KENSINGTON BARR.tCKS.

Sir J. RAMSDEN, in reply to Mr. Kerr, said it was
the intention of the Government to remove the cavalry
barracks at the Ken..ington-gate of Hyde-park, and
that arrangements were being made for another site.

RUSSIA AND

Lord RAYNHAM asked whether the Government
had received information that the Russians, notwith-
standing a clause in the Treaty of Paris to the
contrary, had sent a hostile expedition across the
Black Sea against the Circassians.

Lord PALMERSTON said his noble f►iend was aware
that by the Treaty of Paris the Black Sea was de-
clared neutral, with the exception that Russia arid
Turkey were allowed a certain number of vessels for
the p dice service of the coast, and that the other
powers were allowed to have two vessels each to see
that the regulations i.3lative to the Danube were ob-
served. The coast of Circassia—that was to say, the
eastern coast of the Black Sea—was ceded to Russia
by Turkey at the Treaty of Adrianople—that treaty
ceding certain points by name along the coast round
to the Sea of Azoff. The Russians were engaged in
hostilities with the Circassian tribes on the nor...hero
part of the eastern coat. and it appeared that some
of the cruisers which, by the Treaty of Paris, R issia
was entitled to maintain in the Black Sea hail been
sent to operate against the Circassians at Genetchik
and Redout Kale. He did not apprehend that in
so doing the Russians had at all exceeded their
powers under the Treaty of Paris.
The house adjourned at a quarter to four o'clock,
until two o'clock on Tuesday.

HOUSE OF LORDS-TUESDAY.

Lord PANMURE, in laying on the table the report
of the Purchase in the \rmy Commis i,sners, said :

Ten members were originally appointed under the corn-
mi-si in. This report is signed by six members, including
my noble friend the Duke of Somerset, the chairman of
the commission ; but one of the six, /Sir De L. Evans,
entered a protest at the end of the report, and intimated
his intention to send through the chairman of the com-
mission a separate document stating his own opinion.
Four other members of the commission have refused to
sign the report, as they differ from the opinions which it
contaius, and Mr. Elbe?, one of those commissioners, has
intimated to me officially that it is his int.ntion to send in
a separate report in his own name, and also in the names
of Sir H. Ilentinek and General Wynyard, which will
teach me during the recess, and which I shall be prepared
to lay upon the table at the commencement of next session.
I may add further, that the other commissioner—Colonel
Wetherell—before the evidence was entirely complete,
entered into active service in China, and is in China at
present, discharging military duties. I shall hate an
opportunity of communicating with him before Parliament
meet again, and I dare say I shall he able then to announce
his opinion with regard to this very important subject. I
thought it necessary to make these remarks, because it is
quire clear that as the report is signed by only one half of
the commissioners, it ought not to go forth to the country
as a report unanimously agreed to by the whole of the
commission.

The noble lord then laid the report on the table.
