asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he has observed a statement going the round of all our newspapers, said to be copied from the "New York Times," stating that "President Grant had requested General Schenck to resign in compliance with a demand from the British Government for his immediate recall;" and, if he has any objection to say if there is any foundation for the statement that any such demand was made by Her Majesty's Government?

MR. BOURKE
