PARIS, SUNDAY
The Emperor's voyage to the Crimea is said to
be positively given up.
By an Imperial decree, an extraordinary credit
of 9,500,000 f. is opened to the Minister of Public
Works for the part of the expense, which devolves
on the State, attendant on the opening of the
Boulevard du Centre, the prolongation of the Rue
Rivoli, d✓c.
The screw line-of-battle ships Tourville and
Duquesne, which are to form part of the French
Baltic squadron, left Brest on the 26th for Cher-
bourg.
The Carmel steamer of the Messageries Imperiales
left Marseilles on the 26th for Constantinople,
having on board 350 gendarmes of the Imperial
guard, and 72 large cases, some of them containing
the tents of the Emperor, their furniture, and his
Majesty's field service. Several persons belonging
to the Imperial household accompanied these cases.
Vely Pacha, lately Turkish Ambassador at Paris,
embarked with his Suite on board this vessel.
" Inforafation has been received," says the Sen-
tinelle of Toulon, "that 10,006 men are shortly to
arrive in this port to embark for the'Crimea. At
least an equal number are to embark at Marseilles."
A letter from Varna, of the 18th, in the Mora-
teur, completes and explains the intelligence given
in the London papers of the line of submarine
telegraph between Varna and Balaklava. It says:
—" The telegraphic wire will not start precisely
from this place, as was at first intended. Experi-
ence has shown that vessels, anchoring in the road-
stead, might get foul of it, and damage the line,
and a decision has in consequence been come to
that it shall be carried to Cape Kalagria, about 35
miles to the northward of Varna. From that place
a submarine wire will run along the coast to a
place called the Monastery, close to this town, and
be united by a line on shore to the wire from
Varna to Bucharest.
A letter from Kamiescb, of the 14th, in the
Moniteur de la Flotte, gives the following account
of the flying attack made by an English and French
frigate on the fortifications of Sebastopol, nearest
to the harbour
At about nine o'clock last night the Valorous, Eng-
lish steam frigate, boldly steered in towards the Russian
forts, and every eye was directed towards her move-
ments. On arriving within proper range she suddenly
opened her fire and we could clearly distinguish a com-
plete volley of shells fall in the town. The Russians
did not at all expect this attack and it was therefore
several minutes before fort Constantine returned a shot.
As to fort Alettander and the Quarantine batteries, they
did not fire, until a second broadside had been delivered
by the frigate, which after following it up by two
others, returned to her anchorage outside without having
sustained any damage. At about one o'clock in the
Morning, the French steam frigate Caffarelli got under
weigh and performed the same manceuvre as the Valo-
rous. The Russians were, however, on this second oc-
casion, more on thelalert, as the gunners Were at their
posts, and the two rows of casements of fort Constantine
were lighted up which produced a very singular
effect. The Caffarelli fired four broadsides in rapid suc-
cession, and then steamed back to her anchorage. The
Russians returned the fire pretty actively, but the vessel
was only struck by one shell and suffered no material
injury. The diversion caused. by this last attack was
very opportune, as at the very moment when it took
place a very sharp fire of musketry was going on between
a battalion of 23d Light Infantry and the Russians, who
were obstinately defending some rifle pits which the
French soldiers had received orders to take."
