VISIT OP PRINCE NAPOLEON TO BRUSSELS.

His Royal Highness Prince Napoleon-Jerome-Bona-
parte arrived at Brussels, by the railway train from the
south at a quarter to three o'clock on Monday. He
was received with royal and military honours ; a bat-
talion of grenadiers and a battalion of chasseurs cara-
biniers being drawn up at the station, and companies of
cavalry in attendance for an escort.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Brabant and Generals
Vanderlinden and Prisse and staff were at the head of
the troops, attended by his Royal Highness' aides-de-
camp Lieutenant-Colonels Goethals and d'Hanins de
Moerkerke.

The members of the French Legation, the Burgo-
master and councillors in full uniform, and many persons
of distinction, both French and Belgian were also in
attendance.

On arrival of the train, the Prince was received by
the Duke of Brabant, by whom he was presented to the
Generals, to the Burgomaster and other eminent indi-
viduals. The Prince wore the uniform of a French
general officer, and the insignia of the Legion of Honour.
All were struck with his marked resemblance to his
uncle Napoleon I.

Three ;if the court carriages were in waiting, as well
as that of the French Minister at the court of Brussels,
and other private carriages.
An immense crowd surrounded the enclosure of the
station and followed the cortege, in its progress by the
Grande Place, the Montagne de la Cour and the Place
Royale, to the palace.

At the top of the state staircase the King was in wait-
ing to receive the Prince. They remained in conversa-
tion a considerable time ; after which the Prince retired
to the suite of apartments which had been put in order
for his reception.

That evening there was a state dinner at the Palace,
as there was on Tuesday; and will be every day either
at Brussels or Laeken during the stay of the Prince,
which it is expected will be until Thursday or Friday.
The Prince is accompanied by Colonel Desmarets and
two other aides-de-camp, as well as M. Varcollier, Se-
cretary.

After dinner on Monday the Prince Napoleon accom-
panied the Duke and Duchess of Brabant and the Count
of Flanders to the ball of the Concert-noble at Waux-Hall.
The ball was very brilliant.
The Prince danced with the Duchess of Brabant.
The Prince de Chimay accompanied the Prince Napo-
leon to Brussels.

On Tuesday the Prince Napoleon visited the principal
lions of Brussels. The streets were crowded and full of
life, animation, and curiosity to see a living type of one
who once called Brussels his own.—Continental Times.
