FRENCH STORY ABOUT THE PRINCE OF WALES.
l'!i: French papers are constantly publishing wonderful stories about the Prince of Wales. They are all we’] intentioned, for the Heir Apparent to the British Throne is as sincerely liked by all classes of Parisians as English people generally are sincerely ridiculed if not positively disliked,‘but these good-natnred journalists must cause good provincials, innocent of Parisian Hague, to look upon the Prince of Wales as a sort of Western counterpart of His 3lajesty of the White Elephant. Taking up the “ Gnulois” I read in one of ils serious columns the following paragraph It is known that every week the Prince of Males gives a dinner, of which the meiiii and the cooking are borrowed from some foreign cuisine. China lately inspired the dishes' W hales sinews, with sugar sauce ; sheep's eyes gigiiies with garlic: bamboo apples in gravy ; rice, eaten with chop-sticks." Ihe writer adds that on Tuesday the Prince gave a diner and declared that lie could name the 3larseilles restaurateur who had been commissioned to despatch by express train the fish to be used in composing the princely louillabaisse. If any illustrious persons who have lately partaken of-the Prince's hospitality are uow seriously ill, you and they will know the reason.
