§ MR. DU CANEsaid, he wished to ask the President of the Board of Trade, Whether any answer has been received from the French Government relative to the proposed International Commission on the subject of the English and French Fisheries Convention Act; and, if so, whether he will have any objection to communicate to the House the general tenour of such answer?
§ MR. MILNER GIBSONsaid, in reply, that an answer had been received from the French Government in reference to the Fisheries Convention; but, as negotiations were still pending, it would not at present be expedient to state the substance of that reply.
