In answer to ! Lord DuDUBr Stuart , ! Lord J . Rds 8 Xxl stated the territory of Servia was not yet occupied by Austrian troops , and he ^ w ^ s not aware that there was any intention of occupying it . Mr ., DiGBT , SEYMOTjB then brought the accounts given hy the Times correspondent , as to the condition of the troops at Gallipoli , before the House . Mr . Sidney Hebbebt stated , on the 19 th of February orders were sent to the . Ionian Islands , directing Assistant-Commissary General Smith to
proceed to Constantinople , taking interpreters with him . A Large provision of medical stores and hospital accommodation had been - sej ^ t out with ev ery vessel . The Turkish Government Had given" every assistance tb ^ Mr . Smith . The charge that bad quarters had b « en provided for the British troops was not , he thought , made out , and even the Times' correspondent admitted that Gallipoli was healthy . He begged the House net too readily to accept the accounts of newspaper correspondents , whose duties were of a peculiar nature .
Mr . Cobden brought on the suljecfc of the Greek insurrection , and , in answer to him , ' Lord John Russell said that ere long he would lay before : tl * a House papers relating to the Greek insurrection in Turkey ; and lie regretted to say that they would prove that great ' atrocities had , been committed on . both sides ; and he expressed his belief that those acts -were the natural result of the irritation which had arisen between the Christian tend Mahommedan population , and which had been produced by the eonducit of the Emperor of Russia , which no one defended but Mr . Cobden . ~ , -,.. ' . . -, ,. . , £ .,.
Mr . Bbjoht urged that the feelings of tie Greek population were decidedly opposed to ¦ Furkish —* and that the course pursued by this country was tending to drive them into the interests of Russia . . Mr . Layard ; defended the policy of thePxteiii the matter of the Greeks resident In his dominions . He then proceeded to accuse the ¦ Goyernment of great negligence and want of foresight in the preparations made for our army in the East , and also dwelt with severity on the conduct ofi the naval power in the Black Sea , in allowing the , Russian squadron , that * emiQyed the troops from Circassia to escape . ; Sir JiAMBS Graham observed that the Officer in
command of the ; steamer which visited the Russian transports had only acted up to his duty , as things then existed . He urged the House not to relypn the account given pf that . affair in the Petersburg . Gazette ! Mr . M . Gibson tben brought on the question of the treatment of neutral ships l > y Russia , " and especially in the case of . the Anne MpAlisfer , on hotadr at which Sir H . Seymour ' s effects were placed , and on which an embargo ha . d been laid . ' Sir J . Gkaham said the embargo would most probably be taken off that ship , and that Sir H . Seymour ' s effects were not on board of her , but on shore . , He defended the course taken by this country as to the rights of neutrals ., ybich he characterised as most liberal and humane .
A desultory debate followed on the Eastern question generally , but tiie speakers "being LordD . Stuart , Mr . Price , Mr . H . Baillie , Sir H . Willooghby , Mr . French , and Mr . DJgby Seymour , it did nob rise to any point of interest . The bills for disfranchising corrupt voters in Canterbury , Cambridge , and other boroughs were postponed till the 12 th of May . A sum of 16 , 024 , 100 / . | in Exchequer-bills was voted , and the routine business having been disposed of , tbe House adjourned at half-past eight . Their Lordships literall y did no business whatever , and adjourned in a very short time after they met .
SATint » AY , April 29 th . In the House of Comniaas last niglit , in reply to Sir John Walsfi , Sir J . Graham state-d that 830 officers , 21 , 119 men , and 2259 horses , had been sent to Turiey since the 8 th of February , besides 835 O tons of ordnance stores , employing 92 transports , of -vrhich 20 were steamers , and the others were Bailing -vessels ; and he thought that , considering the distance which ) iad been traversed , tJio operations perlorined were of great magnitude .
