§ MR. CADOGANasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the attention of Her Majesty's Government has been called to the distinguished and devoted services rendered by the Reverend D. Smyth to British subjects during and subsequent to the late siege of Paris; and, whether any Report of the administration of the "Cave" Fund by D. Smyth and others in Paris can be laid upon the Table?
§ VISCOUNT ENFIELDSir, the humane and praiseworthy exertions of the Rev. D. Smyth, as well as those of Mr. R. Wallace, Mr. E. Blount, Mr. Alan Herbert, and others, have been gratefully recognized by Her Majesty's Government, and Lord Lyons some time ago was informed of the high sense entertained here of the conduct of these gentlemen during the siege of Paris, and if my hon. Friend will move for this despatch I shall be happy to present it to Parliament. With regard to the Special Report of the British Charitable 1879 Fund, I have a copy of it in my hand which I will leave in the Library for the Printing Committee of the House to decide as to whether it should be generally circulated; but I apprehend it would not be convenient for the Foreign Office to be called upon to print documents of this character.
