DR. CAMERONasked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether he would inform the House of the answer returned to the mediatized Indian Princes who offered troops to the British Government for employment in the Soudan; or if, as has been done in the case of similar offers from the Colonies, 44 he would lay the Correspondence on the subject upon the Table?
§ MR. J. K. CROSSWe have not yet received from the Government of India any despatch on this subject; but, as I stated the other night to the House, the Nizam of Hyderabad, the Begum of Bhopal, and the Rajahs of Patiala and Jhind, have most loyally offered military assistance to the British Government. These offers have already been cordially acknowledged in both Houses of Parliament.
