Egypt from Interference or attack.
The Under Secretary for the Foreign
Department, IN reply TO q question by
Mr. jenkins, said that no steps had been
taken to send = naval force 10 the Dan

results. He said he had ne information

and no representations had been made
about its inetfcleacy. In answer to 9

object.
Sir Robert Peel, citing the case OF
Poland, ridculod the idea OF the conjunc-
