LORD CAMPBELL

said, he had given Notice for that evening to move— For Copies of all the Imperial decrees capitulations, and conventions of any kind which entitle Great Britain to intervene against abuses in the government of the Porte and. in favour of the races subject to it, without reference to the Treaties formed after the Crimean war for upholding the independence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire. He understood that the negotiations between this country and Russia were still going on, and that while they were pending there could not be a discussion on his Motion without the greatest inconvenience. He therefore begged to postpone his Motion till the first day on which the House met after the Easter Recess.
