THE WAR.

DEPARTURE or FUSILEER GuAßDs.—The Guards left
te Southampton barracks at 7 30 a.m. Passing by
Buckingham Palace to the Waterloo station, they were
accompanied by an immence concourse of people. The
battalion leaves Portsmouth this afternoon.
The Times leader says the governments of England
and France have resolved to address the Emperor of
Russia a formal summons, calling upon him to give within
81z days from the receipt of that communication a solemn
Promise and engagement that he will cause his troops to
evacuate the Principalities of the Danube on or before
me 30th April. The couriers left London and Paris yes-
t.PaY morning. They will pass through Berlin and
~..I.erina, whence it is understood that similar demands
tut be forwarded at the same time by the Cabinets of
Prussia and Austria. The refusal on the part of Russia
to comply with this just demand, or to return a fitting
aIISIVer will be regarded by the powers as a declaration of
vvar. It is calculated that this communication will reach
„St. Petersburgh in nine or ten days. Very possibly the
term Nicholas will not avail himielf of the formal
of six days which has been extended to him, as there
can be no doubt of the purport of his answer. At any
rate, in less than three weeks that answer will be known,
Ind the forces of the allied powers, which are already on
'olr way to their respective destinations will be in a posi-
tion to commence hostilities.
„The English fleet will proceed early in March to the
A
~,attegat, and await the opening of the Baltic. Sir Charles
Napier will be first, and Commodore Michael Seymour the
second in command.
It would be wise and politic to restore the Isle of Alsen
to the Scandinavian monarchies ; and the Times hopes
the Swedes may endeavour to recover the provinces
Vested from them.
, The first two columns of about 8000 men each will ern-
p_ark simultaneously at Toulon and Algiers, while the
British division is making its way up the Mediterranean.
Telegraphic news from Constantinople of the 13th states
that, the Porte acceded to the convention proffered it by
,„"gland and France, so that on their arrival in the
Turkish territory the troops will be received under the
Provisions of a specific engagement with the Turkish
Government. In a second leader on the probability of
Greek ships taking letters of marque, the Times trusts
?al' men of war will treat them as Sir James Brooke did
Elie pirates on the coast of Borneo. Should they take
refuge in the ports of Greece, or should it be found that
.rraainents are fitting out at these ports with the manifest
Intention of pursuing that bloody game, it will be neces-
`arY to take some decided steps with those ports, so as to
secure them from being put to this use for the future.
PA.RIB, MONDAY.—Bourse risen. Threes, 67 85 ; Four
and a Half per Cents, 96/.—Lord Raglan arrived on Sun-
`LaY, and would leave on Monday.
toST. PETERSBURG, FEB. 18.—It is said that Sir Hamil-
ton Seymour left without seeing the Emperor, having
demanded told his passports were ready. The French envoy
enlanded to he treated in a similar manner, but the Czar
expressed a wish to see him, and invested him with the
order of St. Alexander Newsky. The wealthiest families
ft. Petersburg asked leave to raise a regiment of in-
-I'Y at their own expense. Their wish was acceded to,
and they were allowed to name their own officers. An
ukase enjoins all naval officers on pensions to rejoin the
service. Many Greeks have been entered into the Russian
service ; and great advantages have been held out to the
Jews to induce them to enter the navy.—lt is stated that
a last and energetic attempt would be made to buy over
solve of the Turkish Ministers before a treaty can be
signed, finally committing Turkey to the French and
,4dlglish alliance. In such a case a revival of the treaty of
111dar Skelessi, excluding all but Russian and Turkish
ops from the Dardanelles, would be a primary stipula-
Lion.

eoNsTAITTINOPLE, FEB. 17.—The French and English
voys have sent two steamers to the assistance of the
an , and probably the Gulfs of Contessa and Salonica,
ai zptlkit_coast of Albania will be declared in a state of
„.-Che British Minister at Athens has informed the
Bary:',vovernment that England will interfere, if neces-
O,Lio restore order in the insurgent districts. The
ko:" in Epirus pulled down all the crescents from the
ftnd performed divine service in them. Austria
13rA„,respect the neutrality of Servia unless insurrection
""as out.
