, TURKEY AND EGYPT.
veNr. HUME rose to put the following questions, of
bleb he had previously given notice to the Noble Lord
b" Secretary of Foreign Affairs :—Whether, as stated
14 Public papers, thi British Government has again
iltorfered, through Lord Ponsonby, to prevent the
41tnIt from entering into direct negotiations with
elletnet Ali for a settlement of their differences ; and
ather on that occasion, it has acted in concert with
other European Powers, or their Ministers at Con-
hltetrut,ilbaple ? Whether any orders have been issued by
riutt"lajesty's Government for reprisals against Mehe-
ships4 ; whether, as stated in public journals, two
hsni sent by Mehemet Ali to bring recruits from Al-
IN tO Candia, had been detained by a British frigate
got ,conducted to Corfu ; and, whether returned or
je Whether orders have been issued by her Ma-
Pea Ministers, or by Lcrd Ponsonby, to Colonel
rdges, the British Consul-General -in Egypt, to inter-
in the affairs of Egypt, by giving subjects of the
tultan passports to leave Egypt under protection of
tglish passports ? The questions were such as in-
..lved peace or war, and he trusted the Noble Lord
could give an explicit answer to them.
l
"rd PALNIERSTON said the same state of
Ifikirs now existed as when on a former occasion his
d°o. Friend moved for the production of correspon-
ence, with regard to negotiations, and therefore he did
t°t know how far it would be prudent to accede
4eY motion his Honourable Friend might make
44 this subject ; but he was quite ready to give an an-
t:" to his questions. In the first place the House was
iare that in July last the representatives of the Five
tf iers. fearing that the Sultan might from the pressure
cotimisfortune make unnecessary and injurious conces-
the.s to Mehemet Ali, presented a note in the name of
nlrresective Courts, requesting him not to enter into
egotiationst with Mehemet Ali respecting any thing
p,s4t had been done with the concurrence of the Five
44'wers, and Lord Ponsonby received instructions to
toe soy influence he might possess to induce the Porte
kre'inPly with this request. With regard to the
01 the ships, the fact was, that information having
Isro received by the High Commissioner of the lonian
Who s. that two ships had arrived to recruit, in-
were made with regard to the officer,
foe was an agent of Mehemet Ali, and it was
eerttlu they were there for the purpose of decoying
tc, %in subjects of the Porte at Albania, to proceed to
ellit to form troops to act against the Sultan, and
ree Howard Douglas took steps accordingly, and two
sh •
take "Ps that were hired for the purpose were
the th He believed the ships were not claimed, but
Ali tueasure was prevented, and
re the agent of Nleheinet
sent back to Malta, and therecruits remained there.
vearelhiPs were detained a short time, and were after-
-11, released. With regard to the third question,
as :rdera had been given to Colonel Hodges, because,
pee4ai! well known, it was not the practice, except in
41115;4.r cases, to give passports to any but British
the"nts ; but as this question concerned the officers of
Turkish empire, he had no hesitation in saying that
e
worded Hodges would only perform his duty if' he
orded any protection he was able to give to any sub-
Jeets of the Sultan who, having been engaged in rebellion
44fitinsthim, weredesirous of returning to their allegiance
