HC Deb 24 February 1860 vol 156 c1698
MR. WYLD

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if Her Majesty's Government have received any information of the Decree of Her Most Catholic Majesty the Queen of Spain, by which the title of Duke of Tetuan has been conferred upon Marshal O'Donnell, together with the territory of Morocco, upon which the victory of Tetuan was gained?

LORD JOHN RUSSELL

said, he must beg to state that the Government had received information from our Minister at Madrid, stating that the Spanish Government intended to confer the title of Duke of Tetuan upon Marshal O'Donnell; but they had no information with regard to any intention of accompanying the title with any grant of territory. The Government, however, had been informed that it was intended to ask for Tetuan as part of the terms of peace.
