Peel hatte seinen Vererber damit bezeichnet, mit einer liberalen Regierung zur Aufhebung der widerlichen Gesetze zusammenzuarbeiten, und dies war eine höchst willkommene Zusicherung für Lord John. Aber es entstand ein neues Hindernis: Sowohl Lord Palmerstonals auch Lord Gray sollten in einen solchen Dienst aufgenommen werden; in der Tat konnte es ohne sie nicht gut ausstehen; Lord Palmerston würde nichts anderes als das Auswärtige Amt akzeptieren, und wenn Lord Palmer-ston zum Außenminister gemacht würde, hätte LordGrey nichts mit mir zu tun
