FORTIFICATIONS.

In reply to LordPORTMAN,
Earl DE GREY said no sums had been placed in the
estimates for the purpose of proceeding with the fortifica-
tions in Somerset with a view to protect the British Chan-
nel. The land alone was bought; and in the event of his
remaining in office he should see that the necessary steps
were taken for carrying out the matter, which he considered
of the highest importance.
POLAND.
Earl GREY gave notice that if the noble marquis (Clan-
ricarde) should not be in his place on Friday next to pro-
ceed with the motion relative to Poland, he begged to give
notice that he should bring the subject before their lord-
ships that day week, as he thou4ht it was of the highest
importance that the house should not separate without some
further notice of the affairs of that country.
Earl RUSSELL said he would on Friday, if he couli do
so with public advantage, make a statement relative to Po-
land. If circumstances should prevent him doing so on
that occasion, he would state when he hoped to be able to
do so.
Their lordships then adjourned.
