for information from a government that
would not be relied upon.

Peter Lumsden's mission had, to great
extent, been achieved. He was glad to
find Lord Geo, Hamilton advocating the
position that faith should not be placed
in Russia, and that the only course WIS
to 50 10 wa. When the great elections
| came the government would remind the
opposition of their policy, and IL would
then be seen whether the country was
tired Of peace.
