PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The following private telegraphic despatch
_have
been received here :

"MARSEILLES, 28th, Evening.—The camp of
reserve of 25,000, which is being formed by
General Vivian at linkiar Skelessi, will be com-
posed of the Turco-English legion and of Turk-
ish regulars. The English officers will reside
in the Russian Palace of Buyuk Dere. The
Austrian squadron, under the command of the
Archduke Ferdinand, is shortly expected to
arrive at Smyrna, after having first touched at
Greece. The Duke de Brabant is about to visit
the island of Crete, after which he will return to
Belgium. M. de Lessens, is about to return to
France from Egypt. The firman relative to cut-
ting through the Isthmus of Suez has not yet been
published. Several arrests have lately taken
place in Greece, in consequence of the discovery of
a plot against the life of General Kalergi."
" MARSEILLES, May 28.—The Simois has arrived
from Constantinople, with Gen. Monnet on board.
She brings news from that city to the 21st. General
Vivian was organising a camp of 25,000 men in
the plain of Unkiar-Skelessi. It will be composed
of the Turco-English Legion and of Turkish
Regulars. The English officers will reside in the
Russian palace of Buyuk Dere. The last news re-
ceived at Constantinople from the Crimea was to
the 19th. Numerous reinforcements were arriv-
ing. The French were encamped at Kasatch and
Kamiesh. The Sardinian troops had disembarked
at Balaklava. Omer Dacha was expected with
25,000 men ; Sefer Bey had already arrived at
Kamiesh. Preparations were making for an ex-
pedition to the north of Sebastopol, the object of
which was to cut off the communications between
Sebastopol and the Russian camp. General Bouat
had returned to the Crimea."

The Debats says:—
"The expedition to Kertch, it is but just to remark,
was first conceived by General Canrobert, who had al-
ready ernbaiied 12,000 men for that parpose, when a
despatch from Paris led to their return. General Pelis-
sier has now executed it with,,;the co-operation of some
English force:, and the operation, has completely suc-
ceeded. At the same tim(re7hat the new General-in-
Chief is carrying the army fo4ard, he is also pushing
on the siege works with vigour. As the combined
army of the three powers, including Turkey, may be
now estimated without exaggeration at 180,009
fighting men, if not even at 200,000, from the rein-
forcements which are constantly arriving, there is every
reason to think that the campaign in the Crimea will soon
lead to some cf those great conflicts which exercise a deci-
sive influence on the progress of a war or on future policy."
A letter from before Sebastopol of the 15th, in
the Presse d'Orient, says :

" At the end of several councils of war held at head-
quarters between Genr Canrobert, Lord Raglan, Omer
Pacha, and General 116,,t, Marmora, it appears that a
determination has been crone to to attack the Russians
outside Sebastopol, and in the end to invest the town
completely. Everything tends to the idea that such is
the plan adopted by the generals-in-chief; and the feel-
ing here is that no better one could be devised. The
operations will not, however, be without difficulty, for
the heights of the Tchernaya are tremendously fortified.
Omer Pacha, it was determined, should leave without
delay for Eupatoria, and bring forward his troops
from that quarter, in order, in the first instance, to
make a diversion on that side, and afterwards to effect
a junction with the allied forces coming from Sebastopol.
It appears that the reinforcements which the Russians
have received of late are far from being as considerable
as was stated. At the present time their numbers are
not perhaps very much superior to those of the allies. It
is this very day, I understand, that Omer Pacha is to
take his departure from this place. During the last two
days the rain has completely ceased, and the weather is
magnificent. The general health is excellent."

A letter from Therapia of the 17th, in the Moni-
teur, says :—" A contract has been entered into
between the Ottoman Government and M. Lionel
Osborn for the establishment of a submarine tele-
graph to unite the Dardanelles to Egypt."
