CRACOW.
creAtiarr.yPfOri‘FLorSeTigEn NAVffAaßirsT), seeing the NwoibshleedLtoordkn(othwefrSoesne—:
the Noble Lord whether he had caused any communications t
be made to tbe authorities of Cracow, and if he had received
e
any answer thereto ? His next questinn was, whether th_
Noble Lord had received any official information on the sub-
ject of the Polish emigrants, who, instead of being sent to
neutral territories, had been delivered up to the Russian autho-
rities, and marched off into Poland, for the purpose of being
forwarded, no doubt, to Siberia ? The third question was one.
of vital commercial interest. He understood that Russia ha
closed the month of the Danube by quarantine regulations of
,
which must have a sensibly injurious effect on the commerce
r
this country; and ‘vhat he wished to ask of the Noble 1.0,.
was, if his Majesty's Government had taken any steps to p. ee
vent such a violation or" the Treaties of Vienna and Adrianopl
which guaranteed the freedom of all open navigable rivers?
Lord pA LME STON said, with regard to the first ques-
Ca-•
tion, that he had received communications from the Ambassa
dors to whom he had written respecting. the affairs of
atere-
cow, but that he bad not held any communication whver
with the authorities of that city. When he first learned th
intention of the three great Powers of the north with respe°,,
to the Polish refugees, it was the intention of hjs MaiestY
Government to direct the British Consul at Warsinv to PO;
ceed to Cracow. Before, however, that step could De
allies
they learnt that Cracow was actually occupied by tlO, se
troops, and it thence did appear to them that such a
ce'urn...
would be as useless as it would be inexpedient. As th
e
l
tish Consul could not have appeared at Cracow in an ai,'
c'a
capacity, it was feared that his presence there would iin
tacit acknowledgement of the proceedings which d tam
lace a
place, and therefore it was thought advisable not to p
British officer in so unbecoming a situation. With regard to
the question relative to the sending some of the refuVes
Poland, instead of forwarding them, according to the termsthe proclamation, to France and other neutral territories' i
he could say was that he believed they were sent into Pole iv
by their own consent. The British Ambassador at St. Peters:
burgh had spoken to a member of the Russian Government uril
the subject, and his answer was that he did not know of
an I;
such arrangement, neither did he believe that the objectvia
to punish those refugees, or send them into banishment; fen •
if they had been sent into Poland, it must have been because'
they preferred returning to their own country rather than
being sent elsewhere. On the subject of the third question,,
all he could state was, that he had received no additional
formation respecting the quarantine which had been it-nP°s.t.e
i
upon them by the Russian Government, with a view 113,. the
preservation of health in that country, at the mouth o
Danube. By the treaty of Adrianople, no doubt, the freedo
1:
of all navigable rivers was guaranteed, and although Rst'
had a right to establish a bona fide quarantine for the preses.,
vation of health, that Government was not, under any pretec
tlse
justified in adopting such a course, with a view to embarrass
commerce of this or any other country. This Governmen
however, received no official information on the subject.

Mr. P. M. STEWART said that under these circumstan'
he should feel it his duty, on Friday the 15th of April, to
ca'a:
the attention of the House to the conduct which Russia ha
pursued towards the Polish refugees at Cracow.
PORTUGAL—FRANKFORT.
Mr. ROBINSON would take that opportunity of Puttill.
two questions to the Noble Lord. The first was relative e.

referred, the State of Frankfort could not be a party t°
league without the assent of this country. &la
Lord PALMERSTON, with rsspect to the first que-
ut to him by the Hon. Gentleman, was not enabled to Otis
him the information which he desired. The negociatio •
pending, and he hoped that it would be attended with a
factory result : but, at the same time, the House ril°st
aware that the Portuguese Government on the subject Of
merce entertained views not very favourable to the conclus,i,
of a treaty upon terms of reciprocal advantage to both beds
tries. A measure had lately been submitted to the Chat°, or
in Portugal of a nature quite inconsistent with any liberPothe
advantageous, or reciprocal, footing of commerce betweei.llo,l..
two countries. The present Government of Portugal) ea.
ever he hoped, was too enlightened to sanction such a r
sure; but in the present circumstances it was necessaue;T po..°
the Government of this country to shape its course by tier
lie y of the Portuguese Government. With regard to the°
ntr9
questions, it was true that about four years ago this coti-00.
concluded a convention with the city of Frankfort, and that
of the articles of that convention provided that Frankfort s"pras.•
not make any alteration in its tariff. The progress of the bocl
sian league had, however, been such that representations of
been made that it was really indispensable for the well:3°oe
of the city of Frankfort, and that it was really of impel' ;00
to British interests, that Frankfort should be obliged tc_Lo.

tations another convention had lately been entered, releaPtio
the city of Frankfort from the obligation of not joining...ea,
Prussian union. That convention, as soon as it was ratilloa
