EXPECTED ATTACK ON ERZEROUM.

Omar Pasha will soon disembark at Trebizond, and as soon
as the weather shall have improved, he will march on Erie•
num. Moukli Pasha has been despatched to organise the
defence of the latter place, where 20,000 men are now con-
centrated.

General Williams has get out for Moscow, where he will re•
main a prisoner.

The Morning Post, in a leader headed, "Is there to be
peace or war neat spring ?" discusses the questions likely to
be brought under consideration. It confesses it can see for
Russia no such hope in the future as to lead it to think she
is not seriously earnest in her wish for peace on any terms
that Europe may recognise as not unreasonable. If the Allies
do not suspend their preparations, she has no resource but to
sign their terms of peace.

PERSIA.

As Constantinople letter of the 17th, states that, it was
thought that the negotiations opened by the Porte to remove
the difference between Mr. Murray and the Persian govern•
went, would, in a few days, be brought to a successful issue.

THE PEACE NEGOCIATIONS.

The Times' Vienna correspondent writes,, that a French
diplomatist had stated that the propositions were so thoroughly
discussed by the English and French Governments, before
they were sent back to Austria, that both Powers are morally
bound to consider them conditions of their own making.

The prospect of peace has produced an almost instantaneoul
effect in all the commercial. harbours of France in cotton and
colonial articles, and gave rise to extensive transactions at
Havre, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Marseilles. A similar move.
meat took place in the industrial districts.

LEEDS CORN MARKET.—Tura Dir.

The supply of grain was small. Wheat meets a moderato
consumptive demand at about the rates of Friday. Barley
held for full prices. Oats and Beans a limited sale. Other
articles unaltered.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tme DAT.
Our supplies of all the leading articles of the trade have
been considerably increased since the middle of last week, the
thief additions being in Egyptian Wheat, American, Indian
Corn, and American Flour.
The renewed steadiness noticed last week applied more par.
ticularly to the provincial markets of the kingdom. At the
dose the tendency in most of the country districts was towards

improvement, and growers are represented as averse to
meet reduced prices with free supplies. In many of the out-
ports, however, business still remains exceedingly dull, and
Hark-lane being reported equally inactive, we had yesterday
here, in the face of a large weekly import and somewhat in-
creased shipments advised from the United States, an almost
entire suspension of transactions. Wheat and Flour, though
held for previous rates, might have been bought on easier
terms ; and Indian Corn fell ls. per qr.; a few sales only in the
merest retail being practicable.
At the market to•day little nit:no business was done, there
being a general disinclination to purchase, notwithstanding
that holders were willing to accept lower prices. Wheat may
be quoted fully 2d per 701 b. and Flour per barrel lower.
Oatmeal is quite a urug, and at least 1.. per load cheaper.
For Indian Corn no inquiry, and quotatios reduced Is. to tk•
per quarter. In other articles a similar i- activity.
