In reply to an inquiry by Mr. HUME, Lord J. RUSSELL
stated that, a communication having been made by the
Emperor of Russia to the Austrian Government that it
was his intention to evacuate the Principalities, the Aus-
trian Minister for Foreign Affairs had intimated to the
Ministers of England and France that his Government
was, nevertheless, ready to interchange notes, as previously
agreed upon, with a view to obtaining securities for future
peace. The English and French Ministers had stated the
general nature of the securities which would be required,
and which were specified in the paper of the French
Minister for Foreign Affairs recently published in the
Moniteur. It would remain to be seen, he added, whether
the Austrian Government would put its armies in action
to obtain those securities by force, if they could not be
obtained by negotiation.

After some further business, the house was sll.!nnooned
