Tams appears to be a good deal of superfluous ingenuity at work in discovering the precise objects of GARIBALDI'S approaching visit to England. One French official writer has the satisfaction to predict that the enthusiastic welcome to the great Italian in England will be at once and equally distasteful to the Governments of Austria and of Italy. The Cabinet of Turin will not be par ticularly grateful for so singular a compliment to its patriotism. Austria has not now to learn for the first time that her obstinate refusal to part with Venetia on handsome and honourable terms is as little to the taste of England as her outrageous zeal for the cause of nation alities in Sleswig. GARIBALDI Will be greeted by the people of England on his own merits as a mao, without respect to the convenience or dis pleasure of any foreign Government. Evidently GARIBALDI, whether he comes among us in a public or in a private capacity, cannot but be regarded as the foremost representative of his country's cause. And it is because that cause, of which he is the life and soul, is very near and dear to English sympathies, that all England is burning to do honour to the new-born Italy in the person of her purest hero. There is nothing in this to irritate the susceptibilities of any Power, for GARIBALDI is to-day what be was fifteen years ago—the soldier of Italian independence. And the heart of the British nation no more wavered when the destined liberator of Naples became a home less fugitive on the Adriatic coast, than when the giver of a kingdom lay a wounded prisoner at Varignano. The steadfastness, the intensity of this English feeling is well known to GARIBALDI himself ; and if it needed proof, his friends might point to the pages of certain of our contempora ries, whose sagacity in giving way to the force of popular currents of opinion is only equalled by their alacrity in striking a man who is down and forsaking a cause in distress. When the journal which, after extolling to the skies the conqueror of the Two Sicilies turned on the victim of Aspromonte to spit taunts of contemptuous pity in his face, takes his name and fame once more under its patronage ; and when even the journals of that Tory party which has the foulest foes of Italian liberation for its allies, joins the national chorus of salutation, there is no need to assure GARIBALDI, no possibility of dis guising from his enemies, that the policy of the English people towards Italy is as unchangeable as it is irresistible and universal. Let us leave, then, to foreign busybodies to de termine the secret purpose of GARIBALDI'S visit to our shores. The plain fact is, as we were saying the other day, that this visit is really and truly nothing more than the fulfilment on GARIBALDI'S part of an old promise to many dear per sonal friends, and the satisfaction of • long cherished desire to pay to our country the homage of a profound and heartfelt gratitude and affec• tion. Those who have the happiness to know that great man most intimately know that he regards England as the representative in the modern world of what he calla " the good principle." He is not the man to be blind to our faults, or to flatter our prejudices, but he looks to the majestic image of ancestral Freedom in this island as the seaman to some beacon light, burning clear and high over the gloom and waste of waters. Nor can the moat jealous of our neighbours im pute it to our noble guest or to ourselves as an offence that the foremost representative of Italian unity and independence cannot, if he would, set his foot in safety on the shores of France. GARI BALDI admires, as we do, the splendid qualities of the French people, and he has never accused the fellow-countrymen of Vicroa limo of taking away his birthplace or of holding Rome in bondage. But he feels that on English ground, and face to face with the free English people, he shall beat take heart and hope for the conflict that must come, and upon which he has sworn to spend all that remains to him of life and strength. Thus much, at least, we are at liberty to say without reserve and without offence as to any public or political significance that may attach to G 4RIBALDI'I coming among his English friends. There need not, and cannot be, the slightest pre text for reticence or evasion in such a case. The re presentative man of Italian freedom comes to the representative land of liberty and justice, as to the home and country of all that he holds most sacred and most precious in this world. But the dignity of History will pardon us if we suggest that GARIBALDI, apart from his public character, may be allowed to come to England as a private gentleman seeking change of air and scene, and rest, and accepting the hospitalities of unostentatious friendship. Most certainly he does not come to be made the lion of breakfast parties, the underlined spectacle of Belgravian drawing rooms. If any amiable aileffaati contemplate making use of him in this way, we would take the liberty to remind them of his words to the populace at Messina :—" 7am no cumed:an." There is no man alive to whom the " ovations" that delight a charlatan are more odious. No doubt he counts many cordial well•wishers and admirers in all ranks of English society, and among the highest in the land may be found not a few who have been indebted to him for many graceful and serviceable ‘.42CgRESO, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 31, 1864. courtesies and kindnesses. :Nor, althouglrellin tially a man of the peliolo. is he Awe of that vulgar sort of democrats who affect thliwnk themselves traitors to their order if they accept the civilities of high-born and well-bred gentle men. A man of his stamp is by right divine the equal of men the mod exalted by the accident of fortune. At the same time, it is perhaps not un• necessary to insist, in no invidious spirit, that it is to the British people in its largest sense that GARIBALDI conies, to thank them for their constant fidelity to his cause and country, through all varieties of fortune, and to tell them how the snbought love of • great free people nerves • patriot's arm and fortifies his heart. frbt court.

DIARY OF THE J•PANESE AMEARSADORA.—The Japanese Mohammedan who lately visited this country have published their diary through the bookseller Foo.yab, at Yeddo. Among other things it is therein said that the people of the west are very little different from each other ; the dresses are the same as well as the weapon, though one nation manses them better then mother ; the French, above all, appear to excel therein. Ceremonies and bosomy are very easy. and the honours to be paid to a sovereigu are very nearly the same as to a person of inferior reek —one takes his bat off, makes a small reverence, and there with the thing is finished. At our audiences with the princes they were not separated from as by a curtail' ; even the princess was not veiled, aid rite as high as the prince. The lords were very civil, even too Heil, for they allowed us to eat and drink more then was in accordance with our ceremouies. The lower classes were lees civil, and annul vocally demonstrated that they thought us ugly. Aetceg the women there are many haw/sortie ones—among others, the Empress of the French. They run like a man. In order to appear taller they wear a high bonnet. Ev en frishionble women dance very mac ; they hang us the arm of the rata, sad one sees the men fropeetly run aloe( the street in the arms of women. We behave them to be their own wine. Women in general enjoy ton much liberty, and the fashion able ones wear the Name dresses as those of the lower class. The dream of the women, especially at night, is not always decent. Excepting the Dutch women, all other European women stead below the French. The men are stiff, = a ls m , sod a little proud ; they wear no weapons, and very the distinction of their rank. It appears that everybody, and even the fashionable people, frequent the cake. High officers even frequent the theatres. We were sorry we could not understand everything there. Almost everybody had a spying•glass, which, perhaps from distrectroa. was always directed at us. The merchants are peered, aad the shopkeepers do not like one to taro their articles too much about.

THE CONFEMEICIL 4 • "Should the conference ammo*" says the la &pendants, "Austria and Prussia will propose the union of the two duchies, and their &thank trative and political separation from Denmark. They would only remain united to the Danish Mo narchy by the personal bond of a common Sove reign. Russia would prefer a return to the stipula tions of 1851-52 ; the Germanic Confederation will demand the union of the duchies, and a complete autonomy under a new dynasty— that of the Augostenburgs, whilst France might favour those views in a certain measure, in asking that the populations should be consulted, and that the expression of their wishes should be accepted by the powers. For this latter solution to be adopted, however, it must be first preceded by an armistice and the complete evacua tion of the territory. While awaiting the deve lopment of the policy of France, the Paris journals which draw their inspirations in governmental regions, without directly opposing the conference, direct their efforts to show, on the one hand, what difficulties remain to be surmounted, and, on the other, how the project, as it has been formed by England, that is to say, without fixed bases pro posed beforehand, may justly give rise to the ob jections which England opposed to the congress." THE SLESWIG INVASION. It is clear that the Prussians were beaten book with heavy loss in their attempt to surprise at 3 in the morning the positions of Duppel. An official telegram from Copenhagen declares the loss of the defenders to be relatively small ; another, of a non official character, asserts that the Prusaians had upwards of 900 men put hors-de-combat, besides having a number taken prisoners. The Austro-Pritssians have not made any further attempt against Fredericia. The visit of the King of Denmark to the town has excited the zeal and courage of the troops. It would appear to have been erroneously stated that the Prince of Augustenburg had been again requested of late by Prussia and Austria to remove from KieL The two great German powers, as is well known, hid a proposition before the Ger manic Diet in December to the effect that the prince should be requested not to continue his residence in the Duchies, but that proposition was rejected on the 2nd January, and the prince has not since been the object of any suggestion either from Vienna or from Berlin. The Federal commissioners in Holstein have published the subjoined notice :—"As it has been considered advisable to confer on a single and same authority the commissariat service of the army of execution and of the Austro-Prussian troops in Holstein, those functions will be executed, from the let April next, by the intendance-general of the federal troops, and the special Austro-Prussian com missariat will be suppressed from that date." FLOGGING OF WOMEN IN AUSTRIAN POLAND. A letter from Lemberg (Galicia), in the Prue of Vienna, says :—" Since the beginning of the month the military tribunals in this province have been actively occupied. They try on an average four cases a day. A certain number of persons have been condemned to corporal punishments for various offences, particularly for having insulted sentinels when on duty. Several individuals have been bastinadoed or whipped for that misdemeanor, among them two women—Julia Chorostcwka, a dressmaker, aged 34, who received 10 lashes, and Catherine Samboraka, a servant, aged 20, who had a similar punishment. A great number of persona have been condemned to imprisonment for from one month to four." THE POPE'S HEALTH. The Parisi Nation notices a rumour that the Pope has received extreme unction ; but false reports of the Pontifi's health have been so frequent as to render the phrase, "under all reserve," more than usually appropriate to this news. (arum's retscasais.) THE HOLSTEIN ESTATES. ALTONA, MARCH 31. The deputiedof the Holstein Estates will meet at Kiel on Tuesday next.

The following is the exact text of the English note* communicated to Baron !Lubeck, the President of the Federal Diet, by Sir Alexander Malet, the English Minister, an analysis of which was for warded yesterday : . _ March 23,1864. The undersigned, her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extra ordinary, kr., has the honour to lay the following commaui cation, in the name of his government, before his Excellency Baron von Kfibeek, he., the President of the High Federal Diet, with the request that he will submit it to the As sembly o►er which he presides. Her Majesty ham seen the outbreak of hortilities in the North of Europe with great regret. While taking ► deep interest M the welfare of the in habitants of the Duchies of Holstein, Lambing, a•d Skew*, her Majesty deplores the coutiriaatioa of a co•test calculated to threaten the indepeedenvs of a state forming • component part of the general European system, and cm tributing to the balance of power. Her Majesty would equally regret. upon the more of humanity, the s•criie of human life which the prams tion of the war would entail. Her Majesty bee therefore requested the Courts of Aus tria, Preemie, and Denmark to empower representatives, who should meet at • °Deference to be held in London:, the object of which is the deliberation upon the means to be adopted for the rwestablialunent of the blaming of pesos. The goverment. of Austria and Prussia have signified their readiness to mod representatives to such a oonfereaos. The government of Denmark has also idgeifisd its suet to a conference, provided such meeting should be authorised to deliberate epos the basis of the treaties of IKSI-52. These treaties having been concluded under the auspices of Austria and Prussia, and the arnagements effected with Denmark having received the approval of the Germanic Diet, her Majesty's government would have been quite disposed to accept thew treaties and engagements as the point of departure for the deliberations of the conference of 1864. As, however, it is desirable to avoid all misuaderstasiding, and the delay which might be appreheeded therefrom, her Majesty proposes to lay down simply the following as the basis of conference :—Po find a mesas foe restoring to the North of Europe the blessings of peace. Tbe undessigoed takes this opportunity, ice. Mined/ A. Yam.. The second note, containing the formal invitation to the Diet to take part in the conference, was for warded at the 26th inst. The text is a. follows : Minh 26. In reference to his DOW of the 23rd Mat., the nodutigued, Envoy Mitraordletry and Minister Plenipotentiary al her Britannic bleiegle, has the honour to inform kis Excellency the President - of the Diet that it is the ',lmhof her idalesty's government the proposed conferences should be opened in London upon the 12th April next. While conveying to the high Federal Diet the invitation of her Majesty's govern ment to participate in this effort to restore the blessings of peace to the North of Europe, by Mat:acting a representa- tive to take part in the conference, the undersigned is desired to inquire whether the period appointed by her Majesty's government would be convenient to the high as tembly presided over by his Excellency. The undersigned, (Signed) A. MALVIN, EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM On OWN COKUSPONDI37.) PARIS, WIDNEiDAT Evuuo. I have no more private information touching the differenoes between the Archduke Maximilian and the Emperor of Austria and his family council, but I observe that the evening papers, most likely to reflect the impressions of the government, speak very seriously of it, and seem to have no warrant for suggesting that things look better than they did yesterday. The Pays says : Our private letters from Vienna lead ua to believe that the members of the imperial family look with regret upon the archduke's resolution to take possession of the afezioan throne, and are trying to persuade him to give up the pro ject. We read in the France : Although it seems difficult tl "appose that. after the archduke's journey to London, Brussels, and Paris, soy serious obstacles to his acceptance of the crows oan now have presented themselves, yet the rumours on the subject are sufficiently pea:Wisest for it to be our duty to report them. The government journals conaintie to sneer at the prospects of the conference, all for the purpose of exalting the Emperor's abortive congress as the prime wisdom and exclusive cure for all European evils. The Pays, alluding to a Vienna despatch in the Times, says :—" Why the 12th of April, more than any other day ? Why, because Lord Russell, in his last despatch, expressed a desire to see the con ference open at that period. The too zealous cor respondent of the Times hastened to transform Lord Russell's vague desire into an assured fact. And yet n2thing is less certain, or even less pro bable, thaulhe meeting of the conference at all." M. Mazr.ini was to-day sentenced to transporta tion for life by the Assize Court of the Seine as an accomplice with Greco, Trabucco, Imperatori, and Sciaglioni, in a plot against the Emperor's life. Judge Camusat-Busserolles presided, and the Ad vocate-General Merveilleux-Dnvigneanz acted as public prosecutor. As usual in cases of tont - innate—i.e. trial of parties who do not appear —the court pronounced judgment without the assistance of a jury. Rumours have been current that important additional evidence against Mazzini would be brought forward on this woe sion, but I have not heard whether any such was actually produced. In general French courts are not particularabout evidence in cases of contutnace. They are apt to go upon the principle that if a man, no matter of what nationality, does not show alacrity to give himself up to the sort of justice of which the world has lately seen a specimen at Aix, that backwardness alone is sufficient proof of his guilt. MM. Carnot and Gamier Pages, and M. Stiive nard, the opposition deputy for the Nord, took their seats in the Corps LegisLW, the bureaux having declared their elections regular. Lady Cowley gave a ball last night, on which occasion the new ball-room at the embassy was thrown open for the first time since its completion. Cards are out for a second ball on April 6. "The banquet," says the !port, " which the Prince Imperial was to give on the 16th to the enfants de troupe, his companions in arms, took place yesterday in the Galeria de la Pax, at the Tuileries. His imperial highness presided, wearing for the first time his stripe as a sergeant. The Emperor and the Empress, who have hitherto pre sided on such occasions, were present as spectators only." THE RE-GALLSITOMO. —LIV ERNUOL, WZDNESDAY. —The extra Cunard steamer Sidon, which arrived here to-day, left New York os the 16th instant, and on the 18th, when in 1at.:44145, 100. 64.32, she was boarded by a boat from bet Xajeety's ship Styx, then in match of the Italian iron-clad frigate Re-Galantsiorno, which had been reported at New York by the Star of theWert u is a disabled condi tion. The captain of the Styx, up to the 16th, had seen soiling of the missies frigate. The Italian government has just granted the pri vilege of establishing libraries at all the railway studious, es is done in France. Belgium, and England. _ . Queen Christina, who passed the winter at Hyhres, arrived at Manillas ma Thursday last, to assist at the religious exercises during the last days of Holy Week. The ex-Queen was accompanied by the Duke of Biaasarss, her son-in-law, the Marquis of !label, and her daughter the marchioness. A letter from gonderburg says :—" A number of English amateurs are daily docking upon us, all of them heat upon evincing their sovereign coeterept of what are called the perils of war. Sentries are posted at the end of the bridges on the &Warburg side to prevent civilians crossing over to llybbirl unless provided with a pea from headquarters. The officers of the staff are, however, liberal to a fault, and they hardly ever dream of re fusing a card to any person, especially to an English ' man, applying for it. Armed with that talisman, our fen-loving tourists walk up to the windmill, rummage about from from fort to fort, jump upon parapets, crouch under block-houses, stand on the glade, making the most advantageous position to view the exchange of iron projectiles—as eager for the sport as if it were a game of cricket or football. The recklessness of their daring and the oddity of their travelling costume puzzle the otdoera, and afford unspeakable amusement to the men. One of these strangers, a youth of noble bloodand mien, fresh from Oxford, clad in a sort of buff leather capd-pie, has been nicknamed Robinson Crime, and his indivisible companies, • stalwart fellow, 'up toanything,' goes, of coarse, by the name of his man Friday. There was • mere boy of 17 the other day who bad perched himself on the very top of the Dyb -1.51 windmill to ' see the fun,' and no entreaty or exposesda tion could induce him to alight from his elevated station, 'the sight was so exciting."' Baia. BY LADY Cowtat.—Lady Cowley gave a epleodid bell at the British Embeasy, Paris, on Tuesday night, the eompany—for whom 900 invitations bad been issued—consisting of the members of the diplomatic corps, I the ministers. and other high dignitaries, and the dile a the fashionable society of Paris. The new ball-room was ' definitively inaugurated on this occasion, and presented • most charming appearance, from the admirable manner in which the lighting was managed. The chandeliers descended only in part through the ceiling, so that the glare of the gas was greatly dimi nished ; in addition, by means of flues, the heated atmosphere was allowed to =ape, whilst • supply of cool air, introduced by other pipes very ingeniously contrived, at to the room a most agreeable temperature, Wren when crowded with dancers. The flooring below also attracted much admiration, being composed of moat artisti cally arranged 'marquetry work. The whole of the lower sebum were thrown open on the occasion. An emoollent sapper was provided at about 1, sad dancing was afterwards resumed until an early hour in the morning. The attention of Earl Cowley and of the =boardroom to their numerous guests was the subject of general remark.—Galaglioni.

COLONEL mum, M.P., AND HIS COI • Last night a public meeting was held` in the ! Music Hall, to hear an address from Colonel Luke White, Y.P. for the borough and on. of the junior First Lords of the Treasury. A great many conservatives were present and the proceedings were of a stormy character. Colonel Wain, in the course of ha speech, observed that in the position in which he was placed Alan humble member of the government he we. not able to say what would be the details of the budget for the promos year. This much be was authorised to say, that there would be this year, as last, an ample surplus. This fact ssppookke volumes for the financial ability of the Chaaoellar of the Exchequer. (Applause.) As an humble ..amber of the House of Commons he looked upon that great man with great admiration. (Continued applause.) Without doubt there was no man in the House of Commons who could for a moment be compared to him for eloquence and ability. These was no man who desired more to benefit his country men, and though he (the speaker) had the greatest respect for Lord Palmettos, and trusted that the day was far dis tant when the country would lose his valuable servioes, yet he looked forward to the time when Mr. Gladstone would be premier of England. (Applause.) The opposition side of the hoses was very anxious for a diesolution. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that there would he a dissolution this Tear.
