THE FALL OF KARS.

The Earl of MA LNIESBURY had hoped that some
of the members of her Majesty's Government would he
prepared to make some announcement upon the result
of the late Coiference at Paris. As, however, it ap-
peared that no such announcement was then to be made,
he wished to ask a question of the noble marquis oppo
site, in reference to a notice he had given of his inten-
tion to call the attention of the house, on an early day,
to the capitulation of Ram As, however, it would
be most inconvenient to discuss such an import tot
que tion in the absence of the noble earl,
the Secretary of Foreign Affairs he wished to know
when it was likely that the noble earl would be in his
place in the house?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he did not think
it was necessary, after what had occurred in another
place upon the subject already universally known, to
make any statement as to the signing of the treaty of
peace. In reply to the question put by the
noble earl on the suhisct of his motion in rela-
tion to the fall of Kars, he believed that' his
noble friend would be detained for some days longer in
Paris in consequential discussions arising out of the late
treaty. It was the wish of his noble friend to return to
bis place in that house as quickly as possible, and he
had no doubt that his absence would be of very short
duration.

THE DEPUTY INSPECTOR OF FORTIFICA-
TIONS.
. Captain L. VERNON asked if it was true that Col
Harness, Deputy Inspector General of Fertifications,
had been removed from that military office in conse-
quence of departmental mi-understandings with the chief
of the civil stiff of the Ordnance.

quence of the line of conduct the gallant officer had
thought fit ,to adopt with respect to his civil dutie,,

of Deputy Inspector of Fortifications. Both Lord Pan-

at Malta.

would undertake to institute an immediate inquiry int,o

stance to which the hon. member alluded in this morn-

therein, and the information he had received from the
hoe, member, he had no official knowledge of the fact.
He immediately sent to the sheriffs of L 11(1.on and Mid
dlesex, who were the officials appointed to conduct the
execution, for a full statement of the circumstances. He
bad not yet received any answer from the sheriffs, but
be thought there had not been time for them to furnish
him with the statement.
