§ Mr. Baineswished to know whether her Majesty's Government had directed their attention to the approaching meeting of the German states at Berlin, on the Germanic commercial treaty, and whether it was their intention to send an envoy to watch over the interests of this country, and to endeavour to make arrangements which would be more advantageous to our commerce than those now in existence?
§ Mr. P. Thomsonsaid, this subject had received the utmost attention from her Majesty's Government. It was not their intention to send out what was termed an envoy; but a Gentleman who was well acquainted with all the details of the subject would go out for the purpose of assisting the British authority there to obtain such changes as would be considered beneficial to the interests of this country.
