An intoreatlng intervlow took plaoo In Wash
ington on tho 3d between tho President and a
committoo composod of Jon? HANCOCK, J. W.
HENDERSON, B. H. LANE and J. A. POBTEII,, ap
pointed by tho Convention of the State of Texas,
who, in porsou, dolivorod to tho President an ofll
cial copy of the ordinances adopted by that body.
Judge HANOOOK, on behalf. of the committee,
addressed the Frosidont in substanoo as follows:
Mu. PRESIDENT : Wo have boen directed by the
convention of the people of Texas to present to
you the ordinancos ot a general character adopt
ed by that body, and to assure you, and. through
yoa, the national authorities, of tho loyal and
pacific dispoaitiop of the people of our State. ?.
The convention deeming it expedient to reform
and amend many of the provisions of the consti
tution of tue State, the session was Momowhat pro
tracted, extending from the 7th of February laat
to the 3d of April. But on those subjects which
have arison as results of the late unfortunate civil
war, entire unanimity of sentiment was manifest
ed by the members as to tho general scope- and
object of the action to be taken to testify the good
faith of the'people of Texas lu their acceptance of
the results of tho war, and the sincerity of their
professions O? loyalty to tho Constitution end tho
Union of the States.thereunder;' > '?.-. r n
We have the honor to present you official copies
of tho ordinances adopted by tho convention on
these subjects, and to them wa Invite your atten
tion..;,.?? ,. ..". . ..
It will be seen that by the mo3t solemn aots of
organic law the Convention declared, null and Void,
the ordinance termed the ?fdinabo*of seoesBfon,'
by which a part of the people of Texas, on the
let of 1'obruary, 1861, declared their purpose to
separate the Stato from the Federal Union. And,
notwithstanding the views and opinions..many of
the members entertained iu tho past, tho loyal
and fondly cherished sou ti tuent of many of the
citizens of'the State, tho convention recognizing
the supremacy of the Constitution of the United
States and of all laws passed in pursuance thereof,
renounced tho claim of a right on . the part.of the
State of Texas to socode from the Union.
- The entire debt growing out of, and accruing
during the war. tho convention declared null and
void.' prohibited tho Legislature from assuming or
m&lBncfSj provision for tho payment of any por-,
tt?n thereof.
By constitutional provision tho convention re
cognized as free those persons heretofore held as
slares, and declare that hereafter neither slavery
nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment
for crime, shall exist in our Stato. Freedmen are
protected in their rights of person and of proper
ty, enabled to contract and to be contracted with,
to sue audio besued, to 'acquire, hold, and trans
mit property, and to testify as witnesses in the
courts wherever, 'any interest of right of any of
them may bo involved, under the same rules of
evidence applicable to the white race; thus secur
ing to them by constitutional provision equality
before the law. leaving no material right subject
to the contingency of legislative action; not doubt
ing, however, that this claps of persons, so long
as they1 remain among us, will re?oive ample pro
tection in their rights from all departments of the
Statt government.
On all these subjects the convention has spoken
dispassionately, and in good faith, what they be
lieve the sentiments of the people of Texas.
' When to these nets are added the circumstances
connected with the manner in whioh the soldiery
of Texas laid down their arm.i, and returned to
their homes and peaceful avocations, despite the
authority of tti.-ir officers, when their judgments
were convinced that further resistance would only
augment the calamities of the war, without wait
ing for the arrival ot s national force to accept
their surrender, and that since that time these
people have readily conformed to all requirements
made- of them by the United States Government,
wo think there will bo few inatancoa found of a
people giving higher evidences of their reliability,
or the sincerity of whose professions of loyalty
should inspire greater oonndence. .A brave and
ohivalrous people who have given earnest, such
aa these, of their faith and loyalty, deserve to be
trusted. A magnanimous and just people ought
not to desire to maintain military rule over them
when they are ready and willing to .do their duty
as good cithtens.
For some months after the breaking up of the
Southern armies the public mind of Texas gave
unmistakable assurance of a feeling of gladness
and hope of an early return to peace, law, order,
and good government, of whioh they had been so
long deprived. They remembered that the na
tional Congress had claimed that a State had not
the constitutional right to secede from the Union,
and the oft-repeated declaration that the seats of
Southern members In Congress, though vacated,
I were there ta be occupied when those io rebellion
against the! Government should lay down their
arms and' return to their rightful allegiance.
They believed that such would be the policy of
the Government, and rejoiced in the hope of an
early restoration of all the integral parts of the
Union to a position of political equality, without
which republican institutions may linger for a
time but must soon perish.
We regret that truth and candor compel us to
admit that these demonstration* of hope and pa
triotic desire have, to some extent, given place to
feelings of doubt and despondoncy, attributable
in the main to two causes: first; the powerful ef
forts that have been exerted in Congress to exclude
therefrom repr?sentatives from other Statua simi
larly situated while the people are to be taxed as
those who are fully represented; and second, the
course of the military authority towards the peo
ple of Texas, in holding it as a conquered coun
try, appropriating their property without com
pensation, subjecting the citizens to military
arrests and imprisonment, often without alleging
any offence against them, to be released at the
pleasure of the officer commanding after wooka
sometimes months-of imprisonment.
But nnder all ihoao discouragements the people
are not disloyal. There is no reeling of hostility
to. the Government of the United States; no dis
position-not the slightest-to renew hostility, or
lo offer opposition to the Government. There are
evil-disposed bad men among us, some ambitious
and designing, {their number is small), who hope
to profit from arbitrary power and prosper boot in
the absence of regulated authority. They are not
loyal to any Government. But with the great mass
of t' e people, the paramount desire is the resto
ration of the Union and of Civil Government. If
these blessings borne not to the nation, the fault1
will not be with the people of Texan, many of
whom proved their loyalty to the Union by every
\ sacrifice which maduess and tyranny ? could exact,
' \ Are their rights to be disregarded because of the
left who are wicked and depraved ? The people of
Tsxae expeot and will ask only that which is law
ful-their rights as guaranteed by the Federal
Constitution. . ..'..
.. We should feel that we had only partially per
formed our duty to.the people of pur State were,
we to omit expressing to your Excellency our cor
dial approbation of your course as President of
tile United States, and particularly our approval
of your restoration policy. Your wise and patri
otio, course in behalf of the equal rights of all sec
tions of the country has revived fresh hope in
many a desponding heart, that the generation
which has experienced the most terrible shock of
civil war in modern time? may see civil and con
stitutional liberty restored throughout the entire
land.
We thank yon, in tho name of the people of
Texas, for the noble and patriotic stand yon have
taken in botialf of constitutional liberty. The olive
hranoh of peace, extended to ua by your kindly
hand, we accept in grateful spirit, and pledge to
you the support, earnest and thorough, ox the
people of Tex na in all measures that wul tend to
restore the btate to its pristine position'among the
States of the American Union. May God preserve
your Excellency many years in health and pros
perity, an instrument* under His guidance, to re?
Sito the Government of our fathers and preserve
e liberties of the people..
BEFLY or Tnr. PR?SIDENT.
The President bri? fly responded. Be thanked
the eommitteo for tbe kind and complimentary
manner, in which their chairman had alluded to
his effort e in restoring the States so lately in re
bellion and insurrection tp their primitive rola-,
tlono with the Government of the United States,
Be waa gratified to learn from them the unani
mity of the people of Texas, who had accepted
the results or tue war. Heexproosed the bone
that the State of Texas, together with all of the
other States so recently in rebellion, would soon
be restored to their normal condition iu tho Fede
ral Government, and that their citizens, whilst
bearing ita burdons, would be admitted Wa full

THIS WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.
Tbo following interesting letter, on tho difficul
ties now existing between Prussia and Austria, wo
tako from tbo Boston Post :
BEnt-rw, April 11.-When you hoard from mo last
tho Austrian noto, disclaiming all hostile inten
tions and calling upon Prussia to demobilize nor
troops, bad Just .been received at thia capital
Since theil,! am eorry to eay, the complications
bave not assumed a moro peaceful aspect, or a
satisfactory conclusion; anti as yet all is doubt
and uncertainty in tho fir uro. All German trans
actions aro, as you know,
I.ONO L1NUE1U.NU,
and in a mattor of war, long preliminaries, con
sisting of orimination and recrimination, assertion
and denial, demands and excusos, consumo a
great deal of time before anything conoluBive
is determined on. I cannot, therefore, toll you
anything decisive, or do moro than give you ovents
and sbort-Bightod proBpoots, which being beforo
you, may ho judged of as well in America - as
here. >
TUB Fnrj&aiAN nri'LT
to tho Austrian noto is sent, and, if anything,
shuts out one more hope for peace. Count Von
Bismarok plumply declines to accede to the Aus
trian demand that the troops shall cease to be
mobilized, on the ground that that sot was ne
cessary to the Prussian defence. In terms which
some aro inclined to call ide?lent, but which no
body can stigmatize as minolng, our' plucky
Premier doclarea that ho considora the Austrian
preparations as already aggressive. It is under
stood, too, that Prussia will' decline to yield to
arbitration of the Federal Diet in the matter at
ieauo, and this is easily understood. It seems a
little remarkable that Austria should propose euch
a oourae; for no power is botter aware of its re
sults than the Empire. Ia it not a world
wide fact, that the Diet would pronounce, ten to
ono, against . Prussia ? Who knows' better
than Francis Joseph' that the petty Gor
man States are clearly on bis side? 'The proba
bility is that lie did nob expect Prussia to submit
to the Diet-but made the proposal to have tho
rooord more, clearly on bia side. Indeed wt> havo
already auch,intelligence from the rest of Germany
as indicate? that the Diet would decline tho propo
sition of Bismarok for reform, and would even call
upon him to discontinue the increase of troops.
So far, Bismarck has held firm to tua course, and
it is bcliovod that bo will not yield the main points
upon which he has hitherto insisted. It is almost
obvious that tho only course King William, who
is really hesitating in tho matter, eau purauo, to
ensure poaco, is to dismiss Bismarck. That I do
not believe he will do. Some believo that the
next thing Austria will do "ill belo demand refer
ence to
TUB BOND.
This will perhaps forco Prussia to an extremity.
If she does not accept the decree of the Confedera
cy, which will assuredly bo against her, ?ho*mum
refuse it, and thus place herself beyond the paie
of association with the tost of Germany. This
certainly would precipitate war. The latter course
would be almost ruinous to her ambition to stand
at the head of a future united nation, for
she would be alienated from ali those powers
whioh it is her. ardent wish ultimately to control.
The whole thing \'wn, then, in the palm of Austria,
if she chooses to take the momentous determina
tion to use ft. But is she prepared to do this?
There are many reasons why Austria had better
avert war if she can. To tako a conrse which
would make it inevitable, ia what she will consider
well before it is taken. A too cordial support of
the minor States might subject her to the jealousy
of France, and in any evont it is not doubted by
any one that Italy will be prepared to strike the
Empire in Venetia the instant an overt act ia com
mitted. Even carrying with her all extra-Prussian
Germany, the issue would be exceedingly doubt
ful. Beames, if the minor States are really against
Prussia, it by no means follows that they are Aus
trian to an extent which will engage their active
assistance against the great representative of con
stitutional polity in central Europe. The
MJIIRMBKUQ HSETINO
the other day gives us a hint that other ideas ani
mate no small portion of the thinking people of
the small States, and that Prussia and Austria
might, after all, have to fight sole alone. At Nu
remberg a large concourse declared that, if the
great powera went to war, the small powers would
be wise to seize the opportunity to erect a Repub
lic. This would effectually checkmate the former,
but instead of making a unit of Germany, it would
be introducing a third great polity which would
hold a sort of balance between the Kingdom and
the Empiro. While
THE SAXON COUBT ,
is certainly for Austria, and perhaps half the in
habitants of Saxony, thero is an intelligent party
at'least who solemnly deprecate a union with that
power/aa tending to the overthrow of Protestant
ism. King John would rather like to seo that, for
he ia himself a Catholic; but it would be a hard
matter at thia late day to turn back enlightened
Saxony into the channel which leads to Rome.
Saxon public sentiment is very mnch worked upon
the subject, yet, should war come, the King will
probably be able to aid Austria with a quota of
10,000 troops or so; and as for Bavaria, sbo is
waiting quietly to take a share, if necessary, in
the. discomfiture of her old Brandenburg enemy.
THE rasE CITIES,
which are Protestant and progressionist, are
very anxious about tho threatened war. They
have repeatedly called upon both the great pow
ers to refrain from hostility, and at Bremen, Frank
fort, and Hamburg, it has been declared that it is
tho duty of Germany to remaiu neutral if they
occur. They will ultimately side with Prussia, if
Prussia continues constitutional; and at all events
would with great ill grace submit to Austria. Lu
beck IB'BO far from everything that she does not
seem to have much concern about the matter.
Wurtemburg, or Saxony, is greatly divided on
the question. The Court partly go with Austria;
there is, however, a strong lib?ral party who
oppose any active movement in lower Germany;
In Prussia itself, the feeling against war is very
strong. If entered into under the present
circumstances it would ho very unpopular.
Hope?, are entertained ?that the orl?is will have
the Bingle good effeat of getting rid of Bis
marck. A very large majority of King
William's subjects are, and have long beou,
in opposition. Their patience has been sorely
tried, by the acta which have shown, for several
years, a despotic tendency on the part of tho
Government. That there is a limit even to Ger
man patience, may possibly bu illustrated ore
long. -To add to the various insults and tyran
nies vrhieh havo transpired, an unnecessary, and
whether suocossf ni or vain, a certainly disastrous
conflict, would be apt to end in nothing less than
the revolutionizing of the kingdom. Wallam runs
au awful risk, therefore, fully as serious as that
of the Emperor. If the war should be a failure. I
would not give sixpence . for tho chance of tho
house of Brandenbarg, As it- now stands, the
peoplo have no chanco to speak in the matter.
There ia, practically, no Parliament. The Cabinet
is simply Herr von Sismaros. If war is declared,
it is forced down the throat of the community.
Such an aggravation might lead to a popular as
sertion o? rights. Even publio meetings cannot
bo hold, at least near Berlin, without a con
straint caused by constant fear of interruption.
At several plaoes, however, remote from the
capital, meetings havo been held within this
kingdom, at whioh resolutions were adopted, so
bold, au well may alarm the king aud his
cabinet At Dusseldorf, Madgebarg, Elborfleld,
Aix-Ia-Ohapello, Langaabnrg, and Delitsoh, these
froe popular expressions have been given, under
circumstances, which already show that there is,
after all, some spirit left in this suffering people.
At the latter town, a series of resolves met the
cononrronce of the meoting, whioh may be taken
as a good reflex of tbtfPrusaian liberals through
oat the kingdom. They deprecated war as an un
mitigated calamity, a?. unjustifiable, and as the
fault of Prussia if ensuing. In confusion, they
declare that) inasmuch as constitutional freedom
has not been respected in Prussia, and as tho Gov
ernment does not .possess the confidence of ita
subject-), it is unfit to carry on Federal reform, or
to take tlje lead in uni Jug Germany under a con
atitatlonM oentro. This is worthy of the days of
Cromwell, but it will be hard for Bismarok to pun
ish meeting* whieh consist of thousands, and to
carry ou? peVaecution within Prussia, aud at the
same time prepare Prussia for war, would be too
great a, task even forjiiu Vary remarkable abilities.

difficult to see how a worse choico fur tin purpose
could have been selected. It seems tim-, as noon
as he entorod tho Austrian frontier, ho began
making vory particular inquiries into military
matters, inquiring as to the most minite move
ments of the Imperial troops. ThR as might

thon of Prague, openly, in tho sight of ?verybody.
Ho waa finally arrested on tho rooort it a waiter

well enough that aa soon as war ia declared, tho
game ia in his owu hands, which over way "tho

A wonn
from him would put an end to all probability of
war; but no mau keeps words with closer firmness
than the historian of Caesar. Everybody here
recognizes tho fact that Napoleou is st this mo
ment, by his position, the arbiter of Germany.
Whilo negotiations aro on foot, and protestations
are being made, preparations aro going on to
meet whatever oxigenoy may arise. Austria is
working to get her finances in better condition
her mala difficulty; and is at the same timo quiet
ly reorganizing her army. Bismarck has the
doublo task of stiffening up tho King's baokbono.
and of strengthening the frontier. Delay, in
Germany, prognosticates nothing; the chances,
as you may judge from my account, stand about
cvon between peace and war.
