PHILADELPHIA, July 4.

FROM EUROPE.

London dates 4 days the latest. by the arrival of the ships Othello, and Pacific from Liverpool, and the British Packet from Falmouth, (Eng.) via Halifax, we have received, (says the New-York Evening Post.) London papers of the 13th: and Liverpool of the 18th May. both inclusive.

It does not appear that any blow has yet been struck, but preparations of dreadful note, were making, nor would it be long before the momentous crisis would arrive. We find two highly interesting state papers which we re-publish; one by the King of France and one by the Allies. Speaking of the former "Such a document, (says the London Sun) must confirm the detestation of the people of France against the demon who has invaded their repose. dashed from their lips the cup of felicity, and robbed them of the blessing of Peace."

OFFICIAL ARTICLE.

VIENNA, April 26.

The Declaration of the 13th of March is known in France, as is proved by the article inserted in the Journal de Paris of the 5th of April. This Declaration is the unanimous expression of the wishes and suffrages of nations. The article which pretends to refute it presents us with the most scandalous abuse that ever has been made of the faculty of speech, and of human reason among an enlightened people. :

The development of the principles which dictated the act of the Congress of the 13th March, will demonstrate to the French nation that it never will speak the sacrilegious language-which its oppressor attributes to it-will separate its cause from his-preserve to the nation its real dignity-and open to it a prompt and honorable way still to rally to the rest of Europe.

The Congress has not deliberated upon suppositions. -It has proscribed Bonaparte. This man cannot and ought not, to find farther asylum among civilized nations; still less can he govern them. Such is the principle of the act of proscription denounced against him: It is founded upon justice, as well as the legitimate interests of nations; it is, therefore irrevocable.

Assistance has been offered to the French nation and its Government--it is still offered. It may possibly decline this assistance, by rejecting from its bosom the principal of the war. It cannot do without it, as long as it shall bear the yoke of a man who seeks to dishonor it, by making it guilty of two-fold perjury.

A compact united it with its sovereign--a treaty had reconciled us with Europe. Bonaparte, in arrogating to himself the supreme power, has made it violate both. He replunges it into the horrors of civil war, anarchy and military despotism. It is possible that he dares to promise France liberal institutions and the empire of the laws? It is possible that this same man can have the effrontery to promise to foreign nations, that he will respect treaties, and not interfere in their affairs? It is he who pretends to make the independence of the French nation respected ? His leaving the Island of Elba, his arrival in France, the titles with which he dares to invest himself. the authorities he has seized upon, the delusions (presages) with which he surrounds it, those which he is preparing to support it--all these crimes, if legitimated by the assent of the European powers, would threaten social order with complete destruction and nations with the yoke from which they have just been delivered.

No-no experience has been lost to Europe after so many years of suffering and calamity, none will be lost for France. She knows the countless evils which the monstrous despotism of a single man has caused to weigh upon her, as upon the rest of the universe, while her patriots feel what they owe to their dignity, as members of the European family, and to their internal prosperity as individual states. This sentiment having become common to all people and all governments, created a new moral force in political combinations, which alone made the grand alliance prosper, and enabled it even to conquer the general peace at the gates of Paris.

This force exists; it is indestructible, because it is composed of the most powerful motives, (springs of action) and of the dearest sentiments
