THE WAR

The Himalaya and Manila, with the Foot Guards on
board, had not arrived at Malta on the 7th instant.

General Canrobert was to leave Paris last (Monday)
evening. He expects to arrive at Gallipoli between the
20th and 25th instant, with his division.
Telegraphic advices from Odessa state that 70,000
quarters of whoat have been bought at that port to com-
plete the loadinc, of the ships there, the government
having intimated that they would allow exportation to go
on until the 13th instant.

The Morning Chronicle's Braila correspondent writes
on the 27th of February. The passage of the Russians on
the right bank of the Danube, between Braila and Galatz,
will take place almost immediately. Gortschakoff, who
left for Galata on the 23rd inst., inspected troops at
Ismail, which we may shortly expect here. A corps
of 50,000 men will be concentrated at Braila. Con-
tracts have been made for provisioning the army. A
quantity of iron and chain cables have been purchased for
the construction of bridges. All to be delivered within
the shortest delay possible.
ICALA RASCH, OPPOSITE SILISTRIA, Mlown 4.
About 1,200 Turks crossed the river in three places. They
met about an equal number of Russians, and, after an
engagcqaent for some hours, and dismounting several
Russian guns, they retired to the right bank. At Bucha-
rest, on the 7th, and Krajova on the 9th, there was no-
thing new of importance.
BERLIN, MONDAY EVENING.—The President of the
second chamber put a question to-day to the minister as
to the course which the government intended to take in
the impending war. M. Manteuffel answered that the
government will soon make proposals to the chamber,
which will give an opportunity of explaining the course
hitherto taken by the government, and in which it will
persevere. Prussia is on terms of amity with France and
England.

VI ENNA, MONDAY EVENlNG.—Austria was invited to
join the western powers in an alliance against Russia.
She forwarded the proposition to Prussia with modifica-
tions to the following effect :—" She does not feel herself
called on to join the western powers in a declaration of
war against Russia, but is prepared to sign a convention
securing the integrity of Turkey in the spirit of the treaty
of 1841. Austria will maintain peace in Servia,
Montenegro, and Bosnia, leaving it to the testern powers
to care for Greece and the Greek provinces in Turkey."
It appears from an article in the Austrian Correspondez
of Sunday that Prussia approves this.

PARIS, MONDAY.—The budget shows an excess in the
receipts of 5,952,000 francs. The Bourse opened with a
tolerably strong, rehdency to rise in prices, but realization
of profits led to. decline. Threes closed 66.70; Four and
