§ MR. C. BULLERrose to put a question to the right hon. Baronet, of which he had given him notice. It was a lamentable state of things to which it related. It had been reported, that during the late insurrection in the Austrian province of Galicia, the authorities had issued a proclamation offering a reward of so many dollars for the heads of different gentlemen who should be brought in, dead or alive. The question he wished to put to the right hon. Baronet was, whether it were true that the Austrian Government had addressed a note to the European Courts contradicting or explaining that report? and, if so, whether a copy of that note could be laid before the House?
§ SIR R. PEELThe Austrian Government has not made any communication to our Government upon the subject to which the question of the hon. and learned Gentleman refers; and I am not aware that the Austrian Government has made any official communication upon the subject to any other European Government; it has certainly made none to this. A communication, authorized by the Austrian Government, has been made, not to this Government, which contains a most peremptory contradiction of the report.
