The French Note on the Conference,

PARIS, Wednesday.

The following is an exact translation of the note
respecting the Conference forwarded by M. Droayn
de Lhays to Prince Latour d'Auvergne, the French
Ambassador in London

" Paris, March 20.

" Prince,—The Britannic Government is taking
new steps at this moment to bring about the meeting
of a Conference, and the belligerents do not appeal
as much opposed as previously to the opening of
negociations. You are aware that we have no ob-
jection to take phrt therein, if they are accepted by
all the other Courts, and I conveyed the intentions
of the Emperor's Government upon this subject
to you in my despatch of the 14th of this month.
But before taking our seat at the Conference
I wish you to acquaint the Cabinet of London
with the ideas and sentiments we should bring with
us. This perfectly friendly communication will
perhaps explain better than we have hitherto had
occasion to do the line of conduct followed by the
Imperial Government in the D ino-German differ
edce. It will also contribute, I hope, to put an end
to the suppositions of ulterior objects (arrilre
pensee) which have been so gratuitously attributed
to us.

" In associating ourselves with this effort at paci-
fication we shall find that we are in presence of two
chief interests. Upon the one hand we have to take
into account stipulations concluded with a view to
the European balance of power and furnished with
the signature of France. Upon the other, it is
impossible to misconceive the sentiments of re-
pulsion which have arisen against the work of
the plenipotentiaries of 1852. We are far from
disputing the wisdom of the combination which the
treaty of London was intended to place under the
safeguard of the public law of Europe, and if,
apart from the opposition of Germany and the
manifestation of the Duchies, we were free to obey
the inspiration of our traditional sympathies for
Denmark alone, all our efforts would be devoted to
upholding this agreement. But it is impossible
for us not to recognise the obstacles which are
opposed to the exact and precise execution of
the Treaty of 1852. If in the eyes of some
Powers, the Treaty of London possesses a sepa-
rate existence and a peculiar authority, indepen-
dently of the engagements concluded at the
s&me period between Germany and Denmark,
in the opinion of others, upon the contrary, it
is subordinated to those engagements and cannot
be separated from them. Among the German States
some have refused their adhesion, or have only given
it in a restricted form ; others, after having
formerly adhered to it, now declare themselves free.
Finally, the Germanic Confederation appears to dis-
pute the value of an act in which it has not con-
curred.

" I❑ presence of this diversity of opinions, which
will give rise to insurmountable difficulties, it ap-
pears to me indispensable to examine the interests
concerned in the existing war, without preoccupy-
ing ourselves with the letter of the treaty.

" The cause as well as the distinctive character of
this struggle is evidently the rivalry of populations
Which compose the Danish monarchy. A national
sentiment exists among each, the force of whict
cannot be placed in doubt. What then would be
more natural, in default of a course unanimously
accepted, then to take as a basis the wish of tht
populations ? 'I his method, conformable to the verit
able interest of the two parties, appears to us tilt
best fitted to bring about au equitable arrangement,
and os offering guarantees of stability. In asking th,
application of a fundamental prificiple of our public
law, and in claiming the advantages of this prig-

ciple for Denmark as for Germany, we believe we
propose the most just and facile solution of this
question, which excites such lively uneasiness
throughout the whole of Earope.—Accept,
"DROUTN DE LIWYS."

Preparations for the Reception of Garibaldi
in London.

The united sub-committees met last night at 10,
Bolt-court, Fleet-street, and were enabled to bring
their arrangements for the reception of Garibaldi,
on Monday nest, almost to a completion, The
South Western Railway directors have very hand-
somely placed a special train at the disposal of the
general and his suite, which has been accepted.
They have also resolved to lay down a carpet on
the platform, upon which the addresses are to ba
presented, and have left nothing undone which can
conduce to the cumfort of the illustrious visitor.
Mr. Staple!.oa (common councilman) has placed
a dozen carriages and horses at the serviot of
the committees, and the London General Omni
bus Company have been equally liberal. The
committees are overwhelmed with applica-
tions for tickets of admission to the rail-
way station, and a large number of one guinea
subscriptions to the Garibaldi Fund have been re-
ceive,' during yesterday, entitling the subscriber to
two tickets. At a delegated meeting of the Ancient
Order of Foresters, held yesterday, a resolution was
adopted recommending the whole of the brethren in
the London district to attend the procession on
Monday in lull regalia. Similar meetings of the
Odd Fellows and Old Friends have been held with
the same result. Finsbury-square, Paddington-
green, Lincoln's-in-fields, Borough-road, Bermond-
sey-equare, and other large spaces, have been ap-
pointed for the local societies to meet, and being
joined together, to march on to the Nine Elms
Station. Oae hundred men have been specially
appointed to act as marshals of the procession, who
wear a distinctive badge, and every possible precau-
tion has been taken to prevent confusion. The
bauds of music will be very numerous, and the dis-
play of banners very large.
