and we cannot imagine tn III TINS country
would view such acts OF hostility with indifference,
especially when IL is remembered that they have
arisen entirely out of an occurrence which took
place under the British flag. The naval station of
the Tsgus may be considered by the United States
as OF no less importance to their European interests
than it is TO ourselves; and though il would De
nstent with the strict friendship which has so long
existed between the courts of Great Britain and OF
Portugal, TO urge upon the latter State the prompt
recognition and settlement of all just aims, yet
we are entitled TO watch with more than common
interest the possibility Of an attack one of the
moet important maritime stations OF Europe, under
very questionable pretence, which the American
government had itself abandoned after twenty
eight years discussion, and which it has only
sumed since the prosecution of such claims by
foroe came unluckily into fashion in Europe.
Death OF his Royal Highness the Duke OF
Cambridge.
From the Liverpool Courier, July 10
We have this week the mournful duty of an
nsuncing the death of his Royal Highness the
Dske OF Cambridge, youngest son of the late King
Highness expired shortly before ten Monday
night, at Cambridge-house, Piccadilly, after
short and painful illness.
1t appears that his Royal Highness was attacked
BY ndisposition on the 18th ult, with cramp in the
stomach, but after the severity of the attack had
passed away, all danger was tho aght to be over.
The Royal Duke was attended by Dr. Francis
Hawkins, DR.. Bright, DR.. Watson. Mr. Keate and
Mr.. Illingworh, and il judged, up to within
ths last few days, that he would recover, although
suffering from loss of appetite and much debility.
The Royal Duke recently became so much debili-
tafed and prostrated not being able to sustain any
nourishing substance on his stomach, that he con-
hnued TO sink rapidly during the last four and
twenty hours, until, at the aforementioned hour,
his Royal Highness expired without a struggle.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge
who, during her royal husbands illness, has
synced the greatest solicitude, was at the bedside
OF his Royal Hghness up to the minute of his
dissolution, and II is -dless to observe, is in
distressed tate OF mind at her eparable bere ave-
nent. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cam
bridge, on leave of absence from his military duties
m Ireland, was also present at the death of his
Royal Highness. The only member of the late
Royal Dukes family absent from this country but to
whom intelligence OF his serious illness for
warded last week, was his eldest daughter, the
Princess Augusta, at present with her husband
the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh-
Strelitz, in Germany.
Directly after the decease of his Royal Highness,
Major Baron Knesebeck, principal equerry to the
Royal Duke, went TO buckingham Palace, 10 an.
nounce the melancholy intelligence to the Queen
and the Prince.
His Royal Highness Prince Albert attended by
his equeIry in waiting, Immediately proceeded to
Cambridge house 10 pay visit Of coincidence to
her Royal Hghnese the Duchess of Cambridge,
and his Royal Highness Prince George. Prince
Albert remained until quarter before eleven, and
then returned TO buckingham Palace, attended by
Lieut.. Col the Hon. A. Gordon.
"A royal messenger was despatched to Lord John
Russell with the sad news, shortly after the Royal
Duke expired also TO Viscount Palmerston, by
whom cabinet courier was TO he sent 10 the King
81 Hanover, the King Of the Belgians, and the
Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgb Stretz,
and the other connexions of the royal family in
Germany.
