WARDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had received any protest from the representatives of the Republic of Portugal against the use which was being made by certain aliens of the right of asylum in this country to conspire against the Portuguese Government; and, if so, would he state what action he proposed to take to prevent our shores from being used for such conduct?
§ Mr. J. WARDHas the hon. Gentleman seen the report in "The Times," where it was stated by one of the revolutionary officers that King Manoel had been assisting in the organisation of this force, and was ready to take command of it at any time?
