THE MARQUESS OF NORMANBY

wished to inquire of the noble Earl (Earl Russell), Whether there was any truth in the statement which appeared two or three days ago in some of the French semi-official papers, to the effect that the family of the young King of Greece had declared in London, that His Majesty would not start for his destination until some arrangement had been made between the English Government and the National Assembly of Greece for the temporary occupation of that kingdom by British troops?

EARL RUSSELL

said, that no such intimation had been made to the English Government.

THE MARQUESS OF NORMANBY

said, the statement appeared in La France, a paper supposed to be as official in Paris as The Observer was in London.
