§ MR. MOON (St. Pancras, N.)To ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will state what are the duties of the Commissioner for the Navigation of the Danube, and whether he holds any other office (Civil Service Estimates, Glass A., Vote 1, Item K).
(Answer.) By Article 16 of the Treaty of Paris of 30th March, 1856, it was agreed that, with a view to carrying out the arrangements of the preceding Article relative to the navigation of the Danube, a Commission, on which each of the high contracting parties should be represented by a delegate, should be charged to designate and to cause to be executed certain works, and to settle the dues for defraying the expenses connected with them. The British Commissionership has been for many years past combined with the Consular Post at Galatz.—(Foreign Office.)
