§ LORD CLAUD HAMILTONwished to ask Her Majesty's Government whether they had any objection to lay on the table any Report which they had received from Mr. Longworth, as to the result of his mission among certain tribes of Circassia?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONsaid, he did not think it would be proper to lay any such Report before Parliament. Such a Report would, in fact, furnish very little information; and whatever information it might contain, as it would relate to any intercourse which Mr. Longworth might have had with persons on the spot, he thought it was undesirable that it should be produced, as it was obvious that the relations of those persons with the Russian Government, whether as dependants or as enemies, would be prejudiced by such a step.
