News by Yesterday’s Mail,

CITY OF MEXICO IN THE P y - CANS—-ANOTHER DECISIVE VICTOR! Y x er PEACE DECLARATIONS. (From the N. O. Commercial TimesySept. 3.)

_ Barrie or San Ancet.—The intelligence brought by the Fashion is of the most pleasing, as it is of the most important nature, since it announces another vic- tory that has crowned the American arms—a victory that will, inall probability, be most blessed in its results, bringing about a peace between the two republics. It appears that the march of our army under General Scott trom Puebla to within eight or nine miles of the capital, was uninterrupted by any resistance on the part of the enemy. At El Penon—a position fortified by Santa Anna-—-the hostile forces first came into collision, where, according to El Sol de Anahuac, a division of the Ame- rican army made an onset on the enemy, the main body passing through Guadaloupe, and to the surprise of the fexicans, appearing suddenly in their rear,

A regular fight then ensued at a place called San Angel, situated about six or eight miles southwest of the capitol; the result of which was that General Va- Jencia’s division of the Mexican army was totally routed, when Santa Anna fell back with the remainder of his troops on the city. Here the greatest consternation prevailed, and, as the only means to Stop the victorious career of the American arms, it was decided to solicit from General Scott a suspension of arms. A flag of truce was despatched to the American head quarters for this purpose, with the view of giving time for the open- ing of negotiations for the renewal of pacific relations, The Mexican government intimated to General Scott that it was ready to treat for peace on the propositions brought by Mr. Trist. Thus, at the eleventh hour, has the stubbornness of our hitherto intractable neighbour given way, and the best hopes may be entertained that we are on the eve of sheathing the sword, a consumma- tion heartily to be desired by every friend of humanity.

The American commander-in-chief at once acceded to the request of the Mexican government, and a truce | was declared. The city of Mexico, we learn, is abso- lutely at our mercy, being surrounded by our army. General Worth, at the head of his division, is in the rear of the capital, having it in his power to cut off all the supplies from that quarter. The decisive action at San Angel, where Valencia’s troops were put to flight, took place on the 20th ult. Of course, we know nothing of the details, nor of the loss sustained in the two conflicts by the two armies. The express which brought the in- telligence to Vera Cruz came by the way of Orizaba. The despatch concludes with these remarkable words: —“ Peace will positively be the result.”

(From the Boston Daily Mail.)

Further confirmation of the Battlese—Mericans, 32,000 Strong—American Force engaged, 7,000—Loss of the Enemy, 5,000— Loss of the Americans, about 1,000. Wasuinoton, Sept. 14.—Despatches for government

have heen received. The intellignnce heretofore re- ceived is fully confirmed. On the 20th ult., the Ame- rican forces, 7000 men, met the enemy at Charbasco, three or four miles from the capital. The Mexicans were 32,000 strong, posted behind immense batteries of artillery.

After two hours’ conflict, our troops swept every thing before them at the point of the bayonet. The Ameri- can loss was less than 1000. Mexican loss estima- ted at 5000. The armistice was agreed upon by five Commissioners appointed on the Mexican side, at the head of whom was Gen. Herrera. The Commis- sioners had two meetings, and were to hold a third meeting on the 30th.

Gen. Valencia escaped with two companions to T'a- Juco, and has pronounced against Santa Anna and peace. There is still another express at Washington confirming the Mexican news.
