if Russian Minister in
this country. He asked the Persian negotiations at
Paris had been broken off, and he complained of the
delay of the production of the papers relating to Persia ?
Lord PALMERSTON said that he knew, nothing of
suck a treaty, except that stated by the
son. member.
It was not true that the Persian negotiations at Paris
had been suspended or interrupted, and he had no lea-
son to alter his former opinion as to the result, and
under these circumstances he considered a discussion of
the matter in that house must have a very in-
jurious effect—(hear, hear)—and b
- -e asked for a
little further delay before laying the paper on the table.
It would not have been right for her Majesty's Govern-
ment to interfere, or make any remonstrance with the
Russian Minister on such information as that given to
the house.
