§ MR. BAILLIE COCHRANEsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the communications which have passed between Her Majesty's Government and the Commissioners from Canada has led to any change of view respecting the amount to be expended on fortifications in our North American Colonies?
§ MR. CARDWELLsaid, in reply, that as soon as the communications referred to had arrived at any result no time would be lost in making them known to the House. In the meantime it would not be desirable to make any statement upon the subject.
