| PARIS, May 16-One of the last acts OF the Prince
| of Wales before quitting Paris was to VISIT the
| American section This he did Wednesday. No
circumstances of ceremony, such rs surrounded the
visit of General Grant attended the Prince. Tie did
not arrive in two carriages. No ambassador accom-
panied him. No guard of honor presented arms to
him; the mrIskots of the thirty United States ma
rnes rcposcd peacefully on their martial shoulders
Nobody made IA speech at him, and he was
offered neither picked oysters American
| beer. The Heir of all the Guelphs came
and went with as much simplicity rs if he had
! been mere citizen OF free Republic There was
not much to distinguish his visit from the visits
that Jones and Smith make, except that Jones and
| Smith mobbcd him in true cOckncy style. 1t did
! occur to me, as | saw the frantic rushes Of the
! quickly gathered crowd, that some of the thirty
bayonets might hayo been put to good use in pro-
! tccling guest. The Prince has generally been
! permitted to go about the Exhibition quietly, and
things in his own way. | have met HIM
dozen times during the last fortnight in one section
OF another and never saw throng follow him or
i
! till yesterday. never saw Him stared at gfecdy
or ofitnsiycly. and am sorry to have to say that
! the curiosity shown in the American section
! amounted to impnrtncnce. The spectators were
not all Americans, but | afraid the foremost OF
them were. Princes are less novelty IN Paris than
! in indianapolis, or even New-York.
| Governor Mccormick had been notified of the IN
tended visit by Mr. CunlIile Owen IN the morning,
and asked to X, ep IT secret Nobody was told,
therefore, except the Governors staii aud the heads
of Il partmentS and managers whose presence would
be required. Bat such secret is ever kept. 1t
was known all over the section that the Prince was
expected, and fcvcrish excitement, repreS,cd but
visible, rciGued in every quarter had not been in
the section five minutes before heard the news
from dozen persons. Al the entrance found Gov
rrnor Nice prm,ck waiting to receive his royal vlol-
tor. Punctual a. the Prince usually j., he was an
hour or moro late. and the arrival announced by
Nh GuH.r owen Tor four did not occur till past five.
The Princes, came with her husband. II 1t was by
her that inc crowd attracted, they may be cX-
cu,cd the men for struggling to see - pretty
woman. ard the women for wanting 10 inspect her
costume, which was simplicity it-aif: all brown from
head - foot with bright flower or two IN her bon
net. Pcrli1p, | have before remarked thar
the Princess of Wales enjoy, and deserves the
/ reputation of dressing better than most English
women. II was not who sad 1t Is because she l.
/ not ENGLISH. Her younger brother was with her,
ard % lady iu waiting whose name ought T. know,
but douo'. Sir. Cuuliic Owen wIs with the Prince.
