Death of Prince Albert--the difficulty between Begland and the United States.
Our advices from the
North are to the 24th inst.The papers contain the latest news from
Europe, received on the 22d.
The death of Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, is announced among the prominent items of intelligence.
He died after a brief illness, of gastric fever, and the royal house of
England is suddenly plunged into affliction, which temporarily diverts attention from affairs on this side of the
Atlantic.
We have, however, a statement that the
British merchant marine had been warned by the
Government that war with the
United States was imminent.
Further developments of the policy of the
Lincoln Cabinet in regard to
Messrs. Mason and
Slidell, will be found in the telegraphic column.
