{11c} Letter of JOHN BRIGHT, Esq., M.P.
{12} "Now the Principalities have been invaded, not only without any
pretence of right, but by the most flagrant violations of all the
principles of right, by the armies of Russia. The revenues of the
Principalities have been seized, all the private _materiel_ of those
countries sequestered, and the inhabitants compelled to join the Russian
armies and to make war on their own Sovereign."--_Lord Lyndhurst_, _in
the House of Lords_, _March_ 20, 1855. Even weak, vacillating, and
Russia-allied Prussia was forced to admit that "a great wrong had been
committed."
