There has been very little change in the Corn market since Tuesday, and to-day only a small business was done at about Tuesday's prices for all articles except Indian Corn, which was ls. per quarter cheaper, At Wakefield a small business was done at last Friday's prices. 'Mr. F. J.' Eaton, in his Circular issued to-day, gives the following report of the Tallow trade for the past week : There has been but little doing in the London market for early delivery for wait of sellers, and prices have gradually advanced from 584 early in the we3k, to 61s per cwt for March delivery ; from that period forward, the closing prices were 564 April, 54s May, and 525 o..tober, December. The half-week delivery is 446 cks, against 1,040 eke last year, and the present stock 23,472 cks, against 39,065 cks in 1855. The business here is confined to small lo's of P.Y.C. at 583 to 60s per cwt, and about 40 cks Neapolitan at 553 per cwt. Business in American Securities in London, which was very dull in the earlier part of the week, has greatly revived sinco the arrival of the two last packets from New York, especially as a semi. official contradiction is given in the Washington Union" to the reports of the desire of the President to embarrass the relations of the two countries. We note a strong demand for Illinois Construction Bonds at high rates, with a good enquiry for Erie Third Mortgage and Sinking Fund Bonds and':for Michigan Central and New YorleCentral Bonds. We also note small transactions in Penn sylvania Central and" Ohio. and Pennsylvania Income Bonds at previous rates. A parliamentary return of the bullion purchased and 86'a - by-the Bank of England during last year has just been issled. It appears that the total purchases amounted t 0.8,310,3581., the whole of which was in gold bars or foreign coin ; the latter, however, constituted but 69,2431. of the amount. The , sales during the same period amounted to 3,391,9811., of which 14,2181. was in foreign gold in.

FRANCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS,_THURSDAY EVENING There is very little news to-day. If we are to believe the German papers the Allies have. com municated to Prussia the interpretation they intend to give of the fifth point of the Austrian conditions, and that power considers them very moderate. If this be so, it is difficult to conceive what is to prevent Prussia from signing the Con ditions and entering the conferences ? I am able to confirm the statements which I have more than once made, that notwith standing the hopes of peace which are entertained, the French Government is not, in any respect, re laxing its military preparations. Thus, it has within the last few days ordered the departUre of troops for the Crimea—an entire regiment ; and has also pressed General Zamoyski, commander of the Polish Cossacks, to hasten his departure. The Bank of France, in its sitting to-day, de cided-that it will henceforth again discount bills of 90 days date. This measure will be very advan tageous to commerce, and has long been de manded: The telegraph informs us that on the 6th the Emperor of Russia received Count Esterhazy, the Austrian ambassador, in private audience, for the first time since his return to St Petersburg, that is since the acceptance of the Austrian conditions. This shows that the relations between Russii and Austria are the reverse of friendly. A treaty has just been signed between France and Spain, for definitively fixing the precise limits of the frontiers of the two countries, which have for upwards of a century been a subject of dispute. The French government, in pursuance of its liberal commercial policy, has reduced the import duties on some chemical substances. FOREIGN INT ELLIGENCE. FRANCE. We learn from Paris letters, of Thursday's date, the following intelligence, touching the aqsem hinge of the Congress of Plenipotentiaries. We have already announced the arrival of the Russian diplomatist, Baron Bruuow, in Paris. A correspon dent says : "Baron Brunow will not be left long on the field alone. Count Buol is probably by this time at Strasburg; he WAS expected there this morning, and he will be in Paris to -night or to-morrow early. day at Lyons, and will • ow n Minister of Foreign Affairs, to Co unt Arnim, Prussian Ambassador at Vionna, in r e l ) to the communication made on the 23rd of Ja na ary to the Berlin Cabinet by Count George 1 hazy, in the name of the Austrian Cabinet, proposals which Austria has since submit the Diet, on the subject of the new phas which the Eastern question has entered : BERLI My despatch of th 6th of January was alret hen, on the 23rd of Janul zy eoMnittnicAted to me-the-Austrian d 3, of the 25th of January annex to that despatch, the declaration has the intention to make to the Diet, bn been the subject of our serious considerat enna Cabinet, before deciding upon it, hg ns on the subjedt, we might have been able out a desirable modification, and we could not at fir have decided in the negative the question as to v it would not, be better to adjourn for a time the nication to the Diet. suited That consideration, however, did not prevent us standing by the decision of the Imperial Cabinet as .; as it was taken, actuated by that sincere desire of w• we have given so many proofs, of seeing the Diet COg ) a resolution upon it, rendering testimony to the uni ol Germany and of the two great Powers, in so far as 2 resolution is reconcileable with the dignity and with real interests of the German Confederation. We are convinced that our German Allies recognis:', ourselves, and with sincere satisfaction, that the pre '' aries accepted by the belligerent Powers form an acct" basis for a speedy peace. I already stated in my . 10.0 of the 26th of Jan., that Prussia, in her qualitY" European Power, is ready to adopt that basis, in pr o ing which she is convinced she contributed on her P. the interests of the peace of Europe, when the mon came for decision to intervene; to adopt it, I say, nc tions c minaries and by partici is equally cons( well towards Lt d therewith, if invited position a is — of her whole German Confed She must at they also will be dis. pired by: the ntee of a proximate E:bef nan interests, and that t o vill also be ready to maintain that basis in the 53 ia neasure as it will be made possible for them to do 5 .° 00 , their quality of members of the German Confederat t i . l o to form an unbiassed judgment on the points sv" l . e , might become the . object of contradictory views and Pot tensions, and which might cause the delay of, or even pill a stop to, the negociations. The Imperial Cabinet the share our opinions that a suitable representation Uf re, Confederation itself at the negociations would, therei°:jr• be a very efficacious measure, and therefore, very d e ' able in the general interests. The ambassador of the King to the diet will be 0 0 4 to express himself in the sense of the above reflectio,ro• the committee to which Count Rechberg proP°se,-ntlf (erring the declaration of Austria, and we conaue.,-ste hope that he will be thus put in a position to co-oPe'oto efficaciously to br;ng about a prompt and unan inl Et. resolution from the diet.

Count Orloff Is -expected on Sunday or Monday He was to leave St. Petersburg on the 9th, and n the journey there to Berlin is five days, he will probably have reached the Prus,ian capital this evening. Five days' incessant travelling fatigues any man, much more one who is near seventy, and we may reasonably' suppose he will remain twenty-four hours, if not more, at the half-way house. Lord Clarendon is expected on the 17th or 18th. Lord Cowley only intended remaining absent from Paris four days. It is said that during his stay in London he will attend the cabinet councils, and will receive his last instructions in company with Lord Clarendon. The presence of a Russian Envoy once more installed in the well-known Hotel of the Faubourg St. Honore has excited some curiosity, and a few groups stationed themselves there yesterday to see the show. They were disappointed, however, so far as Baron Brunow is concerned. Baron Brunow keeps himself a good deal on the reserve. He has been visited by several political personages, but, I believe, has seen very few, and to none has be been in the slightest degree communicative. To hear him speak. one would suppose, he was as innocent of diplomatic business, or of the state of the present negotiations, as an infant of a week old. He is reported to have said to a personage who will probably have something to do with the con ferences, that he really knew nothing whatever of the intentions of his government beyond what the public at large knew; that his ministry is but a subordinate one; that Count Orloff is the only man who knows the Bernier mot of his Imperial master, and that, in fact, he is as unacquainted with what is going on as the merest stranger.

The passports for Count Orloff and Baron Brunow are already waiting for them at Frankfort on-the-Maine. Mr. Julian Fane, who goe s t o P ar i s with the Earl of Clarendon, is likely to render goo ;1 service, as he must be perfectly well acquainted with every move that was made during the Vienna Conferences. •••••-• PRUSSIA The subjoined is a translation of a Prussian despatch addressed by Baron Manteuffel, the se, . is tho present English otticers.
