FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, June 28.-The Times saws the
neutral states are painfully interested bv
the report that the Russians have been
violating the laws of war. by the infiction
OF wanton injury. If they deliberately di-
rected their guns against the consulates
and defenceless parts of Rustchuck their
guilt is surpassed only by their folly, and
that folly would be all the more glaripg
because, If as reported, they continued to
fire on the English consulate after the con-
sui hoisted the American flag. 1t is
strange they would haye gone out of their
way TO assail power peculiarly friendly
to themselves. 1t is difficult to believe
the Russians would have deliberately in
ttlcted such outrages, aud it is we'll to re
member that similar charges invariably
accompany every bombardment.
LONDON, June 28.-After Ex-President
Grants return from Liverpool he has no
special engagement until July SO. On the
4th OF July Minister Pierrepont will give
reception at his residence exclusively to
Americans in London, when Gen. Grant
will be present. Next day he will go to
Paris.
