FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,
FROM EUROPE.

greater part or our impression last evening, we an
nounced the arrivals of the packet ships Blittana and
Henry Kneeland, from Liverpool whence they sailed
on the Sd of October. BY these arrivals the editors
OF the Commercial Advertiser have received copous
files of London and provincial papers, including the
former OF the I'd, and Liverpool of the Sd.
The intelligence from the seat of war is not much
later than former adyces. 1t was reported that
the Grand Vizier had reached Choumla, with rein
forcemcnt of 10000 men, 1t is evident that the Rus
SANS make but slow progress. Reports add that the
Emperor will postpone his grand object Of taking pos
session of Consantinople until the next campaign
and will return to ST. Petersburgh to spend the winter
and strengthen his army.
There reports in London that the Russians had
ordered the blockade of the Dardanelles and the
Courier of the st says, the report has at length ass-
med more decided character-and if we are not mis-
informed the discussions which have taken place upon
the subject have terminated in the following manner:
formal notification of his Imperial Maiestys inten-
ton to blockade the Dardanelles will be made forth
with to the British and French governments. The
blockade however will be very limited in its operations
and, at all events, we understand his Maestys govern
ment will exert itself to protect as far as possible the
interests of British trade. The stocks had declined
in consequence of this report, but were again on the
at the last dates when it was believed the measure
had been agreed to by the British Governments as be-
ing likely to conduce to the more speedy execution of
the Greek treaty. An official announcement of the
blockade was hourly expected, with the understanding
that it is only to relate munitions of war and pro-
visions.
The march of the Grand Vizier from the capital to
Daud Pacha, it is said, resembled religious process
sion. The Mufti, with sword in his right hand and
the Koran in his left, preceded the troops. The ma
rlne which was almost destroyed in the battle of Ma
varino, has, in measure, repaired its losses Sew
en- frigates and three bngs preparing enter the
Black Sea- and to raise the blockade of the ports invest
ed by the Russians or, least, to introduce provis-
ions and troops into them.
Though the accounts from Paris, of sortie from
Varna, the 1ith Incorrect it is reported that a
sore has taken place since the date of the last bue

August 1t is said to have been made on the 4th of
September to have been sanguinary one, but without
decisive advantage either side No particulars how

The London Morning Advertiser of Sept 80 saws
the Nuremburgh Correspondent contains an article |
from the'Danube, in which it stated, that the num-
Der of sick troops in the Russian hospitals amounts to
10000 to $4,000 men, and that the Emperor had en-
pressed strong desire for peace. The editor says,
the latter part of the statement is wholly inconsistent
with the vast preparations which tho Emperor made for
carrying on the war; and the immense reinforccments
which he has ordered up against Chouma and Varna
At all events it scarcely be supposed that the Sui
tan would after the which his arms have expe-
renccd listen to any terms which the Emperor might
propose.
