CONVOCATION OF THE PRUSSIAN

DIET.

GERMAN DECLARATION.

(By the IBectrio Telopaph of the South Boater* Issotway.)

(From cur own Correspondent.)

I send you the following important intelligence
from the C'elogne Gazette of 3rd of March, dated
Berlin, Feb. 29. h :
A courier from St. Petersburg arrived this day
at the Russian Embassy. The contents of his des-
patches were immediately communicated to the court,
where they made a very. profound impression. It is
asserted that the courier brought the intelligence
of the serious illness of the Emperor of Rus-
sia. Prussia is making extraordinary mili-
tary preparations. The Prussian Diet will be
immediately convoked.—A monetary panic is ex-
pected in Hamburg. There were no quotations of
the Frankfort Bourse on March lst.—The Baden
government have announced the abolition of the
censorship, establishment of a civic guard, and the
introduction of the jury system.
Brussels is perfectly tranquil.
We have just received by express, from Cologne, a
copy
.of the proclamation of the German Diet on the
let instant. All Germans are exhorted to be
united ; and measures, it is said, will betaken to preserve
peace at home, and the Confederation from invasion.
Disturbances have broken out in Carlsruke ; several
arrests have been made.

LivearooL, March 3.-Ezclusive of a few parcels of
Oatmeal, we are nearly without arrivals of British and Irish
produce since the commencement of the week ; the foreign
imports, at the mane time, being almost wholly confined to
a limited supply of Indian Corn and Corn Meal from the
United States. The duties came again into operation os
the lot instant. and, according to the present position of the
averages, the impost for the week ending 9th instant is, on
foreign Wheat, 65., on other grain, 2e. yid., except Indian
Corn, which is fixed permanently at Is. per quarter'
on Flour, 31. 71d. per barrel ; on British colonial
grain, Is. per quarter ; and on Flour, 415. per barrel.
During the put two days Indian Corn has been is good re-
quest, with the turn in favour of sellers ; and other branches
of the trade firm but not active. Influenced mainly by the
present meagre arrivals, the Wheat trade this morning as-
sumed an increased degree of stability, and although we had
not many buyers from any part of the country to-day, a good
extent of business was tran'.acted, chiefly in the middle and
lower runs of foreign Wheat, partly for investment, and at
an advance of Id. to 2d. per 701 b. : fine descriptions of foreign,
however, continued to be offered at late prizes ; whilst supe-
rior qualities of English and Irish, in the absence of supply,
may be c .nsidered the turn dearer. States Flour, being in
rather better request, and Irish more readily disponi of,
both fully maintained our last quotations. Barley, having
moved off somewhat more freely, partly exceeded the
rates of Tuesday. Malt dull, at former prices.
Beans were again rather depressed in value, except
Egyptians which improved 6d. per qr. Peas little noticed,
and the turn cheaper. Oats and Oatmeal, upon a fair de-
mand, and good qualities of the farmer scarce, cash fatly
supported the terms last noted. Indian Corn still "meeting
a lively demand for Ireland, the secondary and lower deserip-
dons were Is. per qr. higher, and fine parcels held at &slight
amendment. Corn Meal steady,tbut not dearer. Arrivals
into Liverpool from the 29th Feb. to the 2nd March inclu-
sive: Wheat, 80.5 qrs. ; Malt, 37 ; Oats, 241 ; Indian Corn,
2,087 ; Indian Corn Meal, 2,445 barrels; Oatmeal, 2,900
sacks; Flour, 77G sacks.
