§ MR. MONTAGU SCOTT(for Mr. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT) asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If Her Majesty's Ministers will lay upon the Table the words of
The expression of regret to the French Republic, in which Her Majesty's Government associated itself with that of Egypt;and, whether it is true that The Bosphore Egyptian is shortly to re-appear?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEThe words used by Earl Granville to the French Ambassador were recorded in a despatch to Her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris, which will be laid before Parliament. I am informed that the owner or editor of the paper has announced that it will appear in a few days. I have no reason to believe that this will be the case.
SIR E. ASSHETON CROSSsaid, that the Prime Minister had stated that the Papers could not be laid upon the Table until the unknown future had been rather more unrolled. He should like to know when they were to have Papers laid on the Table relating to matters as far as they had gone, and down to what date the Papers would go?
MR. GLADSTONEThe right hon. Gentleman has substantially conceived the Question in a proper manner, and conveys it very properly in his own poetical phraseology.
