PAMS, May 5.-The Memorial Diploma? tique denies that Franco has made ener? getic retnonstraces to Vienna relative to tho Austrian armaments in Venetia. It nays that thc despatch siuit to Vienna on tho subject was couch od in tho most cour? teous terms, and solely requested confi? dential explanation? respecting the object of tho Austrian preparations. Tho Aus? trian Government replied, protesting that it would maint ain a etrictly defensive atti? tude. France accepted these explanations, and tho result was a mutual understand? ing; according to which, Austria under? takes that, should Italy attack Venetia in? dependently of Franco, Austria will not se? cure for hersolf the eventual results of victory without tho diplomatic interven? tion of France. It is asserted that one object of Austria in menacing Prussia and Italy is to force England to assent to tho convention of an Europcau congrems. LONDON, May 0.-Prussia h&sdoalared to tho Diet that the warlike relations ?rn her part arc entirely defensive. Tho Aus? trian reply to tho last Prussian note was [Conciliatory, but declines to disarm under present circumstances. Warlike prepara? tion? in Venetia were being pushed forward with great energy. It is rumored that Venetia will immediately be placed ill a state of siege. Reception of Head-Centre Stephen*. NEW YOBK, May 15. - James Stephens re? ceived an enthusiastic ovation from tho Fenian Brotherhood, at Jones' Wood, to? day. About 6,000 were present, but none of the Roberts men were in attendance. Stephens made a forcible address, giving the history of tho Fenian movement. He said."ho Rad received but little money from thi8 country, and the heart-burnings and scandals hore were such as could only be compensated by Irish liberation. They only wanted money. Ireland had dono ten*times as much as America in that way. If Great Britain had become engaged in the Danish war, it was their purpose to havo then taken arms. After . Stephens' address, Lieutenant Colonel Downey addressed tho Ninety ninth Regiment, drawn up in front of thc platform, reflecting severely on tho order of General Sandford, countermanding the order for the parado of thc regiment, as an encroachment upon tho privileges of com? mandants of regiments of the National Guard. Menage from the President. VETO OK TUE BOX AUMITTINU COLORADO Ai M A STATE. To ?i(Ap?nate of the United States: i 1 return to thu Sonate, in which it origi? nated, tho bill which has passed'bott houses of Congress, entitlod "An Act-foi thu admission of thc State of Colorad? " into the Union, with my objections to it? becoming a law at this time. First. From the best information whicl I haw; been able to obtain, I'do not con sider the establishment of a Stajo Govern? ment at present necessary for the wftlfan of the people of Colorado. Under thc ex isting Territorial Government, all fin rights, privileges and interests of tho citi zens are protected and secured. Tho qua lilied voters choose their own legislator! and their own local officers, and are repre sented in Congress by a delegate of theil own selection. They make and execute their own municipal "laws, subject only tc revision of Congress--an authority no likely to bo exercised unless in extreme o: extraordinary cases. Thc population i: small, some estimating it sn low as 25,000 , while advocates of the bill reckon the num ber at/nun :i?,(KK> to 40,000 souls. Tin people arc principally recent settler." many of whom arc understood to bo read; for removal to other mining districts be : the"limits of thc Territory, if circum stances shall render them more inviting Such a population cannot but find rebe from excessive taxation if the territoria system, which devolves the expense of th executive, legislative and judicial depart menta upon tho United States, is for th present continued. They cannot but fin the security of person and prop rtv in . creased by their reliance upon the nations ?x?v.-utive power for thc maintenance < law and order against the disturbances n< ccssarily incident to all newly organize communities. Second. It is not satisfactorily establishe that a majority of thc citizens of Colorad ' desire or arc prepared for an exchange c . a Territorial for a State Government. I September, 1804, under the authority < Congress, an election was lawfully appoin ed and held for thc purpose of ascertainin the views of thc ]>eople upon that partici lar question. 6,192 votes were cast, and < this number a majority of 3,152 was give against tho proposed change. In Septen ber, 18G5, without any legal authority, tl question was again presented to the pei pie ?if the Territory, with tho view of ol tabling a reconsideration ot the result i the election held in compliance with tl Act of Congress approved March 21, Iso At this second election, 5,005 votes we: polled, and a majority of 155 was given favor ol State organiza, ion. It docs n> seem ti me entirely safo to receive th last-mentioned result, so irregularly ol tamed, tas sufficient to outweigh the oi ' which l(iad been legally obtained in tho fir election. Regularity and conformity law are essential to the preservation order jan d stable government, and sln.nl as fay as practicable, always bc observed ilie formation of new States. 'fiord. The admission of Colorado at th time as a State into the Federal Union oj pears to me to he incompatible with tl public interests of the country. While is desired that territories sufficiently m tared should be organized as States, y the spirit of the Constitution seems to r quire that there should bc an approxim tion towards equality among tbe sever Siaii-s comprising thc Union. No State c? have more than two Senators in Coa-gres the larg "st State bas a population of fi, million.-., several of Un- States have a (io ttlation exceeding two millions, and mai others have a population exceeding o milln ..i. A population of 127,OU(l is the ratio of a pirtioiinient ot representatives among t social Slate-. If this bill should bocoi a law, the people of Colorado, 30,000 Uttnbeijr/wonld have m the Houfee of Re roientatives one member, while New Yoi with a population of 4,000,000, has h thirty-one. Colorado would have in t electoral college three votes, while Ni ?or; has only thirty-three. Colorado wot havj iM the* Senate two votes, while Nt """'k has no more. Inequalities of th chaaacter have already occurred, but it believed that none have happened win Mn inequality was so gn at. When sn uieiftafity bas been allowed, Congress suppled to have permitted it on t ground ol' some high public necessity, a nnderciicumstances which promised th it wdlkl rapidly disappear through t grow? and development of tho newlv-j initiedstate. Thus, in regard to theseVci States in what was formerly called t V, . '"'T-1 Territory," lying Fast of t Missis?.p^i5 their rapid advancement populate rendered it certain that stat admitted .with only ono or two representa? tives in Congress would in a very short pc- | riod bo entitled to a groat increase of rep? resentation. So, when California was ad? mitted ' on the ground of commercial and political exigencies, it was well foreseen | that that State was destiued rapidly to be? come a groat prospewus raining and com? mercial community, "iii tho case of Colo? rado, I am not aware that any rational ? exigency, either of apolitical or commercial nature, requires a departure from the law of equality, which has been so generally adhered to in our history. If information submitted in connection with this bill is reliable, tColorado, instead of increasing, j has declined in population. At an election for members of a Territorial Legislature, held in 1801, 10,580 votes were cast. At tho election' before mentioned, in 1864, the number of votes cast was 0,102; while at tho irregular election hold in 1865, which is assumed as a basis for legislative action at this time, the aggregate of votes was 5,905. Sincerely anxious for the prosperity and welfare of every Territory and State, as well as for the prosperity and welfare of the whole Union, I regret this apparent decline of population in Colorado; but it is manifest that it is due to emigration, which is goin " out from that Territory into other regi. within tho United States, which either are in fact, or are believed by the inhabitants of Colorado to bc, richer in mi? neral wealth and agricultural resources. If. however, Colorado has not really de? clined in population, another census or an? other election under the authority of Con? gress would place the question beyond doubt, and cause but little delay in the ul? timate admission of, the Territory as a State, if desired by trw- people. Thc tenor of these objections furnishes the reply which may bo expected to an argument in favor of tho measure, derived from tho en? abling act which was passed by Congress on tho 21st day of March, 1801." Although Congress then supposed that the condition of the Territory was such ns to warrant its admission as a State, the result of two years' experience, shows that every reason which existed tor the institution of a Ter? ritorial instead of a State Government in Colorado at its first organization still con? tinues in force. Tho condition of the Union at thc pre? sent moment is calculated to inspire cau? tion in regard to the admission of new States. Keven of the old States have been for sonic time, and still remain, unrepre? sented in Congress. It is a common inter? est of all the States, as well those repre? sented as those unrepresented, that the integrity and harmony of the Union should be restored as completely as possible, sc that all those who are expected to boar the burthens of thc Federal Government shall be consulted concerning the admission ot new States, an i that in the meantime ru. new State shall bo prematurely and unne? cessarily admitted to a participation in tb? political" power which thc Federal Govern? ment wields- not for thc benefit of any in? dividual State or section, but for the com? mon safetv, welfare and happiness of thu Whoto ooii?tr .

We present below a letter from the Washington correspondent of the London Times, which will be highly interesting, ns embodying moro ftdly than anything wo have yet seen the views of the President. It is to be noted that the President knew he was conversing with the correspondent of the Times, and that tho latter had his ftdl permission to publish what tho Presidentjeaid. Wo have the com? ments of the London Times on this letter, which we will publish to-mor row: WASHINGTON, April 10, 1866. Tn tho perplexed and uncertain state into which public affairs have fallen, it is impossible for mc to send you any information more important or valuable than tho particulars of un interview which I bad with President Johnson, at the "White House, on Thursday last. Tho President's opinions, especially with reference to the freedmen, have been so wilfully misrepresented in the radical press of this country, and his gem ral policy towards the Southern States has been exposed to so much unjustifiable per? version, that Mr. Johnson s own ex? planations on both these subjects may have some weight even with those who are most embittered against him. Tho President first adverted lo the condition in which be found thc country on his accession to office, and pointed out ever since that time tin radical party, which now has the con? trol over Congress, had been prepar? ing for the issue forced upon bini. Their object was manifest, and it wa! ono which, from their point of view, they could scarcely be blamed for pur? suing so eagerly. They knew per fectly well that when the South cann back into Congress, their day <> i power would be over-the Southen Representatives would stand as : unit; they would probably full int< \ alliance again with the Denioerati . party, the old issues of slavery an? - State sovereignty would be dead an< . buried, and the party which no\ \ ruled would be stripped of its power Their talk about philauthrophy am benevolence to the negro mean : nothing more than a desire to wor upon thc feelings of the North, s that they might be enabled to carr L everything their own way. It was i sencwal of an old conflict. The tw " sections of tho country were ready t ; go to war before thc rebellion brok , oyt -the one to preserve slavery, th ? other'to destroy it. Each side wf 1 willing to sacrifice the Government i ; order to gain its object. Thc Sont > struck first. The rebellion was Mil ; dued at tho Southern end of the lim ' and now it is swinging lound to tl. ' other end. "These men," continue ' the President and lie always use 1 these words to denote tile radie; ' party -"are almost ready to go int ' reMillion again, rather than havo'trle . supremacy destroyed by the re-intr . duction of tin; South. They Uno nothing practically of the real sta ' the South. The very man who lu drawn up the civil rights bill, wh r, are his means of judging? 1 left hi in the Senate during the war, ai .1 went, out to Tennessee and saw it al _ an<Ui>ore my share of the trouble 9 He stopped at home, and now e deavors to make his theories si pia into the events of the war. and legi late on ideas which he has nevi r p to the test." Tho President then went un speak of slavery and the negro. I 2 bad been brought up, he said, und il the very shadow of the institution h slavery. He had bought and own '. slaves, but still he had always lie _ for abolishing slavery upon tiny ba 7, i which could be adopted witt', sah i: j to 'lie country. When it carno *. tho question whether slavery shin "j bo abolished or tin? Governnu j broken up. he never had a doubt il t to tile course which lu: ought to pi ?'. j sue; ho (lecided to give np slave " i and he abided by that decision. 1 s' I the South now would treat the ne; .d I with greater kindness than the Nu ?6 if it were let alone and not exasp lated. "They talk of justice to t f. I negro;'* continued tho Preside I "God knows my heart yearn - towi - ? him when 1 think of thc end wh I these men are preparing fer bini. >y i see that end clearly em.ugh tiny '"{ going tho way l'or a conflict ol' rm l) I When that occurs, we all know li it will fare with the negro. How v._ ? such a contest always ended ? WI [j the time conies, there will be d j struggle. The result will bo deci. "" without that. Now. then, what we find? The very thing which ?a said these Southern States co >n j never do which we fought these f e I years to prevent them doing tl [,J I mon ailinn that they have aetu ; done namely, been out of the I n io The Southern States are ready , | j come back upon our terms, take I. t|0 oaths, and acknowledge their all ? lance, but these men say tlioN s ^ ! not. Why, if they bad offered j come back, or any of them, dui I the rebellion, should we have tar ?v' ? them away on the. ground that 1 ''" j bud placed themselves out nf ''. Union? Mr. Lincoln offered te .; eeive tho whole Legislature of li mond a rebel legislature andvi have welcomed them with open ai Would he have refused to rec l,c these States now that they have I itv submitted?" m ; The President, next referred to i misrepresentations of his p< which have been so industrie spread abroad. "Theso men" had for months past had the public mind open th them, and had poured into it .whatever they pleased. Now it had become inerusted, as it were; but once lot that incrustation bo broken through, and the truth would begin to lind its way. "T am not discou? raged," added the President; "either these States must be brought back or they must be iccpt out. lt is Like doing a sum in addition some sums want figuring up more than others before you can get the answer, but I believe it will all come out right in tho end." "Mr. Johnson then enlarged with considerable detail upon the opera? tions of the Freedmen's Bureau, and said its machinery was now being used to get negroes conveyed from tho North bael, to tho South by the very men who were asserting that tho lives of the freedmen were not safe in the South. 'They bad hired <>r. bought lands, they wanted labor, ami they got their negroes transported at the expense of the Go\ eminent. The Freedmen's Bureau compelled the negroes to go, or they stopped their subsistence allowance, lt was lil tie better than another form of slavery, only that it was solely conducted by tin; Abolitionists: for the Freedmen's Bureau would not assist a Southern man in getting uegroes from th? North, where many thousands ot them have taken refuge during tin war. A gentleman from Fuuipiiei Comity, Virginia, bad been to him. the President said, only a few day.? ago, saying that, ho bad sent 'IOU ne groes to thc District (ot C'ohnnbiu for security ?luring tin; war. Ho HOM wilded to hire them, but tho Freed men's Bureau interposed obstacles uu?l would give him no help in trans porting them; whereas the Govern nient railroads were placed u.1 tin service of other speculators. In al thal bc said, it was evident that tin I President approved some plan fo ! protecting the negro and giving bin succor; but that he considered tin administration of thc Freedmen' Bureau was not all that could be de sired, lt did not accomplish thetrut object for which it was founded. Passing this subject, the Presiden said that thc radical party in Cou gross talked to the people as if the; had to fear some act of oppression ot tko part of the Executive, becaus the civil rights bill hail been vetoed "But tho vet., power." be said "could never be ?nade an engine o oppression, lt has only a negativ force it originates nothing. lt cai . only say, when it sees unwise or un constitutional legislation attempted i "Now, stop; consider this thing j little further: pass the bill, if yo ? will, by your constitutional two third majority: but 1 think it well to gi\ yon an opportunity to think over i ? again." They have passed the civ . j rights bill, and it will not be long Ix i i fore a judge ls arrested for carryiu II out the laws of his State. Then t'n . ease will be brought to thc Stiprem . I Com:, and the people will s.i se ? I which was rightV-Congress insistin ? I upon having it. or I in endeavorin ? to dissuade them from it."' Her? I again, the President distinguishe t between tile principle on which th i j bill is professedly based and the bi i itself. The former he was anxious t , j see earneil ont. but the HUMUS pr? . j posed he considered nbjectionabl - i an?l hazardous. ii "Congress," tho President fnrth? -jEsuid. ..re] i resell ts tie-States, butti t J nieii who ?/oted for them individual! : all voted in my election.

It will take time: but, after all, what good can be accomplished without trial and difficulty? !f i tai!, my regret will not be for myself. 1 will hope that some one wiser will rise up to do the work." The President uttered I these words in a somewhat weary ?md sad, but very earnest tone. He con? tinued with greater animation : "My convictions are linn and strong, ?iud strong convictions ?ire u groat source --the best source -of courage to a mau. I have fought disunion nearjy all around the circle, aud if I ?un called upon to complete the circle, I will. Then I could say most hear? tily that I w ould that I could depart in peace." Snell, so far as I feel myself at I liberty to repeat them, were the re I marks made by the President. I be ? lieve that I have repeated his very ! words in most instances; but there I were many illustrations which Iii' em j ployed which I am unable to recall, aud iu a conversation of nearly two : hours, there must, necessarily IK? a great deal which I cannot pretend to ] remember with sufficient accuracy to j repeat.
