Title	Letter from Sir Robert Peel to Queen Victoria
Date	5 March 1846
Writer	Peel, Robert, Sir, 2nd Baronet
Addressee	Victoria, Queen
Description	Minor considerations (e.g. defeat of Gladstone and Lord Lincoln at the poll) will not cause Peel to relax his efforts in regard to the great question agitating the public mind [relating to Corn Laws]. Peel does not despair of some early opening for W.E. Gladstone's return - and Lord Lincoln's. Their absence from Commons very inconvenient. Peel will propose the Lordship of the Treasury to Captain Carnegie - then to Hamilton - on condition of their feeling assured of re-election. Failing this, Neville again to be offered the post. No intelligence [regarding the United States] save what came by a private ship, and now appears in newspapers. Lord Ripon and the Duke of Wellington will probably write concerning the command of the Army in India. The insurrectionary movement [in Poland] is causing uneasiness to the Northern Powers, from the extent of its ramifications.
