Title	Letter from Lord John Russell to Queen Victoria
Date	13 July 1848
Writer	Russell, John, Lord
Addressee	Victoria, Queen
Description	Russell is rejoiced to hear of Prince Albert's reception (at York). Russell is of the opinion that the Duc de Nemours might very well go to Osborne to bring away the Duchesse, but a visit of all the princes and princesses would create much remark in France and occasion unpleasant discussions. Russell says Archduke John's answer is very judicious, but unless Prussia gives him cordial support the new system will break to pieces for want of internal strength. Russell does not think it advisable for Queen Victoria to go to Scotland if her visit to Ireland is given up. Lord Clarendon complains of the report in the "Times" that Her Majesty is not going to Ireland. Russell says Cabinet will consider what course to take [regarding Navigation Laws]. Russell cannot see how the measure can be pressed in August. Thinks it advisable to adjourn rather than prorogue Parliament, with a view not to lose the steps already taken.
