§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONI beg to give notice that I shall to-morrow, on the Motion that the House do adjourn (and, if necessary, I shall move the adjournment), make some observations on the state of our Foreign Relations, and ask the Government to state, as far as may be consistent with their public duty, what is the present position in which this country stands, either as mediator or as negotiator, in regard to the discussions now going on either at Paris or elsewhere in regard to the affairs of Italy and Europe in general.
