Majesty's government think that this is a crud in which the
ordinary custom should be departal from, and that parlia-
ment and the country should know exactly what the state el
the ciao in. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. DISRAELI—My inquiry rather referred to these
papers which the government had received before the am
carman of these events, which might allude to their pro-
bability. I do not limit it to the papers which the government
may shortly receive, containing the narrative of the events of
the last tow wake. I will take this opportunity of :
a more particular inquiry on one point, Ws° connecter=
ladle. I with to know, if the noble lord his received my
tommuuicatien lately from the city of Herat, to the elect
that the person nominated as governor of I last has sworn
allegiance to the Shah of Perm, who has accepted his allegi-
ance, and authorised him to coin money? Thie le • proceed-
ing totally at variance with the treaty reoesaly concluded
with Perna. (Hear, hear.)
Viwount PALMERSTON—In answer to the first gum-
thin, I have to my that we will endeavour to select bola the
correepundenve that has been received respecting India them
portions which are calculated to give Information to parlia-
ment. When it it published, if further information I. wanted,
it will be for theme who think so to state their ICIISOIN. With
regard to the letter question, her Majesty's government have
received uo information tending to confirm such a report as
the right hon. gentleman has referred to. He's aware that
by the treaty with Persia, the Pendant wane to evacuate
Herat, and we were to and an agent to Herat to see that
that evacuation was complete. That agent has not yet
arrived there. When he amen he of course will make hie
report from the art of the elate of things.
Sir J. PAKIN ()TON said he saw by the account in some
of tho newspapers that in the encounter before Delhi, the
mutineers muttered 7,000 men, while the Ilritish forts were
only 1,800, consisting partly of Sepoys. The account went
on to elate that tho intended attack on Delhi wet carried into
effect. Had the government received any communication
to justify that statement?
Viscount PALMERSTON—The telegvaphic memage gave
no &mile of that kind. It simply stated that an encounter
had taken plane, that 26 guns were taken, and that her
Majesty's troops had taken pomade° of the heights around
the city. Perham, though the question Ma not been put,
the house will allow me to state the general
outline of what her Meiesty's government hove thought
Bt to do iu thew eircumetancee. (Hear, hear.) Immediately
on the receipt of this information on Saturday, steps were
taken by the heads of the Indian department, in conjunction
with the Commander-in-Chiral, to select • aucceseer to Major-
General Anton. Their choice fell upon Sir Colin Campbell,
who wee accepted. (Hear, hear.) No time was lost in com-
municating with Sir Colin, who was ended bow soon he
would be able to start; upon which, with hie ordinary
premptitwle, he mid, "To-morrow." (Chem.) And &c-
-rawlingly he did go out yesterday. The offer had been
mole to him on &zinnia, and he was off by the train laid
night. (Cheers.) A telegraphic as
has been
mole to Manville*, in order to atop the dimmer which is
taking out the Indian mails, and which had left London on
Friday night, directing that she should wait at Marseilles
until he arrived there. Sir Colin Campbell would therefore
rot lose a tingle hour in reaching his destination. (Hear.)
The home in ewers that 11,000 men were under order. for
India before this news arrived. Additional troops will be

east; and the house way be sewed that the government
will take every step that me, be desirable to provide foram
to meet this arwvn.rai. (Hear, bear.) Lord Canning had,
in the meantime, on his own responsibility, done that which
bee been entirely approved by the government—namely, be
wrote to Lord thin, whom ho thought hia com-
munication would tied at Ceylon, to request that
he might divert for the Indian service, for the
moment, a port of the form then on its way to China.
(Hear.) N.. doubt that communiestion has readied Lord
Elgin, and that requeet will be complied with ; and I am able
to say that the government ham taken such step. for increasing
the Sweat, that even if those troop, should be LT a time di-
verted fkini their deatinatien, there will still N. on the
Chinese Mutton aniple troops to cowry on operations there.

Sir E. COLEBItOOK 14, after receiving that answer,
