Diary of Henry Greville, Thursday, January 2, 1862

Panshanger. — The American news is more pacific, and since our warlike preparations have been known, the tone has changed, and it is now considered probable that Mason and Slidell will be given up.

The Portuguese Prince, Dom Joso, is dead, and there have been riots in Lisbon, in consequence of a suspicion prevalent amongst the lower orders that the Royal Family had been poisoned, which subsided on its being known that a post-mortem examination of the young Prince had been made, which proved that he had died of typhoid fever.
