§ MR. T. DUNCOMBEsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If it is true that the English Ambassador at Vienna recommended the Emperor of Austria not to receive the Hungarian Address agreed to by the Diet at Pesth, unless such Address fully recognized his sovereignty and title as King of Hungary; and, if so, whether the British Ambassador was acting under instructions from the Government at home?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONsaid, he had not seen the report to which his hon. Friend alluded, but he had no hesitation in saying that there was not the slightest foundation for any such report. It was highly improbable that the Austrian Government would ask the advice of any foreign Minister with regard to their internal arrangements. All foreign Ministers accredited to Vienna know too well the habits and feelings of the Austrian Government to intrude their advice without its being asked for.
