.about the • 'onference by Austria.
In the House of Commons on Friday. the Chan-
cellor of the Eetchequer, replying to the Marquis of
.Hartington, sail the reason why the pacer. pro
mired on Congress were not delivered, waa that the
ointment of tbe foreign Powers concerned therein had
not been obtained. That would be done immediately,
and the papers then delivered. He had, however,
given the pith of the papers in his observations yester-
day. The message relative to calling on vie army
and militia weenies would doubtless come down next
Monday. He proposed that it should be considered
on Monday week. There was no canoe why It ehould
be taken earlier -The Mutiny Bill waa read a third
time, and the Marine Mutiny Bill pseud through

demnatory of the present system under which pet.

newirtary that the Howe should be oi full possession of
every irdortoetion respecting our present position. He
wished to know what communication had passed
between the Government and other Powers, as well
as Buena, and whether England at present stood in
isolstii.n. He wanted to know what was the attitude
of other Powers. as the Government most know what
wets the views of Austria and Germany.—The Chan.
cell ir of the Exchequer then riled the House to
consider the preeent peculiar position of the Govern-
ment. The answer to Karl Derby'. Iwo despatch we.
only received from Rue- ia on Wednesday, and the
result of that was that the Queen was advised to call
out the reserve.. Lord Derby di...soled, anti resigned.
Lord Bvicontfielol, to prevent exaggerated rumours,
made the announcement to the House, and that was
bow it was made before the papers were ready. The
paper* weal I toe in the h of members on
Saturday. and it would be impoesiele to present the
correspondence with foreign governments without
authority obtained from the Power. interested. The
pspens to be produced would embrace communications
from other powers, and it would be more onivenient
to wait until the papers were delivered before •
discussion we. relied. The message would come on
Isltonday, and he ehould position* the Budget until
Woodsy weak, so that a &tendon mould be raised on
the papers on Thoinelay. The Government old not
wish to avoid a discussion. The ttovernment felt the
time bad eine when they should take a decided step
as the Government could not chew its eyes to the
great changes effected by the late war. He thought
what the Government wked was ttnly teasonable. -
Mr. Gladstone thought the demand fair, and that no
premature discuesion should be raised.—Mr.
