mo- bic lord how he meant to make good the loss to the revenue from his proposed reduction of duty on printed calcoes?
 The Chancellor of the exchequer said, that the amount of the East India duty was so trtling, as to be almost beneath consideration. The amount of the other duty would net make up the loss in question; but the amount of that duty, together with that of the duty on printed calicocs, would make it up.
 From the Manchester Herald
 IHe Cotton Idr.-We do not remember ever to have witnessed so strong sensation as was produced among the mercantile classes of this town, by the announcement of Lord Al thbrp's intention to lay an additional import duty of Id per lb upon cotton wool.
 II will be seen by reference to another part of our paper, that the Chamber of Com mcrce have resolved to use every exertion to induce the minister to abandon this impolitiC tax; and for this purpose deputation, con sistng of the boroughreeve and some of our leading merchants will proceed immediately to Lcndon
 LoNDcn, Feb. 21, (evenng) There has been much gloom in the city to-day, and the slight hope which prevailed early in last week, that it was still possible the peace of Europe might be preserved, is fast dlsappearing.- All are now looking to Paris, as the scene of more immediate danger, with the most anx- ious interest; and, should the present struggle end in the subveision of the French Ministry, there is scarcely merchant to be met with cn the Exchange who is not ready to confess his fears of the worst consequences This event is, indeed, held to be so probable, that they begin already to discuss the que estion how far war in Europe, commenced by French aggression or interference with ether powers, ought to involve this country.

 PARIs.-The King, accompanied by the Princes his sons. by Marshal Gerard, General Pajol, and several officers, went at half-past nine o'clock this morning to the Place de Ca rcusel to review twelve battalions of the Ma D detachments of the Line, several detach- ments of the Cavalry of the National Guard and of the garrison.
 The K.ng delivered the following Address to the troops which had defled before him:-
 "My dear Comrades-always faithful to France, always devoted to my country, it is for her-it is alone for her interest-that 1 have accepted the Throne to which l have. coll lpI t, Ina ff he | shall guard loyally this honorable trust, to de- f,nd it aganst all cur enemies, whoever they may be; to maintain cur institutious, cur laws, cur liberties; to sustain the nationality winch my French heart has suffered so much to be- hold so frequently forgotten in these late years. 1 shall defend it, no matter who they may be, who should dare to insult cur glcri- GUS national culors. by attempting to oppose to them openly the white flag, or whether ob scure attempts be made in the dark to re- hoist it, such as that which has now excited the just indignation of the public.
 "Those who have made themselves liable to punishment are delivered over to the hands ef justice, and they will be punished in pur- suancc of the rigUr of the laws; but when that indignation ceases, the manifestation of which, by disorders, and shameful de- vastatltn, of which yesterday has given such d sad spectacle to France and to Europe, do not forget that neither liberty nor government is possible where public order isnot constant ly maintained.
 "Let us put an end to these agitations-let us deprive our enemies of every pretext ,n der which they dare to screen themselves, in order that they may achieve their ojects, to the detriment of France and of our natona! cause.
