MR. MAGNIAC

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government are in possession of the terms of the Treaty lately made between Russia and China; and, if so, whether it is in his power to communicate them to the House, either by laying them on the Table or otherwise?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, Her Majesty's Government are generally acquainted with the terms of the Treaty between Russia and China which Lord Dufferin reported to have been signed at St. Petersburg on the 24th ultimo, and as soon as Her Majesty's Government are in possession of a formal copy it will be laid on the Table of the House.
