§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONhaving moved that the Orders of the Day be postponed till after the notice of Motion relative to Denmark and Germany, said: I am bound to state to the House that we have received to-day a communication from the Prussian Ambassador with reference to the correspondence which has been published in one of the morning newspapers. I will not read the whole of the communication, but in it he says that since that newspaper has, notwithstanding the official denial which has been given, published despatches which are fabrications from beginning to end, and thinking that some question might be asked me in this House concerning them, he deems it his duty to tell me, "with all the authority of my official character, that, as far as my Government is concerned, all this pretended correspondence is a complete invention."
§ Motion agreed to.
§ Ordered, That the Orders of the Day be postponed till after the Notice of Motion relative to Denmark and Germany.—(Viscount Palmerston.)
