§ MR. O'DONNELLasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Why so many gaps marked by asterisks are in the Correspondence relating to the Palmer Expedition; if he has seen in the "Times" of the 2nd instant letters and depositions of Colonel Warren and other persons which have been 1428 omitted from the Correspondence submitted to the House; and, if he will supply these omissions?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANSir, the passages omitted from the published Correspondence relating to the Palmer Expedition either refer to matters unconnected with the subject, or to individuals whose names it was undesirable to introduce. There are only one or two exceptions, in which passages were omitted for other reasons; but the published Correspondence contains everything material to the question, and especially everything connected with the proof of the guilt of the culprits. Some further letters have arrived from Colonel Warren, which will, if desired, be laid upon the Table.
