§ MR. WARNERsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether there is any foundation for a statement which has appeared in the Owl newspaper to the effect that a perfect understanding has been arrived at between Her Majesty's Government and the Canadian Delegates; and, if so, when he will be prepared to acquaint the House with the precise terms of the arrangement?
§ MR. CARDWELLSir, the conferences between Her Majesty's Government and the Ministers from Canada have not yet been brought to a close, but I hope very soon to be able to report the result of those conferences to the House.
