§ MR. CHAPLINI wish to ask the Prime Minister, Whether he is able to inform us if any answer has yet been received from the Russian Government with regard to the proposed agreement of which he spoke on Monday last; and, if so, what is the nature of that answer, and whether it meets with the approval of Her Majesty's Government?
MR. GLADSTONEI have no authentic information to give. Communications are still proceeding; but I am not aware that they have reached such a result as can be communicated to the House.
§ MR. ACKERSI beg to ask the right hon. Gentleman, whether the Government have received any confirmatory information in regard to a further Russian advance which is reported in an evening newspaper to have taken place?
