General Taylor Supersedcd.- have what
we conceive TO be undoubted authority for sta-
ting, (says the n. Orleans National Of the 24,h
ultmo,) that General Taylor has been super
seded in his command. An express passed
through Matamoros some weeks since. with
the credit OF bearing such news 10 Gen. Tay-
lor; in due course Of time the rumor comes
from Monterey that such is tie fact, and that
General Taylor is hereafter, as a subordinate,
to report TO General Scott, and through him 10
the War Department al Washington. This
last act Of an unhappy Administration, will
seal its fate with the American people. It's con-
duct towards General Taylor, from the com
mencement Of actual hos|i,ies, has been char
acterized by neglect, and not an opportunity
has been permitted to pass, ,ha, could be taken
advantage Of, to annoy and harass him. The
intention has been, to force Gen. Taylor into
some act of indiscreiion that would render him
unpopular before the people, and compel him
10 resign.


So far, the enemies Of the Old Hero have
been disappointed in their expectations, as they
will ever be: but Mr.. Polk has lost his iudg-
ment, and pursued precisely the course Of con-
duct he should TO elevate the man he wished
to destroy. We cannot imagine more total
ignorance Of the feelings that govern the peo-
pie Of this country, than has been shown in
The treatment Gen. Taylor has received from
the Administration. Three times has he saved
il on the battle field, when his defeat would
have involved j, in total ruin, without affecting
his own military fame; and for such vast ser
vices, SO highly appreciated by the nation, he
is without ceremony deprived Of his troops,
and finally has the insult put upon him Of
nominaly independent command. But this
war on General Taylor is all fruitless; for The
old chief submits patiently, and looks 10 "a
higher tribunal than sinking Administration
for his defence.
