MR. BOURKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, How much longer is this Country to be left unrepresented by an Ambassador at the Ottoman Porte?

Sir Edward Thornton will proceed to Constantinople as Her Majesty's Ambassador as soon as the requirements of the Public Service will permit of his leaving St. Petersburg.
