§ MR. JOSEPH WALTONI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information to the effect that an agreement has been concluded by Russia with the Korean Government giving Russia an exclusive settlement for her naval needs at Masampho Harbour; and if so, what steps Her Majesty's Government propose to take in view of this violation of the assurance given by Russia in 1886, that in event of the English occupation of Port Hamilton ceasing, Russia would undertake not to interfere with Korean territory under any circumstances. As the right hon. Gentleman answered questions relative to this matter yesterday, will he now say whether he has any further information to give the House?
§ * MR. BRODRICKI have nothing to; add to the statement which I made yesterday on the subject.†
