The QuEEN.-Before her marriage
the Queen of England was hayward
and titfal young woman--subject to the
most variable caprices, and entirely
uncomfortable by her Ministers. -
shrewd politicians always ascribed
the calm and equable course of Brit
ish policy to the influence of Prince
Albert, who was one of the most
shrcwd and accomplished diplomats.
1t is feared, now that her Majesty has
been deprived of this guide. that she
will become hayward again; and by
some, the untimely article in the Lon
don Times, advising the Prince of
Wales to take good care Of his moth
err, is thus interpreted. When the i'll
ness Of Prince Albert was announced
to Napoleon, he said: 81 know Of no
man whose death would at this time
exert more important influence on the
politics Of Europe" Prince Albert
openly justified the seizure of Mason
and Slidell, and opposed the demand
which was made by England for their
surrender.
