§ COLONEL FRENCHsaid, he rose to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, What friendly Power he means to propose as Arbitrator to decide on the compensation Captain Melville White is entitled to for the treatment he received from Government Officials in Peru?
§ MR. LAYARDsaid, he though this hon. and gallant Friend must have beer, misled by Captain Melville White's statement. He (Mr. Layard) could satisfy the hon. and gallant Gentleman, by the production of letters, that what he had stated was true. As regarded the matter of arbitration, a correspondence was still going on between Her Majesty's Government and the Government of Peru. Nothing, however, had as yet been decided upon.
