LATEST FROM EUROPE.

BosroN, May 25.-London papers to
the 10Th ut. and Liverpool to the Goth,
were received at the City Hall News
Room yesterday by the ship Morea, capt.
Eastcrbrook They furnish the follow
ing interesting intelligence
The accounts from Poland are very
cheering; further successes are said to
have crowned the eXcrtions of this brave
nation. The loss suffered by the Rus
sian army, i'll killed, wounded, and pris-
oners, since the 28th of February, is sta
ted at 5O,0J0, or nearly two thirds of the
force with which they took the field,
whilst that of the Poles during the same
period does not exceed 10000.
The desertions from the Russian army
are said to be numerous. Many of the
Russian soldiers, taken prisoners by the
Poles, enlist enthusiastically i'll the Polish
ranks.
The Prussian authorities have been us
ing every means in their power to prevent
the news ofthc success ofthc Poles from
being known in Prussia, but without eff
feet; and it must in no small degree add
to their modification to see the gladness
with which this news, as well as every
thing which is fav orablc to the Poles, has
been received by the Prussians.
1t was again asserted, on the authority
of a letter from Paris to the London Cou
rier, that Prince Leopold would be invi-
ted to occupy the throne of Belgium
That country, at the last accounts, con-
tinued the theatre ofanarchy and misrule.
The President of the Council and the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs had announ-
ced to the Chambers the probability of
the retreat of the Austrian troops from
tn. Pontilical state.
The latest papers are filled with de-
bates in Parliament upon the reform
question. The editor of the London
Times had been ordered to appear at the
bar of the House of Lords to answer for
an alleged contempt.
In the House of Lords on the night of
the 18th there was a good deal of desul-
tory discussion on the presentation Of pc
tiions for reform-Lord Calthorp & Lord
Eldon condemning the bill and the con-
stant discussions, while Earl Grey OBJ
served that, irregular as those discus
sons might be, he felt assured the more
the bill was investigated the greater
would be the peoples appreciation of 1t.
Parliamentary Reform--Lord John
Russell called up the Reform Bill, April
l8. The proposed alterations are, that
Aldborough, Buckingham, MaImsbury,
Oakhampton and Ryegate, are to send
one member each, instead of being dis
ranchised; Leominster, n. Allerton,
Morpeth, Tanworth, Tavistock, Calnc,
Truro and Westbury, are to continue to
have two members. To retain in the
counties an increased representation,
there is to be an additional member in
every county, having upwards of lOO,-
900 inhabitants in England and Wales;
those having over 100, 900, four members;
Glamoroanshire two members; towns p
bove 10 900 inhabitants to send one mem
Der each; Bury, Oldham, Rochdalc, Sal
ford, Stoke-upon-Trcnt, Wakefield Hal
flax and Whitby, one each, so that the
House will consist of G27 members, be-
ing only 81 members less than the pres
cnt number. There are also some alter
ations as to the right Of suffrage. Gen.
Gascoigne moved an amendment declar-
atory of the expediency ofpreservins the
present number of members. Lord AL
thorpe opposed the amendment, as meant
to cripple and damage the bill 50 as to
render it impossible to proceed with 1t,
but the House adjourned before taking
the question.
