PARIS, MONDAY EVENINO.

The grand review, in honour of the King of Por-
tugal, went off exceedingly well. I never saw
the Champs de Mars more crowded. Numbers
of well-dressed ladies took their places on
the terraces among blouses and caps. The
King of Portugal rode a dappled grey horse,
rather a weedy animal, which, by the side of the
Emperor's splendid charger, did not show to great
advantage. His juvenile Majesty sat his horse very
well. The whole area of the Champs de Mars was
filled by the troops.
MARSEILLES, MONDAY, EVENING.

The Indus has arrived with Constanticople news
to the 28th of May. The Turkish government is ne-
gotiating a new loan. It is rumoured that Aali
Packs, who was recently appointed Grand Vizier in
the place of Reschid Pacha, has resigned. The re-
organisation of the army of Anatolia continues. It
now consists of 3,500 men and 130 guns. The Kertch
expedition was commanded by the English General
Brown. The troops effected their landing on the
south side of the town. The Russian garrison, about
10,000 strong, retired in dismay. The governor
carried off the archives. The town was occupied by
the Allied troops, who found in it 41 guns spiked.
The Allies are repairing the fortifications destroyed
by the Russians. An expedition from Kertch to
Kaffa is very seriously thought of.
Letters from Kamiesch are of May 26. The last
of the Sardinian regiments have arrived at head-
quarters. In the night of May 21-22 we attacked
the Russian ambuscades on our extreme left, in front
of the Central Bastion. The Russians energetically
defended themselves, and the works were taken and
retaken five times over. In the morning of the 22nd
the enemy's artillery forced us to retire, bat in the
folowing night we again attacked the works and
carried them. We are now no longer exposed to the
guns of the Quarantine Fort. General de Salle.
commanded the attack. Oar loss was very sensible,
amounting to 600 killed and 2,000 wounded, but the
Russians lost 1,500 killed and 6,000 wounded.
The voltigenrs of the Imperial Guard displayed
immense elan and heroism, but they suffered consi-
derable loss. The health of the troops is exce,lent,
and the weather fine.
The following telegraphic despatch appears in the
' Petrie :
" VIENNA, 111 NE 3.

"The Western Powers, in rejecting the Austrian
propositions, have declared that they confider the
negotiations as completely exhausted, and that the
question must now be settled by the sword."
The Bourse was in an extraordinary state ts•day.
Notwithstanding a rise of i per cent. in Consols, and
a report that, in consequence of an immense accumula-
tion of money in the vaults of the Bank of England,
a further lowering of discount will take plane this
week, and that Consols may be expected to rise con-
siderably—the Rents was very heavy. It declined
55c., closing at 70fr. 40c., within a fraction of the
lowest price of the day. Some people explain the
fall by the peculiar state of the account; but it is
also said that the decidedly unfriendly attitude of
Austria is at length exciting uneasiness in monied
circles. Railways fell considerably. Orleans, 20fr.;
Eastern, lsfr.; Lyons and Mediterranean, 12fr. 50c.1
Southern, 15fr. Austrian railways fell iOtr.
