§ MR. BOURKEasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he can lay upon the Table of the House the Correspondence which took place last autumn between Her Majesty's Government and the Government of the Sultan, with respect to the despatch of Commissioners to Egypt by His Majesty, and the Correspondence respecting the English and French men-of-war which proceeded to the Coast of Egypt at that time; and, the Despatches of Sir Edward Malet on this subject, as well as the Correspondence between Her Majesty's Government and the French Government with regard to these questions?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKENo, Sir; I am afraid these Papers must be covered by the statement which I made a few days ago, and which was also made in "another place," and accepted by the Leader of the Conservative Party 499 —namely, that it would not be advisable to lay these Papers on the Table at present.
