Discharge coming from Eastern embassy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emission

'discharge' is the definition.
('emission' can be a synonym of 'discharge')

'eastern embassy' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'embassy' becomes 'mission' (I've seen this before).
'e'+'mission'='EMISSION'

'coming from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for emission that I've seen before include "it gets thrown out" , "A giving out or putting forth" , "issue" , "Going out" , "Something given out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
