as is well knoxn, is now at Paris, engaged
in NEGOTIATIONS OF very important char@ci
or. which occupy great portion OF his at

md. although absent from this country, he
is transactinr the business, Of the foreigi
Office with only that delay which Is hece'
sarily incident to the distance between Pdri

made to the United States Government ne
cessarily requires very careful preparation
-.lat. on the one hand, it m9y contain no
thing which can at all enTenom the dis
cussion that unfortunately has already sgon
too far, while on the other hand no'h'n'

British Government.
The absence o. nay noble friend, the ne

Sir B. Lyttor observed that he had give
notice of a motion with reference to the dl
pntes between Her Majesty's Govern nc'
OF the United States respecting the atiA'

forward that question until certain pape
for which he had asked, and which he vi
told would be laid vpon The table IN lie
days. had been produced. He wished
know if the noble lord could state whe
those papers would be in the possession
Hon. members!
Lord Palmerston regretted that the pape
to which the Hon. aronet referred had n
vet been presented to the House. Tho
pspers we're in print, they we're now
course of revision; and he fEopea thaf In
very few tys-certainly in the course
the week-they would be laid upon The t'bl
Mr.. Baiilie said. that after the stateme
of the noble Lord he thought it his duty
