MR. KINGLAKEsaid, he rose to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign 1058 Affairs whether, in pursuance of the desire expressed by the Emperor of the French in his letter of the 30th of October last, addressed to Prince Napoleon, the negotiation relative to the immigration of Indian Coolies into the French Colonies was resumed; and, if so, whether it has resulted from such negotiations that Her Majesty's Government has entered into any engagement or understanding with the French Government for permitting or facilitating the deportation of Indian Coolies into the French Colonies; and also whether there will be any objection to lay the Papers relating to this subject upon the Table of the House?
MR. SEYMOUR FITZGERALDsaid, in reply to the first part of the Question, that the negotiation relative to the immigration of French Coolies had been resumed and was concluded; and, in reply to the second part of the Question, that Her Majesty's Government had entered into an engagement with the French Government for the purpose referred to. He apprehended that there would be no objection to lay the Papers on the Table.
