From the New-York Herald—Friday evening November 25, 5 o'clock.
Latest from Europe.—The schooner Chauncey has just arrived from Ostend, in the remarkable short passage of 23 days—sailed the 1st of November, and brought us a file of Paris papers to the 26th of October: the Harlem Courant of the 28th, and Brussels Gazettes to the 9th containing London dates to the 15th of Oct. We have not time to make translations this evening. Our Commissioners were still at Ghent going on with the negotiations.
The continental Congress assembled at Vienna on the 3d of October, and entered upon the business of the meeting, and after being in session several days the negotiations broke off. Lord Hill was preparing to leave England for the continent with all the disposable force that could be raised.
It was believed hostilities would shortly take place again between France and Great Britain.
