LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY U.

Tux abrupt lerminatke of General GARIBALDI%
Viat to England has now probably received all the
explanation of which it is susoeptible, and we may
hope that the subject will be allowed to drop.
Mr. Glare:rose, by inviting the speakers at the
Primroes-hill meeting to a personal conference, has
shown public men in all free countries bow they may
acknowledge the rights of public opinion without the
least sacrifice of their own dignity and independence.
What the public wanted to know was whether
Mr. GLADOSONZ really urged GARIBALDI to go
" became his presence might lead to complications
" unpleasant to the Government." Mr. GLAD-
!mows, or any other friend of GARIBALDI, might
form and express his own opinion of the General's
health, of the advisableness of curtailing the list
of his visits, or, that being found impracticable,
of his returning at once to Caprera ; differences
of opinion on three points would have bad no
public importance. But it would have been a
matter for us to inquire into se Englishmen,
interested in the position and exigencies of the
administration of this country, if the.Cnaicesuon
of the Excxsoun: had made the representation
ascribed to him. He did not make it. Mr.
OLLDBSONB is reported to have said yesterday :

replied, " Kr. Gladelooe, am I to undue...sad flat you wish

in quested:a.
This is Mr. Girneroirx's account of his inter-
view with the General on Sunday, the 17th of April.
No third party was present, and for Englishmen
Mr. GLADITOBS'S authority will be final.
How is it then that any misconception has pre-
vailed! It may be entirely traced to the strong
impression on General GARIBALDI'S mind, amount-
ing to a f ull conviction, that Mr. Guneroesingiving
the advice he did, the whole tendency of which was
to abridge or terminate the General's visit, spoke
on behalf of the Government which had some Drawn
for desiring his departure. GARIBALDI Saws great
Dumber of his old friends after his interview with
Mr. Gcsuirroes, and to all who inquired be said
be was not going away because of his health, but
because it wee desired by the Government. It is
often difficult to amount for the false impressions we
receive. Sometimes the mind is predisposed by some
cause to misinterpret words and acts of a particular
tendency ; sometimes we see with the eyes of our
friends. Whatever the cause, it is a fact that
General GARIBALDI himself believed that
he was in the first place advised to
cut short his provincial tour, and in the next com-
mended for preparing to go home, because his de-
parture would be convenient to the Government.
Evidence on this point is abundant. The mistake
which those of his friends who have taken Mr.
Girrerrons's advios amiss, and have commented
on it, have made was that of assuming that
Gsaraxi.Di's conviction, instead of growing up
in his mind in the way of reflection
and inference, must have been produced
by some direct and positive statement of Mr.
GLADSTONE corresponding to it. Mr. GLADSTONE
stated yesterday that he bad not the smallest
knowledge of the impression on the General's
mind. This is to be regretted. It is within our
knowledge that on the Tuesday after the memorable
Sunday night when Gsaresf.nt's resolution was
taken, some gentlemen, aware of the opinions which
hebadformed and wasexpressing tohis frierids,Sook
the trouble to point out to a number of the gentle-
men who were chiefly responsible for his depar-
ture, the danger which existed that public opinion
might be misled. They said, " G•kraixot
"is going away because he sincerely believes
" such a step is desired by the Government. Every-
" body who hears him say this will form his own
" opinion as to the mesons which have led him to
" think so, and most persons will believe that he
" must have been told so by the Government. It
" will not be sufficient to deny that any pressure
" has been pat upon him by the Government.
" The thing to be done is immediately to remove
" the false impression from the General's mind."
This advice, which was surely not without reason,
appeared to be acquiesced in, but it seems not to
have been acted on, and much inconvenience has
been the consequence. The facts, however, are
now before the public. The General's departure
has received all the explanation of which it is
capable, and the public, satisfied by Mr. GLAD-
irroßs's dear statement on the most important
point in dispute, will be glad to let the subject rest.
