THE NEWS From EUROPE.

A portion, at least, of the news from Europe
brought by the Duchess d'Orleans, and published
in other columns Of this paper, cannot be wholly
relied upon. For instance, the telegraphic report
from Prussia in regard to the Imprisonment of the
King, &c. is entirely inconsistent with our former
accounts. Our latest reliable dates from Berlin are
to the 23d March, representing the Capital as in a
state of complete tranquility; and the UniUersal
Gazette of Berlin, of the 23d, mentions several
new acts Of the King totally inconsistent with the
idea Of any new difficulty. A telegraphc despatch
from Metz, of the date of the 24th could not have
furnished any thing later.
