The Queen of the Belgians was safely delivered of a
son at half- - past four on Wednesday morning. The event was announced to the inhabitants of Brussels by the discharge of 101 pieces of artil- lery on the Boulevards. The name of the infant is to be LEOPOLD LOUIS PHILIP VICTOR ERNEST, and he is to be created Duke of BRABANT. The baptism is to take place on the 1st or 2d of Au- gust. The Duke of NEMOURS is to represent Louis PRIM godfather, and the Queen of the French is to officiate in pe
godmother, instead of a proxy of the Dutchess of Ksfew, as had been previously announced. This arrangement has been made in deference to the religious prejudices of Ltoeotes Catholic subjects.
The Plenipotentiaries of the Five Powers are busily engaged, in conjunction with the Belgian and Dutch Ministers, in finally arranging a settlement of the tiresome Belgian question. It is said that both the parties principally interested in the matter are disposed to be somewhat more tractable than they have been hitherto.
