FOREIGN. "LATEST FROMKUROPK. JVevt York, Oct. 19.?We aru indebted, says the Gazette, to a passenger who ar rived here last evening In the packet ship Erie, Capt. Funck, frota Havre, fur Paris papers to the 19th and London to the 14th of September inclusive. Owing to the late hour they were received, we aro only ena bled to give a brief summary of their eon tents. The U. S. frigate Constellation, Captain Wadsworth, which sailed from this port on tho 17th of August, with Messrs. .11'Lean and Hives, our ministers to Ijondon and Paris, arrived at Cowes on tho 13th of Sep tember. Tho London Star of the 12lh ult. stale* ths* the cabinct had determined on declar ing war against Russi?, and was only waiting to sound tho iutentions of Austria, and he assurod of succour (Von France. The Duke of Wellington, it waa said, had held conferences with the principal capital ists, for the purpose of engaging the noces sary means. Tho Russian army entered AnJrtanople on the 20th August, the commander-in chief at the head. Tho force which took possession of the place amounted to 56,000 wan, of whom only 0,000 were kept in the city; thereat were diaposed of in several di rections, and a corps waa sent ten leagues in advance on the road to Constantinople. , The advices <Yom the theatre of war are to the SBd August, at which time Gen. Roth i had advanced as far as Rodosto. The commander-in-chiof was marching towards ArabaBergas, on his way to Constantino ple, and kept up a regular communication with tho army under Gen. Ruth. The Sect was daily obtaining advantages, and Admiral Greig had captured lniada, situat ed on the Black 8oa, and whence they could reach Constantinople very easily. It waa said that Vice Admiral Ricord, who waa stationed before Tenedos, had received or ders to assist the operations of tho army, and aa soon as he was advised of tho arrival of Gen. Roth at Rodosto, ho was to attempt tho passage of the Dardannelles. It was supposed that this would bo very easy, as the Turkish 0oet was shut up in tho port of Dtgukdert. According to advict* from Odessa to tho aOthof August, negociationa wero about to be opened, from which favorable results were anticipated, as the Porte had no far ther means of resistance in Europe, and Gen. Paskewitseh was capturing one after the other of his provinces in Aaia. Not withstanding tho Sultan waa making the greatest exertions to terminate tho war with as little discredit to himself as possi ble. lie was exercising every means In his power to excito tho poptilaco against Ruisda, and was at Ote same time, request ing an armistice of Gen. Diebitseh. Tho nopulsce, however, remained quiet, and I>iebitsch was following up bis successes. It wsssaid that he had frequently inform ed the Grand Vixier, who luu) demanded an armistice and tho opening of negocia tions at Constantinople, that die Porto was already aware of the sentiments of his sovereign?that he know on what terms they could treat, and that the fulfilling of the necessary conditions would put an end to hostilities.
