A middle in a storm-a tempest IN a teapot

United States. Don't laugh, am quite IN estneS'.
IL appears that when the British Queen was ias AZ
New York tonnage and other duties, not pad py Ia
vred nations were levied that steamer, whch
now Is the property Of the Begie Government
yexed at this, Leopold has issued Royal ordnance
as follows
"The vessels of the United States will in future be
subjected in Belgian ports to the tonnage and pilot
age dues chargeabe, according TO the regulations III
force upon the vessels of nations which are pot Ia
vored The reimbursement of the tolls oil ue
Sehedt Professionally suspended regards the yes
sells of the United States"
That is, the United States vessels will have TO pay
in Belgc ports, all dues demanded from the least Ia
yored nations.
The beauty Of this is that the extra dues WILL oil
course be put upon American articles, and the Bel
gians not the Americans will have to pay The add
tona dues when added to the present market prices,
So that after ALL it is but "cultng off the nose to
yex the face" of the brave Belgans. Besides, were
il real tax on the Americans, they still could send
their merchandise, at the old duties, IN English or
French bottoms.
Two months ago told you that it had become a
mooted question in Louis Phlippes private circle,
whether he should resign his sceptre this winter and
allow the Due de Nemours Immediately TO assume
the Regency II is only now that the Paris press
has begun 10 write about this subject, into which !
entered fully two months age. What | stated to you
is openly declared-namely, that The queen,
who is very pious wants her husband TO resign his
public duties, that he may devote his mind to prePa-
ratons for another and better world. Ii IS said
that nothing but his fear that the regent would be
self willed prevents the King from taking the step
spoken of.
The Royal Family are daily expected at Fountain
bleau, from ST. Cloud. They are more averse than
usual to return to the Tuilleries. This day week
the King up to Paris to hold review in Place
des CarJusa but the day aw.ully wet that
the show did not take place. A military levee was
held in the Sale DIES Marechaux, at which the Off
GERS OF several regiments and of the Municipal
Guards present His Majesty distributed
among them several crosses of the Legion OF Honor.
The Due de Nemours and the Due de Nj ntpensier
were present. After the Leyec, the King gave a
dinner TO 300.
The Prince de Joinve and the Due d'Aumale had
very narrow escape the other day, their way to
Brest The four horses Of their carriage fell stimuli
taneousy, was killed on the spot, the carriage
was not overturned, and the Princes escaped ere
now they have reached Lisbon, whence goes to
Brazil and the.other to Algiers.
Two distinguished yisiters have just quilted Paris,
both of whom were the Kings private guests. One

Moscow in 1872 the other the Melliorwai In Ian,
Dwarknaught Tajore. His title of honor is ''Ihc
Baboo." He is good linguisi, and on his return to
India, by the Westward Route. He has accepted n
invitation from Louis Philippe to return TO Paris next

tates at Nantes, he volunteered giving an annual
plate and it is even hoped that he will paronse the
Chantilly races, as his brother, the Due dOrleans
did. His Royal Highness is extremely popular.
