§ Sir R. Peelsaid, that his hon. Friend had given notice of a motion for Thursday next, for copies of certain official correspondence with respect to the affairs on the north-western frontier of India. He (Sir ft. Peel) thought, that in the present state of affairs in Affghanistan, the House could not advantageously enter upon the discussion, and as he should on Thursday be obliged to decline to grant the required information, he would express a hope, that on public grounds, his hon. Friend would consent to postpone his motion.
Mr. Bailliewould consent, at the request of the right hon. Gentleman, and on the grounds he had stated, to postpone this motion from Thursday next. He could not, however, withdraw it, although he could not then fix a time when he would bring it forward.
