CORRESPONDENCE ON THE AFFAIRS OF

In reply to Sir J. HAY, SIAM.
Sir 0. WOOD said he had received some further corre-
spondence on the affairs of Siam and Tuanganu, which{ he
loped shortly to be able to lay on the table.
TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND IS

IRELAND.
Mr. MAGUIRE asked. Mr. Attorney-General for Ire-
land, whether he considers the Tenure and Improveirwat
,f Land Act of IS6O a sufficient protection for the Irish
'enant, and a sufficient inducenien to the expenditure of
the tenant's capital, labour, and skill in Effecting itnpreive-
tnents ; and if he considers the existing law to be deficient,
either as a stimulus to increased exertion or as a
protection for the enjoyment of its results, is he prepared
,o advise her Majesty's Government to introduce a rues sure,
Hither now or at a future time, with a view to its am end•
ment.

Mr. O'HAGAN said that the present question was one
of a rather novel nature, and he regretted to say that he) did
not think the act of 1860 would have the operation indicated
in the question,' as it had practically failed in reference to
Ireland, as appeared from the official report. He could
not give any opinion as to so important a subject as the
present without stating his reasons, which he understood
was cpposed to the practice of the house. As regarded the
other part of the question, he could only say, that in any-
thing he advised would be dictated by a desire to prom ore
the interests of Ireland.
MEDIATION OF THE KING OF PORTUGAL IN
THE AFFAIRS OF BRAZIL.
Mr. MACAULAY asked the Under Secretary of Mate
for Foreign Affairs whether it was true that the Brazilian
Government, since his'cleclaration made in February that her
Majesty's Government had from the beginning accepted the
proposed mediation or good offices of the King of Portugal,
have now signified their acceptance ; whether the King of
Portugal adheres to his offer; and whether it is an after of
mediation or good offices : whether any communication has
been received by her Majesty's Government from tha t of
Brazil in reply to the following passage in Earl Russell's
despatch of June 6, 1863, on suspending diplomatic relations:
" Her Majesty's Government hope that the Government of
Brazil will,• in its future intercourse with Great Britain,
through whatever channel that intercourse may be carried
on, act with that courtesy which is usual between Go vern-.
ments ; and also that the Brazilian Government will, with-
out further delay, frankly enter into the communication of
their views as to the means by which a settlement cd the
long pending claims may best be arrived at;" and whether
there is any objection to presenting to Parliament the cor-
respondence about British claims on Brazil, as the Brazilian
Government has laid the correspondence before the Brazilian
Legislature, and statements founded on that publication
have appeared in England.
Mr. LAYARD said, with regard to the first question, the
Government had not received any official information, but
he understood that the King of Portugal was ready to give
his services as the mediator alluded to. He believed
that the Brazilian Government would shortly make an
official communication on the subject. As related to the
third question, he thought it would be better not to give
any explanation at present, as there were reasons to believe
that amicable relations between the two countries would be
shortly resumed.
