§ MR. BRIGHTsaid, that, before the adjourned debate on the Prosecution of the War was continued, he wished to ask the noble Lord at the head of the Government a question, naturally following the answer which he had elicited from him on the previous evening. His present question was, whether the noble Lord was prepared to lay on the table the papers completing what had taken place at Vienna, and comprising the particulars of any propositions that had been made to Her Majesty's Government, and been considered and rejected by them, subsequently 1409 to the date of the papers already before the House?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONSir, there can be no objection to laying on the table the last communication that we received from the Austrian Government, and the answer which was returned to it. I may perhaps state that we have received intelligence to-day that the conference met yesterday, and that after communication being held between the different Plenipotentiaries it was finally closed.
§ SIR HENRY WILLOUGHBYsaid, he begged to inquire whether the papers which the noble Lord proposed to produce would include the proposition alluded to by Count Buol as having been made to the Cabinets of England and France?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONI will lay on the table the last communication from Austria, with the answer that was made to it; and the hon. Gentleman will then see whether it includes the proposition he refers to.
