France would willingly join ; and England and France together might, if it were worth while, obtain the moral weight, if not the material support, of Austria in their favour. Lord Aberdeen responded with characteristic caution. He refused to entertain warlike forecasts, and wished for liberty to meet the emergency when it actually arose. Lord Palmerston, a week or two later, made an ineffectual attempt to persuade the Cabinet to send the Fleet to the Bosphorus without fur- ther delay. ' I think... our position, ' were his words on July 7, Q 226 LORD JOHN RUSSELL ' waiting timidly and submissively at the back door, whilst Russia is violently threatening and arrogantly forcing her way into the house, is unwise, with a view to a peaceful settlement. ' Lord Aberdeen believed in the ' moderation ' of a despot who took no pains to disguise his sovereign contempt for ' les chiens Turcs. ' Lord Palmerston, on the other hand, made no secret of his opinion that it was the invariable policy of Russia to push forward her encroach- ment ' as fast and as far as the apathy or want of firmness ' of other Governments would allow.
