§ MR. W. E. FORSTERasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether lie can inform the House what arrangements Her Majesty's Government contemplate with regard to the Embassy at Constantinople?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERMr. Speaker, as it is of importance that Her Majesty should be represented at the Porte by a representative of higher rank than a Charge d' Affaires, and as Sir Henry Elliot is not at present able to return to that post, Her Majesty's Government are considering what arrangements can be made; but my noble Friend (Lord Derby) is not at the present moment able to enter into particulars on the subject.
