GENERAL ROSAS.

Earl GRANVILLE rose to put a question to the
Noble Lord at the head of Foreign Affairs as to what
his Lordship termed the extraordinary honours which
he saw by the public papers bad been paid to General
Rosas on his arrival at Plymouth on Monday last. He
wished to know whether these honours had been paid to
General ROM in accordance with official instruction.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said that until he
had that morning received a communication from the
Noble Earl he had no heard a word on the
subject of his reception. Certainly no order had pro-
ceeded from the Foreign-office, and he might say from
the Treasury. The only communication which the
Government had had with General Rosas was to
ask leave to reside in this country as quietly as
possible as a private individual. He could not, there-
tore, tell why the authorities had received Gene-
ral Roses in the manner they had, except it was
from a very natural feeling which animated them, to
show kindness to one whose conduct in his own country
had always been of the most kindly disposition
towards British merchants. That certainly was a feel-
ing which he could not blame, because, though we might
not be able to pity the fate which his own conduct bad
brought upon him, yet, as he came to this country as a
fugitive, and seeking an asylum, it certainly was not the
time to remind him of his faults, and to seek to visit them
on him.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE inquired if there
had been any Treasury order issued to pass General
Rosas'a effects without search and duty?
The Earl of MALMESBURY said that he was not
aware, but it was very probable. It was, however, a
mistake to suppose that Geacral Rosas was possessed of
any great amount of wealth; the fact was that he had
fled to this country almost destitute, and in a state of
great poverty.
In answer to a NOBLE LORD,
The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND said that no
particular order had been issued for the reception of
General Rosas on board a British man-of-war, but there
was a general order to take all means possible to save
the lives of those who might be placed in such a posi-
tion.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord BEAUMONT said that while they were on this
subject he would take the opportunity of putting a ques-
tion to the Noble Lord relative to the rumoured occupa-
tion of Monte Video by the Brazilian troops, and whe-
ther that occupation was merely intended as a temporary
matter of police, or was likely to be attended by any
important political results.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said he believed it was
correct that there had been such an occupation, and that
Monte Video was now la the possession of the Braz lien
troops. He was informed, however, by the Brazilian
Minister that this ocJupation was only intended as a
temporary measure.

The saj ect then dropped.

SANITARY CONDITION OF THE METROPOLIS.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY rose to move a reso-
lution that the sanitary condition of the metropolis re-
quires the immediate attention and, interposition of her
Majesty's Government. The Noble Lord then proceeded
to enter into the statistics of the sanitary condition of
the metropolis, quoting largely from sessional returns.
