§ MR. ANSTEY: Sir, I wish to know from the noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether the departure of Sir H. Bulwer from Madrid is rightly explained in some of the foreign journals that have been received this week, that that gentleman is removed from the post of Madrid to another and a better one in the same service—the post of Ambassador at Constantinople; or whether the departure of Sir H. Bulwer from Madrid is to be taken as indicative of an entire rupture of friendly relations between this country and Spain?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTON: The departure of Sir H. Bulwer does not arise from his having been appointed to any other post, and it does not proceed from any rupture of the relations between the two countries.
