LATEST FROM E UROPE.
By the arrival l*st evening of the
ship Courier, ? Bowne, we have re
reived London papers to the 89th of
Sept. in*jusiv?% one day later than
announced in the morning pajiers.?
They are chiefly occupied with meet*
ings in every part of the country.
.. The Courier of the 29th of Sept.
contain* the proceedings, down to
three o'clock on -tbat day, of a com
mon hall, for the election of Lord
Mayor; and a* more violent and
stormy meeting, we do not recollect
ever to have read or lieard of. Hunt
anck Hone were present, and were,
loudly cheered by; the populace.
There was a dreadful struggle lie*
-tween tlte parties to occupy the luist
ings. When the Lord Mayor ad
vanced to the front to make bis o
l>ei<<ance, it was qaite imposible to
de*cril>e the uproar which assailed
his cars from all quarters: " Fire V'

pjsculations that resounded thron Ji

and every thing like a decent respott
for that corporate hedy was abandon
ed ; a sort of brutal triumph over
that institution, which' had bilhertft
been consideted sacred, prevailed,
nud in this state things remained
Mfhen our reporter left ths lull, at

The papers are filled with accounts
of meetings for rfeform in different
p?rts ot the kingdom. The Liver

4* Tlie meeting of the Stockholders
ef the Bank of Uie United States,
which has just terminated, it
will be recollected, convened in pur-l
suftoce of a provision of the charter,
requiring such a convention once in!
every three years, 'the only, duly
enjoined on the Director* of the
Bank, as connected with this meet-'
ing, is, * that an fexact aud particu
* lar statement of thq debts which
*< shall have remained unpaid after
? the expiration of the original credit,
" fur a period of treble the term of
? that credit, and of ttig^jitts pfo
" fits," &c. he laid beflHK Stock
holders. Unfortunately, tlte Beard
of Directors had no re|K>rt to make
undei the hurt clause of this sentence.
Under the irstpart of it, a statement
was laid before tlie Stockholders,
literally complying with the requisi
tion of tlie law, aa far as the book*
would allow. It waa, however, that
this statement, though literally just,
wis actaally calculated to deceivi
and nn*lead; aud was, tliereforr,
very properly ordered upl to b<; ptiu

ill Us am!?otes, which have Lfeeti iV- '
ing ov^/ for treble the terat of ori-(|
?ilia) credit, is only /our thousand
dollar*; whilst at another Branch,
which has been free ft*m suspicion
t?f protested bills is stateoat 8704)00.
The key to this rilMle is to he found
in the mode in which the books of
foy&s are . kept The Baltimore
loses, in the one case, bad
Mtccured the eight months necssa
ry to entitle them to a place iu this
statement ; and, at the other Branch,
the amount of protested paper was
*>n pledges of local andUnited Slates'
stocks, on which . the owners were
not prepared to pay the required cur
tailments of 80 percent ; and which,
thsugh safer than any other debts
dne to the bank, are now lying over.
With regard to the amount of protect
ed hills and notes at* the Parent
Bank in this city, which appeared to
ns to be enormously large, amount
ing to upwards of 600,000 dollars,
it was stated, in explanation by Mr.
Clheves, that the whole amonnt of
losses at the Mother Bauk, as 'esti
mated from a source, on which en
tire reliance might be placed, yras
only 102,000 dollars ; this estimate,
he was himself satisfied, was suffi
ciently large. The remainder of
the debt consists principally of notes
I sustained by ample pledges of stock/
, at or about its par value.

The director Rondeau announces,
that means are taking to remove the
families and valuables from the city
to the interior on the shortest warning,
so as to present to the enemy a maw
of hare walls defended by men who
have every thing to lose. It appears
that their civic troops are exercised
every evening, and that all domes
tics from ten years old and npwSrd/i,
: without exempting those of monas
teries andconveats are forced ipto
battalions and companies. They
Shave a force of fifteen thousand men
equal to regular troops in the city,
alone, and when we consider that
they ta^ve the advantage of fortifica
litftia, and the assistance of a still
greater force from the country, it is
evident that tlie resistance will he
desperate. They have little to fear
from inva4on, hut the danger with
which they believe themselves threat

?f which moat of the buildings in the

been prepared by a drought of near
ly seven weeks to further the work
of destruction. It would be impos.
sible for us to Callow the fire in fa
