§ MR. BANKESwished to put a question to the noble Viscount the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs as to our relations with the Court of Spain. As long as the late Ambassador, Sir Henry Bulwer, remained unaccredited to any other Court, it was obviously a matter of personal delicacy towards him not to put any question on the subject; but now that it was stated that Sir Henry Bulwer was accredited as Ambassador to another Court, he begged to ask the noble Viscount whether the matters in difference between this Court and the Court of Spain were adjusted, or were in the course of adjustment? The noble Viscount would recollect that at the close of the last Session a subject of this country had been expelled from the dominion of Spain under circumstances which were thought deserving of inquiry. We had never heard the result of that inquiry, nor had the injury to which he was supposed to be exposed in any degree been vindicated. It was desirable that Members should know how far the subjects of this realm could with safety continue in that country; and he begged to ask the noble Viscount whether the differences between this Court and the Court of Spain were in a fair train of adjustment?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONThe difficulty has not yet been adjusted. As to any correspondence that may be going on at present, it would not he politic now to inform the hon. Member.
