Title	Letter from Lord John Russell to Queen Victoria
Date	14 July 1848
Writer	Russell, John, Lord
Addressee	Victoria, Queen
Description	Russell is pleased to hear accounts of Prince Albert. The more he is seen and known the more popular he will be. Russell says it would be quite as well that the King and Queen of France should not visit Osborne. Accounts from Paris very bad. Little prospect of a settlement. A strong military Government, with very little freedom, affords the best chance of tranquillity. Russell says a most important bill went through Committee yesterday [the Encumbered Estates Bill]; the majority so great that the bill will undoubtedly be returned to the Lords, greatly amended. Russell says that should Cabinet think it necessary to postpone Navigation Laws, the Session may be finished by Prorogation. An adjournment might be resisted. Measures passed in one House one Session may be taken up by the other House the next.
