A thousand hats were raised as the Mayor slowly advanced to meet the ex-President, reading as he moved forward, according to the old English cus- tom when greeting notea guests, an address of formal welcome, repeating the deep, interest the citizens of Liverpool felt in having him among them, a8 an illustrions statesman and soldier, and asking him to accept the hospitalities which were eXtended in the name of the great commercial city he represented. THE ACCEPTANCE. General Grant waited a few seconds until the cheering had ceased, then quietly replied to the clvic address, saying he experienced extreme Pleasure in accepting the kind invitation extended, laying particular stress on this, that he felt they had expressed the cordial feeling of England toward him as a citizen of the United States. Grant , Wore civillan’s attire, somewhat to the disappoint- Ment of the crowd, who expected to see him decked in all the glory of the uniform of the army. After being introduced to the members of the Council and others, the Mayor, ex-President and Mrs. Grant entered the Mayor's state coach, driven and attended by the corporation funkeys in frills, kneebreeches, powdered wigs and three-cornered hats, and started for the Adelphi Hotel. ARRIVAL AT THE ADELPHI. A long line of private carriages followed, and Many of the spectators also, through Water and lime streets. In the vicinity of St. George's Hall new crowds had gathered and cheered" lustily as the Mayor's handsome but cumbersome coach turned slowly up to the main entrance of the Adelphi. Here more police were in waiting to keep off the crowd, and the guests were allowed to Pass to their rooms to change thelr apparel and prepare for a drive around the city. FIRST ROUND OF FESTIVITIES, This morning, at ten, he will visit the parks and public buildings, then inspect the docks at the re- quest of the Dock Board. At two P. M. he will junch with the Mayor at the Town Hall, where he will, doubtless, be treated to a good deal of speechmaking and, in ali proba- bility, also receive a semi-oMcial wel- come on behalf of Her Majesty’s government. On Wednesday he will be escorted to Manchester to inspect the cotton mills and receive the hospi- talities of that city, after which he will go to Lon- don by way of the Midland Railway in a special Pull- man car which has been placed at his disposal. MRS. GENERAL SHERMAN AT THE VATICAN. Our correspondent at Rome telegraphs that Charles Esling, Envoy, and Mrs. General Sherman, President of the American Ladies’ Committee, had @ private audience with the Pope, in the hall ofthe Vatican, at six P. M. on Sunday evening. A num- ‘ver of geographical maps were presented to His Holiness ; also $11,000 in gold, trom the archdiocese of Baltimore, and $5,000 from other dioceses, Several addresses and numerous private offerings Were made. The Pope received them sitting on a Portable chair, and replied to the speeches In quite agay humor. He was afterward carried out to the promenade. THE CITY OF BRUSSELS. The Inman steamship City of Brusseis has again en heard from. The HBRALD correspondent at Fiymouth says that Captain Meyer, of the Hamburg steamship Frisia, reports having spoken the Brus- sels on the 25th inst.-in latitude: S0deg. 48 min. North, longitude 16 deg. 29min. west. She was proceeding under full gait, The signals stated that all were well on board, and requested the German to report her a8 soon as possible. The strong westerly breeze now blowing will heip her to make laud soon. GERMANY STILL TAUNTING FRANCE, The HERALD correspondent at Berlin says that a significant communique appeared in the onticia! Journals of that clty on Friday morning last. In this communication the German government de- clares plainly and bluntly that no reliance whatever can be placed on the peaceful assurances which the De Broglie Cabinet has caused to be promulgated through the Duke Decazes, After tracing the his- tory of the recent intrigues it state: ‘The ultra- montanism and Orleanism combined in that Cabinet constitutes a threat which must be prepared for.” ITALY AND GERMANY. A special from Rome says:—‘*Although the assertion that Germany had arrived at any understanding or exercised pressure on the Itallan governmont is, per- haps, uatrue, Germany bas exercised a certain degree of pressuro. Germany dreads the possibility that the sympathies of tho Italian Court may incline toward France.” GERMAN BISHOPS IN A QUANDARY, A correspondent at Rome represents that the German bishops who are assembled at Rome to decido ‘ag to tho future policy of the Church in Germany havo received reports which show that the Berlin govern. ment 18 preparing for a struggie a outrance it the bishops show tbe slightest tendency to pursue a yet more hostile policy. The decisions they had arrived at have consequently been reserved for further con- sideration. THE CHURCH, RUSSIA AND POLAND. The Vatican is seriously bent upon decisive conduct against Russia, in order, if possible, to force her to make explicit declarations as to her religious policy in Poland. THE FRENCH SITUATION. The news from Paris 1s somewhat more reassuring, M. De Fortou, Minister of the Interior, addressing the mayors and heads of artments, atthe Ministry of the Interior, said the programme of the govern- ment may be summed up thus:—“Tho Marshal is order and peace,’’ LOOKING TO THE PATRONAGE. The displacement ot repablican prefects, sub-prefecta and other department officials continues extonsively, Nearly the entire number of profects bave now been changed. Three new ones are gazetted to-day, and sixty-nine changes of minor officals, [t is understood the additional changes in the administrative staff num- ber 270.

There has been no rain in Mysore, and the distress there 1s more futense. There bas been a considerable merease in the number on the reliet works tn Bombay and a slight tise in tue price of grain, but on the whole thero is little change this week in the condition or prospects of the famine distric s. CHAMPIONSHIP OP THE THAMES, The race for the championship of the Thames and £400, over the usual course, took place yosterday be- tween Rohert Watson Boyd, of Gateshead, and Jobo Higgins, of Shadwell, The race resulted in a victory for Boyd, The attendauce of spectutors was good, but the weather was very rough Astorm of wind and rain at halt the distance nearly threw both men out of their boats, When the men came out for the start the betting, which had previously been 2 to 1 in favor of Higgine, fell to 5 to4 and evens, with Higgins for choice, At the first stroke Boyd gained an advantage of nearly two lengths and increased it to three at the Point, fre at Hammersmith, and won by nearly a quarter of a mile in 28m, 24s, MME, TITIENS BETTER, The complaint from which Mme.

THE WAR. The Czar En Route to the “Army in the Field. AWAITING THE ONSLAUGHT. Decorating the Men who Destroyed the Turkish Iron-Clad. CAVALRY FIGHT NEAR KARS. Preparations for the Crossing of the Danube. BULGARIA AGAIN THREATENED. a Austria and the Navigation of the Danube. —_——-—— [2Y CABLE TO THE HERALD. ] Lonvon, May 29, 1877. The most striking feature of the news from the East this morning is the announce- ment regarding the Czar’s intended visit to the army of the Danube. Itis now gen- erally understood that the passage of the Tiver by the Russian troops will be delayed until the Czar’s arrival, so that the fixing of the 7th of June for his coming to Ploejesti gives a pretty defl- nite idea of the time when we may expect to hear of decisive operations on the Danube. _ THE CZAR TO TAKE THE FIELD. The HERALD correspondent with the Russian neadquarters in Roumania, at Ploejesti, velegraphs that the Emperor of Russia will arrive in that town about the 7th of June if the condition of the roads does not impede his progress. The Czur will be ac- companied by Prince Gortschakot, Secretaries Jo- mint and Hamburger, Genera! Miloutine, Minister of War; the Marechal de la Cour, Lieutenant Gen- eral Linovretf, the Aide-de-Camp General, Count Adlerberg, General Roux, the Aides-deeCamp Souvaroff and Vorekotf, General Menzinoit and Dr. Botkin, The Ozarowitch and the Grand Duke Viad- imir will also accompany the Emperor. : A BRILLIANT ESCORT, The escort will be composed of detachments of infantry, part cavalary and artillery and four squadrons of Cossacks and will be under the com- mand of Colonel Ozerot. The Prussian General Werder and the Austrian General Bechtolsheim will also have the honor of accompanying the im- perial party. THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA’S VISIT. The visit of the Emperor of Austria to the Czar at Ploejesti, which was announced some days ago as having been decided upon, is much talked of, but as yet no official announcement of the fact has been made at the Russian headquarters. The meeting of the Emperors is looked forward to with great futerest, as it will Coubtless have a direct inftuence on the future progress of the war. 4 DECORATION FOR GALLANT CONDUCT. The Russian lieutenants Denbaschot and Shes- tentot!, who performed such a distinguished feat by the destruction of the Turkish iron-clad by tor- pedoes in the Danube opposite Matchin, arrived at Ploejesti on Sunday, and received the Cross of St. George as a reward for their gallantry and skill. All the men under their command in the expedi- tion which had such a disastrous result for the Turks have also been decorated with crosses, The affair has naturally inspired the Russian soldiers with fresh confidence and enthusiasm. A despatch from St. Petersburg says:—‘The real facts of tho blowing up of the Turkish monitor are as follows:—Russian officers conducted the torpedo te the monitor in open daylight and under fire. One ot the Kassian boats was almost submerged by the ex- plosion of the torpedo, and another was struck by shot." a CAVALRY FIGAT WRAR Kars. Atelogram dated Erzeroum, May 27, say: “Ine recent cavalry fight ten miles from Kars the Russians Jost 150 killed. The Turkish loss is not reported. No news has been received from the direction of Van or Olu’? A Constantinople despatch gives another ver- sion of the affair, It says:—'‘A cavalry fight took place near Kars on Saturday between 2,000 Turks and 1,000 Russians. A heavy rain stopped the dght soon after it began. THE ASIATIC CAMPAIGN. A St, Petersvurg despatch says that oficial reports from Tiflis state that the greater part of the Turkish garrison of Ardahan bas beeu dispersed. Some ha: fied toward Batoum, stationary near Surpahanes collecting provisions, A despatch from Constantinople sa! “Tne Porte has received intelligence from the Sub-Governor of Lazis- tun (hat Ardahan has beon recaptured by the Turkish corps under Moussah Pacha.’’ ¥ The Russian Erivan column is The Standard’s correspondent at Constantinopie ex- | presses the belief that the nows of the recapture of Ardahan js authentic. PREPARING TO CROSS THE DANUBE. A despatch from Galatz received yosterday says:— “The Russians have moasured all vessels in the harbor here stating that thoy will shortly require them, They are sounding the river opposite here to-day. Many rafts bave arrived from the Serith all ready tor bridging purpo: Great numbers of fresh troops are expected to-night.’” The water is still rising Railway communication between Buzeo and Barboschi is imterrupied. Two large trains of infantry aro detained at Barboshi. Tho bridge over the Sereth is cousidered to be in a danger- ous Condition, The Sixth army corps, consisting of 35,000 men, which was to bave arrived here two days ogo, has been detained, owing to bad weather, Abdul Kerim Pacha, tho Turkish Commander-in- chuk, Varna, Shumla and Silestria that all persons who have not provisions for at least #ix months must quit within twelve days. A special despatch from Bucharest says it Is now certain the Roumanian army will not cross the Danube With tho invading forces, but will remaia on the Roumanian side to guard the right flank. A despatch from Rustebuk says large masses of Russians are visible to the northward of Giurgevo. A Belgrade spocial states (hat industrious search is being made from Gladova to’ the mouth of the Timok to find a titting place for the Russians to cross the Dan- ube, Two points have already beeu binted at, aud new fortifications are being raised on the Timok to protect the Rugsian march on Servian soil. DANGER OF MASSACKE IN BULGARIA. A Rustchuk correspondent writes as tollows:—“The twenty odd thousand troops of this garrison are the Perfection of soldiers, They are brown, open faced, big shouldered fellows, perfectly resigned to any fate Allah may have for"them, with perfect faith in the bankrupt government tor the chief of which they shout and salaam every evening at sunset, The dis- orderly Mosiem elemont is in @ state of great fury with tho Bulgarians and foreigners generally, The Christians ure frightened to death leat some imprudent member of their faith should provide the spark which might light up such a glare as would throw Batak into the shade completely. Even the Consuls have to be careful for thelr lives, Proofs of the extreme and dan- gerous tension of the relations between Moslem and non-Moslem could be given without end. Mr. Richard Reade, the English and American Consul here, who has never been accused throughout the late troubles of being in any way prejudiced against the Turks, but who bas been suspected of leaning the other way, thinks that matters are serious as they can be, and his urgent warnings are ignored both at Downing street and Constantinople, It is believed by some here that Russian influence, in the form of money, Is artfully planning a dreadful outbreak, and that those are no friend to the Turk who do not insist upon a stop being put to irregularities, the frm repression of which would give sutisfuction to decent Mohammedans and non-Mussulmans alike.”’ BNGLAND'S PREPARATIONS, A fleet of ten iron-clads is assembied at Plymouth, The iron-clad turret ship Thunderer bas returaed to Portsmouth with machinery disabled, Four thousand horse stalls for transport vessels are being delivered at Woolwich by a contractor, MUKHTAR WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE. Mukhtar Pacha is diers, does not want to be dictated to by drawing room geuerala, The Council of War which has beén lately appointed, and which sits in Constantingple, bas asked Mukhtar Pacha what bis pians were. He replied that there was‘a scheme in process of execution cer- tain to insure success, and beggeu to be left alone, THE TROUBLE IN CONSTANTINOPLE. AConstantivople despatch says:—*All excitement bas disappeared and everything is quiet, The order genuine Turk, and, like all sol- suspending the Levant Herald has been re- voked. Tho ‘Turkish Chamber of Deputies have unanimously passed a resolution that all the Ministers should be invited to atlend the sitting of the Chamber to consult with the Deputies upon measures which are urgently required by the miliary situation, Ismail Bey, atormer Governor of 'Tultcha, who was suspected of complicity in the Soita demon- stration, bus been arrosted and exiled to Broussa. Several others have been arrested avd banished, and seizures of arms have been made,” ‘The Sultan bas been advised by some of the diplo- matic corps to change bis Ministers. A CIRCASSIAN CONSPIRACY. A few days ago a number of Circassians jn tho Russian service were sent home from Roumania. It ‘was represented at tho time that they were discharged ‘on account of lawless conduct toward the Roumanians. The Vienna Deutsche Zeituny now asserts that a con- Spiracy was discovered among thom, and a colovel has been expelled from tne army and tive other officers shot at Krajova. A CORRESPONDENT IN DANGER. ‘ A correspondent at Rustchuk explains the Incident recently reported from Coustantinopie about the Briusa Consul striking @ Turkish officer. It seems this correspondent with one companion crossed in a sinall boat from Giurgevo and were urresied by a Turkish naval officer. They were seriously threatened by a Moslem mob, The Consul came to the rescue and pushed the Captain out of his way, when the latter tried to stop bim. The correspondent thinks tbat the Consul’s vigorous mousures alone prevented them be; ing thrown into the Danube by the mob. THE NAVIGATION OF THE DANUDE The semi-oflicial Vienna Montags Revue says:—'‘The principle of free navigation of the Dauube is intimately connected with the vital interests of Austro-Hungary and should be respected by the belligerents, Russia concurs In this view, and has given distinct and ro- esauripg explanations on the subject. Turkey, how- ever, has not, apd the orders given by the Turkish eutnorities are of a nature to call forth a most decided protest on the part of Austro-Hungary. This country is entitled to tnsist thatno difficulties should be raised beyond the immediate requirements of military opera- tions, and that such restrictions sbould not be ex- tended further nor remain in force longer than strictly pecessary. Eventually they must be entirely removed. Austro-Hungary is justified In expecting bindihg engagements from tho Porte concerning the freedom of navigation as prompt and complete as those already given by Russia, The claim of the Porte that vessels belonging to the Euro- pean Commission of the Dunube should hoist the Turk* ish flag 18 impracticable; the international character of the Danube excludes the idea of placing it under the sovereignty of the Porte, Instructions in accordance with the above views have been sent to tho Austro- Hungarian representatives at Constantinople and Bucwarest, UNSTABLE GREECR, A despatch from Athens says the Greek chambers opened yesterday. The opposition is very strong and tho position of the Cabinet extremely insecure, A later says that the Ministry were defeated in the Chamber of Deputies and announced their resigna- tions, A large crowd assempled under the windows ot the Royal Palace yesterday. Speeches wero de- livered urging military preparations and the forma- tion of a strong ministry. The King was absent at the timo of the demonstration, A Constantinople despatch has the following: ‘The Turkish fleet, numbering nivetecn vessels, has arrived atCrete, Its stated that Greccy has sent a note to tho Porte asking that the same privileges should be | accorded to Thessaly and Epirus as to the Slavonic province, ‘Tho Porte replied that the only privileges they had a right to were already accorded by the con- stitution, Greece coinmunicated a second note stating that as the present war might prevent the Porte carry- out the constitution Greece demanded guarantees, The Porte has not yet replied to the second note.’” A correspondent at Athens sends the following ac- count of the demonstration:—“A crowd, estimated at five thousand to ten thousand, fillod the square before | the palace, demanding from the King stroug and war- Nike measures. After waiting two hours tour delegutes were adinitted toth: Palace, The King replied that now, as always, he had the national wellaro at heart and would form # Ministry acceptable 10 the people, ‘At last accounts the crowd was still shouting discom- tentedly betore tbe ce.”” VAGUE PRACK RUMORS, Bucharest special says;—-‘‘!Le rumors of peace are becoming more clearly deflued. ‘It is asserted that negotiations are actually going on in Berlin tor the cessation of hostilities, It certamly will be singular if all these reports turn out w be entirely unfounded, Some of them bave actualiy emanated from oficial quart at. Bucharest, War move- ment, however, aro being pressed forward as in as the weather will permit, and there is not mach confidence felt that peace will be made until alter a Turkish defeat on tho Danube, even if the Berlin ne- gotiations ure really going on, MISCRLLANKOUS WAR NOTHS, A despatch from Berlin says the steamer Essen, owned by F. Krupp, of Kiel, and laden with Krupp guns for Cronstadt, toundered off Sweden, A Bochurest special says there were three railway accidents in Roumania on Sunday, and lives lost in each. A Bucharest desnateh says tbat railway communica- ion on the Lbrail and Galatz line is not yet restored, It 1 reported that the Pope hag ordered prayers in the Roman Catholic churches in Bosnia for the sue. cess of tho Tarks. Considerable sums of money are arriving in Bel- grado from Russia, i hau THE NICHOLS DIVORCE.

NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1877—TRIPLE SHEET. WASHINGTON, FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixctox, May 28, 1877. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO, A good deal of exaggeration has marked recent re- Ports of the attitude of the Uuitea States toward Mexico, Ithas been represented, for instance, that the war steamer Plymouth was ordered to New Or- leans to receive on board a special bearer of despatches to Mexico, who was to convey to that government something in the shapo of an ultimatum as to the outrages on the border. The simple {act is that the communications of the State Department with Mr, Foster, our Minister in Mexico, go as usual by the regular mati route, and herve taken no special channel in any recent instance. It is true that the goveroment is in correspondence on the subject of the border disturbance, but #0 it has been ever since General Diaz succeeded to the Presidency de facto, He is anxious to be recognized by the United Stat and has so expressed himself through his friends, but not in an official way, as our government sustains as yet only iniormal relations with bim, ‘The United States !s not unwilling to take advantage of the present situation of affairs to renew and insist upon its demands for the pacification of the Rio Grande border by the exercise of a proper force from within the Rupublic of Mexico, and the ability of Gen- eral Diaz to satisfy these demands will be taken as a criterion of hig right to be rocogn zed us the President of Mexico, If his goverument is not ablo to fulfll treaty stipulations then his government 1s obviousig no government and will not be recognized. So far General Diaz bas been full of promises, and the United States is not unwilling to take Lim at his word. He is certainly in better favor than he was month or two. ago, He has paid promptly, tbrough Mr. Mariscal, the instalment of the Mexican indemuity last due and he has been for- mally declared President by the Electoral College and duly inaugurated. All this 1s a long step toward prov- ing his claim of President de jure, bus it will not avail him eventually if his government is so weak that it cannot fulfl treaty and international obligations and put an end to tbe incursions into Texas, This will be the sine qua non ot recognition by the United States, Commenications to this effect have been forwarded to Minister Foster, and will be by bim made known informally to the present de facto government of Mexico, ‘The mission of General Ord to Washington and hie instructions as to bis future course on the Kio Grande will ail wait upon the solution of this first problem in the question of our relations with Mexico. No unfair ad- vantage will be taken of our sister Republic, especially as its appeals for toleration and forbearance have been mado on the ground of recent intestinal troubles, whicn bave weakened tho power of the government to do its duty by its neighbors, But our further forbearance will continue only as long as it Is shown that this weakness is pleaded in good faith and with a sincere inteation, backed by a show of effort, to destroy the cause of an- noyance, WHY DISTINGUISHED STATESMEN ARE IN WASH- ‘INGTON, The presence of Senator Conkling and Congressman Foster im Washington is accounted for without any theory of political intrigue.
