AN UNFOUNDED REPORT relative to RUSSI 1. —The report not true. however generally circu lated, that E. MOSES and SON have had very extensive orders •rom Rus-la for military equipments in the impending war. E. Mons and SON, it Is true, have commercial tr .nsacti , ns with every country in the world, but they hate quite decided on pursuing their plans of business in the most patriotic manner, making commerce a bout of peace and prosperity. Besides, E. MOSES and Sore will never neglect their old patrons and those who have long honoured them with their support, even though temporary interest might be promoted by such era isactions. It is well knipwn that E MOSES and Sox are the merchant tailors of the Army and Navy ; that uniforms for a y service and complete equipment. , for any country are s onest obtained at their Establish menti, and their charges are considerably less than are cnstomari y m,cla ; that every artiste and comfortable style of attire is presented by them in the most accomplished workmanship and at the most economical prices. They provide the hest Dress for Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Business men, Mei•hanics aid Sailors, for Profes sional Gentlemen, Sportsmen, and all others. E. MOSES and Son have the err lest samples of New Materials for changes in the sea soneand the most popular Fashions which will prevail ; the largest and best-assorted stock of Hats, Caps, Hosiery Goods, Ladies' Cloth ing, and Youths' and Children's Dresses. Superior quality and very economical p• ices are to be observed in every article. In tne w h lesa e Clothing, Boot and Shoe, and other Departments, E. Mesgs and ON offer the greatest advantages to Merchants, Ship pers, and Emigrants, in the magnitude of the stock, suitability of the gooils, and very economical prices. CA tiTiON.-E. MOSES and SON regret having to gaard the public against Imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with heir Establishment," or " It's tile same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for ohvions reasons, they beg to state that they have Xo CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN Olt OUT OF LONDON, • except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories,.B3, .4,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. When the announcement was first made that an auxi liary army was about to be despatched to Malta...which was intended, in case of need, to proceed thence to TurKey, it was understood that the body of troops actually under orders for that service constituted but the first division of the British - contingen't destined to co-operate with our French allies. in -the - No steps had, however, been .taken. which could. warrant .the positive statement that the immediate . despatch .of a second force had been 'finally determined. It v as known that 1,200 men were about to .embark for the Mediterranean, but the extent to which that demonstration was to be followed up had not been settled. We are 'now able to announce that another force, of equal strength, will at once be organised 'and deripatehed with the least possible delay. The regi ments which are to make up this force have not yet been named,' but it may be considered as quite arranged that we are to have from 24,000 to 25,000 of our best soldiers engaged in repelling the aggressions of Russia upon Tur key. An army in all respects so perfectly equipped has never left our shores, and should unfortunately its ser vices be required in the field, the country may look forward with confidence to the result. _ . It may, perhaps, serve as a salutary check upon that iinpulsive enthusiasm with which people are too apt to reg ard the commenceme n t o f a wa r if we draw attention for. a moment to one feature in the arrange ments connected with the present expedition. The medical stores requisite have been provided partly from Apothecaries'-hall, and partly from the well-known firm of Savory and Sons, in New Bond-street. The latter have supplied 12 large medicine chests and 30 panniers, to be carried on mules and donkeys, and neatly packed with every description of medical and surgical appliance. Among th 9 items inchided are I,ooolb. of lint, I,ooolb. of tow, 200 old sheets, and 1,000 yards of adhe-ive plaster. It took four waggons to convey Messrs. 84 , vory's part of the . medical stores to the Tower. No doubt the drugs are of unexceptionable quality, the chests and panniers arranged in the most convenient way for the emergencies of medical practice in the camp, the splints and other mechanical auxiliaries to the heal ing art vast improvements upon what were in use during the last war ; but those who get very enthusiastic about prospective military operations on the Danube would do well to remember the 1,000 yards of adhesive plaster and the bales of lint which form a necessary part of the expedition. POItTSMOUTH, FEB. 20. The following orders have this day been given from head-quarters relative to the first embarkation of troops in this military district. The first battalion of the Cold stream Guards embarks at Southampton at 9 a.m. on Wednesday in the Orinoco for Malta. The battalion will leave Chichester station at 6 a.m. by a special train. The 3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards will arrive at Southampton from London and embark, at the same time, in the steam-ships Ripon and Manilla. The Ist battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards will embark at Portsmouth in her Majesty's steam-frigate Simoom on the 28th, and the 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade in her Majesty's steam-frigate Vulcan, on the 24th inst. 70 volunteers from the 76th Higlanders crossed from Portsmouth to Gosport at half-past 7 o'clock this morning, and left, with 60 of the 42d Highlanders, by train at 8.15 a.m. to make up the complement of the 93d Highlanders, who embark from Plymouth. These gallant volunteers, on leaving their quarters, preceded by a splendid band, and accompanied by a large concourse of their comrades in arms and the inhabitants of the garri son, were loudly and continually cheered down to the ferry, the band playing "The girl I left behind me," " Auld lang sync," &c. A large party of convicts from the Portsea establishment, under the governorship of Captain Knight, are employed in aiding the numerous free labourers in this arsenal. An extra number has been demanded to help to make gun wads. The work turned out by these convicts on the fortifications, in breaking up ships, in coaling steamers, in all mechanical arts, especially relating to implements, of war, is first-rate, and their behaviour equal to their work. The Neptune, 120, was commissioned this morning by Captain Henry Smith, C. 8., and the St. Vincent, 100, was commissioned by Captain E. H. Scott, to take the Neptune's place and carry the flag of Admiral-Superintendent Martin, which she hoisted at half-past 12 to-day. The Admiral, we are happy to report, is convalescent. The Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Willcox, hauled off to the stream this morning and commenced swingin g for the adjustment of her compasses. She has received her crew and bent sails. The Resistance troop-ship (an old 42-gun frigate) is home opportunely, and will doubtlessly be employed again quickly in conveying stores or munitions of war for the fleet. The Zephyr paddle-steam-tender arrived here to-day from Woolwich with supernumeraries for the fleet. The Scourge, 6, paddle-sloop, has been placed in the steam factory basin to-day to have her refit completed. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, was docked to-day to complete her refit. All the available force of the dockyard is put upon the Caesar, 91, Captain Robb, to expedite herfit tings ; her luirer rigging has - been got over the mast heads ; while hundreds of workmen are employed within, others are coppering her bottom and otherwise fitting her without, and arrangements are made to ship her provisions and sea stores while yet in dock. Workmen have again been put upon the Colossus, 80, to convert her for the screw ; they were lately taken off her and put upon other work. Seamen keep coming in hourly by land and sea. Rear-Admiral 'Sir James Stirling, appointed to super sede Vice-Admiral Sir Fleetwood Pellew, C. 8., in the command of the India and China squadron, did not leave Southampton this day, as had been given out. He proceeds first to Paris to have an interview with the French Minister of Marine relative to the augmentation of the squadron on the India and China station, and will pick up the mail packet at Malta which left South ampton to-day. SOIJTRAMPTON, FEB. 20. Nothing certain is yet known as to the time of de parture of the steamer Erne% or the port where the troops she is to carry will be taken on board. It is sup posed that the Himalaya will leave on Thursday next, with a detachment of troops, calling at Plymouth to complete her complemert. THE ARMY. Last evening the following announcement appeared in brigade orders : " The field officer in brigade waiting has received the commands of his Royal Highness the Prince Albert to ex press to the officers and men of the third battalion Grena dier Guards, and first battalion S co t s F us ili er G uar d s, th e pleasure and gratification which their splendid and sol dierlike appearance gave him when these battalions pa raded this morning, and to assure them at the same time that his Royal Highness's most cordial good wishes will constant' y attend them in the service abroad on which they are about to proceed." GARSIsoN ORDERS.—SOUTII-WEST DISTRICT, FEB. 20. The Ist battalion Coldstream Guards embark at South ampton at 9 a.m. on Wednesday next, in the Orinoco, for Malta.

The Ist battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards embark at Portsmouth in the Simoom, on the 28th and the 2d bat talion Rifle Brigade, in the Vulcan, on the 24th instant. Seventy volunteers of the 79th Regiment crossed over by the floating bridge at half-past seven on Monday morning to Gosport, and left with sixty of the 42d Regiment, by train, by the South-Western and Great Western Railways, to join the 93d Highlanders at Plymouth, ordered to Malta.

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. FRENCH OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON THE EASTERN QUESTION. The subjoined is a translation'of the official.announce ment in the goniteur n of yesterday, respecting the refusal of the Czar to th e last proposals :-- "We informed our readers; in Our publication of yes-, terday, that the Emperor Napoleon had teeeived from the Czar of Russia a reply to the letter which theFrencb Emperor had sent to him, containing the conditions of an arrangement which the Emperor _of France had thought might prove acceptable to his Russian Majesty. " The Czar discusses these proposed conditions, but, at the same time, declares that he is unable to enter upoti any negotiation, except upon those bases which he has already made known. "This decisive negative reply leaves no further chance of a pacific solution of existing differences ; and, therefore, France must prepare herself for maintaining, by more efficacious means, that cause which the per severing efforts of diplomacy has been unable to sustain. "In more energetically defending the rights of Turkey,the Emperor relies upon the patriotism Of the country, the close alliance of England, and the sympa thies of the Gerioan Governments ; for these Govern ments have continually declared that they, as resolutely as ourselves, would preserve the European balance of power by respecting the integrity and independence of the Ottoman empire. That is the only question in dispute. " Attention is, therefore, turned towards Austria; who, by her position, is called to play an active and im portant part. Austria has always _with great firmness, pronounced herself to be in favour_of those points which were agreed upon in the protocol of the Vienna con ference of the sth of December last. " We have every confidence in the loyalty and chival rous character of the young Emperor of Austria ; besides which we have a guarantee of the disposition of his government in the interests of his people, which are identically the same as our own. In the general cir cumstances of European policy, France,, strong in her loyal and disinterested intentions, has nothing to fear from the result of the struggle which is impending ; besides which, she knows that she can repose upon the energy, as well as upon the wisdom, of the Emperor." Some of the Paris journals of yesterday publish the following private telegraph despatch, frit, in doing so, throw doubt on the correctness of the information. It came from Marseilles on Sunday : " The Russian fleet has made its appearance before Batoum and bombarded it, but afterwards thought proper to retire after an attack which was not attended with any success." There are several versions of the manner in which the letter of the Emperor of the French was presented to the Czar. The following communication gives some details which are not uninteresting "The reply of the Emperor of the French arrived at St. Petersburgh on the 6th inst. M. de Castelbajac im mediately apprised Count Nesselrode that he wished to present a letter to the Czar from the Emperor of the French. Although it is contrary to Russian Court eti quette to speak to the Emperor of Russia on public business after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Count Nesselrode apprised M. de Castelbajac that he might present him self at the Palace, although the Emperor was suffering from the gout. M. de Castelbajac conse quently delivered the letter on the afternoon of the 6th. The Czar appeared to be painfully affected on reading it. He then spoke a few words, in a low tone, in Russian, which M. de Castelbajac did not under stand. He recovered his composure almost immediately, and told M. de Castelbajac that he would return an an swer in a few days." Telegraphic intelligence received at Vienna yesterday states that Russia rejects the Austrian proposition for further intervention communicated to Count Orloff. The Emperor Nicholas is said to be seriously ill. On the 14th Prince Paskiewitsch left Warsaw for St. Petersburg. Another communication from Bucharest, dated Feb. 12, says, in the skirmishes on the left bank of the Danube since the 3d the Russians had 800 killed and 1,600 wounded. The Lloyd learns from Odessa, under date Feb. 2, that the Russian fleet continually keeps the sea. The first and second divisions cruise from Kaffa along the Circassian coast, and observe Batoum. The third divi sion left on the 29th, in the direction of the Bulgarian coast, and, as it was thought, for Varna.. The Russian captains state that for years they have not known the weather in the Black Sea so favourable as at this season, The Cologne Gazette publishes the following telegraphic despatch, dated Constantinople, Feb. 6 "The united fleets have saved Shefkatil from an at- OA by the Russians." According to a communication from Berlin the Prus sian flotilla, which was in the neighbourhood of the theatre of war in Turkey, has received orders to return. Advices from Bucharest, received at Vienna yester day, state that the Russians have destroyed seven Turk ish vessels. Rutschuk is being bombarded from Giurgevo. A revolt has taken place on the borders of Albania, Macedonia, and Thessaly. The insurgents are nearly 40,000 strong, Arnauts and Greeks. Janina has risen, and has been joined by the inhabitants of Merzowa and Agraffa. The Turkish troops from the Montenegrin frontier are marching thither. Advices from Krajova of the 11th say—Russian troops are still marched on in the direction of Kalafat, and placed in the second and third line, so that it willbe next to impossible for the Turks to break through the Rus sian position. On the 6th the Russians took possession of an island above Moglavid, where they have since es• tablished a battery. The letters just received from the Danubian provinces (says the Patric) inform us that Rifaat Pacha, who com mands the army of reserve, had just left his head-quar ters at Sophia, and gone to the right bank of the Dan ube, at the point which commands Oltenitza. He was at the head of 35,000 troops, and the regiments making up this were all picked men. • This movement clearly indi cates that some important operation is being prepared. The same letters affirm that the condition of the Otto man army continued to be excellent, that the generalis simo had made all his arrangements for driving the Rus sians back from Kalafat, in case they should make their attack in front ; and that he had taken the most ener getic military measures for stopping the Russians, in case they endeavoured to force a passage through Servia in order to turn the Turkish posit,ion. News from Shumla of the 411 inst. say that Omar Pasha was there atthat dite. The change at the Turkish war-office was known there, and orders had been re ceived from Riza Pasha for carrying on the operations with all energy. The camp at Sophia is broken up, and the troops have been marched in the direction of Widdin. The reserves at Shumla have been divided into four corps, and sent to Rasgrad, Turtukai, Silistria, and Sistow. _ _ _ The Russian General Schilder has established a bat tery of 12 guns on the Isle of Ra,mudan, opposite Rutschuk. _ _ _ A reinforcement of five thousand men arrived on the 6th and 7th at Widdin. New fortifications were in course of construction on the island between that town and Kalafat. On the 3d inst. an order of the day from Omer Pacha was read in Kalafat to the army. The conduct of the troops, especial y of the Egyptians, was warmly praised in it, and the promise given to lead them soon against the enemy. A similar order was read in Rustchuk. A letter from Vienna, 18th, says :—" Baron de Mey endorff, the Russian Ambassador, has had a conference with the Minister of Foreign ffairs on the subject of Servia. It is stated that M.. de Meyendorff had in structions for the eventuality of the firman of the Sultan being publicly read, and he is, it is said, to use all his influence to bring about an understanding with Austria, that is to say, a common action of the two powers. The Servian, Senator Jankowies has not been received by Baron de Meyendorff." A letter from Bucharest of the 13th expresses surprise_ at a statement which has appeared in the English, Ger man, and French newspapers, to the effect that the hos podars of Moldavia and Wallachia have refused the pen sion of a thousand ducats a month offered them by the Russian Government, and have protested against the administration in the principalities ; and asserts, on the contrary, that the pension was only granted on the reite rated demand of the hospodars, that they receive it regularly every month, and that they have addressed their hearty thanks to the Russian Government for it. FRANCE. Genera l Castelbajc, Minister Plenipotentiary at St. a — Petersburg, has arrived in Paris. "It a ppears, says the bidependance of Brussels, " that the commercial negotiations with France are on the point of being terminated ; and according to a r umour, which we believe to be well-founded, the signa ture of a new treaty may be daily expected." The Prase says of Lord John Russell's 'speech : "Never did the minister of a great nation use firmer or more dignified language, never was outraged public mo rality vindicated more eloquently, and never were more withering epithets applied to the conduct of any crowned head." The Siecle says the Emperor's letter arrived at St. Petersburg on the morning of the 6th, and that General Castelbajac imm e di a t e l y as k e d f or an au di ence to de liver it personally to the Czar. He was told that his Majesty was unwell, and would be unable to receive him till the next day, or perhaps the day alter. What happened afterwards is not known in detail. The note of th e M on it eu r, explanatory of the inten tions of France with respect to Russia, has created an immense sensation in Paris. The letter of the Czar, in answer to that of the Emperor of the French was brought by General de Castelbajac himself, who arrived in Paris late on Saturday night. The letter, it appears, is not to be published by the French Government in ex tenso, because it is thought that it will do injury. It has been reported that the Czar's letter was short and vio lent. It is now said that, on the contrary, it is long and argumentative ; and that, .although not violent, it in oon.oeived iu terms a o ammo to Louis Napoleon /1 2 himself; butted by one of his most confiden. tial friends, it is too bad to be published. It is probable, however, that the document will soon find its way into the public prints, as it is evident that if the Emperor Napoleon, in writing and publishing his letter, had an object to g a i n i n France, , the Emperor Nicholas may also hope that, by publishing his answer, he may gain a point with the people of Russia. - It is worth while to note that among other passages in - it - this one is said to occur :—" I have the same confi dence that my troops will reply in the same manner as they replied in 1812." .1f such words be really in the document`they are clearly intended to be.a hit as well as a prediction. The Russian campaign was, it is true, the principal cause of the fall of Napoleon 1., and the actual campaign will, in the opinion of the Czar, be the prelude to , a similar catastrophe, but the circumstances are not the same. If ever a war could be called just. the present is a just one, and the conduct of Russia is of so iniquitous a kind that not even her own most de voted friends dare to approve it. 'lt has been particularly remarked that the note in the Moateux is perfectly silent with respect to Prussia ; uhiie it not 'only alludes pointedly to Austria,. but gives the young Emperor of. Austria an exhortation as to his duties in the present conjuncture. The inference drawn from this fact is that, notwithstanding all the rumours as to the want of success of Count Orloff, in his mission to Vienna, the French Government is by no means sa tisfied as to the intentions of Austria. It has been discovered that attempts have been making in the Faubourgs to get up a demonstration of the working classes against the war ; in fact, any pretext whatever-4or instance, that France is sold to England ; that England is about to seize, with the consent of France the island of Candia ; that France is giving up Algeria to please England. It is also circulated among the working classes ,that two or three of the exiled GeneralS have gained over several regiments ; one or two to proclaim the Red Republic, one or two others to restore the legitimate King, &c. Efforts are likewise made to get up a manifestation for the 24th, the anniversary of the Revolution of 1848. The Republican chiefs are op posed to anything of the kind, and the people seem to pay very little attention to the agents referred to, who are, very probably, anything but Republican. The announcement in the Moniteur that the Emperor of Russia had refused to negotiate on the terms proposed by the Emperor Louis Napoleon produced a disastrous fall in the price of public securities at the Bourse to-day.

The Gazette contains, as has been already stated, the two royal decrees by which Generals O'Donnell and Jos4 de Is Concha have been struck out of the army list, for not obeying the orders of the Government to go into exile. The reason assigned for this measure, as regards General O'Donnell, is that he has in a' public and official manner deserted the ranks of the army,' and as regards General Josh de la Concha, that having been ordered by the Government to go to Palma, in the Island of Majorca, he has not obeyed, hut, on the contrary, has informed the military authorities at Barcelona, by letter, that he was resolved to secrete himself, and to emigrate abroad—such conduct being an act of disobedience, and contrary to his own honour, and to the military spirit. General de la Concha, as has been stated, had left for France, or was about to leave, but it was not known what had become of General O'Donnell. The Gazette states that the Governor of the province of, Barcelona had reported that the bands of insurgents which had appeared in the mountains had been so closely pursued that they had passed into France. The Infante Enrique had arrived at Valencis, the place assigned for his residence by the Government, and the Duchess de Seville, his wife, had left Madrid to join him. _ _ General Manuel de la, Concha has demanded to be allowed to retire from the army, but the Government is of opinion that retirement of general officers command ing the staff of the army is not allowed by the laws and decrees relative to the army. The Three per Cents. were done at 37k ; the New Three per Cents., at 19i ; the Debt of the first class at 8, and that of the second at 4g. DENMARK AND SWEDEN. It is said that intelligence has arrived in Stockholm of the English Government having formally acknow ledged the Scandinavian neutrality. The language em ployed has also given great satisfaction. . Stockholm has now been declared free from cholera. Private letters from Norway and Sweden agree in supposing that England will take energetic steps in the Baltic. Aland and Bomarsund, they reason, must at once be taken possession of. Finland must then be freed from its Cossacks and restored to its northern kinsmen. They regard it as utterly impossible for any Government to let this opportunity go by for a deed so necessary, so great, so merciful, so just. The following - are the most important passages in the message of the King of Sweden and Norway which was read at the opening ofrthe 14th ordinary 4 Storthing of I Norway on the Bth : "Our relations - with all the foreign powers still bear the character of reciprocal esteem and friendship. The political complications which appear at this mo ment to threaten the general peace of Europe will not shake them, at least such is the hope we entertain. In concert with the King of Denmark.. I have decided for the interest of the united kingdoms, in case of possible accident, to preserve a neutral position, which we must seek to maintain by force and union, we who are and must remain strangers to the quarrels hich have arisen between the other powers. lam certain that the Norwegian people will not hesitate at any sacrifice to put me in a state to guarantee and protect that inde pendent position, on which our dearest interests essen tially depend. We must with reason thank Providence for the proems of material welfare which has fallen to the share of 'Norway, particularly during the last year, in consequence of the flourishing- state of commerce and the abundant harvest, refused to other countries. The wel fare has been increased as much as depended upon the Government. Convinced that amelioration in the means of communication powerfully contributes to this, the Nor wegian people, with a really patriotic spirit, have warmly met my projects for this object. The railway, although not perfectly completed, has nevertheless evince the com mencement of the provisional service produced the most important and useful results." AMERICA, ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. LIVERPOOL, AY. This afternoon the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Capt. Lott, arrived in the Mersey, with the usual mails from the United States and British North America. The Asia sailed from New York at 6 a.m. on the 9th inst., and has brought, besides the mail, 40 passengers, but no specie. By this arrival we regret to learn that a most disastrous fire, destroying six steamers, and with a loss of 37 lives, had occurred on the 4th inst. at New Orleans, the details of which are given from a New York paper as follow " At three o'clock this afternoon the steamer Charles Belcher, just arrived from Nashville, caught fire, and in a short time was totally consumed, with her valuable cargo of cotton, tobacco, and western produce. "Thirty-two negroes and five white men hayse perished in the flames. They were persons chiefly employed on board the boats. "The flames spread with frightful rapidity, and in a short while extended to the steamers lying alongside at the Levee. "The fire spread to the steamer Natchez, just arrived, which, with her cargo of 2,000 bales of cotton; was entirely destroyed. "The steam-boat Cairo next caught fire, and was burned. "The steam-boat Sultana, with Madame Sontag on board, caught fire, but the flames were extinguished before much damage was done. ".A. number of barges lying at the Levee, oaded with produce consigned to various houses, were also greatly damaged. "An immense amount of produce—cotton 'flour, provisions, and hemp —w as on b oar d these ve;seas, all of which is destroyed. "An immense amount of produce on th e Wha r ves was also consumed. " Some'of the fire-engines have fallen over the Levee into the water. SECOND DESPATCH, " NEW ORLEANS, FEE. 5. • " Six steam-boats were consumed in the conflagra tion yesterday—namely, the Charles Belcher, Natchez, Mohegan, Saxon, Grand Turk, Leah and. Luna.:.: They were _valued at $300,000, and mostly insured in western offices, The remainder of the property de stroyed was mostly insured in this city, chiefly at the Crescent. office. " The total loss is variously estimated at from $700,000 to $1,000,000. "There was another fire this morning in Charles-street, which destroyed two valuable stores, and badly damagedtwo others. Loss estimated at $100,000." At New York the Stock Market had rallied, and was exhibiting an upward movement. The market for breadstuffs was firm, with an ad vancing tendency. Cotton was quiet, and had not exhibited any un usual movement. . . Au active demand existed for provisionS. Freights were inactive.
