on al a special meeting of the Common
Council Yesterday.
The Daily Telegraph has the follow
ing:
BAToUM, May 80.
The Russians yesterday attacked the
Turkish positions here, and notwith-
standing the large force which they
brought to the attack aud their persist
ence against the Calling fire of the OF
toman artillery and infantry, they were
finally repulsed, leaving a great num-
Ter OF dead and wounded on the field.
The engagement lasted ten hours, dur
ing which time several close coniba,s
took place.
A Berlin dispatch states that a semi
official paper there continues to init
mate that the end of the war is ap-
preaching. Tie conclusion of an
arlnistice is already rumored.
A Times correspondent at Vienna
telegraphs as follows: Rumors OF a
possibility of peace are floating about
here. They emanate in Berlin and
date from the time of Prince Bis
marcR's stay. They al first were
vague: now, however, they have as
suined a q positive form, to the ef-
feet that the fall of Arabian, the
retreat Of the Turks to Erzeroum, to-
gether with the impression made on
the Porte by the MANAGING altitude OF
the Chamber and the population of the
capital, have already furnished The OPP
portunity for German mediation. 1t is
also to he remarked that the Grand
ViZier was for some time ambassador
at Berlin and had been keeping up
rather intimate relations with the Ger.
nan Cabinet. AS regards Turkey, it
is thought the Government and PLACE
cliques would only be too glad TO es-
cape from their critical position by dis
missing the Chamber and coming to
an arrangement.
LONDON, May 81.
Following is the speech OF the May
or of Manchester IN the occasion of
Grants reception. The Mayor said he
had not forgotten a similar occasion,
when in 1868. the ship Griswald
brought over a cargo Of provisions to
the suffering operatives of the city
who had been thrown out of employ
ment, owing to tie failure in the sup
ply of cotton from the South. He
also made a pleasant allusion TO tine
visit of that distinguished American
statesman and diplomat, Reverdy
Johnson. The present object of the
corporation, he said. was to evince the
good will of the citizens of Manches-
ter personally and to you, as the repre-
sentative OF the great American people
whose good feeling they desired to- cul-
tivate. Sir Joseph Herod read a long
address congratulatory in it's charac-
ter, and recalling the kind expression
which the Queens birthday had evok-
ed in America. He hoped for a con-
slant increase of the existing good
feeling, and trusted that the visit of
the Ex-President would ultimately
lead TO the interchange of id cas- on the
subject of abolishing restrictions on
trade, and the establishment by COM
mon consent of free commercial inter.
course between England and the Unit
ed States. The Gen., who had listened to
the addresses it'll the quite composure

dequate to their proper expression.
1t was my signal purpose on my ar
rival in Liverpool to hasten to London
and from thence proceed to visit the
various points OF interest in the coun-
try. Among these 1 have regarded
Manchester as most important [hearl,
as l have been aware for years OF the
great amount OF your manufactures,
many of which find their ultimate
destination In my own country. So, l
am aware that the sentiments of the
great mass of the people Of Manches-
ter went out in sympathy TO that
country during the mighty struggle in
which it fell to my lot to take some
humble part. The expression Of the
people of Manchester ut the time OF
our great trial melted within the
breasts of my countrymen q feeling
Of friendship towards them distinct
from that felt toward all England. In
that spirit l accept, on the part of my
country, the compliments paid me as
Its representative, and thank you.
