PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.
The followlng private telegraphic despatches
have been received to-day :
" TarESTE, Bth, Evening.—A packet has just ar-
rived bringing accounts from Constantinople to the
30th. The French hospitals in that city had re-
ceived orders to prepare 6,000 beds. The inten-
tion manifested by Omer Pacha to go and take the
command of the army of Asia has not been agreed
to by the Porte. Sherif Pacha has left in the
hands of the Russians all the provisions which had
been collected on the road from Kars to Erzeroum.
Kars has been again invested by the Russians,
who hope to gain possession of it as it is only pro-
visioned for 20 days. The Porte has given up the
idea of recruiting soldiers among the Rayahs."
" VIENNA, Bth, Evening.—The accounts Which
have been received here from Sebastopol announce
that preparations were being made on both sides
for some important affair."
The Patric says that private despatches have
reached Paris, dated the 4th, to the effect that the
Allied 'fleets were about to operate against Revel ;
but no later despatch confirms this statement.
Prince Napoleon yesterday visited in the Exhi-
bition Palace the machinery in the gallery on the
Quai, de Billy. He was attended, as usual, by
several members of the Imperial Commission, and
by some of the foreign commissioners, and members
of the International Jury. The Prince examined
with the greatest attention all the various machi-
nery which was at work for planing, sawing,
boring, morticing, and other operations ; in fact,
machines for almost every kind of work. Not
farther back than 1815 not a single machine of the
kind was known in France. The hammers of
different kinds, worked by steam, attracted, above
all, the Prince's attention, particularly that for
beating gold leaf, which works with a regularity
and brings the gold to a thinness almost incredible.
The sawing machines were also. the object of
great admiration, from the precision and rapidity
of their movements. The Prince, before terminat-
ing his examination' repeated what he had before
recommended, that a plentiful supply of steam
should always be at command, in order that none
of the machinery should be found at fault.
The Monitetcr publishes four decrees. The first
opens to the Minister of War an extraordinary
credit of 300,000 fr., the estimated amount of the
expense of the fete f the 15th August, to be divided
among the families of the killed in the army of
the East ; the second orders that leave of absence
to comular or vice-consular agents and dragomans
shall for the future be granted by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs ; the third sanctions the formation
of the Water Company of Havre, and approves of
its statutes ; and the fourth approves of the forma-
tion of the company formed at Havre, under the
name of Compagnie des Paquebots a Vapeur du
Finistere.

A letter from Athens of the 31st ult., in the
Moniteur, says :
"The Chamber of Deputies has adopted the bill for
the construction of a railway from the Pirmus to Athens."
