(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The following telegraphic despatches have been
received to-day :
"MARSEILLES, 16th.—The Carmel has just ar-
rived with accounts from Constantinople of the
sth. The Admirals have sent off all the ships to
join the fleet at Kamiesh to take part in the cam-
paign which is about to open. The Porte having
already expended 300 millions is issuing paper-
money for 18 millions, which will bear interest at
10 per cent., and be reimbursable in 1858. The
news from Sebastopol is to the 3d. The bombard-
ment is imminent. The allies have 500 pieces of
cannon ready to open fire. Omer Paoha had re-
ceived 10,000 English muskets. Eupatoria was
formidably fortified.
"MARSEILLES, 16th.—The Carmel, which left
Constantinople on the sth, brings accounts that
the departure of the Egyptian division had been
delayed until the 3d, in consequence of contrary
winds. The Ottoman squadron was preparing to
rejoin the Allied fleets. The details given of the
dispersion of the insurgent Kurds state that Ehni
' Pacha, having attacked the two Beys, who were at
the head of :10,000 insurgents, carried their en-
trenchments at the point of the bayonet, and put
1,800 of the insurgents hors de combat, took 2,000
prisoners, and 5,000 muskets, and the same number
of sabres. On the following day Dejireh was oc-
cupied by the Turkish troops, and the insurgent
Beys sent to demand an amnesty. Their lives
were spared on condition that they would restore
all the property they had pillaged."
" VIENNA, 16TH.—The Russian instructions did
not arrive on Saturday as was announced, but they
are expected to-day. A report is current that
Austria will perhaps remain neutral. The Austrian
Gazette adds that this neutrality would not be pos-
sible unless France and England should extend the
interpretation of the 3d point."
The Emperor and Empress arrived at Calais last
evening at a quarter past nine o'clock. Their Ma-
jesties were received at the railway station by the
prefect of the department and the mayor of Calais.
A numerous crowd, assembled on the place and in
the neighbouring streets, hailed the Imperial tra-
vellers with the most respectful acclamations.
The following is from a letter, dated Paris yester-
day, 6 p.m. :
I am assured that an official telegraphic despatch
has been received this morning, announcing that
the fire of all the batteries, French and English,
opened on the 9th against Sebastopol, and that it
commanded the fire of the besieged, and that
General Canrobert writes, the morning of the 10th,
stating that all was going on very well.
The Moniteur publishes, as we yesterday men-
tioned it would, the second article on the Mastern
question, and which you will probably have re-
ceived before this reaches you. It is from the
same hand as the previous one, and no doubt is
entertained of M. de Laguerroniere being the
author.
There was a rumour abroad to-day of Russia
having positively refused to accept the third article,
and that consequently the Conferences would soon
be closed. I cannot learn that there is any offi-
cial confirmation of the fact ; • but whether it be
true or not at this moment, it is hardly doubted
that it will be true in a few days hence, as few
indeed believe that peace is possible.
The Emperor's departure for the Crimea is now
considered quite as certain as his journey to Lon-
don. Everything is in the same state of prepara-
tion, and all ready to start at three hours' notice.
A. letter from Marseilles announces that every-
thing has been prepared in that port to receive his
Majesty, and the letter speaks of the Emperor's
departure as beyond all doubt.
Colonel d'Olberg, attached to the special mission
of General de Wedell, is still in Paris, but no day
is, I belief() fixed for the return of the General to
Paris. I believe Ido not misstate the opinions of
those who represent Prussia here in saying that
they do not believe that Russia will ever consent to
the proposition of the limitation of her power in the
Black Sea, and I am pretty certain that they highly
approve that refusal. They think that Russia is a
match for all Europe. As to Prussia, they affect to
believe that, whether the issue be peace or war, she
will still be able to maintain herself in the same
"high position " she has hitherto maintained, and
that it the war continues she will succeed in pre-
serving her neutrality in spite of all Europe.
" She is," says a Prussian diplomatist, "like a
noble animal of the forest, sitting motionless on its
hinder part, with head erect, showing her teeth,
and with watchful eye, attacking no one, but ready
to spring on the first, whoever he may be, that me-_
naces or irritates her." Such is the portrait drawn
of Prussia by those who must be in the secret of
her councils.
The last Bulletin des Lois contains the Imperial
decree which creates a fourth battalion to each in-
fantry regiment in the French army.
The Wanderer of Vienna contains a letter from
before Sebastopol of the 2d, which says :—" The
Generals of the two armies, Prince, Gortschakoff
and General Canrobert, rival each other in activity.
Both of them pass hours together in the midst of
the workmen, in order to encourage them.
' Courage, ones enfans,' said General Canrobert
lately to the French soldiers at work, ' you are
digging a grave for the enemy.' An enthusiastic
cry of Vivo Canrobert !' was the reply. On the
22d ult. a Russian officer bearing a flag of truce ap-
peared before the French advanced posts. On being
conducted to General Canrobert, he said that
he only made use of the white flag in order to
be able to quit the Russian camp, and that the
six men whom be had ordered. to follow Wm
might be made prisoners. General Canrobert
was much enraged at this act of treason ; he sent
the officer off to Constantinople, but set the men
at liberty, after the affair had been explained to
to them by a Russian prisoner."
A letter from Pera of the 2d, in the Pays,
says
_ .

"I have already mentioned to youths little sympathy
which the inhabitants of the Principalities enterain for

the Austrians, and the dislike of the Austrians to them.
The ill feeling between the two has led to a sad affair
followed by a rising at Krajowa. An Austrian officer
perceived a Wallachian lady at a window ; struck by her
beauty he entered the house and acted rudely towards
her. The husband hastened to defend his wife, and a
quarrel ensued, in which the husband was killed by the
officer. • When this became known all the popu-
lation took up arms. The Austrian authorities,
when called on to do justice, would not consent to pu-
nish the officer, on which the Wallachians determined
to do justice themselves. A veritable battle took place,
and more than 300 Austrians perished. The Turkish
authorities had to interfere to establish order. Since
then Krajowa has resembled .a besieged town. The
shops are closed. The Wallachians occupy the interior
of the town, and the Austrians are encamped out.ide.
A deputation has been sent to Constantinople to com-
plain to the Sultan of the foreign occupation. How this
affair will end is not yet known here, but it has caused
a great sensation."

A letter in the Independance Beige speaks of the
above affair, but states that it was not Austrian
soldiers, properly so-called, who acted so impro-
perly against the inhabitants, but some Croatians
in the pay of Austria.
