PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
Tht: following telegraphic despatches have been
received. to-day :
" 2fIAILSEILLES, 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 Katniesh 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 p!i• cent., and be reimbursahle in 1858. The
news from Sebastopol is to the 31 The bombard-
meet is itan:6nent. The allies have 503 pieces of
cannon ready to open fire. Omer Paella had re-
ceived 10,033 English muskets. Eupatoria was
formidably fortified.
" MARSED;•LES, 166.—The Carmel, which left
Constantinople on the sth, brings accounts that
the departu re of the Egyptian division had been
delayed until the 3d, in consequence of contrary
winds. The Ott-man squadron was preparing to
rejoi a the Allied fleets: The details given of the
dispersion of the iesorgent Kurds state that. Elmi
havitNg attacked the two Beys, who were at
the head of ,10,000 itisurgeot.i, carried their en-
trenchments. at the poiLt of the bayonet, and pnt
1,809 of the ii:nsurgents hot.) de combat, took 2,000
prisoners, an c 15,003 muskets, and the same number
of sabres. On the following day Dejireh was oc-
cupied by -We Turkish troops, and the insurgent
Beys sent t, a demand an amnesty. Tlic;r lives
' were spared on cond:tion that they would restore
all the property they bad pillaged."
" VIENNA,. 16TH.—The Russ!an instructions did
not arrive on Saturday as was announced, but they
are elpected. to-day. A report is current that
Austria will perhaps remain neutral. The Austrian
.Gautte adds tbat this neutrality would not be pos
sible unless France and England should extend the
interpretation of the 3d plint."
The Empero r and Empress arrived at Calais last
evening at a quarter past nineo'clock. Their Ma•
jesties were re 3eived 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 neighbout lug streets, hailed the, Impevial tra-
vellers with tlae most respectful acclamations.
The following is from a letter, dated Paris yester-
day, 6 p.m.
I am assurcd that an official telegraphic despatch
has been received this morning, announcing that
the fire of all the batteries, French and Euglish,
opened on- the 9th against Sebastopol, and that it
commanded the fire of the besieged, and " that
General Cantobett writes, the morning of the 10th,
stating that all was going on very well.
The hi oniteur publishes, as we yesterday men-
tione-1 it would, the second on the E-stern
question, and whiCh you will probably -have re-
ceived before this reaches you. It is froth the
_same hand as the previous one, and no doubt a
entertained of M. de Laguerroniere being the

There was a rumour abroad to-day of Russia
having positively refused to accept the third article,
and that consequently the COD f.erences 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
tizat 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 iu the same state of prepara-
tion, and a3l 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 believe, flme:l for the return of the General to
Paris. . I believe I do net 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
binder part, with head erect, showing her teeth,
and witti watchful eye, attacking no one, but ready
to spring on the first, whoever be 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
demee
.which creates a foutil batta'ion to each in-
fant.y ree,-rment in the French army.
The Wanderer of Vienna contains a letter from
before Sebastopol of the 2d, which says :—" The
Generals of the two armks, 'nee Gor:.schakeff
and General Caurobert, rival each otherin
Both of them, pass hours together in the midst of
the workmen, in orr to encouidge them.
Courage, mes enfh
ans, said General Ca.- rb bet t
lately to the French soldiers ,at works you are
diggingn grave for the enemy.' An enthusiastic
CV of Vivo Canrobert !' was the reply. On the
22d ult.' a Russian officer bearing a flag of truce ap-
peared before the French advanced poets: On being
conducted to General CAnroberc, he id 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 kiln
might be made prisoners. General Canrober
was,much enraged at this act of tre:lson ; be sent
the (Aker off to Constantinople, but set the men
at liberty, after the affair bad been explained to
to them by a Russian pi;F)nor."
A letter from Pera of the 2d, in the Payi,
says:--
"I have alt _•ady mentioned to youth° little sympathy
which the inhabitants of the Principa'hies entertain for

anti the dis!iko of the t-eua .
Tue ill feeling between the two has led to a end affair
folltw.ed by )ising at Krajowa. An Austrian °Weer
perceived a Wallachian lady at a window.; struck by her
beluty he entered the house end aced rudely towards
her. The husband hastened to defend his wife, and a
ilurri-el ensued, in which the husband was killed by the
officer. When this became known all the popu-
lation took up rrms. The Austrian authorities,
when called on to do jristice, would not consent to pu-
nish the officer, on which the Wallachians 'determined
to do justice themselves. A veritable battle took pla,!e,
and more than '3OO Austrians perished. The Turkish.
authorities bad to interfere to establish order.. Since
then K'ajowa has resembled a besieged town. The
shops rre cldsed. The Wallachians occupy the interior
of the town, and the Austiians are' encamped outside.
A deputation has baen sent to Con'tant.inople 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
is the pay of Austria.

a ortat number of the most diit Mu,covite ro-
b .ity. You see that the Goveroment is the, hasteninJ to
acz: trop'ish the underial:ing or the Emperor Niehot,. It
iy doing the same with all the e-t,-roti,ea NVII;C:1 v.ere
founded or commence" in his time. Tie Emperor Al,x-
ander, in fact, cari !es them on with soar energ7 that he
seems anxious to prove Volt he th..i!es notcieg so ar-
dently as to itley:t'fy himself with all tie ideas of his fa•
ther. It was Baron de Stieglitz, the C ,krt hanker, ,th
proposed to erect in the iSi.ock Extthange a moi,u 'tent
to the late'Emperor, as a protestor of commerce. The
Emperor has conferred decoration on ahn-,stall the per-
sorages of distinction who have been sent here to cot--
eratulate hint on his acee,si,n to the throne. To
General Pi 'nee Bei ohard Sohni Bratifet,, from the
Kirg, of Hanovor, be has given the o,tler of Saint
Alen;nder Newski ; to Count Munich, the IMacshal of
the Court of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, that of the

General Grunwald has arrived from Warsaw, The Em-
peror A.'erander has or ler, d the M.nister tit the Impe•iai
tlon.ehold to leave untouched the aoa,runect4 of, the
late Emperor; and for the present, fir the sake of eon-
nnoy, no change will he iffected the state apartments
—cur in those which the pre,ent Emperor occupied
dor'ng his father's time. The Minister of War has
je-t ordered immense supplies for the army. The Grad
Duke Constantine is very active ; and he consult::
the Emperor on all that concerns the maritime defence-
of the country."
A letter from Odessa of the 31st ult. states that
General Serniotine, the chief of the staff, has
resigacd, on account of,tlie state of his health, and
that he vial be replaced by General Uschakoff.
• - THE WA [t IN ASIA.

The Corriere Italiano of Vienna says :—" It
aupgars that. Schamyl begins to again give signs of
life. The Russians are concentrating their troops
in the neighbourhood of Tiflis, in order to guard
against an imminent. danger with which they are
threatened by an unexpected movement of the
tribes. Vessels are also every day arriving from
Constantinople with arms and anununition, which -
are distributed to the inhabitants of Mingrelia and
.Abasia."
A letter from Trebisond, of the 16th ult., in the
Trieste Gazette, says :
" Account; have begn received from Erzeroum of the
real causes of the late rising in Knrdistati. They arts
partly attributable to the imprudent conduct ancLwant
of good faith of the local author Wes, but more particu-
larly to
.the oppression which they have exercised to-
wards the inhabitants. A noted chief, named Eddin
Sehir, who hr,d been made prisoner by the Turks in a
former revolt, but who had obtained his parrkn at the
commencement of the present war, was allowed to re-
turn to Ms country, on condition that ho would raise a
corps of 1,000 infantry and 600 cavalry, to fight in the
rardcs of the TrirkiAli arny. He wiv promised, as chief
of this corps, the fixed pay of 3,500 pie.s:tres a month
(the piastre is not altogether five sou,), and the
funds for the pay and supply of his corps. These trim
wala recruited principally in the mountainous. dist Acts
of the Pachalik of Mo-soul, and the Deflentlar of that
paid to Eddin ScYr a sum of 200,000 piastres
on account, in an order on the trca3ury of Pjesire).
When, however; Erldin Schir arrived at Djesireh he
found no money, end the chief of the district had fled,
to Sacha, twelve leagues distant, in the direcAon of
Arnadijeh. Eddin Sehir, finding himself thus treated,
did not hesitate to take possession -of the district of
Djelreh. He bean by, arresting the President and the
members of the Medschli, and a terwards bastinado. d
seven of the principal inhabitants with such crudity tl a.
four of them died under the infliction. He afterwards
aidtestled a'letter, written in a tone half threatening,
half submissive, to the Governor-General. of Kurdistan,
who resided at Diarbekir. The latter immediately sent
to Kars to obtain troops, but could not procure any.
In the meantima Osman Pacha, the Governor of Mar-
din, appeared before Djesireh with 5,000 men, bet
he was completely defeated by the insurgent,, and left
400 men dead on the field. Previous to this victory.
Eddin Sehir had sent a second letter to the Gover-
nor at Diarbekir, which was very cenciliatory, and
full of protestations of devoteduess to the government of
the Sultan. The Governor-General of Kurdistan was
disposed to ent•Fr into negotiations, first, because ho felt
that the bad conduct of the authorities had cawed the
using, and next, because he had not sufficient forces to
oppoli the movement. Wishing, however, to satisfy
himself as to the good faith of the insurgents, he sent a
person to ascertain the real s!ate of things, and then found
that the only object of Pddia Schir was to gain time in
order to collect a larger force, which he had in the in-
terval done, and had commenced besieging M4rdin, and
also Midiat. the chief town of a district between Diar-
beldr and Djesireh."
