Lord Pi-Go:Nisi,: asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Atfiirs a question respecting the appointment
of two Engineer officers to define the bounilarica of Mon-
tenegro. Ile thought it wax highly necessary that the
Douse sl Id know what nu:moires hail been taken by
!ler Majesty's Government, ii, c 111111 l !situ' with the other
four Powers, towards settling this gavial 111 l , and .le.
nounceil the intrigues of foreign Powers, who, by foster-
ing insurrection against Turkey, Mum destroying the
integrity of the Ottoman empire, for which 1.1 many
ritba,i had been made.
Lord MALmEsul'ltY, in reply, informed the Il,mu.e that
it was at tho request of Prince Daniel.' hinowlf that
ineasurex had been taken to &tine the boutidary hue
between Turkey and Montnitegro. A Cominiss.
Invii sent out by the five Pora,rm for this purpow, an.l
delegate from Prince Daniel° hail been associated with
it, who would sex not on an equality with the L'onlllll.l.
1111 l but as imly a witness of its acts. Ile explained
the discussions which had taken place with the French
Governincnt on this matter, who at olle tune bad been
inclined to regard 3lontenegro a.. aim independent State.

Lord STANI.HY of Aidiedit.tv hoped that the Govern-

sideration if Lord Stanley of Alderley would give notice

see any advantage which could result from it.
The House adjourned at 5 minutes to 7 o'clock.
FRIDAY.
Lord CLANRICARDE moved for a copy of the answer
of the Governor-General of India to the secret de-
spatch of the 19th of April. ISSS, with the reply of
the Secretary of State atilt sulssequentcorremmndence on
the subject; and also of Her Majesty's Proclamation to
the people of India: Ile also asked whether the talook-
dare and chiefs who now IOSSCII3 1•1111 in Oude have
not had those lands granted or restored to them, in
conformity with the Proclamation of the Governor-
General of the 3rd of March, 185 S, and if not, under
what tenure the landowners in Guile hold their estates.
He thought that, from what was at preaent going on
in the settlement of (judo, the Governor-General had
not receded from the policy of his despatch of March,
IS:01; for, although sparingly, yet confiscation in some
few cases had been enforced. If such was the case, by
what tenure did the talookilars hold their estates ?
The fact was that the Government of India had assumed
the proprietorship of the soil, and that, in cunsemence,
the land was now held by All Imperial tenure, or, as it
might be called, a Parliamentary title.
Lord DERBY vindicated the course pursued by the
Government. Lord Canning had not changed his policy,
but had modified it; for, inatead of confiscations being
made the rule, as the Proclamat' would have led the
people to believe, they had been the exceptions. The
papers moved fur should be laid before the House.
Lord Fd.mixamoiriat said that if Her Majesty's
Proclamation were Wad Pr carried out, the beat results
he thought might be prophes:ed.
Lord 11 Aunwlest; thought the Govenunent had been
right in the measures it hail adopted.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, after a few words in
reply, withdrew his motion.
The Enelminre Bill was read a third time and passed,
and their Lordships then adjourned.
