ALGIERS.
Mr. MACLEAN uislied to ask the Noble Lord opposite
a question or two rely ive to the French occupation of Al-
giers. During the recetnt debates in the French Chamber of
Deputies, the President of the Council had made declarations
as to certain communications between the Government of this
country and that of France with respect to the occupation of
Algiers. He (Mr. Maclean) had looked through
the papers on the table of the House of Lords. No
such papers were on the table of this House, and
he presumed thn Noble Lord would have no objection
to their being produced. In these papers there was a decided
assurance to England on the part of the French Government
that it did not contemplate any occupation. He wished to
know whether, since these papers were laid on the table of
the House of Lords, there had been any communications of
the same kind between the French and English Govern-
ments ? And if so, whether the Noble Lord had any objection
to their production ? Also, if any arrangement had been
made between the two Governments, whether the Go-
vernment of Turkey had been consulted?
Lord PALMERSTON read the words which fell from the
President of the Council of France as the best answer be
could give to the question. It truly stated that within the
limits of the old Regency of Algiers the Government of Eng-
land would not interfere. He certainly would have no objec-
tion to lay the pipers alluded to before the House. There had
been no communication similar to those of 1830 between the
two Governments ; these bad been some, but he would
not think it expedient to lay them on the table of the House.
The question was in a very different position after the con-
quest of Algiers by France from what it was before the sailing
of the expedition.
