THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The Times says the immediate object of Nesselrode's
last circular is to disarm the suspicions and the resistance
which the late measures of Russia have excited all over
europe. He disclaims any idea of conquest, and pro-
tests that the occupation of the Principalitieslis merely a
temporary measure which will cease the moment the
demands of the Emperor are satisfied;and the maritime
powers have withdrawn the pressure they now exercise
upon Russia. It speaks of the position taken by the two
powers in the ports and waters of the Ottoman Empire,
within sight of the capital, as a species of maritime occu-
pation which gives Russia a,reason to restore the balance
between their relative situations by taking up a military
position. A more shallow and unscrupulous misrepresen-
tation the Times never met with in a state paper. The
concluding passages contain an eloquent and impassioned
declaration of the ardent desire of the Emperor Nicholas
to preserve the Turkish empire. Thy'. sincerity and
wisdom of the Russian. Government would have stood
higher if it had omitted these assurances, for its policy on
almost every occasion, for upwards of a century, tended
to precisely the opposite result; and' we are distinctly told
in this document that if Turkey perseveres in refusing
what the Russian Government still urges as its fixed de-
mand, the Emperor will think himself compelled to ex-
tend his measures beyond the limited circle to whirl. he
means at the present to confine them.

The Porte denounces the note, and says "We have
seen falsehood in Russia's assertions—we have seen
fanaticism in her appeals to the Almighty—we now find
menace to• our honour, and insult to our flag. England.
would fain have peaee,buL she is ready for war; and peace or
war, whichever betide, her resolution is, that the faith of
treaties shall be respected ; that the honour and safety of
Turkey shall be ensured; and that internationallaw shall
be observe& inviolate!'

The Chronicle says the circular may well justify grave
solicitude for the future.

The Daily NewB condemns the note as " impudent and:
untrue."

The Princess Lenchtenberg, daughter of the Emperor
of Russia.arrived at Dover on Saturday night.
The Pi:ris papers contain no additional news from the
East. They continue to disbelieve the new attitude attri-
buted by the Pays and some other journals to Austria on.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The receipts into this port, coastwise and from Ireland,
Since Tuesday last, include a moderate quantity of Flour,

foreign Wheat, however, we have to note a tolerable
import, chiefly from the south of Europe and Egypt, with.
a good supply of Indian Corn thence and the United
States, the latter furnishing also 8,837 barrelsond Franca
1,145 sacks of Flour. -
At this day's market there was a good consumptive,
demand ior Wheat, without any material alteration from.
the closing prices of last week, but the turn was rather
in favour of the buyer. For Flour the demand was not
so good as we have experienced for the last fortnight, and
it may be quoted 6d per barrel cheaper. In other axti
Iles n.o alteration worthy of notice.
