MR. GLADSTONEasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he can give to Parliament any information on the subject of a statement from St. Petersburgh recently published in this country, to the effect that on or about 30th January the Austrian Government announced to Prince Gortchakoff that in the present negotiations
the matters specially affecting Austrian interests were the situation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the territorial aggrandizement of Servia and Montenegro, and the temporary occupation of Bulgaria by Russian troops?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERNo, Sir; we have no information on this subject; and I think it is hardly to be expected that we should be able to give information as to communications between two foreign Governments.
