asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If it is true that great numbers of Circassians have been landed by the Turkish Government on the coast of Syria, causing much alarm among the inhabitants; and if any Reports on the subject have been received from the British Consuls in that country?

MR. BOURKE

Sir, we have heard that a large number of Circassians have been landed on the coast of Syria, and several Reports on the subject have been received from the Consular officers.
