Lord John Russell on the Eastern Question
Lord John Russell having been reelected
to Parliament from the city of London with
out opposition, addressed the electors At
length on the conduct of the existing war
with Russia. We give a few extracts from
his remarks:

which We are about to carry on, will be a
war, not OF two Powers. but of five Powers Of
Europe against the Emperor of Russia.
