In 1671 he was named See also:lieutenant of the " See also:Advice " at the See also:age of eighteen, See also:captain in the following See also:year

.
In 1683 he ceased to be employed, and the See also:reason must no doubt be looked for in the fact that all members of the Russell See also:family had fallen into disfavour with the See also:- KING

Throughout the negotiations preceding the revolution of 1688 Edward Russell appears acting on behalf and in the name of the See also:head of this See also:great Whig house, which did so much to bring it about, and profited by it so enormously in See also:purse and See also:power
.
He signed the invitation which William of See also:Orange insisted on having in See also:writing in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to commit the chiefs of the opposition to give him open help
.
Edward Russell's prominence at this crisis was of itself enough to See also:account for his importance after the Revolution
.
When the See also:war began with See also:France in 1689, he served at first under the earl of Torrington
.
But during 1690, when that admiral avowed his intention of retiring to the Gunfleet, and of leaving the See also:French in command of the Channel, Russell was one of those who condemned him most fiercely
.
In See also:December 1690 he succeeded Torrington, and during 169r he cruised without See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting the French under See also:Tourville (q.v.), who made no See also:attempt to meet him
.
At this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time Russell, like some of the other extreme Whigs, was discontented with the moderation of William of Orange and had entered into negotiations with the exiled See also:court, partly out of spite, and partly to make themselves safe in See also:case of a restoration
.
But he was always ready to fight the French, and in 1692 he defeated Tourville in the See also:battle called La Hogue, or See also:Barfleur
.
Russell had Dutch See also:allies with him, and they were greatly See also:superior in number, but the See also:chief difficulty encountered was in the pursuit, which Russell conducted with great See also:resolution
