THE WAR.

There is no later telegraphic news from the Baltic,
Turkey, or the Black Sea.

A rumour is current in Paris of the capture of Sebas'
topol, but it scarcely deserves notice. The admirals coo'
ceive in opinion that it must be taken by a combined 04
and land movement. There seems to be no doubt that
the Russfan operations before Silistria will be greatly in'"
peded by the rising of the Danube, which has already
done great damage to their siege works.
SCUTA.III.—The body of Lieutenant Macnish had been
found.

The Herald's Constantinople correspondent writes thst
the finances of the Porte get into a worse condition, 11
possible, every hour. The same writer complains of the
tardy dispatch of the English artillery to Turkey, withot,
which the troops are comparatively useless.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—Tnis DAY.
Our fresh arrivals are exceedingly light ; except a few
thousand quarters of Maize, we have nothing in from
America the, past seven days. The trade has been firm
since Friday, with a fair business in Flour, large transac-
tions in Indian Corn, and the Value of each rather higher.
At the market this day there was a good consumptive
demand for Wheat, Flour, and Indian Corn. Wheat sold
steadily at the rates of this day week ; Flour may be
quoted 6d. to ls. per barrel dearer ; and Indian Corn was
ls. per quarter in advance. In other articles there was
apparently little doing, without alteration in prices.

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.I

THE WAR.

VIENNA, MONDAY--
EVENING.-it is reported, from
Russian sources, that, on the 29th, 30,000 Russians made
a fresh and vigorous attack on Sili stria, but were repulsed,
with the loss of 3,000 men. The eldest son of Count
Orloff was among the slain.
The troops are to be in their positions on the Galician
frontier by the 19th instant. Provisions have been made
in Galicia for 120,000 men and 40,000 horses.
The immense magnitude of the armaments of Austria
in Galicia and Transylvania, and the accumulation of
stores and provender for troops in the field appear to an-
nounce that before many weeks have elapsed the conduct
of that power will leave no further room for uncertainty
or distrust.
Odessa letters repeat that no blockade was considered
to exist.
A Times leader says, according to a Bucharest despatch,
of May 31st, the Russians had withdrawn out of gunshot
range of the walls of Silistria, and it was thought some
weeks would now elapse before the fortress could be re-
duced. The Times considers it improbable that Omar
Pasha and the allied generals contemplate an immediate
advance, unless the late events before Silistria should have
altered the arrangements made at Varna. The position
of the Russians becomes more uncertain and perilous on
their flank and rear.
ATHENS, MAY 28.—Canaries refused to enter the new
ministry. The arrival of Mavrocordato is expected with
impatience.
There was a report in Paris yesterday that the Swedish
squadron had received orders to combine its force with
the allied fleets in the Baltic, and that the Swedish minis-
ter at St. Petersburg had demanded his passports.

PARIS, MONDAY.-All securities lose considerably.
Funds closing 74.95, and 994.
The Times city article says, it appears the recent rise
in Peruvian stock has been caused by an attempt on the
part of the government of that country to induce the
English bondholders to promise £1,000,000 sterling of
home debt, lately created under circumstances of the most
flagrant character, to be introduced on the London market,
in consideration of their being allowed to participate in
the proceeds of an extra sum of 15s. per ton put upon the
price of guano. It seems, however, hardly possible that
the new device should meet with more success.
With regard to the complaint of the scrip for the new
bonds being in inconvenient amounts, it appears the issue
was made, after full consultation, with the leading persons
in the market, and in express conformity with their
wishes. When the scrip receipts are exchanged for bonds,
the latter will be in various amounts, analogous to those
of Exchequer Bills.
