HC Deb 27 February 1877 vol 232 cc1092-3
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether his attention has been called to a telegraphic despatch in the Second Edition of the "Times" of this day stating that orders have been given for the demobilization of the Russian Army on the conclusion of peace between Turkey and Servia and Montenegro; and, whether any information has been received on this subject at the Foreign Office either from Her Majesty's Embassy at St. Petersburg or from the Russian Embassy in London?

MR. BOURKE

No confirmation, Sir, has yet been received officially at the Foreign Office of this statement. I am also commissioned by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to state that he called this afternoon on the Russian Ambassador, who had not received any official information on the subject.
