If it is established that the Baroness Vaughan is of foreign birth she sprobably will be expelled from Belgium, like the tavorite of Leopold 1, the Baroness Maye: whose house was attacked and Qestroyed by & mob after the king's death The court of first instance granted an injunction this eveming which was sought { by the Baroness Vaughan, restraining the suthorities from affixing seals on her res- idence.

The position of the Baroness Vaughan { while in some ways comparable with that of Mme. Maintenon, in no wise possesses 50 strong & status as wife of Louls XIV. At the same time it | uppears most possidie there will be much litigation over Leopold's estate, especially his property in the Riviers, where he was one of the Jargest holders of real estate It is understood that the king made some arrangement for withdrawing this and other of his property from the right of | Fenera) succession in order to eonvey it to the baroness.
