The Marquis of LON IJONDLRRY said—My Lord',
I wish to ask the noble earl if he can yet tealite the abet r.
sneer given to thin house, and the country, that the French
troops will evacuate Belgium as ROOD as the Dutch troop,
shalt have retired within their own territory. 1 understo,d
from the journals and other sources of information, that the
noble lord has received intelligtnee on tre subject, and I k
the noble lord if he is prepared to give information. It he
noble lord should not be prepared, I give notice that I shall,
on Monday nest, move for papers Taming to the state of our
negociationa in Belgium.
Eatl GBEY.—I must say these questions, though not
unusual, are frequently inconvenient. Ott this occasion.
however, I am authorised to state, that blarshal Gerard kiwi
received orders from the Prenth government, to retire 'min,.
diately from Belgium, and I have not the least doubt, the
Peened government, actif.g on the principies of govd f tot,,
and honour, will inspire the most prefect confidence in It s
U/deity's government. I know that orders have been girt n
to Marshal Gerard to retire from Belgium.
The Marquis of LON DONDEBRY.—I beg leave to
mute the noble earl that I sincerely Stengestulate him, and
the country, if that is the result of the negociations.
,I.ord HOLLAND.— Aly Lords, it gives use great se.
de(action to God (said jocosely) the noble stargois is so
happy. (Laughter.)
