Baffled in these attempts, the fleet sailed north for the mouth of the Peiho, when at last Lord Palmerston's letter was accepted by Keshen, the viceroy of the province, and duly forwarded by him to Pekin.
Lord Palmerston was Prime Minister; she had known him from her childhood; he was a near neighbour of her father's in the New Forest. She went down to the New Forest, armed with the plan of the proposed hospital and all the relevant information, stayed the night at Lord Palmerston's house, and convinced him of the necessity of rebuilding Netley.
I've had a lovely morning in the library; and your father is still at work with his correspondence. I asked him what he thought of Lord Palmerston's aphorism: that if you left your letters unanswered long enough they answered themselves; and he admitted it was true, and that he had sometimes adopted the plan successfully.
As the year closed Lord Palmerston's ill-advised action over the Coup d'État in France brought about, as we have already seen, his dismissal, a circumstance which still further weakened the Russell Cabinet. The year 1852 opened darkly for Lord John. Difficulties, small and great, seemed thickening around him.
And a proper reply must be given.

He spoke against the Government during the discussions in the House of Commons on the conduct of the Persian War, and he exercised his independence in other directions.
Lord Palmerston's Resolutions. Character of the Changes during the last Century. Mr. Hallam's View of the Development of the Constitution. Symptoms of approaching Constitutional Changes. State of the Kingdom at the Accession of George III. Improvement of the Law affecting the Commissions of the Judges. Restoration of Peace. Lord Bute becomes Minister. The Case of Wilkes. Mr.
Palmerston's death, of course, dissolved this compact; and, though the General Election of 1865 had again yielded a Liberal majority, the change in the Premiership had transformed the aspect of political affairs. The new Prime Minister was in the House of Lords, seventy-three years old, and not a strong man for his age.
He refused Lord Palmerston's invitation to enter into an alliance with Britain, Austria, and Prussia for the preservation of the integrity of the Ottoman empire, from a sympathy with the principles which dictated the first Napoleon's invasion of Egypt and Syria, and a desire to accomplish by diplomacy with Mehemet Ali what Bonaparte had endeavored to effect by force of arms the supremacy of France in these regions.
