THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

The Times, in its comments, says the President is evidently
no more inclined to plunge the union into war for any trifle
than we are, and the Times believes and trusti.that the states-
men of both countries will leave nothing undone to arrange
differences without a sacrifice of honour on eithei side.

THE WAR..

PROBABLE RUPTURE BETWEEN ALTSTRIA AND

RUSSIA.

The semi-official Dresden journal publishes a despatch from
Vienna, in which it is said that Austria declares inadmissible
any alteration of the Esteihazy basis of peace. It adds that
as Russia is not expected to make any further concessions,
diplomatic relations between Austria and Russia will in all
probability be suspended. Gortschakoff is preparing to leave
Vienna.

VIENNA, Monday.—Count Buol, in notifying to the ambas-
sadors of the Western Powers, the probable rupture with
Russia after the 18th January, adds that under no circum-
stances will Austria take the field with the Allies during the
present year.
The Times, in a leader, says that Russia has renewed last
year's tactics, and remarks that we are now in a position to
make a peace tolerably satisfactory to ourselves, but moat
injurious to Austria and Scandinavia. We must either make
war with those powers to back us, or peace without them.
Russia meant undoubtedly.to sever us from our Allies ; but
she has given us the opportunity of uniting the alliance more
closely than ever by using the proposal she has made to us
with a view of promoting disunion and discord, as a means of
enforcing the most entire action under penalties of isolation
and of danger. •
No later news of importance.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—This DAY.

Both Irish and English markets are quoted dearer for
Wheat at the close of the past week, with more general firm-
ness in other grain also ; partly on account of the great im-
provement caused by the frost iu the condition of Wheats from
the farmers. Millers have been satisfied not only to pay an
advance, but to purchase more freely in all the county dis-
tricts, but at Mark Lane yesterday, though improved values
were obtained, the tone of the trade elsewhere does not
appear to have been fully responded to.
The American markets are nearly without change of prices.
The stated exports of Wheat and Flour direct to Great
Britain are still moderate; but thoie for the continent of
Europe, including moderate;
of cargoes calling for orders at
British outports, and which are understood to be for conti•
nental account, are large.
We have no further imports from abroad to note since Fri'
day last ; but there has been a good :irrival of Oats and
large one of Oatmeal from Ireland. Ti e trade here since out'
last has been firm, and a fair amount of business has been
done in Wheat and Flour, the currenc'es of that day being
rather exceeded for choice qualities, r.nd Indian Corn has
acquired an advance of 3d. to 6d. per quarter.
At the market to-day there was a slow trade in Wheat and
Flour at the prices of Friday last. Indian Corn may be quoted
ed. per quarter. Oatmeal without change. In other article.
very little doing, without alteration in value.
