Lord D. STU .El.ltT • called attention to the affairs of
Turkey, as affected by the contest in Montenegro. Ed
wanted to know how the gcverament of this country
looked at these matters.—LOrdJ-ReS4ELL agreed in the
general principle that this country, ought to be anxices'
to maintain the independence of Turkey, which had been.
repeatedly affirmed by treaties and conventions among,
the powers of Etrope. The artention of the govern-
ment had been attracted to the Austrian miss.ion-
of Prince Leiningen to the Pc7te, with instruction&
to. place the demands of Austin before the Sulanm
in a peremptory, manner. On hearing of these de-
mands, her Majesty's government-had thought it neces-
sary to have a frank explanation, from Austria, cam-,
municating at the same time our ;leas- as to the policy of.
maintaining the independence of Turkey. The expiate-
Lion given showad that Austria was atimated by the same
desire in that re3peet as ourselves. Iter demands includedt
the portions of territory called .11.eckaid Sutorina, the.
title to which was of a complicated nattre, these districts
being intermingled with former possessicts of the Republic.
of Ragusa. Complaints were likewise lade that Etta-
garian refugees. held distinguaed poeta in the army of
Omer Pasha. t could not say that any of the demands.
touched the independence of the Sialtaa, or were not
without foundation. He was unable to inform the house
the exact arrangement that had been cone to ; but the
Austrian government had expressed itself perfectly.
satisfied. It was our interest, .in common with all .the
powers of riurope, that Turkey• should be maintained in,
its integrity, and governed so as not to he visited ,by
internal disorders, and he had, the greatest conldence
that by friendly negotiations and reasonable concessions,.
all the pending questions would be peaceably adjusted.—
The motion, was withdrawn.
