CONDEMNATION OF MR. MURRAY AT ROME.
The Duke of ARGYLL wished to put a question to the
noble bird opposite, the Foreign Secretary. It had been
reported in the papers that a person of the name of Murray
had been imprisoned in .tneona for two or three years,
seemed of a criminal elf: nee, and without being brought
to nid ; as also that he hail Istely been found guilty, and
sentenced to death. 'lbis wee certainly a somewhat extra.
orilinery statement concerning a British subject ; and he
wished to ask whether any communication had been made
to the noble rut on the subject, or any application, either
on the part of the friends of the gentleman in question or
our emendar agent resident in Rome, which was the only
channel of conupunieat ion there ?
The Karl of MALMESBUILY, as far as h' was con-
tented, was glad to have an opportunity of explaininrt what
had uppeand In the public journals, and which he had seem
with wine pain. Tho farts of the ease, as far ac he was
informed, were these: About a week after he came into
odic, -about the first week in March-be received a
despatch from Mr. Freeborn, our consul at Rome, stating
that .1 gentleman of the name of Murray, the son of a meri-
torious officer, formerly in her Majesty's service, had been
conhaed for thirty months lnc prison at Ancona on a charge
of murder ; that he had been cleaged, in common with a
baud of bravos, regular murderers, with having committed
several murders in that part of Italy; that, in consequence
of tae disturbed state of the country, he had not been
brouelit to trial, and upon the representation of consul
Moore he hail been transmitted from Ancona to Rome;
that Mr. Freeborn had written to Cardinal Antanelli, and
begged that hs might have a fair trial, and that justice
Duel t be dorm him ; and that the cardinal bad promised
that justice should be done to Mr. Murray. He had since
nee,s, d • despatch from Mr. Freeborn, stating the arrival
Cl Mr. Murray, as • prisoner, in Rome. On receiving the
tin.? despatch, he wrote to Mr. Freeborn. desiring him to
%mill the prim... Winos and take care that the accused had
f el: pla7. The mat intimation which he had received on
'h....abject was through the medium of the public prints.
It bad not received any further despatch from Mr. Free-
born, nor had he received any information from the charm/
Wallin's at Florence. Their lordships were aware of the
very anal:malaise pooition in which we Heed at Rome.
(Hear, hear.) We had no one to whom we could regu-
larly apply ; and it was only by a circuitous underhand
way, very unworthy of a great country like England, that
we "mid endeavour to assert soil sindicate that interns-
bond law which it was his duty to carry out. (Hear,
bear) Two months ago he wrote a strong despatch to Mr,
Freeborn, to see that the accused had fair play and that
jestiee was done ; snit he had no objection to lay the oor-
no the table of the Mum. (Ilene, hear.)
E X PULSION OF MISSIONARIES FROM HUN-
GARY.
The Puke of ARGYLL begged to ask the noble earl an•
other question-namely, whether he had any objection to
produce to the house, the despate:ms and papers which
had passed between him, his predecessor is the Foreign-
Mace, cad the government of Austria. with respect to the
r.k. • 1.1 Messrs. Wingate, Smith, and Edw-irds, tnissionariete
in Honesty ? The communications had appeared in the
public papers, but they had not been laid officially on the
table of the hottee.

cretary, which was tetall mandible in the gallery ; as was
also the reply of Lord I bury, who throughout the
evening spoke urns the table is a conversational tone. If
noble lords scald turn towards the reporters' gallery, there

tions
The Earl of MALMESDURY said that with respect to
the observations of the noble duke he was sorry to say he
did • t MOM it would he advantageous to the public service,
or to the Interests of the individuals referred to, that the
eorresoondence should be laid on the table in its present
state. as it was not yet complete. lie (the Earl of Malmes-
bury) could give his most solemn amorance that he had en-
deavoured to maintain, as it was his duty to do, the rights
of international law ; and he should ban nothing so much
a• heart, oolong as be filled the office which he had now the
honour of holding. ae the endeavour to usciutain interim-
banal law between this and all foreign countries. The view
be took upon this question was that it was not his duty to
argue with foreign countries the laws which they had in
their wisdom or despotism established, but it was his duty
to en that such laws were fairly carried out with regard to
her Majesty's subjects; and upon that view he had acted in
this caw.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE believed that if Lord
still held the seals of the foreign once, they should never
have beard of the perpetration of such conduct. (Hear.)
TEE CASE OF MR. MATIIER.
In reply to a question from Earl FITZWILL1•111,
The Earl of MALMRSEURY said that the affair of Mr.
Mather was nearly amend; and until it was fin,lly decided

earl as to the co., caiman which had paned am the
subject.
