HC Deb 28 May 1857 vol 145 c932
MR. KINNAIRD

asked whether the Government has received any conclusive information relative to the signing of a treaty bringing to an amicable conclusion the differences between the kingdom of Prussia and the Swiss Government with reference to Neufchatel?

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

Sir, I am happy to be able to inform my hon. Friend and the House that a treaty has been acceded to by both the Swiss Cantons and the King of Prussia, which I believe was actually signed a few days ago, and that the question in dispute between them may be considered as being satisfactorily settled.
