bringing dates from Liverpool to 7th January. is
below. Flour advanced two to three shilliips.

corn advanced eighteen pence to two shiilings Pro-
visions firm. Cotton firm and full prices, as per
previous steamer. Money stringent. Consols 92E.
Breadstuffs of all kinds active and firm American

The steamers Atlantic and Andes have arrived
out; they had heavy weather. The rumored death
of Mr. SoULE was unfounded. There have been
unusually heavy SHOWS and rains all over England.
France, and Belgium; the SHOWS being the heaviest
for many years, floods were apprehended.
Eastern affairs are more complicated and war
like. From Constantinope and ST. Petershurgh the
intelligence is contradictory. The latest rumors
leave scarcely any hope that the Gar will accept
the last proposition of the Western Powers, and as
natural consequence, there are greatly increased
probabilities of a general European war;
France and England are much excited, and Ger
many, Poland, and Hungary also
No further fighting had taken place, but it is be-
lieved that negotiations will prove abortiye. Ex-
tensive recruits and preparations being made for
war, which extend throughout Europe
The Paris Moniteur contains circular of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated the 18th Decem-
Der, addressed to all the French Legations, on the
Eastern question. The document is moderate, but
very firm 1t narrates the phases of the question: and
declares that France, England, Austria, and Rus
sia solemnly recognised the territorial integrity of
the Ottoman Empire and further that the affair at
Snope took place against all the provisions Of this
guaranty Therefore, to prevent the Ottoman ter
ritory and fag from new attacks from the navy Of
Russia, the French and English fleets have been
ordered to enter the Black Sea. The circular ter
inmates with the hope that Russia will not expose
Europe to new convulsions.
The papers automatically state that the French
Government is dissatisfied with the evasive conduct
OF Austria, and has addressed to that Power a
strong remonstrance intmating that further seclu-
sion from the proceedings of the other Powers will
be taken as meditated hostilities the resukof which
Austria must be prepared to abide, and that France
will extend aid to Hungary, Italy, sc.
The Paris papers report that the Czar has given
orders for the crossing of the Danube, whics for
bids the hope of his acceptance of the last noe Of
the Western Powers. The latest advices from Con-
stantinope express but little hope Of the renewalof
negotiations.
Authentic intelligence confirms the previous reporta
that the Porte had accepted the Note from the Four
Powers The official acceptance of the Porte says that
he does not object under certain conditions to an armi-
stice, but insists upon the evacuation of the Prncipa
ties and the maintenance of the Turkish sovereignty He
for the purpose Of revising existing treaties and also to
consider the propety of further ameoraton in the con-
dition Of his Christian subjects.
The deliberations of the Turkish Dvan continued three
days When the result transpired umu in Con-
stantinople mob of three thousand men, led by Ule-
mas assembled to present remonstrance declaring the
Scheriate Constitution violated by the Council. For
time riot apprehended and force of marines from
the English and French called to Consan
tnope. On the 22d proclamation was issued by the
Sultan which restored quiet Several Of those who
posed the mob were arrested and banished.
Definite intelligence relative to the action of the Car
daily expected at London. Intelligence from ST. Pc
tersburgh to the Goth states that the Emperor had for
may rejected the Vienna protocol and the note Of the
5h but he consented to examine the Turkish proposition
of the 20 although he refuses recognise the right of
European Intervention in Russian and Turkish affairs
On the '25th the allied feet had not yet entered the
Black Sea- in consequence of the tempestuous weather.
The instructions to the Commanders of the combined
fleets are that in the event Of meeting Russian ships Of
war they will in the names of their respective Govern
ment request the Russian commanders return to &c.
bastopol where he will find further instructions from the
Russian Government should the request return be
fused force ,ril be used.
The Russian statements affect not to feel the slightest
alarm about the movements of the allied fleets and say
that their entrance Of the Black Sea will be the signal for
simultaneous outbreaks in india Algeria, Greece and
Greek insurrection throughout Turkey oil being ready
organized by the agents of the Gar
No operations Of magnitude have taken place in Asia
lately though small skirmshes between the ouposts
of daily occurrence. ...s.-
Russian dispatches say that the Turkish army in Asia
is totally disorganized and the troops had killed Sehm
Paeha and Gen. Guyon This however, is not credited
Turkish accounts acknowledge the evacuation the Rus
sian territory in Asia without loss
