MR. ALDERMAN W. M'ARTHUR

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If any negotiations have been entered into for the resumption of diplomatic relations between Great Britain and the Republic of Mexico, and what progress, if any, has been made in such negotiations?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, confidential unofficial conversations have taken place between Her Majesty's Ambassador and M. Velasco, the Mexican Representative at Paris, on this subject; but they have not hitherto had any result.
