8 the public such information a. they may think
neccssary nom time to time; but 1t is the practice In
ths country TO lay the papers referring to any sub
q adopt that. course, and the whole Of
the papers reating to the subject will be laid
ssspect to tho two circular notes to which my noble
fiend has ,eferred, and the doubts which he has
thrown out, viii only say that, as to the capacity OF
her Asjetys government to answer them Ia am NOV,
Of coure, prepared to express an opinion; out as ir
~ the notion of there being any fear as 70 answering
them ! hope that my noble friend and your lordshps
WI rest satisfied that no such apprehension exists in
my mind, or in that Of any member OF her Majestys
government. (Cheers) To the first OF. those two
circular notes no regular answer has been SENT be-
cans the greater part its contents alluded to nego
tiatioDs which were originated by the French Am
faefador at ConstantinOple, and the remainder was
tailed by the progress which the communication
referring to the question had made The note was,
however, answered in substance although nothing
was sent in the form of regular to it. The
second circular note was one OF different character
and one requiring an answer, and an answer was i'm
nedstely rent (Hear, hear) Ny lords, have
ny with the note published by the French govern
ment, as indeed, have been all the proceedings
neeted with the question. (Cheers)
The Earl Of MALMEsBuaY- lords, think that
my noble friend is mistaken in drawing an analogy
between these two circular notes and ordinary dpl0
matte correspondence, which 10 kept secret until the
proper time arrives, and then laid upon the table Of
same nature; they are an appeal to Europe they
we're published in the st. Petersburg Gazette and
are intended to be read by every one who can read
In Europe. ] think that Ter Majestys government
IRE taking wrong view Of the case, ana that they
Incur the risk OF considerable misapprebension and
pboquy and have some apprehension that these
circular notes will not be answered in the in
which they have been drawn up
Lord BEAUMoNr-I hope that my noble friend the
'ecI etaly Of State for Foreign Affairs will not object
Q give an answer to question which | wish to put
o him. II his doing so will not be accompanied with
inconvenience to the public service. wish to ask
ny noble friend when he expects to be able TO lay
he papers referring to this question before Para-
ucAt, and IN how short time he hopes to be enabled
put us Ia posi- esson Of what steps the government
rave takeni Clear, hear.) l am the more inclined
put this question in consequence of the ex'raordi-
ary position in which Parliament ADD the country
large placed with regard to any knowledge OF
tat il actually going on BECAUSE while the utmost
ublicity is given to the policy the actions, the in
eLtons, ana the opinions OF Russia, the most COM
lete mystery involves the opinions, the proceedings
Id tie policy Of this country. II is true that
cid that the governments OF France and OF this
tuutry negotiating in the interest Of the Porte,
Id to preserve peace, and that there is reason to
tpe that Austria an Prussia have taken part with
lie object Of maintaining peace; but while this is the
ase, Russia is acting as il negotiation were go
ng on at all. (Hear, hear) While VIC are told that
ego'iations are being carried on with the view of
reservng peace, Russia is actually making war.
his Is most awkward position for any country to
placed in; and it is very natural that inquiry
hould be made as to how long Parliament and the
onntry are to be kept in suspense and how soon
ie country may know the views aud intentions Of
40 government, and what steps they have taken to
AIRY out the objects OF preserving peace or Off
ece-sary-c checking the possible progress OF Russia.
Hear, bear) l wish, therefore, to ask my noble
lend il he can state in how short time he expects
lie negotiations to be SO far advanced as to enable
i'm to give to Parliament aud to the country some
formation as to what steps have been already

The Earl of CLARENDoN-My lords, it is at no
mall sacrifice Of feeling that the government have
on on this question. 1t is our intention, when the
roper tme arrives, to place before Parliament the
illest information on the subject We have no wish
any unnecessary delay; and, in answer to my
oble friend, ! think that very few days indeed
i'll be sufficient to show whether our negotiations
III succeed or not; but, whether they do succeed
not, the fullest information shall be given to Par
ament and to the country.
The Marquis of CLANRIoAr DE-My lords, wish to
'kny noble friend, the Secretary of State for For
IN Affairs, il any information has been received at
70 Foreign Office that the Russians have assumed
,e civil government of Moldavia and Bessarabia?
seauge have eeen it stated in the publ, journals
lat the Post Office has been taken under the drec.
on Of the Russian authorities; and, if such be the
use, IL appears to me inconsistent with mere mill.
ny occupation. should also wish to be informed
The Russian troops have advanced towards the
anube, or if they simply remain in occupation Of
assy and the district adjacent to the Pr1th ?
I he Earl OF CLARgNDoN-My lords, i have no
formation Of the kind to which my noble friend
as alluded. Ihave certainly seen it stated in the
ewspapers that the direction of the post Office and
her administrative functions have been assumed by
&c Russian authorities; but such information has
.aeEed the government. / have reason to believe
lat no advance has been made towards the Danube,
nd that the H0spodar still exercises his functions.
noble friend may remember that Prince Gors.
