NEW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a new writ was ordered
to issue for the election of a member for the city of Oxford,

THE DANO-GERMAN QUESTION.

In reply to Mr. B. OSBORNE,
Lord PALMERSTON said that all the Powers whci
were parties to the treaty of 185 had agreed to send:

basis of the Conference would be to restore the peace ei
Europe. (Laughter.) It was thought it would not be right
to settle anything before which could be best decided on at
the Conference. No armistice had been agreed on.

might have seen him in 1857, but neither he nor any other
person dared to make such suggestions as had been stated.
