feelings OF surprise and modification. Both

the governor OF Acadia out of his own private
fortune. The equivalent of thousand beavers
was negotiated at Boston and Chambly was
released.
The Flying Horse, gorged with the plunde,
of Acadia, and having its governor and his
chief officers on board, sailed for Boston,
Captain Aernouts applied for leave to come III
to town to report his ship and dispose of hi

commission which authorized him to make
conquest of French territory. Gov. Leveret

acquainted with his conquest in Acadia HI
suffered him to bring the Flying Horse into tn,
inner harbor. The colony gladly purchased thu
cannon taken from the ruined Forts for the Gas
tie which had been destroyed by fire a few
months before. The inhabitants of Boston
purchased the rest of the plunder.
No sooner had Capt Aernouts reached Bos
ton, than the Boston fur traders applied to hin
for leave to trade in Acadia now New Holland
This was refused. The subordinate Dutcl
officers and men claimed that the conquest ha'
was valuable, belonged to them. The Bostol
traders however hurried away their vessels t

airy grace and TACT managed to evade any dlihcnity
as to precedence at Marlborough House. The grace
and tact of the Prince of Wales are well known, but
no amount Of tact Will avail to hide the fact that one
man goes out to dinner behind another. THIS MARI
borough House dinner was given to the Emperor Oh
Brazil. Gen. Grant was a guest, an honored guest
certainly. but not The guest His presence went to
enhance the splendor of the civilty offered to the
Emperor of Brazil not the Emperors presence TO
enhance the splendor OF Gen. Grants reception IL
is believe, true that the Duke of Cambridge has
asked Gen. Grant to go to Aldershot and offered TO
review division for him.
Whether discuss this subject too lightly or TOO
seriously | really cannot tell There was much 10
be said on both sides. There are plenty OF Englsh
people who think Gen. Grant would have occupied
more dignfed position If nothing had been urged
about etiquette, and no fuss made about where he
should SIT and who should make the first call There
will doubtless be still more Americans to take tho
same view even though they do not hear the ripple
of laughter that runs along the facial surface IN
London when this topic is mentioned. still am
inclined to think that Mr. Pierrepont was, on the
whole right. | don't mean that ms Judgment or
taste has never been at fault, but that his efforts
have resulted IN securing for Gen. Grant more bril-
liant reception than he could have had on different
footing. Any fault the side of too much anxiety
about mere ceremony has been abnndantly compen-
stated by the simplicity of Gen. Grants OWL manner.
Everybody sees that 1t is not he who occupies HIM
self with social sOlemnties.
His appearance at the opera last night did not
draw crowded house. The evening was badly
choseu and Gen. Graut had other engagements; stlli
he went. The audience, which half filled Covent
Garden rose to receive him, aud the singing OF tho
Star Spangled Banner by Mile. Albani was as good
"a any performance of that meager ditty could be.
1t was supposed that Gen. Grant would remain at
the Legation as the guest of the Minister, but this
proved mistake. With his wife and son the Gen
era has shifted his quarters, and is to be found at
Gen. BadeauS house, as indeed had been arranged
from the start This change in nowise interrupts the
round of feastng other pleasures upon which they
had entered Gen. Badeau has long been known in
London and has affinity for great people as close
as Mr. Pierreponts. with perhaps not less appetite
for ceremony. He IL, moreover, near friend of his
former chief, and in every way competent to take
charge of his movements while the lonizlng lasts.

LONDON, July 4, 1877.
The report that the siege of Kars has been raised
is at least premature but the defeat of the Russian
field armies Of the left and CENTER and OF the invest
ing force before Baum, is beyond question,
and altogether is likely to interfere WITH
IL not terminate, operations against Kars
The latest Turkish news about kars is that
the bombardnent has been materially slack

Russian and Turkish, it looks if Gen. Tergukas-
offs column the Russian's left is endeavoring TO
reach Kaggsman either to gain fresh line OF COM
muncation in place of the via Bayazid, which is
in the hands of the Kurds, OF TO unite with Gen.
Metikoh7s command and abandon the attempt to
flank Erzerum via the Euphrates Valley.
CONFLICTING REPORTS MADE.
St Petersburg dispatches deny that the siege of
KaIs has been raised. The Government publishes
dispatch from the Russian camp before Kars, bear
ing tO-day's date describing successful attack OH
Turkish battery.
Mukhtar Pasha. however, has sent a long series of
dispatches to Constantinope describing the victor
ions advance of his own and tie right column. In
the last dispatch, dated Adrianople. July 8, he
saws: ave passed the day in making
"Reminiscences. This afternoon the Russians
abandoned Bansmed, flying TO the south OF kers
across the Ardost heights. They were pursued by
our cavalry. The Russian left wing is almost ami
bilated and fleeing before the Turkish right with
such precpitancy that they buried or concealed
their artillery, and destroyed immense quantities
of baggage and provisions. The road from Hilatz
10 Kara-K alssa is covered with dead. Intercepted
Russian letters show that the garrison Of Bayazd is
regarded as lost"
Further advices from Turkish sources state that
the Russian left wing Is retreatlng in disorder IN
the direction of Bayazd. Fack Pasha, from Van,
threatens their line of retreat north of Bayazld
The lines correspondent Mt levin. tele-
graphs that in the battle on the goth

losses. The Turks buried 900 Russians. The Turk
ISL loss was below 800.
SUCCESSFUL sORTTE FROM KARS.
The Standard has the following dispatch from Con-
stantinople: Since the 10th of June the Russians
have been defeated five times. 1t is believed they
lost 10, 600 men on June 30. Their wounded filed
500 wagons. The garrison of Kars made a sortie on
Sunday and reOpened communication with Mukhtar

The siege of Kars must he raised if it's not already,
