LA 'I EST FROM EUROPE. The Caledonia packet ship, anived at New York last, left Liverpool on the 2d ol August. London. July 51. According to French paptrs received this mornig, there wasa general talk at Paris ol a Congiess, which is to be held at Lavbach. Its object is said to be the regulation ol the existing interests concerned in the Tmktih war, as well as the consequences likely to re suit from the treaty ol the 6.h July. It is affirmed that all the powers will send their Ambassadors. What necessity has Russia to send one ? Is not her army sufficient.

The Nmemburg Correspondent of thc 22;1 inst. says it was reported at Vienna that an alliance had been entered into by England, France and Austria, to prevent the threatened aggrendizement of Russia. A German paper asset ts that 100,000 Russians an. advancing to force the passage of the Baikan mountains. The Turks, it is said, depend on their lines at Schumla, which are defended by 1 300 cannon. The Russian squadron of four ships of thc line and three frigates, under the command of Rear Amiral Ricord, passed Dover yesterday morning from the eastwaid down

Channel. Thc Admiral's ship unfortunately struck on the Varne Sand, and laid there a bout two hours Had there been any wind the ship would have received great injury; but thc sea was quite calm, and the tide fl..w ing, so that the ship got nfT about ten o' clock, and proceeded with the rest of the squadron to the westward Sun.
