(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
Thefollowing private telegraphic despatches have
been received here to day :
MARSEILLES, 23.—The English steamer has arrived
here from Constantinople with sick on board. She left,
on the 15th, but brings nothing from the Crimea later
than that brought by the 0-iris. A heavy gale of wind
in the Black Sea had caused the delay in the arrival of
the de-patches. Some private letters, however, give
move details of the events of the siege, and the Constan-
tinople journals had published supplement; with news
from the Crimea to the 12th. The arrival of Omer
Pacha on the 9th with the Egyptian divison before
Sebastopol is confirmed. The loss of Coe French
on the first day of the bombardment is estimated
at 100 .killed and wounded. The overflowing of the
Tchernaya, by which the valley has been inundated,
prevents the Russian army from crossing it in order to
give assistance to the garrison. Fires had broken out
in several parts of the town. Colonel de Beville has
been invited to visit the palace of Balta Liman, which
has been newly and entirely decorated. Part of the
en riages of the Emperor had arrived at Constantinople.
The town of Brotissa has again suffered severely from
further shocks of earthquake. There were no fewer
thin 150 shocks. The fire wa.; consuming the ruins of
the town.

VIENNA, 23,1.—The Conferences are provisionally
suspended on account of a want of accord on the third
point. Lord John Russell leaves to-day. According
to accounts from Sebastopol of the 17th the botnhanl-
ment continued with success, and it was thought that
the a.sault would take place in a week from that time."
FRANKFORT, 23d.—Lord John Russell is to arrive
here on Wednesday ; his apartments have been engaged
for that day.

" The Camp equipage of the Emperor was sent
off yesterday to the south," says the Constitutionnel,
"by the Lyons Railway, in charge of a certain
number of employes of the Men us-Plaisirs, who
before their departure were provided with a com-
plete uniform."
The Princess Mary Bonaparte Valeutini arrived
in Paris yesterday from Perugia, in the Papal
States.

" Letters from London inform us," says the
Saint Public of Lyons, " that Queen Victoria,
instead of coming to Paris for the opening of the
Exhibition, as had been expected, has postponed
her visit to the end of September, in order to be
present at the solemn distribution of prizes which
is to take place at the commencement of October.
This determination has been taken partly from
political motives, and partly from the fact that the
preparations for the Exhibition cannot be com-
pletely terminated by the day fixed for the opening.
Herr Majesty, during her stay in France, will pass
some days at the palace of Fontain bleau, where
grand fetes are to be given in compliment to her
Majesty's visit."
Count de Reyneval, ambassador of France at
Rome, arrived at Marseilles on the 21st by the
Neapolitan packet the Capri.
The Suffren, line-of-battle ship, left Toulon on
the 21st, with troops and stores for the East.
