LATEST FROM EUROPE. At a late hour last evening, we received English papers to the 10th ult. Upon a hasty perusal, we are only able to give the following. It is reported that Messina has been killed by Bonaparte, in a fit of passion, though other accounts say it was by accident. Accounts are received from Paris on the 28th March, that Bonaparte had not left that place but that he would probably set off after an extraordinary meeting that was to be held of the senate Troops were pouring into Germany from all parts. A paper of the 4th mentions reports being received of actions between the French and Austrians, but latter papers give no confirmation of them, and it only appears that preparations were going on vigorously between them. A paper the 4th says two expeditions are intended-- one has just sailed from Cork the other will sail from Portsmouth in a few days--one is intended for Portugal the other unknown. The tnp!s rotitain a variety f rura-

papers to the 14th, and Liverpool to the 16th ult. The accounts from Spain, received in

London were not of a favourable nature to

the Spanifli caufc ; altho Vigo had been taken by them. French troops had entered

Portugal, and it was expected that' they would get poflt llion of that country. Ac counts received via Bofton, (late that Lif

bon had. already fallen into the hands of the

French. Nothing is faid about the war

with Aulliia ; but Sweden had concluded an

armiftice with Ruffia, to prepare the way,

probably for an alliance with France. N, Y. Gaz. LONDON, April 5.

Gen. Dupont, who surrendered to the

Spaniards under Cuesta, is said to have been
