§ MR. ROEBUCKsaid, he wished to renew a Question he had put to the noble Lord at the head of the Government the other evening, which the noble Lord said he was not able to answer off-hand—a remarkable answer for him. Presuming that inquiry had since been made, he wished to know, Why it was that any despatches which might have been received from foreign Governments respecting the affairs of Greece had not been laid with the other papers on the table of the House?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTON—I think the Question put by my hon. and learned Friend, as I recollect it, was whether any despatch had been received from the Aus- 413 trian Government on the subject of the cession of the Ionian Islands.
§ MR. ROEBUCK—That was part of the Question.
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTON—No such despatch has been received; and no despatch has been received on that subject from any other Government.
