§ MR.

§ MR. BOURKESir, Her Majesty's Representatives at Munich, Stuttgardt, Dresden, Darmstadt, and Baden were instructed, on the 3rd of this month, to furnish, with as little delay as possible, the additional information required respecting Monastic Institutions.

As to recent legislation in Austria, there will be no objection to lay the few Papers we have upon the subject on the Table, and I will endeavour to obtain further information for my hon.
