LATEST FROM EUROPE.

BY the packet ships Silvie de Grasse, from Ha-
vre, and Montreal from London, at New DIRK,
French papers to the 18th ult, and English pa
pers to the 9th, have been received.
ENGLAND.-T The Hague was the very first
place to which the Duke of Wellington des.
patched messenger after he was sworn into OIL
fee The purport of this communication to the
King Of Holland was, that it was not his inten-
ton to depart from the course OF foreign poncy
adopted by the late government Despatches
10 the same effect were next sent of in success
sion to Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Frankfort, Vienna,
and Constantnople.
Ii is evident that the remonstrances 10 the
Crown. which continue to flow from the public
meetings, that no Ministry can obtain the "a
iional confidence who is not determined TO ful-
fill to the utmost, the expectations to when Inc
Reform Bill and the promises OF their predeces-
sors had taught them to expect.
The King, in his reply to an address from the
City (London) Corporation gave the following
answer
.'It has been and ever will be the object of my
earnest solicitude to correct abuses, and to inn
prove the condition of the country. | trust the
ministers may appoint will, by the successful
prosecution of this, the first wish OF my heart,
Justify nv confidence and obtain that OF my peo-
pie"
This is considered by many as an assurance
that the new Ministry will not be formed 10 pre-
vent those reforms which its predecessors were
nreparino or pare them down TO such dimensions
as may accord with the principles OF the Torres
or Conservatives.
According to the London Courier of tie Sth,
il was announced that Sir Robert Peel slept the
previous night at Canterbury, and that he would
probably arrive on the following day.
The Liverpool Courier of the Sc quotes
speech Of Sir Robert delivered in 1888, IN which
"A, ia, 10 c tn
derate reform; and seems TO hold out the idea
that he will conform his future policy to the dis
position Of the people.
The meeting held at Westminster, which was
addressed by Sir J. Hume and other friends Of
Reform, created Il great impie ssion.
FRANCE.-On the sth December, the Cham
Der Of Peers assembled, when none Of the Mi
nisters, and not more than eighty Peers were pre-
sent. Baron Pasquier took the chair. In the
Chamber of Deputies, the American claims
formed no part of their discussions. We ex-
tract the following
Sir Robeet Peel arrived at the Hotel Bristol,
Place Vendome, at eleven O'Clock on Saturday
night the 9th December. Sir Robert left Rome
on the 9th ult. at two in the afternoon. At ele-
ven o'clock left Paris for Calais. Courier,
who was despatched from England subsequent
ly to MIR. Hudson, having missed Sir r. Peel,
returned on Saturday night about IL O'Clock to
Paris.
The debate of Friday was extremely inter-
eSting. M. Theirs and Nj. GuiZot were the only
Members who spoke, but it would appear that
their arguments lost much of their usual weight
with the Chamber, Tor the speeches delivered on
the other side by Nj. NJ Dupin Etienne, Pasay,
Teste and Charles Dupin were hailed by cheers
so loud as to strike Ministers with evident APP
for the result.
The Speakers on Saturday, were up to the
hour of Post, M. NJ. Lepelletier, Dauney, Ma
theu and SauZet all of whom attacked Minis
tiers with effect 1t was not deemed likely that
the debate would conclude on Saturday, nor had
any obvious indication ofits result been elected.
The best opinions our correspondent could
collect on the subject were however, thatth inn
mediate vote would be favorable TO Ministers,
but that il would be carried by a majority so
feeble as TO demonstrate to the King the impos
sibility ofproceeding in line which will have
been all but formally condemned by the Repre-
sentative Chamber.
Lord Brougham had arrived in Paris, and
from the malicious statement Of the Tory Jour
nails we are disposed to believe that his recep-
ton was highly fattering. When asked his
opinion of the duration of the Tory Ministry, he
stated that ut was impossible for the Duke of
Wellington to face both Houses of Parliamt mt"
short time after his arrival Lord b. attended d
ence. and when handed the book for his address
he wrote "Brougham, Barrister et Homme de
LptterS"
Prince Taleyrand arrived at Paris on Friday
and had long audience with the King He will
not resume his place as Ambassador in the Bri-
fish Court. Count Flahaut, the Duo Broglie,
and NJ. Auliere, are spoken of to succeed him.
A meeting of Deputies took place on Tuesday
evening which was attended by 100 newly elect
ed members They decided to remain upon the
and, as it were in observation.
Lord Brougham was present in the Chambers
at the debate, Dec. 5. Much curiosity was man
Tested by all ranks, and of both sexes, to be pre-
sent during the debate, and a strong body of
Guards were present to prevent the
recurrence of riots.
