§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYI wish to ask the noble Earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government have received any further information with respect to Madagascar?
§ EARL GRANVILLEThe Government have no further information with respect to the events alluded to by the noble Marquess than that which has been already stated in the telegraphic despatches of the Vice Consul at Zanzibar, and of the Captain of Her Majesty's Ship Dryad. The despatches received only referred to events which occurred up to the 14th of June. Up to that period the French Consul at Tamatave appeared to have behaved with great courtesy to the English Consul.
