In the House OF Commons, on the evening OF the 9th
two important statements Were made by Lord Palmer
sion, hus recorded in the Times:
In the House OF Commons, In reply to question put
by Mr.. Urquhart,
Lord Palmerston said that according to last advices
some of the Russian troops had begun their march ON
the Danubian Prncipaites, and that within fortnight
the whole would have reached the frontiers of Walla
CHA, the Turkish troops evacuatlpg the prncipaes
simultaneously with those OF Russia. With respect 10
the remaining Hungarian refugees he said the endea-
vors OF the English and French Governments 10 obsin
their liberation had not been successful, the Turkish
Government not having, at the date of the latest ac-
counts, determined upon their release.
To another question, by Mr. Il. Duncombe the noble
lord replied that the occupation of Rome by the French
troops had been undertaken by the Government of
France upon its own discretion and judgment the Br
fish Government was no party to the measure, but
though ii could not be said 10 in the occupation
OF the city, and had an opinion upon the subject, had
particular right to interfere, though he could not say
that the result OF the occupation had been the establish
ment OF good government. With respect to the pro-
longation OF the occupation, friendly communications
had taken place between her Majesty's Government
and that OF France but the latter having occupied
Rome the withdrawal of its garrison might lead to the
re-occupation OF The city by some other power, which
might prove less advantageous TO the leOple and 10 the
general interests OF Europe. The French Government
which entertained any project OF territorial &C.
QUESTION, must Judge tor Itself, with due regard to all The
interests concerned to the period when the occupa
ton should be terminated.
The Papa aggression bill came up for discussion the
evening being spent in debate very dguiiied upon
resolution introduced by Mr.. Urquhar declaring that
the OF the Pope had been encouraged by the con
duct and declarations OF her Majestys Government
The resolution was negatyed by vote of $50 against
