MARCH Or THE TRENCH LINT.
Lord GEORGE BENTINCK said, he wished to ask a
question of his Majesty's ministers. He understood
an assurance had been given by the French government to
the Ministers of England, Austria, Russia, and Prussia,
that the march of the French moor into Belgium was wholly
for the purpose of repelling the Dutch troops, and that when
that service was performed they would return to France ?
He hoped his noble friend could confirm that statement.
Lord PA LM ERSTON said, the statement made by the
noble lord was substantially correct, On Wednesday, the
French government invited to a conference the Ministers of
England, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, and communicated
to them that the French troops were ordered to Belgium
solely to repel the invasion of the Dutch, after which they
would return to France • only passing through such of the
fortresses as lay in their way, but not occupying any of
them. He had received a dispatch this morning containing
a note from the French Minister to Lord Granville, confirms.
lug this statement.
Mr. ROSS inquired whether any reduction was to be
made in the quarantine fees ?
Mr. P. THOMPSON said, the subject should be in-
quired into.
Mr. HUME said, It was a tax on calamity of M. on each
vessel—the smallest as well as the largest. He believed
this was the only country in the world in which a calamity
was made the subject of a tax. The expense of the mess-
say precaution ought to be paid by the public, nut the stn.
fortunate . ferers.

Mr. RWART said, the to was partial and unjust, and
ought nut to be levied.
Mr. 0 CONNELL mid, time were seven ordure of the
day and eleven notices rearming Ireland, and now near sic
o'clock, there was no minister connected with Ireland iu
the house of whom a question might be asked.
