bill, it ought to be now read a second time and sent to
a committee.
Lord R. GROSVENOR thought, as no principle of
public law was infringed by this bill, the house ought
not to refuse the bill going through a second reading.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
Mr. LAYARD, adverting to the statement of Lord
Russell that new proposals had been made to Russia,
wished to know if, in event of the Russian troops having
withdrawn from the Principalities, Russia would revert
to the status quo ante &Ilan—that was, would the old
treaties between Russia and Turkey remain still in
force.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the Emperor of Russia had
been requested to evacuate the principalities, because it
was a wrongful occupation ; but the question of esta-
blishing peace between Turkey and Russia would still
remain a matter for negotiation after the evacuation had
took place.
Mr. LAYA.RD complained that this was no answer
to his questi
bon, but he gave notice that on an early day
be would ring the question under the notice of the
house.
