RUSSIAN ENCROACHMENT ON THE
CASPIAN.

Mr. H. SEYMOUR called the attention of the house to
the present state of our relations with Persia, and asked
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to lay upon the
table of the house any documents relating to reported en-
croachments of Russia on the Persian shores of thetaspian
Sea, and any correspondence regarding the attempts
made by Russia to interfere with Persia in the
endeavours of the latter to exercise legitimate autho-
rity over Turkoman tribes under her subjection.
With respect to Syria he advocated the infliction of sum-
mary punishment on the malefactors connected with the
recent disturbances, which measure could alone restore
confidence amongst Christian residents in the Lebanon.
Sir G. BOWYER said that he fully concurred with the
bon. member (Mr. Kinglake) that the annexation of Savoy
and Nice was an outrage on the laws of Europe, but he con-
sidered that the proceedings of General Garibaldi was an
equal outrage.
Lord PALMERSTON said that at a meeting which had
taken place he had praised the foreign policy of the
noble lord (Lord John Russell), but he did not illus-.
trate that by the fact of the landing of General
Garibaldi in Italy, though he stated that that event might
lead to very important results. The King of Naples
bad an army of 60,000 men, and a large fleet
at his command, and if General Garibaldi succeeded
it must be by the feeling on the part of the people of this
country and the assistance they rendered him. With regard
to a question put •to him, he had to state that the
treaty of Turin had not received the assent
of the Powers of Europe, most certainly not of
this country. He hoped that on every account such ar-
rangements would be made on the part of France as would
justify the security of Switzerland. With reference to
Syria, instead of investigating the causes of the
disturbances, it would be more desirable to consider the
best means of preventing their recurrence. England was
acting in conjunction with France, Russia, and Austria for
the purpose of effecting that object, and France had shown,
by the punishment of those engaged in these disturbances,
that she was sincere.
