DEPARTURE OF GARIBALDI,

Yesterday, after less than a fortnight's sojourn in the ca-
pital, General Garibaldi quitted London on his return to his
island borne in Caprera. With the General also left his two
sons, Menotti and Ricciotti, his secretary, his surgeon, and
the other members of the little household that accompanied
him from his islan 1. Up to last night no effort had been
spared by delegates from various deputations to induce the
General to postpon3 his departure for at least a time; but
Garibaldi, having accepted the Duke of Sutherland's invi-
tation to proceed in his yacht to Caprera. could not think of
drawing back at the eleventh hour from such an engage-
ment. He therefore firmly adhered to the intention he ex-
pressed in the early part of this week of leaving town on
Friday. During the week ho had expressed a desire to meet
the Americans resident in London before his departure, and
yesterday he accepted an invitation to breakfast with the
Hon. Freeman H. Morse, consul for the United States, at
his residence, Kensington-gate. Among others present be-
sides the host and Mrs. and Miss Morse, were the U.S. Mi-
nister, Mr Adams, and Mr Wilson and Mr Moran, secretaries
of Legation, Mr Cyrus W. Field, the Hon W. M. Evarts,
Mr J. S. Morgan, Mr W. E. Forster, M.P., and Mrs
Forster, Mr Seely, M.P., and Mrs Seely, Mr Rossini, &c.
After the kouner a large number of American ladi-
gentlemen were presented to the General. ST- and
...ortly before
12 o'clock Garibaldi returned with his h,
..,st to Mr Seely's
residence at Prince's-gate.

Biachi, Ciocci, Cetti, G. Galli,

and the bea:er of the national flag, Mr Bareggi, called at

Prince.'s-gate to take their farewell of the General. The
committee arranged themselveson either side of the entrance
to the mansion, and were most kindly received by their
renowned countryman, who, while heartily shaking hands
with them, wished them and their families and friends every
happiness.
After leaving Prince's-gate, the General, with Mr Seely,
drove to Lord Shaftesbury's residence in Grosvenor-square,
and afterwards proceeded to Stafford. house, arriving there
at half-past 12. There was no crowd, for it was believed
that the General had already left town, and certainly none
expected him at Stafford-house. Yet the visit to Stafford-
house was made expressly with the view of affording his
Royal Highness the Prince of "Wales an opportunity of
paying a private and friendly visit to the great Italian pa-.
triot before quitting this country. The Prince of Wales
came to town yesterday to attend a meeting of the Council
of the Duchy of Lancaster, and after the transaction of this
business his Royal Highness walked from Buckingham
Palace to Stafford. house without attracting any observa-
tion. At Stafford-house ho remained for upwards of an
hour. It is needless to say with what sincere satisfaction
the announcement of this visit by his Royal Highness to
the General will be received throughout the country. At a
little before 4 o'clock Garibaldi left Stafford louse for
Cliefden-house, near Maidenhead, the seat of the Duchess
Dowager of Sutherland. He will resume his journey
for Plymouth on 7.4tiondav; and will pass that night at Col.
Peard's re,io.ence, Penguite, Cornwall. On Tuesday morn-
ing the general and his friends embark on board the Duke
of. -dutherland's yacht for Caprera.

We are favoured by Mr. Seely with a copy of the follow-
ing farewell address from Garibaldi to the English nation :
" I offer my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the English
nation and their Government for the reception I have met
wich in this free land, I cane here with the primitive
object of thanking them for their sympathy for me and for
my country, and this my first object is accomplished. I
have desired to be altogether at the disposition of my Eng-
lish friends, and to go to every place where I might be
wished to go, but I find that I cannot now fulfil all these
engagements of my heart.

"If I have caused some trouble and disappointment to
many friends, I ask their pardon. but I cannot draw the line
between where I could and where I could not go, and there-
fore for the present these are my thanks and my farewell.
" Sti.l, I hope, perhaps, at no distant time to return to
see my friends in the domestic life of England, and to re-
deem some of my engagements with the generous people of
this country, which, with deep regret, I feel that I cannot
now fulfil.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—Allow me io confirm everything that was stated
yesterday evening by Mr. Gladstone in the House of
Commons.

The advice tendered to General Garibaldi was dictated
solely by considerations for his health and position. The
names of those present at the meeting would be a sufficient
proof that no other thought could have had any influence.
Many of them wore those of his long-tried and best friends,
who had hazarded much more in his behalf than would be
involved in resistance ev'll to the actual displeasure of a
foreign Power.

That such displeasure, however, was a simple invention
I assert, and am able to prove.

The solid, persevering, and he.trty attachment of Mr.
Gladstone to the cause of Italy and General Garibaldi is as
notorious as it is generous and true ; and though I cannot
for myself claim any such honour, I declare in the most
solemn manner, and on th 3 word of a gentleman, my firm
belief that we were all of is animated by the same ardent
desire (without rt fel-moo to anything, or anybody, but the
General himself) to urge that, and that only, which was
indispensable to his persons! welfare.
It was, I assert, the Geterars own and unsuggested de-
cision to give up the provincial journey altogether. He
could not, he declared, draw a line of preference for certain
towns, and that to accomplish the whole list was impossible

HAMBURG, April 22, Evening.
Yesterday afternoon the King of Prussia arrived
at the Castle of Gravenstein, and after a short stay
proceeded to Atzbull, where he saluted the regi-
ments which had been engaged in storming the
Duppel redoubts. His Majesty praised and thanked
several of the officers and soldiers, and the whole
of the troops defiled before the King; after which
he took his leave, and at 4.30 p.m. went on to the
trenches. Early this morning Herr von Bismark,
accompanied by Herr Kendell, councillor of lega-
tion, passed through Hamburg on his way to join
the King of Prussia. It is said that the object of
the King's visit to the duchies is to sound the
population, and to pave the way for a vote in con-
formity with the views of the Prussian government.
It is also said that the Emperor of Austria is ex-
pected in the duchies.
