LATEST FROM EUROPE.

By an arrival at New Bedford, from England, we have received a London weekly paper of May 24, from which we are enabled to make the following selections: It does not appear, by any official statements, that the war had been renewed in Poland; but the reports which reach us from almost every quarter, seem to strengthen an opinion that it has been recommenced with dreadful slaughter. The article, under the London date of May 24; on this subject, may be considered to bear a continental date very little distant in time from those brought to Providence by the Hazard. It is, however, more particular and satisfactory. The late rumours of Peace appear to have given way to other expectations, which involve, not only a sanguinary warfare in Poland, and along the northern maritime coast, but throughout the whole extent of the Turkish empire. This extension of the war may be considered as resulting from the ill success of the expedition against the Porte; since it has given to the French a complete control over the civil and military operations of that power.

LONDON, MAY 24.

Rumors of a great Battle in Poland.

A general battle is rumored to have at length been fought--At a late hour on Friday evening it was reported that the Russians and Prussians had made a general attack upon the French army. Others alleged that the attack was begun by the French.

The Russians and Prussians, amounted to about 185,000, of whom 160,000 were Russians--The French force was near 200,000. By the Russians had reserve in Lithuania of 40,000 men more. The battle is rumored to have been of the most furious and obstinate nature. It terminated much in the same way as the battle of Eylau--without any decisive advantages gained by the French--Thirty thousand men are said to have been killed and wounded on both sides.

Yesterday morning we received letters from the coast, which state, that a heavy firing was heard on Thursday night, in the direction of Calais, supposed to have been rejoicings for some victory. The French, of course, if the result were as we have stated it above indecisive, and if they had nothing more to boast of than they had at Eylau, would claim the victory, and order rejoicings to take place, and Te Deum to be celebrated. The conscripts must be encouraged. But if the consequence of the battle was neither the surrender of Dantzic, nor the capture of Konigsberg, the French have little to boast of.

The battle is stated to have begun on the 6th: the Emperor Alexander, the King of Prussia, and Bonaparte, headed their respective armies.

Other accounts from Holland state, that the battle was not decisive, but that the French were defeated.

An American vessel from Rotterdam is arrived off Dover, which landed an over sea pilot belonging to that place who states, that, at the time he sailed, a report reached Rotterdam of a battle having been fought in Poland, which lasted three days, and ended in the total defeat of the French--The emperor of Russia and king of Prussia were personally engaged. Similar accounts are said to have prevailed at Flushing.

Such are the rumours which have reached us--No accounts of any battle have been officially received by government.

[Besides the foregoing article, the London paper referred to contains a few continental articles of but little importance. On the 4th May nothing had occurred between the armies. The Turkish army has been wholly reorganized, and every corps of a thousand men has a French officer, subordinate only to the commander in chief. The Barbary powers are said to have all declared against Britain. The siege of Dantzic still continued. On the 29th April the French made three attempts to take the place by storm, without success. A convention has been entered into between the kings of Prussia and Sweden, by which the former agrees to supply the latter with 13,000 men, to be commanded by gen. Blucher, 6,000 of whom are expected immediately at Stralsund.]
