ARMISTICE.
Col. MINNE as 1r ed the noble lord the First Lord of
the Treasury wletiitir it was true (as stated in a French
paper) that an armistice had been agreed on between
the Allied Powers 2;44 Russia ; and further, whether
the armistice extendcil to operations by sea, or to those
carried on in Asia ?
Lord PALMERS'a'.!ON said that one of the arrange-
ments agreed on with, reference to the negotiations was
that preliminaries el e mid be negotiated and signed at
Vienna, and after tha t the armistice to be arranged be-
tween the parties. These preliminaries had not yet been
signed. They were to be discussed and signed by the
Plenipotentiaries at 7!'aria, and it was not until after
that that the questioi a of an armistice could arise.
Sir DE LACY E VANS asked if Russia would be
allowed the use of th e seas during the armistice, so as to
be able to transport t 'roops and stores during that time 1
Lord PALMERSI,ON said armistices were of various
kinds, and involving ait : many conditions. Until the pre-
liminaries of peace • were agreed on and settled the
armistice could not I le, discussed, and it would be pre-
mature on his part toy give any assurance.

(made out in , the) same form as the account of the net in-
come and e xuranditure 'in the quarterly returns pre-
sented to thi a house). The hon. member said there
bad been ", i 'responsible squandering" connected with
the Crown .Ids. Upwards of 111,000/. had been ex-
pended out .0- f that portion of revenue that ought never
to have been. permitted.
Mr. NVII.,S lON, after entering into an explanation,
said the ace c tints for the revenue department for the
future, sho' kt.l be presented as asked for ; and therefore
he hoped tl ie hon. member for Lambeth would with-
draw his m .o'6ion. He was afraid he could not grant the
application 4 a s asked for the Woods and Forests.
