MR. BOURKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If negotiations are still pending with the Porte upon the subject of the Commissioners sent by the Sultan to Egypt last autumn, and also upon the subject of the despatch of the French and English ships of war to the coast of Egypt; and, if not, if he would state why Papers cannot be presented to Parliament with respect to these questions?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, Papers are being prepared, and will shortly be laid on the Table, which will include Correspondence on both the questions referred to by my right hon. Friend.
