§ MR. WATKINsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, When he proposes to lay further Papers before the House in reference to the questions under discussion between the Government of Her Majesty and the Government of the United States; and whether he proposes before the House adjourns to make any statement to the House as to the negotiations which have been in progress during his period in office?
LORD STANLEYI shall be quite ready to lay upon the table such Papers as there are before the adjournment. They are very brief. Indeed, they consist of only two despatches, and, as they will tell their own story, I do not see that there is any occasion for me to make any statement on the subject.
