§ MR. W. E. FORSTERasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he will lay upon the Table of the House the Emigration Treaty stated by Mr. Consul General Cowper, in his Despatch of May 13, to have been recently concluded between Spain and China; and, whether the Government can give any information with regard to such Treaty having been carried into effect, or any Despatches from Her Majesty's Ministers or Consuls in China on the subject?
§ MR. BOURKE, in reply, said, that according to the last Reports received from Madrid, the Spanish Government before ratifying the Treaty wished to make some alterations in it; and consequently he was not in a position to lay the Treaty on the Table at that moment. The Treaty had not been carried into effect. He would look through the Papers, and if there was anything of interest contained in them relating to this subject, he should have no objection to produce it.
