LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—This DAY. .ti f aggregate of our arrivals this week is considerable eeign Wheat, Flour, and Indian Corn ; while those cosstwise or from Ireland, except of Oatmeal, are unim- Tortant.

DEPARTURE or FUSILEER GuAßDs.—The Guards left te Southampton barracks a t 7 30 a.m. Passing by Buckingham Palace to the Waterloo station, they were a ccompanied by an immence concourse of people. The b attalion leaves Portsmouth this afternoon. The Times leader says the governments of England a nd France have resolved to address the Emperor of Russia a formal summons, calling upon him to give within 81 z days from the receipt of that communication a solemn Promise and engagement that he will cause his troops to evacuate the Principalities of the Danube on or before me 30th April. The couriers left London and Paris yes t.PaY morning. They will pass through Berlin and ~..I . erina, whence it is understood that similar demands tut be forwarded at the same time by the Cabinets of Prussia and Austria. The refusal on the part of Russia to comply with this just demand, or to return a fitting aIISIVer will be regarded by the powers as a declaration of vvar. It is calculated that this communication will reach „St. Petersburgh i n ni ne or t en d a y s . V er y possibly the term Nicholas will not avail himielf of the formal of six days which has been extended to him, as there can be no doubt of the purport of his answer. At any rate, in less than three weeks that answer will be known, Ind the forces of the allied powers, which are already on 'olr way to their respective destinations will be in a posi tion to commence hostilities. „The English fleet will proceed early in March to the A ~,attegat, and await the opening of the Baltic. Sir Charles Napier will be first, and Commodore Michael Seymour the second in command. It would be wise and politic to restore the Isle of Alsen to the Scandinavian monarchies ; and the Times hopes t he Swedes may endeavour to recover the provinces Vested from them. , The first two columns of about 8000 men each will ern p_ark simultaneously at Toulon and Algiers, while the British division is making its way up the Mediterranean. Telegraphic news from Constantinople of the 13th states t hat, the Porte acceded t o th e c onven ti on p ro ff ere d it by ,„"gland and France, so that on their arrival in the Turkish territory the troops will be received under the Provisions of a specific engagement with the Turkish Government. In a second leader on the probability of Greek ships taking letters of marque, the Times trusts ?al' men of war will treat them as Sir James Brooke did Elie pirates on the coast of Borneo. Should they take r efuge in the ports of Greece, or should it be found that . rraainents are fitting out at these ports with the manifest I ntention of pursuing that bloody game, it will be neces `arY to take some decided steps with those ports, so as to secure them from being put to this use for the future. PA.RIB, MONDAY.—Bourse risen. Threes, 67 85 ; Four a nd a Half per Cents, 96/.—Lord Raglan arrived on Sun `LaY, and would leave on Monday. to ST. PETERSBURG, FEB. 18.—It is said that Sir Hamil ton Seymour left without seeing the Emperor, having demanded told his passports were re a dy. The F r ench en v oy e nlanded to he treated in a similar manner, but the Czar expressed a wish to see him, and invested him with the order of St. Alexander Newsky. The wealthiest families f t.

An ukase enjoins all naval officers on pensions to rejoin the service. Many Greeks have been entered into the Russian service ; and great advantages have been held out to the Jews to ind uc e them to enter the navy.—lt is stated that a last and energetic attempt would be made to buy over solve of the Turkish Ministers before a treaty can be signed, finally committing Turkey to the French and , 4 dlglish alliance. In such a case a revival of the treaty of 11 1dar Skelessi, excluding all but Russian and Turkish ops from the Dardanelles, would be a primary stipula- Lion. eoNsTAITTINOPLE, FEB. 17.—The French and English voys have sent two steamers to the assistance of the a n , and probably the Gulfs of Contessa and Salonica, ai z p t lkit_coast of Albania will be declared in a state of „.-Che British Minister at Athens has informed the Bary:',vovernment that England will interfere, if neces- O, L io restore order in the insurgent districts.
