BELGIUM.

The Indepoulance of Brussels gives a formal
contradiction to the statement that Queen Victoria
is about to visit Belgium.
The King and Royal family of Belgium have re-
turned to Brussels from Liege, where their recep-
tion was, if possible, even more enthusiastic than
in the other towns which they had visited since
the marriage of the Duke of Brabant.

the majority of the inhabitants of New Mexico
would lean to the United States.
