It wa onderttooJ that Congre had been summoned to assemble on th?th. The Commissioner named may, b classified as follow : Tornel i a partisan ofParedea; Oarostisea represents the moderate party, and Baranda is creature of Snta Anna. The Suo of Anahuac say that the Commit, aioners represent the view of Santa Anna, and therefore is decidedly ofopinioo that Santa Anna it favorable to peaee. The Atco Iris of the 13th tay the Commit tionert have accepted the appointment and de parted to discharge their dutlee and that this course it approved by the majority of the men of influence, who in a great degree have contri buted to the adoption of this measure.

An American AW. borne by a cition, wa carried near the regimental color. Col. Wright, end the member of the regimental staff, and otheis, preceded the reaiment, and on the road received the man hing salute. At Camp Taylor all wa ready iirtrti-r the wide-spread awning in front of General Taylor's lent were the brave old General and the members of hi staff, and the officers attached to the forces sta tioned at camp. On the right or the awning the soldieis of Major Eragg's light aitilh ry were drawn up in line, no the left the second dragoons, and in front the Massachusetts regiment. As soon a the latter bad formed into line, Gen Cuhing made hi appearance and G.-neral Tay lor and hit officer all rote. Gen. Cushing then proceeded to address him, a follow : CenrriJ The veteran officer And soldiers whom you have eo many timet led on to victory and to fame; those yet untried in the field, who ardently long for the day when your voice shall bid them also, tread triumphantly in the tame noble path of honor and nf duly and othera of your fellow cititena present, who, though not railed to fight lb.' battles of the country, are not the less animated with the tame devoted love to wards her which we feel have desired on tbia anniversary of our f-paia'e existence a sove reign peop'e. to prtent their respectful saluta tions to you, at an official representative here of the power and authority of the United States Men who have but superficially studied the history ot the United State art accustomed to peak of this day at the anniverai j of our eman cipation from bondage, and vague idea of, that vaguest of all things, called liberty, are attached to the very name of national independence. But the people of the United Statea were never in a state of bondage.' The war of the revolution was not a war for liberty. On th contrary, it was but a struggle in armt to determine whether tbe two great subdivisions of tbe British race. on inhabiting Europe and the ' other inhabiting America, and both equally free, should continue to constitute -a tingle empire, or- whether thry thonld be reconstituted tenarately into two in dependent empiret The God of Battle decided that we, the American Colonies, were as com pctent for independent eelf-fovernsnent at the mother country : and England, with that practi cal good ttnte which distinguished her from other list ions, manfully acquiesced in the deci sion which split her power asunder, and gave to us separate dominiott in America. And the mysterious order of Providence seems to have predesigned the American to sin pats th Furopetn subdivision of the original empire, for. of that high niinded, bold hearted and stinng. handed British race, which, wheresoever it ap pears, but to command the moie numerous part will ere long be found in America; and tbe Uri tith Islet have already reached that fatal term in tb history of nation when their nut.ve land ran no longer f--ed it km ; while the people of the United Slates are still eanending with a ra pidity and strength uf possession which'drAes I csl.-iil.ition, over the tiih virgin toil of the New World.

Gen. Ttylor who htd listened with great at tention to the remarkt ot Gen.

A general shaking- of hands and congratulations here took place for tome moments, after which Cel. Wright, of the Matsachnaetta volunteer, by invitttion, retdthe Derltntion of Independ ence. The company then partook, ol a substan tial lunch provided by the hospital commander, who hsd a smile and a leaant word for all, and seemed happy in beiug able to make others so. He wat dressed in undres uniform, and looked a I. tile lets like the plain, unaffected country gen tlemsn a very little than 1 have yet seen bitn. At 12 o'clock, while the company were yet at ramp a national salute wat fired by Bragg'e bat- tery; and before tht sound of the last gun bad ; died away, the booming of cannon from the black ' fort teemed to echo back the salute. i About three 'clock Gen. Taylor and tttff. j with a. Mcort ol dra,oo,rt. came into town, and j with Gen. Cashing and the efficere of the Missa- chutetts Regiment, proceeded to At itta't garden , , . , . , . . . . , or ArNta'a house, should say, where a table I w. spread in the broad corridor, opening into theg.rden. with ita bright green thrnbt. itt erimton rose bushet covered with fitgiant flow, i ert, itt well kept walkt, mid the gurgling ttretm that meanders throng it. The smell of the bright gem of ntture't handiwork were not more pleas ing than the odor which arote from the ttvory viands prepared for immediate comtumptlon. Every one wit surprised at the profusion of the rood things and the variety that was ptaced upon the table, all owing to the exertions of Capt. j Glover, a mrchant resid ng hre for some yeais, one of the committee of arrangements. who'e peculiar province it waa to tee that no thing thould be wanting. He performed hit duty to perfection. Claret, Madeira and Champaigne in abundance aerved to give test to the repatt. and aid in the tenemental evpretaion of feeling. When the substantials had been discussed and removed. Geo. Curbing, who presided at the head of tbe table, with Gen. Taylor on his right, arose and after some remarks complimentary to the committee-of arrangement! for the faithful man ner in which they htd cared for their guettt, proceeded to announce the regular toastt. Lieut Fuller, of the Massachusetts Volunteers, gave: Get Taylor We hail him as th next presi dent ; mav his civil beat brilliant at bit milita ry career.
