Tho Earl of ELLENBOROUG H. —My lords, as I see the noble lord the Minister for War in his place, I wish toask him a question which relates to a subject which has ex cited a great deal of interest. The first question relates to the position of the officers of the army of the East India Company as compared with that of the officers in the ser vice of her Majesty's army. A memorandum, dated the 25th of April, has appeared in the Gazette, which states that-- "In order to remove any doubt which may exist as to the rank and precedence of the officers of the Hon. East India Company's Service, it is her Majesty's pleasure that officers of the Hon. East India Company's Service, whose commissions shall be signed by authorities duly deputed to do so by her Majesty, shall have rank and precedence with officers of her Majesty's regular army, according to the dates of their commission, in all parts of her Majesty's do minions or elsewhere." Now, the officers of the Indian army have by common courtesy held in this country the same rank and precedence as the officers of the army of the Queen,t and no doubt it will be agreeable to them to have their right to such rank and precedence properly established, instead of merely holding it by courtesy ; but what I wish to know is if this memorandum relates merely to their position in society; because, if so, I should have thought that it would have more properly proceeded from the office of the Earl Mar- shal, or of the Lord ChambeLlain, than from the War office. I cannot help feeling that this memorandum, in. stead of raising hopes of further advantage to the officers of the Indian army, will rather tend to disappoint hopes which may have been entertained that the Government were prepared to go further, - and to give to all officers holding brevet rank is India the same brevet rank in her Majesty's dominions here and elsewhere. Your lordships must be aware that from the year 1838, for nearly ten years, a great war raged in our Indian dominions, and that, therefore, the officers of the Indian service have had the opportunity of making themselves acquainted with the practice and science of war—an advantage which has not been enjoyed by the officers of her Majesty's army, with the exception of those who have served in India. I rejoice, my lords, that there are some officers in the army in the Crimea who have seen service in India. Gene ral Simpson, the head of the staff, General Pennefathor, General Sir Colin Campbell, all holding high command, I and enjoying to a considerable extent the confiden ce o f I those under their command, and also Col. M`Murdo, the head of the land transport service, and Col. Harding, the Commandant at Balaklava, who is, I believe, no relation of my noble and gallant friend opposite—all these officers have seen service in India, and all of them acquired a knowledge of war under the late Sir C. Napier. There are other officers also who have enjoyed similar opportunities of acquiring a knowledge of their profession, and who have commanded with distinction brigades which con tained regiments of her Majesty's troops, and who have obtained great distinction in the Qiu.rtermaster-General's Department. It appears to me to be contrary to all reason that, when we have at our disposal officers who have ac quired distinction in command where war has been carried on on a great scale, we should decline to avail our selves of their services, and should employ the services of officers who, whatever may be their claim to dis tinction, have had no opportunity of showing any talent for war. It cannot surely be held that to appoint Ipdian officers to command would be an invasion of the privileges of her Majesty's service. At a recent period, and contrary to all former rule, a regulation of the East luda Company had been made, permitting officers of her Majesty's service to hold staff appointments of a particular description, and not less than 12 officers of that service now hold appoint ments which they could not formerly have held. Why, then, should there not be a reciprocity, and Indiln officers be admitted to staff appointments us officers of her Majesty's service are admitted to such appointments in India? I cannot conceal from myself, nor do I think that any of your lordships can be blind to the fact, that a great and growing feeling of dissatisfaction - exists throughout the country with regard to the conduct of the war, and that feeling is assuming proportions which are extremely alarming; and I much fear that, unless it be determined by her Majesty's Govern ment to place the fittest, men in command of all the divisions and brigades of the army and in situations on the staff—l much fear, I say, that a feeling will grow up with respect to persons in authority—(hear, hear) —and which will be fatal not only to her Majesty's Government, but which will go much further, and which will endanger tha constitution of Government itself. (Heal, hear.) I wish to ask the noble lord another question, relating to a dif ferent subject. I see there is a memorandum, dated April 30, which raises the bounty given to men enlisting for two years to the same amount as that given to men enlisting for a longer period. Now, with regard to that memoran dum, I wish to know whether it is to be understood as establishing the principle that the bounty given to men who enlist for a longer period is to be the same as given to men who enlist for two years only ? If that be so, I fear that the result will be that all persons who are desirous of enlisting will enlist for this short period, because, at the end oti that period, they will have the option of engaging for a longer service, and with the certainty of receiving some farther bounty. It seems to me, too, that men who enlist for the longer period settle down better to the work and become better soldiers than those who enlist for two years only, and I would therefore prefer enlisting men for the longer period. But of this I am quite sure—that if the same bounty is given to men who enlist for two years as to those who enlist for a longer period, all will be desirous of enlisting for two years. I think that when this memorandum was issued it would have been advisable to notify that, if the bounty given to men enlisting for two years was to be raised to the same amount as that given to men enlisting for the longer period the bounty of men enlisting for the longer period would also be increased. I fear, however, that the noble lord has 'made the same mistake with regard to the bounty offered as was made in the case of the militia, and the consequences of which we all so deeply deplore. My own impression is that, if instead 'Of offering the limited bounty of 20s. upon re-attestation, a higher bounty had been offered, a very large number of men would nave been retained in the ranks of the militia who have now returned to their homes. There is another point to which I wish to call the attention of the noble lord. I am told that steps have been 'taken to engage the services of 1,000 navvies to work in the trenches, and that these navvies are to be placed under a gentleman who is to have a salary of 2,0001. a year, that is a salary which, within 761., is equal to that of a lieutenant-general, and superior . by about 2001. to the salary of the officers attached to the quartermaster-general's department. I take it for granted that those navvies will not consent to serve for the same pay as that given to the Sappers and Miners, and it is a mat ter of serious consideration whether men employed in the same duties and exposed to the same danger should be paid at different rates. What I desire to know is, whe ther it is true that it is intended to form a corps of this description, and, if so, whether it is to be of a military or civil character ? I can hardly imagine it can be of a civil character, because it must be employed under fire like the rest of the troops ; but if it be of a mili tary character, what rank is to be given to this gen tleman who is to be rewarded with a salary which sur passes that of any officer on the quartermaster-g eneral's staff; what diff er en ce i s th ere t o b e between this body of 1,000 men and the Sappers and Miners ; what authority is to bo given to the officers commanding them; and under what authority are he men to serve? Lord PANMURE—My lords, upon former occasions I have had to complain that when questions were asked no tice was not given beforehand of the subject to which noble lords intended to refer, but I am bound to state that in all cases in which questions have been addressed to me by the noble earl opposite I have always received the fullest in formation respecting the intended question and the nature and extent of the answer which he expected to receive. This },as enabled me not only to mee t t h e noble earl in the same spirit evinced by him to myself, but also to give your lordships the fullest information in my power upon the subjects to which be so ably refers. With reference to the question which the noble earl has addressed to me on the subject of Indian officers, I may state that the memoran dum to which he adverts goes no further in its spirit than it does in its letter—namely, to confer upon those officers a suitable position and authority, which has hitherto been recognised by courtesy, but with respect to which some doubt previously existed. No one can rejoice more than I do at any mark of favour bestowed upon officers of the Indian army,and no one would be more unwilling than my self to say anything which tends to detract from the praise which is due to them. They have for a very long period maintained the honour of the British name throughout the vast territory in which that army has served, they have maintained the integrity of the Indian portion of the em pire, and they have assisted in extending it ; still it is my opinion, as well as that of many others, that the services and distinctions of the Indian officers have been somewhat unfairly used to put iu the back ground, by comparison, the services and distinctions of the officers of the Queen's service. I think, in a military point of view, the opportu nities those officers have had of practically learning the art of war have certainly given them great advantages; but I do not hold that those advantages ought to entitle them to more than fair consideration, and, they should not be used as an argument to prevent us from giving the officers in the Queen's service the fair opportunities which that ser vice affords of showing whether they are able t 3 carry out in practice the military knowledge whieh they alreadypos sess in theory. I cannot see, my lords, because the Indian officers have already carved with their swords the way to military distinction wby the same opportunities should be denied to the Queen's officers of carving with their swords the way to the same military distinctions. I have seen it stated that the officers in the Queen's service are now classed in two classes—the Peniusulars, who are said to be too old to be effective, and the Know-nothings, who are too young. That is nut a fair mode of treating the officers of her Ma jesty's army; for, preserving my opinion that the services which are most calculated to advance the interests of the country ought to be taken advantage of, I know ofnereason why well educated and well trained British officers should not be allowed to go into active service in connection with the establishment. I am not one of thosewh o o ffi sv u o e t i i s td o a f do tu p e t the course of confining the services of the Queen's army, whether b e longingt li o ke tl t t h e e es Q ta u b ee li n ste l i a l e o r r s to the Indian army—for they are a —and I am not nisi-row-mind? enough ought to make a distinction between matterseens to think that we theoceriss of s twh,e it t w i o s services. Although progress iu t also sure, and, to the fact as an instance of the ma t n t n h e a r t i i n n tr t - h h e ic a h et th o e f subject is treated, I may of refer C om mander-in-Chief of the Indian openalarsnitysewssaiosuthtrhoelocnifi-ce _ w i t i o h the regardoffi officers of the ef question t i E o a u s t o f I Lii ff a Conti to which the noble earl has alluded, I am given situ nay'sel , 9 to understand that, more by accident than from any other c ause, it happens that the staff situationsin England were so numerous that have been filled by officers of the In div, as my, very much to the detriment of the performance of the regimental duties of that army ; and it was found necessary to recall some of those officers to their regimental t:isand fill their places by officers of the Queen's army. Those are the circumstances, I am told, which form the, ground of the statement which the noble earl has just ' wade. I do riot believe that the officers of the Indian army were superseded by officers in the Queen's service, but I am informed that it arose from the number of officers on the staff appointments, and that the change was necessary, in order that th• r , zinie-Its in India should be made the Wore efficient. With I eference to the next question— namely, the bounty given to the recruits, that is a subject to Ns-high my attention was called by the Commander-in- Chief when the net was first introduced. My noble flieud asked if it was intended to sanction the principle that men enlisting under the new act should receive the same bounty as the men who enlisted under the act of 1847. After ma turely considering the subject—taking into view the fact that the men enlisted under the act of P 47 were enlisted at the age of 18 for 10 or 12 years, that they had the op portunity, after 5 years' service, of acquiring an addition to their pay for good service, and that they had the oppor tunity, after th e expiration of their first term of service, of re-engaging themselves fur a second period ; 24a n forta g s e 8 as lie', V frar i vto l limcwaeoCtetc p robably hi r e w, h taking also int o cons i deration that none of these ad v to a oh r t 7 h tts e i r eomfbeeeni years, who be enlist that theat t he m e n age who of to Z a w t o h u e l a d ge b s e o . f e 2 v 4 e a n n if i 35, would who, e not efficiently drilled, efficient as strong men—l did not feel myself justified in giving to those men a lower rate of bounty. It must be remembered, too, that none of these regulations are permanent, but may be varied according to circumstances ; and if I find that that arrangement is such as to create discontent or prevent the enlistment of young men of 18 years and upwards, I may consider whether some alteration may not be required. With regard, my lords, to a general increase of bounty, 'perfectly agree with the noble earl that an increased bounty will, at all times, obtain an increased number of recruits, and probably be fore very long I may have to propose to your lordships to increase the bounty in order to augment the army. But it is natural that I should not wish to take that course until it is absolutely necessary. With regard to the question of navvies, it is the intention of the Government to form a corps of navvies, not for the pur pose of working specially in the trenches, but for carrying on the general work of the army, which has hitherto been done by the Sappers and Miners and by the private soldiers, and the execution of which I am sorry to say has hitherto been detrimental to the health of the men. In order to obviate the difficulties suggested, and to carry out the views of the noble earl of having as many fighting men as pos sible at our disposal, it is intended to attach, under the command of the engineers, a body of navvies of stout work ing men, who will be sent out for the purpose of working either in the trenches or in the camp, as circumstances may require, while the army is engaged in the siege. No defi nite sum has been fixed upon as the amount of payment to these individuals ; but it is utterly impossible to expect that men will come from civil employments, either in the capacity of labourers or of directors, for the usual pay given to persons in her Majesty's service. I have only this to say, that I shall endeavour, if I think it for the public service, to obtain proper men at the lowest possible remu neration ; and I shall not recommend the adoption of any such corps unless I am convinced that the benefit likely to result from its adoption will be so great as to counterpoise the inconvenience that cannot fail to arise from employing individuals at a higher rate of pay than that paid to the officers and men belonging to her Majesty's service. These men would be under' he command of Major-General Jones; all the arrangements would be directed entirely by him, the men being at the same time under the immediate con trol of their own superintendents. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said that the appoint ment of her Majesty's officers on the staff of the Indian army was not an exceptional case, but was in consequence of the adoption of a new principle ; there must, however, have been sufficient authority to warrant that alteration of the rule. No doubt the paucity of officers in the Indian army might have been the cause of the alteration, but it certainly involved altogether a now principle. EMBARKATION OF TROOPS TO THE CRIMEA. The Marquis of SALISBURY rose for the purpose of repeating the question which he put to the noble lord the Secretary for War on a previous evening. The noble lord on that occasion complained that the notice of the question he (the Marquis of Salisbury) intended to put was not suf- ficiently explicit. He could assure the noble lord that it was not from any want of courtesy that he did not in his notice enter more into detail. The whole matter was comprised in the very smallest compass, as it was simply reminding the noble lord what must have passed through his own office. With regard to what occurred the other night, their lordships must be convinced of one fact, namely, that the noble baron knew nothing of the circum stances of the case. On that occasion the ipble baron laid the whole Llama of the transaction on the quartermaster general. Whether that was just or not it was not for him to say ; but he thought, after that imputation by the noble lord, the country had a right to know on whom the blame ought to rest, and who were the parties by whom a body of troops were despatched for foreign service. He had always understood that, when the Minister for War had received her Majesty's commands for such a purpose, he communicated with the Commander•in-Chiel at the Horse Guard., and that, after conferring togothor they made an application to the Admiralty for the transport of those troops ; the quartermaster-general was then directed to take measures for their removal. It was esientially ne cessary to know who was to blame in this matter, and why the Guards were sent to Portsmouth for embarkation before the ship Alma was ready to receive them. The blame of this transaction had been shifted from one quar ter to another until it was impossible to find to whom it should attach. Ho hoped, therefore, the noble baron would be able to give their lordships some information on the subject. Lord PANMURE said, nothing had been furth er f rom his intention than to contradict anything which the noble marquis had stated. What he had said w .s, that he had heard for the first time from the noble marquis that the events to which he had called attention had taken place. If the noble marquis had given him notice of his inten tion to call attention to those events, he would have pre pared himself to give an explanation of them, and would have entered into the details of the facts the other night ; but all the notice he had received was, that the noble mar quis intended to put a question with regard to the embar cation of the Guards on board the Alma. The noble mar quis asked what were the regulations for the embarkation of troops for foreign service? It rested with the Comman der-in-Chief to make arrangements with the Admiralty and the other authorities as to the embarkation of the troops that might be required ; and the War Department, having signified to the Transport Board the number of troops that were to embark and the time of the embarka tion, the Transport Board provided tonnage for those troops by the day named. On the 20th of March the Admiralty had notified to the War Department that the Alma would be ready about the sth of April to receive 1,420 men. The Alma was fitted at Liverpool, and 420 men of the 18th, 71st, and 50th Regiments were embarked there ; she then went to Portsmouth to embark the Guards. She had been surveyed by the officer attached to the transport department at Liverpool, and re ported to be fitted to carry 1,420 men, and she had also been passed by Colonel Scott, the inspecting officer at Li verpool, as fitted to carry that number. When she wont round to Portsmouth she was reported by the officer there to be incapable of carrying that number, and he believed this report arose from the fact that, while at Liverpool they had calculated that a certain number of men would be constantly on deck and upon watch, they had not taken that circumstance into consideration at Portsmouth. The authorities therefore deterthined that the vessel could not carry more than 1,048 men. In consequence of this re port the detachment of the 18th, 71st and 40th Regi ments were disembarked at Portsmouth, were marched into barracks, and remained at the depot waiting for further orders. His noble friend (Lord Hardinge) re minded him that the commanding officer at Liverpool had written to say that the ship was capable of cam ry ing 1,420 men. After some delay—which he thought bad been somewhat exaggerated—in landing the detachments and embarking the Guards, the vessel had sail e d. A statement had been m a d e that a large portion of the baggage of the troops which had disembarked were carried 'in the Alma to the Crimea. He had found, upon inquiry, that nothing belonging to those troops was carried off, ex cept a couple of articles belonging to two officers, and he was sure that if they had taken the smallest pains both of those articles would have been rescued. There had been some mistake with regard to the embarkation of the baggage belonging, not to the detachment of the Guards which then embarked, but to the Guards already in the Crimea. With regard to the orders and counter orders which had been issued, he had to state, that two of these counter orders had arisen from the fact that a storm had taken place at Portsmouth, which had prevented the Alma from being brought into a position proper for the embarkation of the troops, bat due notice of this circumstance had been given to the troops before they had left London. He had received communications from officers who sailed in the vessel, to the effect that, whether as regarded their ac commodation or that of the men, none of them had ever experienced more comfort in a transport, nor had the health of the men ever been a subject of less anxiety than while they hail been on board the Alma. With regard to another question of the noble marquis, ho begged to state, that it was his impression that every regiment which had embarked from this country had embarked with the Minie rifles. He was happy to state that all the men who cm barked for the East, whether in regiments or detachments were, as far as possible, trained to the use of the Minie rifle. It was desirable to carry on the usual drill on board the vessel, and they were armed with the smooth-bore musket, which they exchanged at Constantinople for the Minie rifle, which was kept in store there for that purpose He thought this a sufficient explanation of the circum stances ; and he had further to say, that the result of the inquiries he had made convinced him that the Quarter master-General was free from all personal blame in the matter, and that if any confusion had taken place it lay between the district officers a; Livepool and at Ports mouth, who hail reported differently as to the capa city of the ship and the number of men she could properly carry. There was a desire to send the men on board as quickly as possible, and if an error had been made it was on the right side—namely, to adopt that ar rangement which enabled the troops to be conveyed with the greatest comfort. The result was that there had been no complaint of overcrowding, and, indeed, none could arise in this case. ----- -- ---- ---- , The Earl of HARDWICKE regarded the present discus sion as throwing some light on the present state of the War Department. It was curious to see a noble lord ente,ring upon details connected with a great branch of the s ervice who had been brought up to civil life (for his having been bred a soldier was an accident) while the C o rnmander b i e n d Chief of the army, who .as one of tl-e most dis tio g uis .. soldiers in Europe, and who had all the details ofpiear:l3ra at his fingers' ends, had to sit by and tutor a civi lian a bit of machinery that would not work .

Lord RAVENS WORTH asked for the usual indulgence of their lordships in rising to address them for the first time, and said that he might be allowed to express his t concern that circumstances rendered the presentation and acceptation of the bill 1. - Afore their lordships almost impera tive—he alluded to the failure of those negotiations at Vienna, which he and the country were led to consider as evidence of the prolongation of the war. He had hoped, as peace was the evident wish and interest of all parties, that some pacific arrangements might have been entered into, and he deeply regretted that these expectations had been disappointed. As, however, they had but war in prospect, it became their duty to turn their attention to the means by which the war might be carried on. He found that two burdens of no inconsiderable extent were to be entailed upon the country, and of those the present bill for raising by loan 1 6,000,000/. formed an important item.

If there had been reason for believing that the war would have :d in six or twelve months, then he should have concu with those who considered it unwise to resort to this mode of indirect taxation by levying additional duty on articles which entered so largely into the consumption of the work ing classes, and which would tend to disturb those arrange. ments in taxation which had been made with the general consent of the people. If, on the other hand, there was reason—and he feared there was too much—to apprehend that war would be prolonged much beyond 12 months, then he agreed with the policy which included articles of general consumption in the means for raising the required amount to carry on the war. Such he knew were the feel ings of the mercantile classes, and he did not hesitate to give his sanction to and express his opinion upon them. He must confess that the prospects before us were dis heartening, and express the concern of this country and of the whole of Europe that negotiations for peace had been brought to a close; and he only hoped that those mistakes which had arisen in carrying on the war on the part of the Government, and that the profuse expenditure of the pub lic money without adequate results, would also be brought to a close. (Hear, hear.) He considered that up •to this moment her Majesty's Government had not taken all the steps which they might have taken towards bringing the war to a close. He could not help reverting to this time last year, when, in the estimates before their lordships, the expense of carrying troops as far as Malta was contem plated, and, at the same time, the expense of the return of those troops was also estimated. (Hear, hear.) He could not help recollecting that the noble. lord, one of the most distinguished members of her Majesty's Government, in another place, whom he could only de scribe as the unsuccessful negotiator of the interests of this country at Vienna, seemed last year to entertain a trifling opinion of the war iu which they were about to engage, and declared thot it was so far from being an objection to the reform measure which he introduced, that he con sidered it rather favourable at the same time that they were entering upon a war with the most colossal Power in Europe to engage also in the e civil ar of - discussing reform in Parliament. These considerations would now press on his mind, because he had seen what the Government had attempted, and also that they were not even at present fully aware of the importance of having recourse to all their resources for the purpose of patting an end to the war. Although the Government had called on the people for large supplies, they had as yet neglected to avail them selves of other means in their power of distressing the enemy. The important question relating to the com merce of Russia had been brought before their lord ships about a week ago; but owing to the limited num ber of peers present it did not receive much discussion. This was a question on which he felt so strongly that he intended to place a notice of motion on the paper for the purpose of again bringing this question under their lord ships' consideration. Having now shadowed out some of the main objections entertained to this loan, and in doing so discharged what he felt to be a duty, he would not tres pass further on the attention of their lordships but would conclude by thanking them for the indulgence which they had extended to him. The bill was then read a second time. DRAINAGE AND WATER SUPPLY. The Earl of CAERNARVON presented a petition from the Metropolitan Sanitary Commission as to drainage and water supply. He described the system of drainage and water supply now in force, both of which he said were in efficient. Lie said the stateliest mansions in the metropolis had lying under them masses of decomposing matter, and the very walls of that house were sapped by pestilent abo minations. Considering the fatal results attending .the visitations of cholera, he urged on their lordships the ne cessity of souse measures being taken to render drainage more perfect, and to obtain better and more plentiful sup plies of water. THE VIENNA CONFERENCE. The Earl of CLARENDON— My lords; before Your lordships adjourn I wish to take the opportunity of apolo gising to . my , noble friend opposite for having quitted , the house on a previous occasion. My absence gave rise to some remarks on his part, of which I do not complain, because it is my business to be here, to answer any pardon which may be put to me with regard to the department over which I. have the honour to preside ; bat I quitted the house upon that occasion because there was a great deal of business at the Foreign-office waiting my return, and becauselthought that my noble friend behind me (the Marquis of Lansdowne) had stated that the Government would lose no time in giving to your lordships the information which you have a perfect right to expect. I hope that your lordships are not under an erroneous impression that the Government have any desire to withhold from your lordships any information, and, for my own part, I hope that I am able to say with justice that I have never shown myself unwilling to answer any question which has been put to me, or to afford any information which it was in yap power to give ; and I consider that duty especially incumbent upon me at the present moment of intense and natural anxiety might:Juliacpasehaen to be correctly informed with respect to passing events. Nevertheless, I have too often experienced your lordships' kind indulgence not to feel sure that evdn now you will not wish me to divulge anything which might be injurious to the interests of the service. My lords, as a proof of `lie spirit in whiCh the negotiations at Vienna were car ried or, and of the desire of the representatives of France and England to do nothing which could offend the honour and dignity of Russia—as I mentioned the other even ing in answer to a question put to me by my noble friend —the Russian Plenipotentiaries were invited themselves to take the initiative, and to propose some method by which they thought they could carry out the principle to which they had assented. • The Russian Plenipo tentiaries acknowledged as, indeed, they could not help acknowledging—the spirit in which that proposal was made; but, somewhat to the surprise of theirtree_ col leagues, announced that they were without . a t n w y a i e ns tious upon that important subject, and thTahteitime neces sary neces sary fur them - to refer to St. Petersburg. of France declined mean time the representatives of England an stood, or to to alter the order in which the Itbhur points point until some set lenient for that purpose was given to the c r , but in the take any discussion upon the f i oi h ir regard to that most im had been arrived at in called to the When had come from St. Petersburg, to receive the answer which Plenipotentiaries said they had no proposals the Russian renipotentiaries then submitted T E , o u r i t e a l n le t ,i s n u e b ) j s e t c e t in , -the meantshewofe tztetzs.eceheiengwTesurekgeey to make.

The conference was then suspended, not actually broken off. My noble friend Lord J. Russell left Vienna on the 23d of last month, and M. Drouyn de Lhuys re i trained behind fur a few days, and that plenipotentiary anti the E ar l of Westmoreland.' were invited, on the part of Russia, to attend another conference in order to receive some propositions, and IL Drouyn de Lhuys and the Earl of ' Westmoreland agreed to attend.
