THZ GRZZIC WAR.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that as the contest
between the Greeks and Turks was of so much im-
portance and interest to the country, it was his inten-
tion to ask for the public documents relative to it, to
be laid in an authentic shape before the House. He
wished to know whether the Noble Lord would have
any objection to lay before the House a copy of the
Proclamation issued:by the Lord High Commissioner
upon this subject? -
Mr. WILMOT could see no objection to a copy of
the Proclamation being laid before the House.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in reference
to what had fallen from the Noble Lord opposite,
observed, that the document alluded to was a matter
of notoriety, and if it was to be called for for the
purpose of raising a diicussion upon the subject men-
tioned by the Noble Lord, he might hold an opinion
contrary to the adopting such a course. If the docu-
ment was only to be used as a means of inquiry with
regard to the affairs of the lonian Islands, he should
have no objection to its production. But he should
certainly object to any proposition for opening the
negotiations which had been carried on by this coun-
try, with regard to the other question.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed, that the Noble
Lord might object to any course he should think fit to
adopt, when the document was laid before the House.
Had the Noble Lord any objection to his moving for
the Return now ?
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY replied—" Not
the least."
Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved—
" That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, pray-
ing that he will be graciously pleased to give directions that there
be laid before this House a Copy of the Proclamation issued by
the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, relative to
the existing conflict between the Turks and Greeks."
Mr. MAXWELL expressed his surprise that an
Officer should be continued in a situation where he
was hated and detested by the people.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY begged to
state, that he held a very different opinion of the
feelings of the people of the lonian Islands towards
the gallant Officer.
Mr. MAXWELL, having had some knowledge of
the people, could state what their opinions were. He
had been told by one person, that as they knew the
gallant Officer to be connected by family with the
Opposition, it was impossible they could receive jus-
tice from him.
Sir ISAAC COFFIN had never heard that the
Lord High Commissioner was hated or detested by
any man living.—The Address was then agreed to.
RUSSIAN TARIFF.

Mr. SYKES wished to put a.question to the Noble
Lord as to whether the Russian Tariff, which had
lately been published, was officially communicated to
the Government?
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY did not know
to which copy the Hon. Member alluded. There was
one about which a question was asked him before,
when he dated his belief that it was not correct. A
tariff since that period had been authentically com-
municated to the Government.
Mr. HUME asked a question relative to the pro-
ceedings of the Commissioners for settling the boun-
dary lines between our North American possessions
•and the United States? •
Mr. WILMOT said, that the work of settling the
boundary lines was proceeding, The Hon. Member
was aware that the petsons employed in that service
were kept up at a certain expense. Although the
business appeared to go on slowly, yet they were
making all the progress which its nature would allow.
HUM 4 put another question to the Hon.
Screwy, Wad!, to prohibiting the sale of military
stores to the Greeks.
