In reply to Mr. Walton, Mr. Balfour said in the House of Commons, that the French Ambassador had supplied the following information, viz., na soon as Admiral Rozh destvensky's presence in Kamranh Bay was knowa, representations were sent to St. Petersburg with the result that the Taar himself ordered instructions to be tele graphed to the Admiral to leave the Bay immediately, and the Buesians were subse.
