Russell's Administration...Not long since his Lordship attained some literary celebrity from the publication of a journal of a yacht voyage far into the Arctic regions, under the title of "Letters from High Latitudes"; and, owing to his having as a traveller acquired considerable knowledge of the people and the country of Syria, he was last year selected by the Government to act as Commissioner for England to inquire into the state of Syria after the massacre which took place arising out of the disputes between the Druses and the Maronites.
