NOTES OF THE WAR.


The Independence 6elge of October 20, referring to
Bonapartist intrigues IN Belgium, says
We believe that if Brussels is not the centre of
dynastic intrgues which have been carried for
some days with renewed activity, our city has at
least the honor OF being one OF the centres OF the
enterprise, and we might, If the character OF in
former were not dstaseful TO us, mention the names
OF some foreign ladies' of rank who have taken up
their abode in Brussels to work for the restoration
OF the Empire q nd who devote themselves 10 the
task with an ardor worthy Of better cause. Their
felow-laborers do not take the trouble to conceal
their projects or their hopes.
All this man@uyrDg Is conducted in open day,
yet public order ia no way troubled by it. 1t is
quite improbable that the Belgian Government
should be altogether ignorant Of these proceedings,
to discover the existence Of which even a secret
police is unnecessary. But it does not take any
ice. 1t allows the movement TO proceed without
thinking for one moment OF employing the lwers
given 10y Onr laws against foreigners suspected of
political Vaccinations and even against peaceaO!e
and inonensive Foreigners Let there be no misun-
deTstandiDg as to our intentions. We make no
complaint against this attitude OF our Government.
ON the contrary we record it with great satisfac-
tinn frnstinG t56t this non-in rgerenee will forrn
precedent 1t could not be other wise in
lime to come, for we caunot assume that this tole-
rance Of the Government is privilege conceded TO
Bonapartists only, ana pitilessy refused TO those
entertaining other opinions.
