VERA CRUZ, August 81, 1847.
| 1ENrIEMEN:z We last evening had an express
from Orizaba. with single despatch under date
of the 25th nstant giving US the important lnfor-
mation that part of the Mexican forces, under
Gen Valencia, had been completely routed by
General Scott, and that column under the I'M
mediate command of Santa Anna fell back upon
the CITY. The action took place at San Angel-a
place some six or eight miles southwest from the
capital-on the 20th inst. -
AS soon as Santa Anna found himself IN COM
narrative state of personal security, ne despatched
a flag to General Scott, requesting suspension OF
hostIiies until time should be afforded for formal
action on the subject of propositions intlmatlng,
at the same time, the readiness OF the government
to receive those brought by Mr.. Trist. The min
lister of foreign affairs also Immediately wrote cir
euIars, published in the Diario O6cial calling an
immediate session of Congress, with the object OF
taking these propositions into consideration.


|. . If the Yankee army had been one of Visigoths,
greater alarm would not have been created by
their approach; and the government nave oeen
driven and whipped, and all parties scared into
the measure that common sense has failed in IN
ducing them to take long ago, without coercion
Il is an excellent sign that the Mexicans value
their ca pal so highly and the best results are 10
be expected from this exhibition OF shade OF real
and becoming pride t@
Whether Gen Scott decided to drive them to
desperation, by advancing at once upon the city,
or to lay upon his arms keeping it at his feet We
have not learned Our next express: which is
anxiousy Unexpected, will tell and hope TO inform
you by the next steamer that joint commissioners
arc en- gagged in arranging terms Of peace. God
grant that their efforts will be early successful,
and am full of hope that such will be the case.
The despatch which contains the intelligence
which now give winds up with this unqualified
declaration: "Peace will positively be The result"


The steamer Fashion starts Immediately for
New Orleans, and if there were any further news
have no time to write it. There is, however:
nothing except some unpleasant intelligence from
Alvarado, to the effect that small party of guer-
ilas had entered the town and cut off two three
out of less than a dozen, of the marines stationed
there as a cusom-house guard. From Campea-
chy we have nothing new.


The health of the city improves daily, but it is
yet very dangerous for strangers 10 come here
Two naval officers, who have been detained here
a few days waiting for a steamer, are very ill
one Of them, in all probability, fatally So l do
not give their names, as it might create unensiness
in their families. Yours, respectfully,


INDICATOR.
