 By invitation of Gen. Ampudia, comman- ding the Mexican army, Gen.

The par ties being convened, Gen. Ampudia announ- ced, as official information, thai commission CTS from the United States had been received by the government of Mexico; and that the orders under which he had prepared to de- iend the city of Monterey, had lost their force by the subsequent change of his own government, therefore he asked the confer ence. 4 brief conversation between the commanding generals, showed their views to be so opposite, as to leave little reason to expect an amieable arrangement between them.
 Gen. Taylor said he would not delay to receive such propositions as Gen Ampudia indicated. One of Gen. Ampudia's party, i think, the governor Of the city, suggested the appointment of m,<ei commission thi: was acceded 10, and Gen. W. J. Worth, o the United States Army, Gen. J.

The whigs, combined with .inail party of democrats, headed by John C. Gal houn, that most cratic oi all political lights, per pstrated this upon the liberty of the press and the rights of an editor. We are glad to announce that the Senators from our State voted against it. and that Col. SeyieE, in the few remarks we have seen. boldly maintained hs position. Wehave met with no paper that does pot condemn it. We have heard speak of that does not call it out rage. an ebuiii,ion of personal spite entirely n- worthy Of the diysity of such body. It has been properly said that this ia not the first Senate which 'sdissraced man into popular fasor," and have but little doubt that the case of alr. Ritchie will further illustrate it.

A LATE MESSAGE PROM THE PRESIDENT, sent to Congress on the l4.h February, con iains matter of much importance, which we shall endeayor to condense for ihe benefit of our readers, no. being able to publish il en- tire. An honorable peace has been rendered to Mexico. while nothing was abated so far ss vigoroas prosecution of the war was concerned The system adopted by the go- vernment as..heen to advance with thc sword and scales Of justice in one hand, and the olive branch in the other, and upon this point no indecisiou or inactivity has been permit- ted. Ten regiments will be raised, and or- dered to the seat of war without delay, and . law Is required, giving authority to the President, to make appointments of Major Generals and Brigadier-G Generals, with the sanction of the Senate the present num- Der of such officers not being more than the service demands.
 1t is recommended that law. authorizing the re-engsgement of volunteers at the ex- piration of their term of service, as the best volunteer force Tor rprnseculiDg lhe campaign, should their services be required. Hav- ing become acci;maiet, and experienced, Us troops, their services would be greatly pre- ferable to any new corps When volunieers were received no provision was made for filling vacancies in the several regiments. and there was now more than one hundred va csncies among the field officers, for, although in some instances, appointed by State authori- ties, few have been filled. IL is, also, pro- posed, that when company officers die, or become un6, for service, that provision be made for filling their places.
 To maintain the public honor and credit of tho rountry, ii is recommended that duty bs levied upon sugar and coffee. as very moderate one would produce revenue ui two and half millions annually, to be im- posed only until the war is over. For the purpose of increasing the revenue half mil lion more, graduation in the price of pub lie lands, is again suggested, as such rsve- me would greatly facilitate the negotiation, should u become necessary, of the loans au- thorized by Congress.
