the intermingling of substances by the natural movement of their particles.

Brownian motion is the stochastic motion of molecules. As given by the kinetic molecular theory, the direction of motion of molecules is random.
Diffusion is a statistical phenomenon one observes, due to Brownian motion. The random movement of molecules ensure that a molecule will travel from its starting place, in what's called a "random walk" pattern.
Diffusion isn't EXACTLY random movement. It's usually movement of particles from areas of high to low concentration. Brownian motion, on the other hand, is completely random.
