II We learn from the Court Journal tn a.
Mr.. Fillmore appeared at the Queens Draw

in plain evening dress. His personal appear
ance is highly complimented by that journal,
which is also somswha. astonishcd by tho alb
sence of hickey Like Difference for him on The
part Of the Americans. We copy paragraph:
"The presence Of an OK President of the
the United States at our Court is an event
which deserves passing note. Mr. Fillmore
looks to be even younger man than Mr. Bu-
chanan, the American Minister; his hair is
not so white, nor is there any appearance Of
badness. He seems apparently about fifty.
eight, is smaller in stature than the Minister,
but with as handsome and intellectual coun-
tenance. IL is amusing to SEQ the sang frcid
with which the former chief of this powerful
Government is treated by the officers of one of
his successors. The republican principle in
this matter is no fiction and the ex-Presi.
don't has really and actuslly become nothing
more than an American citizen. Mr.. Fillmore
has, however, been received with much con.
sheraton at Court and with great distinction

A Great Ado About Nothing -The readers
Of the Star may rest assured that there is o
great deal of hunbuggery in the story of the
New York papsrs, saying that there has been
alnos: difficulty between Louis Naroleon's
Minister OF Foreign Affairs and Mr.. John .
Mason, cur Minister at the French Court, upon
he alleged determination of France not to 70.
spect the rights OF ships Of neutral Powers in
the Baltic, according to the declaration, al
stipulations laid down in the orders in council
in this connection, pronulged as the declared
policy Of France some months ago. In these
orders France came very near to the doctrine
on this subject so long urged by this Govern :
ment dc tho only proper reading of the law of
nations upon the subject suited to our ed.
vanced ago. We feel satisfied that up to this
hour not wefd or q lire has been received
by the Government here from which the i'm
prosaiOn that France is disposed to fy from
her pledge may be fairly drawn.

informed in such matters. If our government
