The Marquis of Clanrcarde brought forward
hi motion TO cali the attention of the House to the
state of the country with relation to the question of
peace war. The Marquis said that when he
made his notice of the motion he certainly thought,
from the language held by member OF the gov
eminent in that house, that the propoeal made to
the Emperor of Russia had been virtually, if nor
formally, jec;ed by him and that hsformal refusal
To accede would be received Immediately. Ii ap-
pears, however, that no formal refusal had been
received, and that the semblance of negotiations
were still going on at Vienna.
While, therefore, continued the Marquis, there

tons resulting in peace, he unwilling to pro-

but ne could Inform the House that the terms of
the Emperor's proposal were quite unacceptable
and not of character TO permit of their being sent

Upon thatpoint, continued the Earl of Claren-
don, no doubt existed tor moment in the minds of
the members of the conference.
In reply to the second inquiry, Lord Clarendon
stated, that on Saturday evening" the 9th inst Ba.
