RUSSIA AND TURKEYD.— LordBROUGHAM asked
whether, considering the present state of the Easterreon, iit would be desirable to post pone any Publi
discussion on the subject.—The Earl of CLARENDON
replied, that having twice asked Lord Clanricarde to
Postpone his motion on Eastern Affairs, he had made up
his mind not to do so a third time, but, as Lord Brougham
had put this question, he could not refrain from saying
that the negotiations now pending were not sufficiently
advanced for a full discussion on the subject, and he
would accordingly ask Lord Clanricarde to postpone his
motion till*Monday.—The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH de-
precated any partial discussion of the question, and
suggested to Lord Clanricarde whether it was right
'to press the Government for disclosures which it could
not make consistently with public duty.—The Earl of
