Summary
Introducing Mr. Warburton, "...the author of the "Crescent & the Cross" - the most popular English work on the East & one of the best - His wife is a connection both of L'd John Russell's & Sir Robert Peel's. The news from Italy are more & more alarming - why will not the Austrians try to govern Lombardy through the Italians? it is their only chance of averting war. The D. of Wellington's letter has produced much the same state of mind here that you had in France before the fortification of Paris : with this difference, that John Bull won't much like spending either his money or his time, of both of which your good people are so lavish, when they have an object."
