GENERAL GRANT At BRUSSELS.
NOT AS BAD AS REPORTED.

LONDON, July s.
Concerning the situation on the Dam
ube, we have no new information from
any quarter, except denials of the first
has,v reports of the rapid advance OF
the Russians. Tirnova is not in their
hands, nor likely to be Immediately,
as the Turks probably mean to hold
the line of Zintra if they can, and Ilr-
nova is very favorabiy situated for
strong defenSes. The hghtlng thus
far reported cannot have amounted TO
much more than the o%utpostS. for the
Russians are not yet prepared for Sc
rious work. The Turkish quadrilater-
AL remains intact, and not less threat
ening to the l2O, 200 Russians said to be
across the Danube at Sistova, than if
General Zimmerman had not crossed
at Ibrail and swept the Dobrudscha.
His 0,000 men must count with the
garrisonS of the three fortified posi-
ions of Kustendje, Silestria and Narna
Nothing Is yet known of the Turkish
dispositions except that the headquar-
ters remain at Shumla, where Redit
PaSha, Minister OF War, has Joined
Abdul kerim, and a council has been
established, under whose direction the
campaign will be prosecuted, and pos
sibly with more vigor h heretofore,
as the only good quality generally
conceded to Redit Pasha is energy.
The Turkish Danube tlotilla remains
supine, While a single pontoon bridge
at Sistova is permitted to supply a
large Russian force with provisions
and wal materials. The bridge is re
ported so weak that it has broken of
its W weight several times in the
past week. one iron clad in deter
mined hands might place the Russian
army in n desperate shape, for the
country along the Turkish side of the
Danube would not maintain them
many days. Nearly all accounts from
the seat Of war in Asia Minor agree
that the Russians have met with seri-
Gus reverSeS. but their position does
not seem To be as thoroughly compro-
missed as would be inferred from the
earlier dispatches via ErZeroum. The
mos sinister feature OF the Russian
situation is the almost utter absence OF
official bulletins from Grand Duke
Michael, which hitherto Kept us in
formed of the progress of the Russians.
The siege of kars has not Deer raised,
and the latest Turkish bulletins do not
give lllo IIftpiCSSiOb thdt NhdNlildi
Pasha feels himself strong enough to
undertake its relief.
LONDON, July S.
There was an uncontirmed umo Of
the Pope'S death on Paris Bourse
Saturday afternoon. \ special from
Paris says it caused uneasiness and
depression. but prices recovered to
ward the close. All of the circum-
stances indicate that the rumor was
merely circulated for stock jobblng
purposes.
BRUSSELS, June s..
The King is visiting General Grant
to-day, and Will give a state dinner in
his honor tonight. General Grant
will depart for Cologne Monday morn
ing.
LONDON, July g..
1t is said that the Government has
information hat the Russians intend
to occupy Co%nstantinople at all risks
unless the Turks antici pate that event
by making peace on the Cars terms.
The effect of this and other intelligence
AS to Russia's intentions has been to
modify very considerably the view
taken of the crisis by certain members
of the Cabinet. The practical outcome
will probably be that 1.-THE more active
members should feel bound to adopt
an active policy it will no longer be
opposed
The Sultan, recently at a privae audi
ence declared to the British Represent
alive that he would not guarantee pro-
lection to Christians ii the Russians
continue to excite rebellion in Bulgaria
and perpetrate atrocities in Asia Minor.
