Lev our oest soclesy reloice; royal prince
is coming to America. Not a poverty -strick-
en- German or Italian prince, but the heir APP
parent to the crown of Great Britain. A de-.
spatch from Canada says that the Prince Of
Wales may be expected to arrive at Quebec
by the next Canadian ocean mail steamer.-
If this is correct report, the Prince 10 now
on the seas, for the next Quebec steamer is
the Ocean Queen, which sailed from Liver
pool August oath, and will arrive in four or
five days. The Canadians are among the
most loyal of British subjects, and they will,
OF course, give an enthusiastic welcome to
their queens son and future king. No prince
royal Of England has visited America since
the Duke of Clarence, afterwards William
w., came on man war, in which be was
midshipman.
As the Prince Of Wales is avowsdly on his
travels for the sake of completing his educa-
tion and filing bis mind with knowledge Of
all kinds, of course he will not 90 back to
Europe without visiting the United States
The great agitating question Of the country
will therefore become, How is he to be re-
cevedp or course, New York will throw il.
self ut his feet and kiss the royal hand
There will be = military reception, a irsma ans
parade, q banquet at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
ball at the Academy OF Music, and probs-
bly, the climax of glory will BIO reached by the
princes being invited to write for the New
York Ledger. Here in Philadelphia, being
unable to offer any such grand civilities to
His Royal Highness, we shall probably let
him come and 60 in comparative quiet.
The great bnrthen Of the national hospi.
tali,y will fall upon the President Of the Uni
ted States, and we are curious to know how
Mr.. Buchanan will do the honors, and wheth-
er he viii make Queen Victoria's son q guest
at the White House, as he often does with the
prominent Decompton politicians that 90 to
Washington. All depends, we presume, up ;
on the Princes views on Mr.. Buchanan's
policy.
For the information Of the inquirinp world.
We state that His Royal llighness Albert Ed .
ward, Prince of Wales, Duke OF Saxony.
Prince Of SAKE Coburg and Gotha, Grand
Steward Of Scotland, Duke Of Cornwall and
Rothsay, Earl Of Chester, Earl Of Carrick
and Dublin, Baron Renfrew, and Lord of the
Isles, 10 nearly eighteen years old, having
been born Nov. 9th, l64l. He is a we'll.
trained and well-informed youth, not over
vigorous in health, nor over brilliant in in.
tellect but quite clever enough for sover-
eign Of free, constitutional government like
England, whose worss fate would be to have
king Of great mind and lofty ambition that
would carry him beyond the legitimate re-
straints Of Parliament and Ministers. He
has travelled over central and southern Eu.
rope during the last year or two, and has
been kept under . supervision that has re-.
strained him from any undue indulgence 10
the vices Of many fashionable youths on their
travels. His European tour was partly to
give him an opportunity for looking after !
wife among the Protestant Gcrmnn prin0ess-
es. We regret that We cannot give any as
surance that he will look for . wife ia this
country--the Royal Marriage ACT would
scarcely allow TINT. So our Young ladies
need entertain no visions OF becoming Prin.
cess OF Wales. or a Queen % Ecs.saa.-
