[By Ei,eotrio Tklkgkaph.— Copyright.]
(Reoter's Telegeahb.) Moscow, May 27th. (Received May 30th, at U. 50 p m.) Tho coronation of the Czar was celebrated here to-day with great ceremony, at the Cathedral of the Assumption, in the presence of a large and brilliant assemblage of representatives from European and Foreign Courts. The spectacle was one of extreme magnificence, and nothing occurred to mar its impressiveness.
The Imperial rescript issued by his Majesty on the occasion declares that the glory and power of tho Rusuau Empire are complete, and repudiates tho idea of aggrandisement by military conquest.
During the evening the city was most brilliantly illuminated, and his Majesty drove through the streets without escort. The Czar was everywhere received with great enthusiasm.
