§ MR. BAILLIE COCHRANEasked the First Lord of the Treasury, If he has recently received a Circular from the Spanish Government respecting the International Society; and, if so, whether he will lay it upon the Table? He also asked, Whether the right hon. Gentleman will object to lay on the Table a Despatch from the French Secretary for Foreign Affairs, received in the course of last year, in reference to the same subject?
MR. GLADSTONEsaid, in reply, that a circular had been received from the Spanish Secretary of State relating to the International Society, and a reply 245 had been returned to it. There would be no objection to produce this correspondence. He did not at the moment remember whether any despatch had been received from the French Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and could not, therefore, answer the Question without Notice.
