The Government have received letters from
Mr. TRIsT and from officers OF the army at Mexico
- the 2sth ultimo These letters were brought by
The English courier to Vera Cruz, and from New
Orleans were forwarded by express 10 Montgomery,
Alabama, and thence came by the regular mali.
They confirm the previous advices OF events up to
Gen. ScoTT's arrival before the walls OF Mexico,
The suspension of hostlites &C. but are fall OF m
,erest from the accounts which they give of the bat
lies which had been fought.


We learn, generally, that the last battle (indeed
the only one Of consequence after Gen. SCOTT lett
Puebla) was the hardest fought and the boodlest
which has taken place in all this sangulnary war.
II commenced on the 10th continued till night;
and was resumed in the morning. NALENcAs
division was finally vanquished in the morning,
with the loss of all his artillery, seven hundred kill
ed and wounded, and three thousand prisoners. The
division under SANTA ANNA, consisting Of between
twenty and thirty thousand men, of his own troops
and the lew en- n,asSe of the city of Mexico, was
engaged by Eve thousand men under the brave Gen.
WORTH, who, after an obstinate battle OF long du-
ration, large part of il bayonet TO bayonet, finally
achieved complete victory over the immense
Mexican host, which broke and fled, some into the
city, and large bodies elsewhere. The Mexican
loss in this desperate afternoon battle five thou
sand killed and wounded; and our loss was, we
grieye to say, above one thousand men.


The Mexican army was well supplied with ar
tllery and strongly posted, but it was all captured
Neither their artillery, their numbers, their des
perate resistance could Withstand the valor of our
troops directed by the able and skilful dispositions
of the brave and veteran SCoTT, whose name is
associated with SO many well-lought fields in the
annals of our country.


After the Mexican commanders had taken refuge
in the city, they sued for suspension of hostilies,
as heretofore stated, and proposed negotiation.
Gen. SeoTT acceded to the proposition, and ap-
pointed Generals QUITMAN, PERsHER SMITH, and
PIERCE Commissioners 10 conduct the negotiations
on our part. The Mexican Generals also appoint
ed Commission, with Ex-President HERRERA at
lis head and the Commissioners were TO meet on
The 3Oth to open the important business confded
10 them. i


Gen ScoTT's army remained encamped outside
Of the city.


All the particulars that have come to hand will
