§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYMy Lords, I want to ask the noble Earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a Question which is always of great interest to many persons, and of which I have given the noble Earl private Notice; I wish to know, whether any intelligence has reached the Government from General Gordon within the last few hours?
§ EARL GRANVILLEMy Lords, I regret to say I must give an answer to the noble Marquess's Question in the negative.
