Latest from Eur ope... By the fast sailing ship Minerva, Cap tain Ilussey, who sailed from Liverpool on the 24th October, arrived at New-York, we have London and Liverpool dates both of the 23d inclusive. Parliament was to assemble on the 2Gth October, and the King, it was understood, would deliver his speech in person, on the 2d of November. The London Morning Her ald of the 15th, contains the fol lowing copy of a handbill, circu lated in Brighton and London in large numbers during the night: "EnglishmenThe time is fast approaching when you will be called upon to exert yourselves in tl;e cause of liberty. A standard is about to be reared, around which, we feel assu red, thousands will flock. -Our country is overrun with mili tary, police, excise officers, &c. &e. These must and shall be done away with. Our blood will (low, but it will flow in the cause of liberty; better to die in t lint cause than live slaves. En glishmen, be united, firm and steady. A REPUBLICAN." A private letter from Lond on, received at Cork, says "A report is current in the city, and seems to have some foun dation, that some houses in Birmingham have entered into a contract for the supply of 300,000 muskets to the French Government. It is supposed also that the quantity ultimately required will be much greater. The order is said to be a very pressing one, and that a delive ry is urged at a rate of 50,000 monthly if possible. This cir cumstance is not at present viewed with any alarm in the Money market, as the motive assigned for the order, and the despatch of it, is the miserable state of inefficiency as to equip ment, in which the whole of the regular army of France was left by Charles X. and his min isters." Liccrpool Market, Oct. 23. The demand for Cotton this week has been very limited, the sales amounting to only 0,000 bags; in prices there is very little alteration from Sat urday last, though occasional sales have been made in the common classes, of American and Brazil al i per lb. reduc tion. Ireland... The paners brought by the last arrival from Eng land, furnish the proclamation of the Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, forbidding the meeting of the Anti-Union Association, and Mr. O'Cox.vell's letter to the people of Ireland on that subject. The excitement a mong the people of that Island respecting the project of a se paration from Britain appears to be extreme, and it is no won der that it should be regarded by the government with some alarm. The following is Mr.O'Con nell s letter. TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. The Proclamation signed by Sir II. Hardinge, an English officer, "holdin a station here, and paid with our mo ney, prohibits a society, which has as yet no existence, from meeting This act is according to law; that is, there is a statute m force enabling th s En ghshman to prevent Irishmen from consulting together, in order to obtain legal and constitutional relief The proclamation will 0f m 1 obeyed-rcadily obeyed.

It is their old game; but I am convinced the endeavor will now be futile. The second is, the organization of secret societies, and the administering of illegal oaihs. I karn from un doubted authority, that this attempt is on foot. I call on the people as their friend; I warn them to avoid every illegal society, and every oath whatsoever. The third is, any attempt at. force or violence. The anti-union cause would be annihilated, if there was any 'attempt made to achieve it by force. Upon this point I de:irc to be most emphatic. Irishmen! No man but a bitter enemy to Ireland, will think of using force or violence. I think I can confidently pledge myself that the union cannot last, unless some attempt be made to dissolve it by force. Any effort of that kind would dis gust all men. No man of honor or conscience could countenance so ab surd and wicked an effort. We cannot fail to succeed, if we wait for the peaceable and moral com bination of ihu people. It will re quire time, and the absence of unrea sonable terror, to combine them. The animosities of religious discord arc too recent not to require patient consideration, in order to prevent their interference with the progress of that legislative independence, which the virtuous and the rood of all class es and persuasions will certainly achieve, unless prevented by the fol ly or crime of some of the people. Patience patience obedience to the law hut the more firm determi nation ou that account to awwit the season which is approaching, and in which our country will become tri umphant, by the peaceable, orderly and kindly combination of all her people. Your obedient servant, DANIEL O'CONNKLL. Mcnion Square, 19th Oct. A Limerick article states uiur the ordnance stores nave been removed front that eitv. on account of apprehensions from the peasantry of that quar ter, among whom considerable disturbances prevail. The sol diers of the o7th regiment in Newry have had quarrels with the people, whom they have treated roughly. The subject is to be investigated, and it is thought the regiment will be scut out of the country. FRANCE. The advices from Paris, which are to the 22d, inclusive, are interesting. It appears there had been a serious com motion in that city, which threatened to compromi.se the existence of the government, but quiet and submission to the laws was again restored. .SPAIN. (Jen. Valdez is reported to have entered Spain by Ainhue, on the 14th October," with be tween and 900 men, all of whom, except about fifty, are said to have been destroyed. This report is roundly con tradicted by private letters from Paris, dated Thursday, 2 1st, at 2 i M., although the" jMonitcur of the 22d speaks of it as an e vent which cannot be doubted. We trust that it is not true, as its influence upon the efforts of the Constitutionalists may prove most injurious to the cause of liberty. GERMANY. The only news of importance by this arrival, which can be relied upon, is the occupation of Antwerp by the Belgians, which renders all Belgium free, and we hope forever, of Dutch troops. SOUTH AMERICA. Colombia. The arrival at New York of the brig William, from Maracaibo, has brought advices from that place of Oct. 19th.

Bolivar's forces, it is said, had attacked iMbrn pox, on the Magthdena, and af ter several days fighting, at)d the loss of several hundred men, on the same side and the other, captured it. The prov ince of Rio llacha, in the mean time, has joined Venezuela. Troops have been sent to re duce it, by order of Bolivar, from Oarihaijena, under Gen. Blanco. To meet them, Col. Carnjo had sent out with a bo dy ot forces from the province and the two detachments were already within twelve leagties ol each other.
