REPORTED DEPARTURE OF GARIBALDI.

Mr. D. GRIFFITH—I wish to give the government an
opportunity of anaemia( • question with respect to certain
indistinct remotes which are in circulation. It is
confidently stated that the reason of the sudden ter-
mination or interruption of Gemini °tribe&li's visit to
this country—(laughter)- • termination unexpected and by
no means confirmed by the personal observation of thorns
gentlemen who have bad an opportunity of seeing him this
afternoon—(laughter)—it is mid that the curtailment of
that visit in condoned by • suggestion of the government,
and it is also inferred by some that it comas from a sugges-
tion from other quarters. (Laughter.) I therefore afford
the noble lord at the heed of the governmeat an opportu-
nity of girls( what I have no doubt will be a satisfactory
answer, end potting an sad to all rumours of this kind.
which are extremely injurious to the character of any go'
Tennant. (Criss of " Order.") I beg to ask the noble lord
whether the government have made soy suggestion to Ge-
neral Garibaldi to induce him to curtail his visit. (Laughter.)
Lord PALIIERSTON—Sir, I have heard within • very
short period the report which has suggested the question of
the hon. member for Devices. I have been told that it has
been reported in different quarters of the town that the
termination, earlier than was expseted, of the visit of
General Geribaldi to this country was the result of some
suggestion corning from her Majesty's government, and that
that suggestion had been dictated by • communication
from the Emperor of the French, without mincing the
matter. (Laughter.) All lan say is that thane who have
spread or believed that report have done great injustice
both to the Emperor of the French and her Majesty's go-
vernment, (Chews.) The Emperor of the French, lam
quite sure, is too high minded, and of far too generous •
character, to have male any such application to her
Majesty's government, and I need not, I trust, my that any
government of this country receiving such • com-
munication from any foreign sovereign tending to
bear purely on domestic considerations would have,
very civilly no doubt—(laughter)— but at the
mine time very firmly, resisted and repelled any
such suggestion. (Hear, hear.) Sir, with regard to the
Emperor of the French, I am empowered to say by my
noble friend Lord Clarendon, who has bad some converse.
tion with him on the reception which General Garibaldi has
met with in this country, that so far from the Emperor
of the French having looked upon that reception with the
slightest degree of jealousy, for which there could not be
the smallest foundation—(cheers)—because there was
nothing in that reception consented with any feeling of any
kind bearing on France and its government, it was simply
an expression of admiration felt by the people of this coun-
try for a great and distinguished man—(hear, bear)—but I
am authorised by my noble friend to lay that in that coe•
venation the Emperor of the ',reach, so far from expression
the slightest umbrage at what had passed, said lie
looked with edmiratios on the feelings which that
reception expressed on the part of the British us-
tion, and that it did them the highest honour. (Cheers.)
Well, the government has bad nothing to do with the
shaping of his arrangements—nothing whatever. But lam
told that his visit is likely to be brought,to a close earlier
than was at flub intended purely and entirely on the score
of a regard far his health. (Hear, bear.) Every one must
know that Geseeral Garibaldi, having received in August,
1802, a vary seven wound, was confined to his bed and his
couch, I fancy, for a full twelvemonth from that period, and
that he has not yet recovered the um of the limb which
then injured. The strongest man under each circum-
stances must have suffered materially in health by so long
• confinement; but General Garibaldi is wall known
to have led a life of exertion, with exposure and
fatigue, which must have had an effect on his constitution,
and therefore it is not satirising that the general should be
is • delicate and precanoua state of health arising from
three circumstances, (Hear, hear.) Well, the general's
habits are very different from the life he has led in this
country. (Laughter.) In his island of Capron be is free
from deputations—(laughter)—free from levees, free from
visits, free from all sorts of balloon and functions, which
are attended by • coosiderable degree of exertion. (Haar,
hear.) He has been in the habit et going to
bed at eight and getting up early • and when
• person • feeble state of health, suffering
still from the effects of his wetted, is compelled to
lead the life which he has led since he hes been hers, dining
at half-pest 8, sad surrouuded by admiring friends with 11
or 12 at night, it must have au effect on his health, and
though I have not had the honour of seeing him as much
as others, I myself can bear witness to the fact that his
health has been impaired. 1 therefore trust that the early
termination of his visit, and his foregoing the booours
which are awaiting him in every town in bin country,
however disappointing to those who admire him,
may have the effect of preserving to his country
a life so valuable. (Cheers.) I am convinced that,
though every man, woman, and I would say child in
this country desires to have an opportunity of seeing
him, of taking him by the hand, and of doing him every
honour, his most ardent admirers in this country will feel
that; in allowing him to forego the pleasure which the oppor-
tunity of seeing them would have afforded him, they are
contributing to the preservation of that health, strength,
and life which every man who admires General Garibaldi
Iwishes may remain unimpaired for the esnica of that
country to which he has devoted himself. (Cheers.)
THE SLIMWIG•HOLSTEIN QUESTION.
Mr. OSBORNE, in moving that It was both unjust and
Inexpedient to insist ou the provisions of the treaty of
London, 1852, so far as they related to the order of succes-
sion in he duobies of Skew* and Holsteia, as • basis for
the settlement of the Deno-Garman dispute. altered at
some length into a consideration of the foreign policy of her
Majesty's government with reference to the Slaseig-
Holstein question. Replying to the taunt of Lord Palmer-
ston on • former night, the boo. member took credit to
himself for having aloe carefully reed and studied the blue
book, the result of which, be said, was to convince him
that the prestige of England had been seriously injured by
the course pursued by the Foreign-office, which by leading
Denmark to believe that if she resisted the demands of the
German powers she would receive material assistance from
Great Britain, was calculated to plunge the country into
war. Alluding to the 000 duct of Denmark, he also observed
that, whilst all our sympathies were naturally enlisted on
the aka of that tallest little state battling against over-
powering odds, it could not be denied that she bad availed
herself of her weakness to systematically evade her solemn
engagements, whilst her treatment of the duchies had been
narked by the most *Joann and tyrannical pleas.
Mr. PEACOCKE (who had on the paper an amendment
to move :--•• That this house, without expressing any
opisiaa as to bow it has been carried out, approves the
avowed policy of her Majesty's government in maintaining
the treaty of London of 1852, and in ceiling on the Danish
government to fulfil the promise. which it made to the two
great German Powers in 1811.2") said he wished to move
an amendonot slightly differing from that of which be had
gives notice. He regretted that he could not subscribe to
the course pursued by the right hoe. gentleman who was
about to move the previous question. If that motion was
made and agreed to the country would be under the imam-
sloe that hon. gentlemen on theconservative side of the house
had no policy, sad that the house itself bad uo opinion on
the question. He wished to ask the hoe. and gallant mem-
ber, for Hantisebn (General Peel) his opinion of that
I course of proceeding. His bon, and tallest friend declared
that he would give the house and the government an oppor-
! tautly of duly cousidering this question. lie asked him
(General Peel) whether be meant to vote for the previous
gaieties. which would virtually be to extinguish all die-
Geeslin. Hee Majesty's government would hail such a
motion with pleasure, as a vote of confidence in a modified
and diluted form. (Cries of "Nu" on the opposition benches.)
By carrying the previous question there would be axia-
-1 deice implied in the government. He thought the Rouse
; of Commons ought to exert!ess so opinion as to what policy
should be pursued at the approaching conference. Heshould,
therefore, move the following amendment : "That this
house, without expressing any opinion as to how it has bow
carried out, approve' the avowed policy of her Majesty's
government in maintaining the treaty of London of 1852,
and in calling ea the Danish government to fulfil the pro-
via«. which it made to the two great German powers is
' 1831-2."

- Mr:A. EGERTON supported the amendment, because he
thonglit it a very proper ooe.
Mr. G. DUFF said the only solution of the matter was,
to let Rho populations of Shawls and Holstein decide who
should be their ruler, either by ooasultiog each dusk, re-
spectively, or by conmultine the whole population of both.
as proposed by Frusta,. No doubt the question reduced
itself to one of nationality, but with the cry of nationality
be bad very little sympathy. (Hear, bear.)
Lord it. MONTAGU :did not think Karl Rumsll could
have acted otherwise thee be did. What he was to be
blamed for was, that instead of at mice taking a decided
part, he practised a system of constant niggling. He was
like a good-natured parson who interfered between two
angry combatants before a public-botise. He showed th•
perplexing industry of a voluminous despatch writer—

Br. C. BENTINCK, who ram amidst a cry of " Bear,

was quite Moe, as they were dies told, that Blighted had
