§ MR. CARTWRIGHTasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, What arrangements have been made for the diplomatic representation of this Country at Constantinople pending the arrival of Sir E. Thornton?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICESir W. Hay White, Her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of Roumania, is temporarily in charge of the Embassy at Constantinople, and has been specially accredited to the Sultan as Envoy Extraordinary ad interim pending the arrival of Sir Edward Thornton, who is unavoidably detained for the present at St. Petersburg. It was necessary to make this provisional arrangement, as Mr. Wyndham, the previous Secretary to the Embassy, who has discharged the duties of Chargé d' Affaires with great ability, and to the entire satisfaction of Her Majesty's Government, was required to proceed to Belgrade to take up his appointment as Minister there.
