" AnseNee of information and commencement " of negotiations," as Mr. Disitsxm put it last night, are either of them indisputable reasons for arresting and postponing a parliamentary ex pression of opinion on the foreign policy of her MaJesrv's Government. Let us enjoy while we can the luxury of agreeing with the leader of the Opposition in the propriety and discretion of moving the " previous question," when it is gravely proposed to the House of Commons to record overnight its deliberate conclusions on a question of foreign policy which is to come before a Conference of the plenipotentiaries of Europe next morning ; a Conference, in Mr. DisaseLt's dramatic language, about to meet " in this city, " in this parish, within sound of that very clock." It will probably strike many simple people out of doors that the first serious debate of the session on the Sleswig-Holstein papers might be better timed than on the day after the storming of Duppel by the Prussians. Any tolerably attentive observer of political affairs in this country will be at no loss to estimate the sagacity with which Mr. DISRAELI seizes an undeniable excuse for " reserving" the judgment of his party on a course of policy for which he has not only no sub stitute to offer, but no criticism, except of the most negative character. The leader of the Opposition takes exception fairly enough to the tardiness of the Government in producing the papers without which it was impossible for Par liament to ascertain the policy of Ministers ; and he displays his peculiar dexterity in rejecting the responsibility of relieving its embarrassments or anticipating its failure. This is, at least, very clever steering. But when he traces all the deplorable events in Sleswig which the Foreign office has been unable to prevent to Lord Ressezn's ineffectual and abortive moral aid to Poland, and subsequent refusal to acoept the EMPEROR'S idea of a Congress, he suggests too much. For, as Lord PstmeiteroN asks, would a Tory Government have gone to war for Poland, or preserved an absolute silence on Polish wrongs, when week after week the House was provoking some declaration from Ministers in response to public feeling throughout the country ? Or would they have aczepted the EMPEROR'S invitation to • Congress ? To these questions, the only cate gorical answer the leader of the Opposition could give, if compelled to abandon all evasive or dilatory pleas, must be, " Certainly not." So that it can be hardly said, to use a vulgar phrase, that the Opposition takes much change out of the foreign policy of the Government up to the present moment. Should the Conference dissolve without pacifying Germany or Denmark, Mr. DPZRAELI will no doubt be better provided. It is evident from the tenuor of Mr. BEM:GI:Bes amendment that even among his own party, as, perhaps, on the' Liberal aide, there are at least as many Danes as Germans ; as many Poles as Russians. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, however, succeeded in convincing the House, if not the Under-Secretary of Foreign Affairs, that he had the capacity to digest and assimilate • series of enormous Blue books without injury to his sprightliness and wit. Mr. LAYARD appeared quite hurt at the sportive cruelty with which the member for Liskeard dis sected the despatches which had been laid upon the table, and insisted with indignant emphasis that the Sleswig-Holstein question, with all its niceties and intricacies, had puzzled the ablest heads inGermany, and was not to be disposed of in an off-hand manner by a humorous and indepen dent member of Parliament. One cannot but agree with Mr. LATARD, that it is easier to state the difficulties of such a question than to solve them. But is it the business of au independent and humorous member on the back benches to look at foreign politics from a Foreign-office point of view ? Mr. OSBORNE was playing his proper part when he extracted all the comic bite from the Foreign Minister's "incessant " honest remon strances to one continental Power and another, all dictated by the soundest intentions. And without reference to the tendency of his sympathies as between Dane and German, or of his opinions on the particular question of succession in Holstein, we must express our conviction that Mr. OSBoRNE went straight to the final issues of all international questions in the future, in protesting against the pretension of diplomacy to dispose of the destinies of any people against or without their con sent. A more striking text for such a sermon as Mr. OSBORNE preached so pleasantly last evening could not be found than that Treaty of 1852, ' which within the short spew of twelve years is to be sat upon by a second Conference, and by a Con ference which, if it is to do any good, must begin by discharging the duties of • coroner's inquest. Mr. KINGLANE'S amendment was also in spirit, though not perhaps in form, in conformity with that new right of nations which is taking the place of the 1 old artificial right of dynasties ; a right which, it should be remembered, belongs to Denmark Proper as much as to Holstein or Sleswig. It may depend on the result of the deliberations of the Conference whether the people of Den mark Proper, so contemptuously described last evening, by more than one speaker, as a " mob," shall insist upon the right to provide for their own national integrity and independence with out consulting the convenience of any foreign Power. The sole avowed object of the Conference, however, being to restore peace between Ger many and Denmark, and to preserve the peace of Europe, Lord Palmas-1143N ia judicioilily content to take credit for an "incessant" anxiety to compare •that result as the ruling passion of the Government.

CAPTURE OP THE STEAMER BAVARIA BY A DANISH FRIGATE.—A telegram from Hamburg states that the Ham. hurg and American Company's steamship Bavaria, bound from Hamburg to New York via Southampton, has bra captured by a Daniell frigate off the mouth of the Weser. A despatch from Southampton, dated yesterday evening, says:—" The Bavaria had a large number of presagers on board, and the value of the ship and cargo is estimated at IM,OOOI. The Bavaria ought to have arrived here early this morning to receive the French aid English portion of her cargo, and was to have sailed for New York at midday on Wadi:wary, as advertised. The same oompry's steamer Germania, which arrived here this morning from New York, is still detained in the river off Netley Hospital waiting orders. It is not likely now that she will leave for Hamburg, se her passengers have been landed, end proceed to their destination via London. It is expected the Germania will discharge b.r cargo at this port, to be reshipped in English bottoms for Hamburg. and that she will sail from this port for New York direr."

PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OP TUC CITY TO GENERAL GARIBALDI. (THIS DAY.) A vast concourse of people assembled at an early hour this morning in front of the residence of Mr. Seely, M.P., Princes-gate, anxious to witness the d ep arture of General Garibaldi to be presented with the freedom of the City. The weather could not have been more brilliant—there being a clear sky, a bright sun, and a soft refreshing breeze. A number of female equestrians were present, and the appear ance of the fashionably dressed ladies in open carriages was not the least inter eating feature of the proceedings. The first move made at Prince's-gate was at half-past 11, when four carriages drove up to Mr. Seely'a, ooti ?eying deputations from the Garibaldi Re ception Committee, and several of the City authorities. The party having alighted, proceeded to have an interview with the general, at the conclusion of which a call was made for the carriages to form in line. This was exactly at 12 o'clock ; and the first and second vehicle having reoeived their occupants, a succesaion of enthu siastic cheers indicated the approach of Garibaldi, ' who on taking his seat in the third carriage was re ceived with the most excited demonstrations of I welcome. He was accompanied by Mr. Seely, Alderman Abbiss, and John Richardson, Req., C.C. The gentlemen comprising the deputation followed, and as the procession moved onward the cheering ran along the whole line, the carriage of the general being perfectly besieged by persons evidently desirous of gaining some slight acknowledgment. On arriving at Albert-gate the multitude began to increase, and foe a time the procession was entirely stopped, the enthusiasm of the crowd growing yet more apparent. Having arrived opposite the reei deuce of Lord Palmerston, in Piccadilly, another ovation awaited the general ; and amidst the cheers and waving of handkerchiefs, Garibaldi gracefully acknowledged the compliment paid him by several ladies who were standing in the balcony. In St. James's-street and Pall-mall the reception was particularly gratifying, the windows of the several club-houses being filled with gentle men, whilst in the balcony at the Athemeum there was a fair sprinkliog of ladies. Every available space within the railings of the National Gallery was studded with spectators, and the same may be said of St. Martin's Church. The scene in Ludgate-hill and Cheapside was one of extraordinary brilliancy. The police began to clear the road soon after 11, and although font passengers continued to move freely almost up to the moment when Garibaldi arrived, the approach of the hero visitor was from that hour prepared for with all the suitable festal accompani ments. Flags, the gayest and most appropriate, streamed from many of the shops ; the windows were all occupied by close-packed groups of spec tators ' • everyone, in short, was waiting to give Garibaldi a fitting welcome to the centre of the world's wealth and commerce. Bennett's clock establishment was resplendent with decorations, including two large medallion casts of the general, intertwined with gay festoons of artificial flowers, and surmounted with the words " A Free Man among Free Men." Some of the city bells rang out their homage. The space extending from the end of King-street to the Guildhall, and a considerable portion of Gresham-street were partitioned off so as to prevent any possible confusion at that important spot, the carriages, as they arrived, being at once drawn up to the entrance. On either side of the grand doorway, seats were provided for spectators, and I these, as would naturally be supposed, were all I occupied at an early period. There were scarcely nay external decorations, a flag, inscribed " Wel come to the City," simply expressing the great fact of the day. The presenre round the door for ingress to the interior was before noon very embarrassing to the ticket-takers and the police ; but the number of tickets having been wisely limited to the available space, wheu the door was at length opened the dense throng soon found places, and settled down with tolerable comfort. The admissions to the hall commenced, ea previously arranged, at half-past 11, and continued iu a regular stream up to half past 12. Long before 12 o'clock the interior of the Guild hall was completely taken possession of. The door way on both sides was built up in galleries, all of which were fully occupied by ladies, many of them wearing the Garibaldian colours. Theaklermen were all on the qui rive, wearing their robes of office, and facilitating the entry of their friends. The vestibule, the ante-room, and the council chamber were fully occupied, and the council chamber itself was crowded by the more favoured visitors. We ob served Aldermen Rose and Finn* Mr. Anderton, and other well-known and popular members of the corporation, actively assisting in arranging the preliminaries of the day's ceremonial. The presentation of the City freedom does not invariably take place in the council chamber, Lord Hill buying received his freedom in the Chamber lain's-otlice. Kossuth received this distinguished honour in thecouncil chamber. and onGaribaldi being asked where he should like t 3 be made free of the City of London, his characteristic reply was " Where. ever Kossuth received his freedom." The record was given to him in a massive gold box, of oblong shape, in the style of Queen Anne, having in the centre of the lid the arms of the city of London, richly chased, and ornamented with flowers. On the back is a star in burnished gold, with the letter " G " set in it in brilliants. Within this box was placed the resolution of the Common Council. The box which was much ad mired, came from the atelier of Mr. Hancock, of Bruton-street. At 1 o'clock, the lady Mayoress and four lady friends took their places on the dais. After several false alarms the appearance of the Working Men's Committee in the gallery announced that Garibaldi was close at hand. At half-past 1 a general burst of cheering in the Council Chamber no tified the general's entrance. The illustrious hem, who wort his ordinary grey cloak and looked in excellent health, passing through the open space on either side of the Common Council, was received with an ovation rather deep than loud, but marvellously expressive of esteem and admiration. The general, who wee accompanied among others by his son Rio ciotti, on amending the dais stood up for a moment and wired with simple curiosity round the room. The court having then been opened, and the resolution conferring the freedom read, the Lord Mayor took his usual seat. Thereupon Garibaldi rose, and the City Chamberlain, Mr. Scott, de livered the following address to bins on behalf of the corporation, many of the sentiments eliciting loud expressions of approbation : Illustrious Sir,—The City of London invites you today to accept the highest honour at bee disposal, placing your distinguished name upon the lid of worthies inscribed upon the roll of honorary citizenship. It becomes my duty, ac cordingly, to address to you in her issues a few words, how ever inadequate, of thanks, coneratakitios, and hearty welcome. We are well aware that an one shrinks more sensitively than yourself from the voice of eulogy, and yet, living as you do to please not yourself alma, you will feel that there see oocasioesrod this would appear to be one of them—when, for the sake of others, truth, thoagti flattering, should be hissed to. Bear with me, then, while I attempt to give feeble exprirsioe to the fseliegs of us bounded admiration sad affeetion entertained towards you by the citizens of Landau. I am not called to dilate upon the marvellous incidents of your eventful career, rivalling in interest the wildest romance, bemuse the reseletiou of t►is boeourable court, devised so as to secure a perfect used. mity of welcome, directs my remarks rather to your cha racter than to the political events of your life. History, it has bees said, usually reproduce, haul( at Intervals, more or lees frequent, but we turn her pages iu vain to meet with the prototype of Giuseppe Garibaldi ; " nose but himself can be his parallel." We Gad, sir, en counterpart to your career, even among the fabled legends of the early periods of that city with which your name is Itammicirth imperieb ably emaciated; whoa Raman; 'a the imares: of their oatietry. " Spired neither binds nor gold, Nor won, nor wife, nor limb. nor life, In those brave times al old." le your perms that primitive spirit of self.sacrince is reproduced, In combination with characteristics end yuck Amine hitherto deemed imonspatiblo. The genius of bu t noompliebed general, associated with the instincts and der* of one of the old sea-kings ; valour which liberated kingdoms sad plead them at your feet, combined with the step incenuptalillity of a Dentate', and the severe sim plicity of a Coalman' ; a heart in which the boldness of o Lsouidas dwells compatibly with the tenderness of a woman and the frost and truthfulness of • child. The whole strangely tempered and elevated by an earnest craving for the mica of peace, brotherhood, and freedom ; manifesting faith is the world's tante, in humanity, and in Gal. Twice en mature manhood, you had risked your own life to rescue a fellow creature from drowning. Then, his our own Florence Nightingale, you devote yourself to the suffering and the dying at • cholera hospital at Marseilles. Proceeding to South America, you are subject to the inflintios of torture to the utmost point of human endurance to compel (hopeless task) the betrayal of a friend ; and with generosity almost superhuman, you release, with Lie life, liberty and property intact, the monster who had so tortured you, whoa be falls into your hands. What shall I MT of the magnanimity which distributed the spoils of war and of Mormon an the ocean to the most needy of your companions, and stripped from your own back even the last remaining shirt to shelter a comrade Restored to Italy and to the work to which your life is devoted, victory places at your disposal the revenues of two kingdoms, and spoils which might have graced an °metal triumph ; but you reserve not to yourself suffi:iebt to convey you to your sea-girt rock of Capron ; and, grandest of all, when stricken down in the name of your count y, " wounded in M. house of your friends ;" suffering and helpless during thirty weary days and sleeplces eights, no taunt or reproach ecuLpahl your lips. Welcome thee, in the language of the resolution of this wart, " most generous, brave, and disinterested of of patriots." " Welcome, because the glory of thy wreath Had never shade nor stain, Because thy sword sprang never from its sheath Except to cleave a &Mo. Because thy bands outstretched to all who live, Armed sot for thine own sake, So strong to save, opened so wide to give, Do not know bow to take : Becalms thy foes can reckon to thy charge Only the noble crime Of faith too liberal and lore too lugs For this unworthy time." We thank you for the honour of this visit to our country and to our city, we aeoept implicitly the assunuvoe that you come among us to seek renewed health and to tad oppor. tnnity to thank us for the sympathy we extended, and the aid (small indeed) which we rendered to the cause of condi. tutional freedom in your beloved land. We have no selfish interest to promote in relation to this your visit The en of revolutions is to us closed. Freedom ia, u it regards onnelves, an accomplished feet. There may be deficiencies to supply, and defeats to remedy in the laws which regulate our social condition ; but we wait as a people patiently and self reliantly, being well assured than en intelligent, earnest unanimity will ever obtain for as that which we desire. We are, nevertheless, deeply indebted to you, ■ir, for stirring anew the altar fires of oar liberty, aiding us to realise afresh bow deer to us is our old familiar freedom, as we witness your struggles and sacrificea, and those of your evillest souse and brave compatriots, to win the mine for your loved Italy. You will go back to that beautiful but long num. governed country, to tell of a eight you have witnessed— unique of its kind in Europe—of a million of men contri• belting to a triumph to the uncrowned champion of liberty, without the pewees' of a single soldier ; arid you can sc. quaint those who rule that the securest throne rats solely upon the affections of a free people, and that the power to " terminate the em of revolutions" is in the keeping of rulers, and at their own disposaL And new, air, permit me the privilege of offering you the right hand of fellowship as a einem of London, requesting your somptanos, in the name of the corporation, of this souvenir of your visit to their City. We regret exceedingly in common with our fellow countrymen that having been too demonstrative in our affection, having " loved not wisely, but too well," your health renders it expedient that you , - visit should speedily terminate, let us hope, in the lan- guage of Lord Palmerston, that the early termination of your visit, and foregoing the honours awaiting you io every town in this country, however disappointing to those who admire, may have the effect of preserving to your country a life eo valueible. In the name of his lordship in the chair, of his brethren the alderman, and of every member of this court, I express & fervent hope that British skill end the iavigorsting sir of our northern climate may ocintribute strength and soundness to your enfeebled limb; rad may the unbought, spontaneous love and welcome of a free people impart fresh nerve to your arm, soil brace your patriotic heart for any work, fo r Italy or for the world, which Providence may yet have in store for you. At the close of the above address, which was much cheered, the Chamberlain said he was cum miasioned by the Lord Mayor to offer the right hand of fellowship to the General's son, Rieciotti ; the other son, who had been wounded, nut haring yet reached the hall. The Chamberlain then shook hands with Riociotti. Amidst deep silence, General Garibaldi, still standing, delivered the following reply, his earnest and thrilling tones awakening the deepest sympathy in all present. He said : " It is certainly impossible to express my gra titude to.yon, as the representative of the glory of the City of London, for the honour which you offer me to-day. I am prouder of that honour certainly than of the first place in war, the first rank in war, the first honour in war, because I consider it is the greatest honour for me to be a free man of this glorious city-(local cheers) —the focus of the civilization of the world. Ido not exaggerate in saying that, because I have seen now that this city is the very centre of liberty. Hers there is not a stranger, because every inhabitant is at home in England. (Cheers.) I repeat that it would be impossible for me to express my gratitude to you and to the City of London. But I return you my thanks not for my own self or for my brothers' sake alone, but for the sake of my country, which looks to England for any support which she can give in war. Certainly my countrymen can never be grateful enough to the English people for their support and sympathy, and for material aid in every circumstance. This is not the only occasion that I have been happy with the English people. I lazve been happy with them in many places in the world and at many times, in America parti...ularly, and under some instances it is owing to the protection of the English people that I hare been saved. In China I received from English people aid which it is impossible for me to forget, ►ud I then said that in every part of the world my gratitude, affection, and love for the English people would be imperishable. I repeat that I ant grate ful generally to the English people on my country's behalf." (Great cheering.) After the above address • round of cheers was given, and Garibaldi coming forward, exclaimed with gre at energy : "I am proud to belong to you for life . " (Immense cheers.) He subsequently shook haods with several of the aldermen and with the Lady Mayoress. Home of the Common Councilmen put ont their hands to share in this honour, but there were loud cries of " No, no ; don't annoy the General ;" and the attempt was abandoned. Before leaving the dais the General raised the box to his lips. It was then resolved that the address and the reply be entered on the minutes; that thanks be given to the Duke of Sutherland and to Mr. Seely for the hospitality which they had shown to the General ; find that the address of the Corporation be translated into Italian, and be given in that language to the GeneraL The court then adjourned, the proceedings havii.g occupied about twenty-tive minutes, awl the abo•• ceremonial was immediately followed by a d;i• ••••• • to the General at the Mansion-house. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. MEXIOO. General Santa Anna, the ex-Dictator, and his son, who had been allowed by the Regency to return to Mexico, have been again expelled. Santa Anna, on arriving at Vera Cruz, bad signed a formal acknowledgment of the authority of the Emperor Maximilian. as the legitimate government of Mexico, and pledging himself to abstain from any political demonstration whatever. But he had scarcely landed when he violated his engagement by issuing a manifesto to the people, stating his motives for returning to Mexico, denouncing the liberal party, and speaking in flattering terms of the conservatives and the French intervention. On the 12th of March an order from General Almonte, oountersigned by General &Jain°, ar rived at Vera Cruz, directing Santa Anna to be placed on board the Colbert, and taken back to Havannah. (arum's TZLZGEAII&) FRANCE. PARIS, Aran, 20, Nomura. The Moniteur of to-day says :—" The Morning Star and the Daily News assert that Earl Claren don, in the name of the British government, pro mised as a concession to the Emperor that Gari baldi should shorten his stay in England. This statement is entirely incorrect. No observation was made to Earl Clarendon by the French govern ment on the subject of Garibaldi" The Constitotionnet, on the subject of the con ference, says :—" France intends to maintain the treaty of 1852 ; but, should the conference find that that convention no longer harmonises with the present state of affairs, and wish to replace them by a fresh combination, the French govern ment, in conformity with its principles, would not consider itself entitled to dispose of the populations of the duchies before they had been consulted." The same paper refutes the statements of cer tain foreign journals, in which the mode of voting in the duchies was announced as decided—viz., by universal suffrage ; and adds—" France is aware that in such questions the usages of a country should serve as a guide."
