In order lo deprive the Slntesmau of alt excuse for refusing lo correct its gross misrepresentations of the views of Mr, Van Huren, and nl tho sumo time show how utterly irreron-eilenble are its positions and those of the present administration with ihe positions assumed by Mr. Van Huren, we have determined to give the following iuolaliuii from Van Hurcu's letter, furnished in the Statesman of Monday, although thai paper steadily ertisls in its relusal lo publish Ihe quotation (join ihe same letter furnished to its hand, through Ihe Journal, nearly two weeks since. This quotation is relied on to make good the assumptions of Ihu Statesman. Well, let us sec it: 'I slitdl ndd a few words on nuother aspect of the question, nml then dismiss the subject.

Mexico has not made Velruciive" efforts 10 reconquer Texas. The inpumtd ense riled by Mr. Van Huren hus uol occurred. A Congress "chosen ajttr the question of annexation had Iteeu brought Itelorc Ihe country," has not decided in its favor. A Congress rhoirn, without reference to l lint question, and almost Iteforo ihe agitation commenced, took the question, un authorized, in its own hands and decided i.

And, if for a moment wc should say il had tteen linn submitted, the doulilaced advocate of An- xalion, must contend that the Hiruey vote was given in fa vor of Annexation, or they cannot muke nut their case. How then stands the question. We declared (h it Mr. Van Huren was hostile lo annexation, and so declared himself in his letter. Tin- Statesman denied our declaration in Ihe grossest terms as "false" nml " slanderous." Il said "Mexico has no eaui of war," "Mexico can hnvo no good r 11 use of complaint," on account of Annexation. We quoted from Mr. Van llureu s letter to show thai lie maintained just the rerene.

I he details of the condition of many or the offi cers and soldiers at that period, according lo history and the oral tradition, were melancholy In ttie extreme. Possessing no means of patrimonial inheritance to fall back upon thrown out of even the perilous support of tho soldier, at the commencement of winter, and hardly lit for any other than that of tho camp their situation can be as well imagined as described. A sin trie instance, as n sample of the situation of many of the ollicers, as related of the conduct of baron iMouben. may not bo amiss. Wnen the main body of the army was disbanded at Newburg, and the veteran soldiers wero bidding a parting furewcll to each other, Lieutenant Colonel Cochran, an aged soldier of the New Hampshire line, remarked, with tears in his even, as he Bhook hands with the llaroii: f or toy e It, 1 could stand Ity it; but my wile and daughters are in tho garret of that wretched tavern, and 1 have no means of removing them.

When the good old soldier left thctn, their countenances wore wurm with gratitude: for ho left then) ull he had. In ono of iho Rhode Island regiments were several companies of black troops, who had served throughout tho whole war, and their bmvery and disciplmo were unsurpassed. 1 he Huron observed one or these wounded negroes on tho whurl, at Newburg, appa rently in (freut d in tress. V hat's the matter, brother soldier? Why, Mauler ll;troti, I want a dollar to get home with, now Congress has no further use for me. The 11a ron was absent a few moments, and return-ed with a silver dollar which he had borrowed. There, it is all I could get take it Tho negio received it with joy, hailed a sloop which was passing down the river to Vork, and as he reached the decnf took oil" his hat, and said-God bless you, Master Jltron. These aro only single illustrations of tho condition of tho army, at the close of the war. Indeed, Washington had this in view, at the close of his farewell address to the army at Hock Hill, in November, 17cS(. And beini? now to conclude these, his last public orders, to take his ultimate leave in a short time of the military character, and to bid a final adieu to the armies he had so long had tho honor to command, ho could only n train otfer, in their behalf, his com mendations to their country, und his prayer to the Ciod of armies.

The curtain of separation will soon be drawn, and the military scene to him will bo closed lorever: 1 lie closing 01 tins military scene, 1 am aoout to relate : New York had been occ timed by Washington on the &lh nf November. A lew days after, he noti fied tho President of Congress, that body waa then in session, at Annapolis, in Maryland, lh.it iu the war was now closed, he should consider 11 nis duty to proceed thence, and surrender to that body the commission which ho had received from them more than seven years before. he niormnp; ol the 4lh ot ucccmocr, iw, was a sad and heavy one to the remnant of the American army in the city of New Vork. The noon of that day was in witness the farewell of Washington he was to bid adieu to his miltlary comrades lorever. The officers who had been with him in the solemn council, the privates who hod fought and charged in tho licuvy liylit under ins orders, wore to near nis commands no longer tlte manly term and tne dig-in lied countenance of the great captain was hence- lurth to live only in their memories. As Ihe hour ot noon approached, tne whole gam son, at Iho request of Washington himself, was put in motion and inarched down lironu si. 10 rrancir tavern, his head quarters. He wished to take leave of privato soldiers alike with the officers, and bid them all adieu. His favorite liht infantry were drawn upiu a lino facing inwards, through Pearl st. to the loot ol White Hull, wnero a earga was in readiness to convey him to row lea' Hook. Wit Inn the dinmir room of the tavern were sembted tho general a. id field officers to take their fu re well. Assembled there were Knox, Greene, Steuben, Gates. Clinton, and others, who had served with him faithfully a d truly in tho tented field; but alas! where were others who had entered the war with htm seven years before? Their bones crumbled iu the soil from Canada tn Georgia. Montgomery had yielded up his life at Uucbcc, Woostcr at Uanbury, Woodhtill was barbarously murdered whilst a prisoner at tho battle of Lonir Island, Mercer fell mortally wounded at Princeton, tho brave chtvnlric Laurens, after displaying tlte most heroic courage In the tronches of Vorktown, died in a trilling skirmish in South Carolina, the bravo and eccentric Iee was no longer living, and Putnam, like a helpless child waa stretched un a bed of sickness. Indeed, tho battle held and tuno had thinned tho ranks which had en tered with him in the conflict. Washiuuton entered the room tho hour or sepa ration had come. Ar he raised his eye and planced on the faces uf thoso assembled, a tear coursed down his cheek, and his voice was tremulous as he saluted them. Nor waa ho alone men, " AUtcit unused lo iho melting mood," ntood around him, whose uplifted hands tn cover their brows, told that tho tear, whicli titer in vain at tempted to conceal, bespoke the anguish they could not hide. Altera moments conversation, Washington called foraglsHsot wine. It waa brought htm turning to hts ollicers he thus addressed litem- W Uh a heart full of love and gratitude, t now tnko my leave of you. I most devoutly wish your latter days may boas prosperous and happy as your former ones have been fflonous and honorable. Ho then raised his class to his lips, drank, and added, I can not come lu each of you to take my leave, but I shall lie obliged to you, if each of you will taka me by the hand. (en. Knox, who stood nearest, burst Into tears, nnd advanced incapable of utterance Washington grasped hun by the hand, and embraced htm. The officers came up successively and took an affectionate leave. No words wore spoken, but all was the silent eliKiuenco of tears. What wore mere words nt such a scene? Nothing. It was tho feeling of the heart thrilling, though unspoken.

Peter Ihe tUreati OR THE AUDIEKCE Iff THE IIAItf-TOP. The following, as the writer of it nuietlv observe. has "never been recorded in the naval annals of Great Britain." We commend it to the next hie tori nit. In common with almovt every traveller who visits Amsterdam, I have seen the villnieof Saardim.aiid the humble workshop, and lodging-house of "Peter tlte Great," which are still pointed out with manifestations of pride and exultation by the worthy and nospiiauie inuaimains. uut the village is not now as flourishing as it was in the days of the Caar. Holland, which at that time was equal to any nation so a maritime power, has wofully degenerated in this rospect Lnglnnd, France, (Spain. Russia, as well os our own country, are greatly her superiors, and Saardam has declined in population and the enter prise ot the inhabitants, in proportion as Holland has declined as a naval power, But still an interest is attached to the place, which makes it an important object in the eyes of travellers, and there without Doing a melancholy Jaques, one could sit and moralize for hours. But to my story. Peter, while workint? as a car penter or blacksmith at Haardam, did nut endeavor to preserve Ins incognito. It was soon known to every court in Europe that the Czar of Russia waa residing in Holland ; and although the d liferent Eu ropean monarchs were at that time unable to appreciate his character, as manifested by his voluntary labors, and sacrifices of pomp and personal comforts, they respected him aa tho powerful and energetic head of a mighty empire, and most of tho Luropoan monarchs sent to him, with much display and ceremony, ambassadors rendering him their respects, and inviting him to visit their respective courts. William of En eland, however, was dilatorr in thus evincing his respect fur the Czar, much to tho dtssntistuction ot the Russian monarch, who wns particularly desirous of being on the most friendly terms with tho English King. At length, after waiting impatiently for several months, ho learned with much gratification that hinrrWilliamwaeabout to se ud three ambassadors, selected from among tho most distmguinhed noblemen, and attended by a imiiiBtii cortege, lo.an nonor 10 I'eler 01 Kusnio. 1 he Czar, with a spirit of eccentricity which he not unfrequently exhibited, resolved to teach these envoys a lesson which they would not soon forget, and punish them in a whimsical manner for theirtardiness. When tho ambaatodors reached Amsterdam, tlicv were astonished to learn (hot Peter was at Sanrdniu. busily engaged in building a ship, which was nearly iinisneu, anu uiru ne would be delighted to see them at that place. The English noblemen, who expected to be received at Amsterdam with the pomp and ceremony corresponding 10 too character of their mi-moil, were not a little embarrassed by this information, but set off, post haste, for Baardam, Iu find Uio carpenter monarch, and sent an aranf Conner, wim oespaicnes, announcing their intention. J hey reached Saardnm at the appointed hour, but to their great surprise were informed that the Czar was then on board his ship, where ho awaited their arrival, and was impatient to give them an audience. They were also informed that a boat waa in waiting al the ship yard to mil them alongside. The hnp;lith dignitaries hardly knew what to think of llns affair. There were no precedents by which to frame their line of conduct. They were dosiroua, for many reasons, to have an interview with the Czar, aim were great sticklers tor etiquette, yet after a hurried consultation, they determined to flatter the whims ol the barbarian monarch, and visit him on board his ship. A couple of burlcy Dutchmen, in a large ana ciumsy noat, pulled on the ambassadors, and a portion of their suite. They were received at the pa iiir way, by a man dressed in the costume of a sailor, who in a rough manner welcomed them on ooard. wondering at their singular reception, but supposing it a specimen of Russian manners, they inquired for the Czar, and their consternation was actually ludicrous when tho sailor, with a knowing grin, pointed to tho maintop, and assured ihe grave and stately representatives of A)bion,that Pkterbas was aloft, where he expected the pleasure of receiving tho ambassadors of his friend and brother, the King of England ! the ambassadors were stupiued at this arrange ment and gaud Bleach other with despairing looks, wnen ioiu mai me uan 01 annience 01 me nussian monarch was the main-top of a sloop of war 1 They could not conceal their perplexity, and indeed entertained some suspicions that they were the victims of a noox bin when they wero assured that the Czar was actually in the main-ton, and wished and exocc- tud them to climb the rigging and introduce themselves to his presence, llieir hearts failed, their limbs trembled, and they hardly knew whatcourse to adopt. "What!" said the proud and venerable Earl of Tewkabury, " doca lite Czar of Russia expect me to climb up thoso rope-ladders, and play the part of a iiariiM!ini ai mis period 01 my lite !

I he details of the condition of many or the offi cers and soldiers at that period, according lo history and the oral tradition, were melancholy In ttie extreme. Possessing no means of patrimonial inheritance to fall back upon thrown out of even the perilous support of tho soldier, at the commencement of winter, and hardly lit for any other than that of tho camp their situation can be as well imagined as described. A sin trie instance, as n sample of the situation of many of the ollicers, as related of the conduct of baron iMouben. may not bo amiss. Wnen the main body of the army was disbanded at Newburg, and the veteran soldiers wero bidding a parting furewcll to each other, Lieutenant Colonel Cochran, an aged soldier of the New Hampshire line, remarked, with tears in his even, as he Bhook hands with the llaroii: f or toy e It, 1 could stand Ity it; but my wile and daughters are in tho garret of that wretched tavern, and 1 have no means of removing them. Come, come, said tho Huron, doii t iivo way thus. I will pay my respects to Mrs. Cochran anil her daughters. When the good old soldier left thctn, their countenances wore wurm with gratitude: for ho left then) ull he had. In ono of iho Rhode Island regiments were several companies of black troops, who had served throughout tho whole war, and their bmvery and disciplmo were unsurpassed. 1 he Huron observed one or these wounded negroes on tho whurl, at Newburg, appa rently in (freut d in tress. V hat's the matter, brother soldier? Why, Mauler ll;troti, I want a dollar to get home with, now Congress has no further use for me. The 11a ron was absent a few moments, and return-ed with a silver dollar which he had borrowed. There, it is all I could get take it Tho negio received it with joy, hailed a sloop which was passing down the river to Vork, and as he reached the decnf took oil" his hat, and said-God bless you, Master Jltron. These aro only single illustrations of tho condition of tho army, at the close of the war. Indeed, Washington had this in view, at the close of his farewell address to the army at Hock Hill, in November, 17cS(. And beini? now to conclude these, his last public orders, to take his ultimate leave in a short time of the military character, and to bid a final adieu to the armies he had so long had tho honor to command, ho could only n train otfer, in their behalf, his com mendations to their country, und his prayer to the Ciod of armies.

The curtain of separation will soon be drawn, and the military scene to him will bo closed lorever: 1 lie closing 01 tins military scene, 1 am aoout to relate : New York had been occ timed by Washington on the &lh nf November. A lew days after, he noti fied tho President of Congress, that body waa then in session, at Annapolis, in Maryland, lh.it iu the war was now closed, he should consider 11 nis duty to proceed thence, and surrender to that body the commission which ho had received from them more than seven years before. he niormnp; ol the 4lh ot ucccmocr, iw, was a sad and heavy one to the remnant of the American army in the city of New Vork. The noon of that day was in witness the farewell of Washington he was to bid adieu to his miltlary comrades lorever. The officers who had been with him in the solemn council, the privates who hod fought and charged in tho licuvy liylit under ins orders, wore to near nis commands no longer tlte manly term and tne dig-in lied countenance of the great captain was hence- lurth to live only in their memories. As Ihe hour ot noon approached, tne whole gam son, at Iho request of Washington himself, was put in motion and inarched down lironu si. 10 rrancir tavern, his head quarters. He wished to take leave of privato soldiers alike with the officers, and bid them all adieu. His favorite liht infantry were drawn upiu a lino facing inwards, through Pearl st. to the loot ol White Hull, wnero a earga was in readiness to convey him to row lea' Hook. Wit Inn the dinmir room of the tavern were sembted tho general a. id field officers to take their fu re well. Assembled there were Knox, Greene, Steuben, Gates. Clinton, and others, who had served with him faithfully a d truly in tho tented field; but alas! where were others who had entered the war with htm seven years before? Their bones crumbled iu the soil from Canada tn Georgia. Montgomery had yielded up his life at Uucbcc, Woostcr at Uanbury, Woodhtill was barbarously murdered whilst a prisoner at tho battle of Lonir Island, Mercer fell mortally wounded at Princeton, tho brave chtvnlric Laurens, after displaying tlte most heroic courage In the tronches of Vorktown, died in a trilling skirmish in South Carolina, the bravo and eccentric Iee was no longer living, and Putnam, like a helpless child waa stretched un a bed of sickness. Indeed, tho battle held and tuno had thinned tho ranks which had en tered with him in the conflict. Washiuuton entered the room tho hour or sepa ration had come. Ar he raised his eye and planced on the faces uf thoso assembled, a tear coursed down his cheek, and his voice was tremulous as he saluted them. Nor waa ho alone men, " AUtcit unused lo iho melting mood," ntood around him, whose uplifted hands tn cover their brows, told that tho tear, whicli titer in vain at tempted to conceal, bespoke the anguish they could not hide. Altera moments conversation, Washington called foraglsHsot wine. It waa brought htm turning to hts ollicers he thus addressed litem- W Uh a heart full of love and gratitude, t now tnko my leave of you. I most devoutly wish your latter days may boas prosperous and happy as your former ones have been fflonous and honorable.

Knox, who stood nearest, burst Into tears, nnd advanced incapable of utterance Washington grasped hun by the hand, and embraced htm. The officers came up successively and took an affectionate leave. No words wore spoken, but all was the silent eliKiuenco of tears. What wore mere words nt such a scene? Nothing. It was tho feeling of the heart thrilling, though unspoken.

Holland, which at that time was equal to any nation so a maritime power, has wofully degenerated in this rospect Lnglnnd, France, (Spain. Russia, as well os our own country, are greatly her superiors, and Saardam has declined in population and the enter prise ot the inhabitants, in proportion as Holland has declined as a naval power, But still an interest is attached to the place, which makes it an important object in the eyes of travellers, and there without Doing a melancholy Jaques, one could sit and moralize for hours. But to my story. Peter, while workint? as a car penter or blacksmith at Haardam, did nut endeavor to preserve Ins incognito. It was soon known to every court in Europe that the Czar of Russia waa residing in Holland ; and although the d liferent Eu ropean monarchs were at that time unable to appreciate his character, as manifested by his voluntary labors, and sacrifices of pomp and personal comforts, they respected him aa tho powerful and energetic head of a mighty empire, and most of tho Luropoan monarchs sent to him, with much display and ceremony, ambassadors rendering him their respects, and inviting him to visit their respective courts. William of En eland, however, was dilatorr in thus evincing his respect fur the Czar, much to tho dtssntistuction ot the Russian monarch, who wns particularly desirous of being on the most friendly terms with tho English King. At length, after waiting impatiently for several months, ho learned with much gratification that hinrrWilliamwaeabout to se ud three ambassadors, selected from among tho most distmguinhed noblemen, and attended by a imiiiBtii cortege, lo.an nonor 10 I'eler 01 Kusnio. 1 he Czar, with a spirit of eccentricity which he not unfrequently exhibited, resolved to teach these envoys a lesson which they would not soon forget, and punish them in a whimsical manner for theirtardiness. When tho ambaatodors reached Amsterdam, tlicv were astonished to learn (hot Peter was at Sanrdniu. busily engaged in building a ship, which was nearly iinisneu, anu uiru ne would be delighted to see them at that place. The English noblemen, who expected to be received at Amsterdam with the pomp and ceremony corresponding 10 too character of their mi-moil, were not a little embarrassed by this information, but set off, post haste, for Baardam, Iu find Uio carpenter monarch, and sent an aranf Conner, wim oespaicnes, announcing their intention. J hey reached Saardnm at the appointed hour, but to their great surprise were informed that the Czar was then on board his ship, where ho awaited their arrival, and was impatient to give them an audience. They were also informed that a boat waa in waiting al the ship yard to mil them alongside. The hnp;lith dignitaries hardly knew what to think of llns affair. There were no precedents by which to frame their line of conduct. They were dosiroua, for many reasons, to have an interview with the Czar, aim were great sticklers tor etiquette, yet after a hurried consultation, they determined to flatter the whims ol the barbarian monarch, and visit him on board his ship. A couple of burlcy Dutchmen, in a large ana ciumsy noat, pulled on the ambassadors, and a portion of their suite. They were received at the pa iiir way, by a man dressed in the costume of a sailor, who in a rough manner welcomed them on ooard. wondering at their singular reception, but supposing it a specimen of Russian manners, they inquired for the Czar, and their consternation was actually ludicrous when tho sailor, with a knowing grin, pointed to tho maintop, and assured ihe grave and stately representatives of A)bion,that Pkterbas was aloft, where he expected the pleasure of receiving tho ambassadors of his friend and brother, the King of England ! the ambassadors were stupiued at this arrange ment and gaud Bleach other with despairing looks, wnen ioiu mai me uan 01 annience 01 me nussian monarch was the main-top of a sloop of war 1 They could not conceal their perplexity, and indeed entertained some suspicions that they were the victims of a noox bin when they wero assured that the Czar was actually in the main-ton, and wished and exocc- tud them to climb the rigging and introduce themselves to his presence, llieir hearts failed, their limbs trembled, and they hardly knew whatcourse to adopt. "What!" said the proud and venerable Earl of Tewkabury, " doca lite Czar of Russia expect me to climb up thoso rope-ladders, and play the part of a iiariiM!ini ai mis period 01 my lite !

No" said sir Nicholas Granger, with a smce of indignation as w ell as sorrow in his tone, Hthis is a most unreasonable exaction on tho pVl of the Czar.
