§ LORD ROBERT MONTAGUsaid, he wished to know upon whose authority the troops of the Line and Marines have been sent to Japan? If they are sent by the authority of the Cabinet they can state their reasons. If not, they must have been sent by the authority of some subordinate authority. He should like to know whether it is constitutional for anybody to involve the country in war, and whether the Despatch of General Brown will be laid on the table previous to the debate?
