Day arrived at New Orleans on the 25th ult., with the most important int+lligence yet received from the seat of war. We extract fromthe New Orleans Picayune of the 26th ult., received by the overland express for the New York Herald, the following particu- lars:— The Arco Iris of Vera Cruz, had received let ters from Mexico, under date of the 9th, stating that on the 7th the Mexican commissioners de- clared that the propositions made by Mr. Tris, were inadmissible; in consequence of which General Santa Anna convoked a council of gene- rals, who decided that notice should be given to General Scott that the armistice was at an end, and appointed the 9th for the recommence- ment of hostilities. Onthe 6th of September, General Scott ad- dressed a letter to Santa Anna from. Tacubaya, accusing him of having violated several articler ot the ermistice, one of which was that not al- lowing the American army to obtuin supplies from the city of Mexico. General Scott de- manded an explanation, and concludes as fol- lows :— * # © © © J hereby formally notify you, that if I 4> not recelve the most complete satisfaction on all there points, before twelve o’olock to-morrow, I shall consider the armistice as terminated from that hour. To thie letter General Santa Anna replied at considerable length, and with great severity. He accused General Scott of having violated the terms of the armistice in refusing to allow flour, from the mills in the vicinity, to be brought in- to the city, and says that the American wagons were driven out of the city on account of the objectionable conduct of the officers accompany- ing them. Santa Anna alto charges General Scott with having sacked the Mexican towns in the vicinity of the capital, and robbed and desecrat- ed the churches, and stealing and destroying ar- ticles held sacred by every Mexican. He con- eludes as follows :— I fatter myself that your excellency will be convinced, on calm reflection, on the weight of my reasons, but if by misfortane you should seek only a pretext to deprive the first olty of the American Continent of an opportu- nity to free the unarmed population of the horrors of war, there will be left me no other means of salvation but tc repel foroe by force, with the decision and energy which my high obligations impose upon me. On the 7th, General Herrera, es Commandant of the city of Mexico, addressed the clergy, ex- horting them to exert all their influence to incite | the people to arm themselves, and prepare to re- rist the American army. On the 8th, General Scott attacked the Mill del Rey or King’s Mill, in the immediate vici- nity of Chapoltepec, and, according to the Dia- | rio del Gobierno, and the Boletin, published at At- | isco, near Puebla, our army was repulsed, after | a short conflict, in which we lost abeut four hun- dred in killed, and from six to seven hundred in wounded, and fell back upon Tacubaya. ‘The account given by the Boletin, represents the battle to have been the most bloody and se- | verely contested of the whole war. This, how- | ever, is a Mexican account, it concludes as fol- lowe:— At 11 o'clock the enemy commenced a retrogade move ment, and by 2 o'clock inthe afternoon he withdrew all | his forces to Tacubays, abandoned the two points he had occupied, and blew np the house of Mate, although eame soy 2-0 |abCD fire byatemd trem Chapel 1t tg Believed that Genstals Twiggs and Pierce direct- od the attack, and that they put In motion about 9,000. men. It ls cortain that the fre was more tatense and brisk than.at Churubusco, ~ q It fp impossible to. ascertain the lots of either side Ours does not amount to 100 killed and 250 wounded. _ There are «few miasing—nearly all not killed or wounded, retiring to Chapoltepec. ‘The enemy, tceording to the eonfession of an igi man, who came over to usin the evening, carried off 10 or 700 wounded. | bye ant lament the loss of Gen.

Mateos of Puebla. | Geleati, and of the deters! | "| Mexican lotter announces that Riley and his legion | of St. Patrick, 70 in number, were ordered by the court martial to be hung. The sentence was approved by Gon, Scott, and on the Sth of Sept. the whole legion wore hung in presence of thearmy; as also of the enemy, ‘The Diario del Gobierno eays “at half past 4 o’clook in the morning, the Americans attacked the position of the mill of El Rey, close to the fortress of Chapul- tepece. Their numerous and brave columns, were however, repulsed three times by valiant soldiers, who this day gave brilliant proofs of their patriotism ead bravery; more than a thevaand of the gnemy re- maived on the field of battle. and on our side the lors has been less then one half that number, having to ls- ment the death of the gallant Col. John Lucas, Baldras and General Don Antonio De Leon, being wounded, together with several other alstinguished obiefs and offi- cers. The traitor Sants Anns'commanded in per- son the column which forced the Americans to re treat ; taking with them, without doubt, the conviction that this only brought rivers of blood—that they cannot penetrate the city of Mexico, and that at all events they will there find their sepulobre.”” We translate the sutj»ined letter from Jalapa to the Arco Iris, without vouching for its correctness:—‘' When Gen. Peres abandoned the mill El Ray, s bomb dischar, ed from Chapoltetec, fell among the ammunition wagons of the enemy. io the yard of the mill, causing four of them to explode. by which 300 Americans are sald to have been blown up, including Gen. Worth, who accord ing to the accounts had not been seen or heard from, the folowing day at Tacubsaya.”” The next accounts we have from the capital, come in @ letter to the irco Iris, dated the 10th inst., of which the following is an extraot:— The Mexican government has taken three hundred thousand dollars, which were being sent by a commercial house to the enemy’s camp. General Smith hasexpired. By th losed’ slip you will see that the Amerioaus mutilated and oruelly aseas- sinated the unfortunate Irish w.o were taken at the battle of Churubusco ” Another letter from the capital, under date of 11th and 12th, says, “ its appe ra that the enemy is convinced of the improbab lity of reducing the city, by apy other means than by bombarding it; because there isno doubt that he has lost 900 to 1000 men, who were placed hors ducombat by the action of the 8th, and among them thirty-seven officers and three colonels were killed, and one colonel wounded. It appears that the ‘death of Gen. Pillow is uncertain. =They have expelled from their houses all the inbabit- ants of the village of Mixcoac, in order to establish there their hospitals and head. quarters. On the 12th Sept., at 6 o’clock in the morning, the bells awoke us by the announcement of an alarm. The batteries of San Antonia Abad, and the correspond- ing battery of the enemy, opened upon each other. We have ecen discharged by the enemy @ multitude of bombs, the g.eater number of which burst in the air long before they reached our trenches. At the same hour @ firing commenced at Chapoltepec, en the right side of the town, and in the mountains whence came the attack. A ebort distance from the enemy are stationed our forces of cavalry and infantry, who were watching the foe. We opened at half after tix,from the battery ot Garipa of Belen, or it may be from that starting from the end of Bacco Nuevo, which 1s vituated in the angle, formed by the causeway leading to the villeges of La Piedas and Tacubsya.”’ This brings us, says the Picayune, tothe 12th; but at what hour of the day tholetter was closed, we are not informed. Of the eventful denouement, we have only a briet account; but sufMfcient to assure us that the Americans have achieved a brilliant triumph, and that our army is revellingin the Halls of the Montezsumas. ‘The only reliable account we have of the last struggle before the capital, isin letter addressed to Mr. Dia mond, our Collector at Vera Cruz, from Orizaba, as follows : “Onrzana, Sept. 19, 1847.—1 have the honor to inform you that an express arrived hero this evening from Mex ivo, which brings intelligence that General Soott was in the olty of Mexico. That onthe 13th the American troops took Chapoltepec and the Citadel, and went into the city that night. General Bravo was killed, and Ge- neral Sante Anna was wounded in the arm, and has re. tired with the remainder of his troops, which have suf- fered much, to Guadaloupe. Your friend, &o.”” A letter, from a creditable source, confirms all that is said in the above, and only disugrees with it in stating that the city was carried by assault on the 14th. The Sun of /Inuhuac hasit on the 13th, tho heights and forks of Chapoltepec, wore carried—on the ldthand 16th the city was bombarded, and that a part of our army entered it on the morning of the 16th. the balance re- maining at Chapoltepec. {In regard to the American loss, the Picayune saye— As to our loss before the army entered thecity, we have nothing authentic. We fear this new victory has not been achieved without great loss of life. The Mexican unts show that active hostilities commenced on the Sth, and were continued with more or less activity until our army took possession of the city. A passenger by the James L. Day informs us that it was reported among the Mexicans at Vera Cruz, that wr lost 1700 men in killed and wounded, but he could trace isto no authentic source. Another passenger estimates Gen. Soott’s loss at » quarter to a third of his army. We now come to what has been looked for with ro much anxiety, the basis upon which Mr, Tritt and the Mexicans proposed to negociate—from which it would teem that there .was no disposition on the part of the Mexicans to treat from the first. The propositions are farcical in the extreme, | annex a aynopsis. The first proposition we cvme to is from Mr. Trista— Article Ist—Th hall be s firm and universal poace as soon as the treaty in ratified by both parties. 24—All prisoners of both sides shall be returned as oon as the treaty is ratified. Sd—As soon a8 the treaty is ratified by the U. States all towns captured by the Americans shall be given up except such as are comprised within the limits of the U Staten by article 4, of this treaty, without transportation of any artillery or public property within said towns at the time of the ratification of said treaty. 4th—The dividiag line between the two republics will commence in the Gulf of Mexioo, three leaguos off land fronting the mouth of the Rio Grande, thence upwards by the middle of enid river to a point where it touches the Mexican line of New Mexico; thence towards the west to the longitude of the southern limit of New Mexico at the angle south-west ofthe longitude of the northern line of New Mexico, until intersected by the first arm of the Gila. If it should not be intersected by any arm of that river, thence to the point of said line nearest to said arm; thence in a direct line to the same, descending by the said arm, and by the said river Gila, until its dis- charge into the river Colorado, and from thenoe down- wards by the Colorado and the middle of the Gulf of California, to the Pacific ooean. 6th. In consideration of the cession of territory in the preceding article, the United States agrees to pay a sum of money (not mentioned) to Mexioo, and the abandon- ment of all claims, 6th—-The United States agrees to pay all claims of her citizens against Mexico that have been adjusted, and ali those that have not been adjusted, provided they do vot exceed three millions of dollars, after exonerating Mexico from any liability on acoount of these claims. 7th—Provides for ascertaining the validity of the claims 8th—Gives the United States the navigation of the isthmus of Tehuantepeo, or trom the Pacific, by means of any conveyance now in existence, or to be establish- ol hereafter, by canals or railroads, oth—Exempts from duties or confiscation, all goods entered during the occupation by the United States. 10th—Renews for — years the treaty of amity, com- iwerce and navigation concluded in 1831, 11th—Provides for the ratification of the treaty by the United States government, within a given number of months, ‘The following is the ultimatum of Sante Auna:— Article lst—Expresses desire for peace. 2d—Stipulates for release for all pr'soners as coon as & treaty in signed.

M. The following has just been received from New Orleans :— New Oacrans, Sept. 26, 1847. TheJamesL Day arrived here last evening from Vi Cruz Important news has been received by her. The details are meagre, aod somewhat uncertain 9 The main points are, that the armistice has been cop- cluded without @ treaty of pence; and that after conni- d-rable hard fighting the Mizican cupital was coptured, aud the American troops victorsously entered the city on the 16th of September. Of the Mexicans, General Bravo was killed. Sante Anna was wounded.and retired with his shattered forces to Guadaloupe, about twelve miles from the city. The reports are, that General Scott lost, in killed and wounded, from one thousand to seventeen hundred men. Telegraphic Despatch, No. 3. Purapecpuia, Oct. 2, 1847. The New Orleans Picayune of the 25th contains news from Vera Cruzand Tampico to the 18th of September, by merchant vessels. There are a great many contradictory reports relative to Gen. Scott’s position, but the opinion is univer- sal that he is safe. The steamer McKim left Vera Cruz on the 10th for New Orleans, buta severe norther coming on, soon after her departure, conside- rable anxiety is felt for her safety. There are several army and navy officers on board. There were large numbers of American troops at Vera Cruz, and the city filled with supplies. The Sun of Anahuac states that Major Lally’s train had left Jalapa; he had sustained very lit- tle logs in his engagements ; Lieut. Twiggs was the only officer killed. There is nothing relative to either Besancon or Henderson being with Mayor Lally. (Our previous accounts were, we believe, that Hen- derson had been killed.—Hzraup.] General Valencia has published a defence of his conduct at Contreras; it is against Santa Anna; lays the whole blame on the latter for not sending reinforcements. The Pensacola Gazette of the 25th gives the news brought by the Osceola. It states that the Mexicans agreed to cede California as indem- nity to our citizens, but refused to entertain the proposition of making the Rio Grande the boun- dary line. An officer of high rank in the navy, writes from Vera Cruz under date of the 16th ult., that the news that day, was that the Americans had recommenced hostilities, and entered the city of Mexico. Another letter states that Gen. Worth was dangerously wounded ; that the Mexicans loss in killed and wounded was two thousand and live hundred; that on the 10:h, our troops held one half of the city and the Mexicans the other; and that the battle was still going on. ‘Telegraphic Despatch, No. 4. Puttapetrura, October 2, Night. The James L. Day, from Vera Cruz, arrived at New Orleans on the 26th. The news is that the armistice is terminated ; the city taken on the 16th, after hard fighting; Scott’s loss 1700; Mex- ican loss not known; Gen. Bravo killed; and Santa Anna wounded, and retired to Guadaloupe. BY THE MAILS. ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO. From the Washington Union, of Oct 1) Notwithstanding the apparent objections which were made to the accuracy of the Mexican accounts received lust night and this morniog, and the evidently gr blunders of many portions of the Mexican statements. we have seen letters and Vera Cruz papers, by thir evening's mail, which confirm the extra of the Mob le Tribune, giving acoounts received by the brigs Ocevia.

However, we shall hear something more, I think, to- day. General Lane hasarrived; General Cushing is coming. Sony of, @ Private Letter Received at Vera Cruz. On the Sth inst, the conference was still going on in the city, but was conducted with grent secrecy. Letters written by two officers in the State Department of Mexi- co, state that General Scott’s conditions will not be ac- cepted, and that hostilities will be recommenced. This intelligence, however, cannot be relied on. although it appears to be the opinion entertained by the greater por- tion of the Mexicaa people. A continuanos of the war is urged by the inhabitants remote from the American forows; those in their vicinity seem much more quiet, and uppear to wish to eubmit without resistance. They have suffered s0 much from the robberies and maltreatment inflicted on them by the guerillas, that they appear orogd for the latter to be driven off by the Kmerloan Tees, Oa the third instant, a council of war, at which Gen. Santa Aona presided, was heid inthe canital. Herepre- sented the distresed state of the country, and request- ed the opinion of the rest of the council. Generals Bra- vo, Alvarez, and Tornel, expreased their approbation of tho manner in whieh Gen. Santa Anna had, up to that time’ conduoted the war; and declared, that if he thought proper to enter into a treaty honorable to the nation. they would sustain him in it, Butif, on the contrary, the conditions of the treaty were, in their opinion, bur- devaome, they were determined to oppose them. ‘The armistice terminated on the third, by order of the governor, who will not allow of any communication with the American camp, except by means ofa passport grant- ed by himself. Sixty dragoons of the American army set out for To. huoe, & city some fitty miles from the capital, for the purpose of purchasing provisions, The governor of that place had decided on attacking them; but on their ap. proach, strange to say, he furnished them with a guide to & pleutation near by, where they succeeded in pur- ol all they wan! 05 hs 84, fove i} been much elated at this incident—the extoll- ing itas an act of great j aad the official news- contains an in allusion to the su end Fall ofall kinds of in ‘These letters contain three newspapers—two of ‘ The Sun of Anahucc” of the 12th and 16th of and the other is the “Iris” of Vere Cruz,of ‘the Spanish, GABRIEL VALENCIA’S PROCLAMATION TO THE CITI- 7BNS OF MEXICO. (From the Sun of Anahuac. of Soy ig) We publish on the side of our Pel by ited in Span- ish. the whole proclamation of alone 3 but It 14 of so little interest to the public, that it indeed does not de- serve translation. If any one hasread Santa Anna's proclamation, he already knows the contents of Valen- cla’s. It amounts to the same thing, exoept thst instead of taking any blame to himself, he accuses Santa Anna. He says that on the first day he was victorious, but was loft destitute of wll that was pecussary to continue its course; that he disobeyed because Santa Anna had or- dered him te leave a position which protected the city; and that, if the latter hed joined him, victory was cer- tein for the Mexicans; that Sacte Anns was only four miles from bim, but that be remained still; that if be had loft the position which he had taken, the only alter- untive left to the Mexican army would have been to re treat on the capital. On the morning of the 19th, Valencia says that heleft San Angeland marched to Patterns, where he took a strong position and wuited for the American forces. who «rrived in front of him at 12 o’ciook, M ; that be imme. diately sent one of hi ijutantsto Gen Santa Anna te advise him oft 1 o'clock the Americans advanced f his ambuscades aud the action commenced ent anexpresa to Gen Francisco Perrs. who short distance frem his position with 4,000 men, 10 had been instructed to come to his assistance when neaded ; but he was anawered by Gen.

Torrejon to charge the Americaus with thres regiments ot cavalry and four picors of artillery; but eo desperate was th~ fre of the American infautry, that the Mexicans werr ‘bliged to retreat, leavii Frontera dead on the rid; that at 4 o’elock, Anna, with 6000 men, inade his appearance in the rear of the Americans; that thinking this general would attack the enemy in the rear, he ordered Gen. Torrejon to attack them in front. with one pivce of artill-ry and 400 cavalry, accompanied by Colonel Ferro with one battalion; but it seems that this extraordinary movement was not crowned with the euocess which Valencia expected it would be, and this. he @, was Santa Anna’s fault; because, if he had the Americans, the Mexican arms would cer- tainly have been triumphant, and the extermination of the $000 men who attacked him necessarily followed. He further adds, that, instead of doing what petriot- ism and honor ought to have dictated to his heart, Sante Anna remained « cold spectator to the destruction of his vallant army of the north. Night then came on, and Santa Anns retired from the mountain where he bad taken & ition, and sent adjutant Ramiro to him (Valencia) to advise him of Santa An wish to holdg conference with him. But his answor was, that no conference could be held until Santa Anns had at- tacked the Americans. as he ought to do, in the rear At 9 o’clock the same night, another adjutant from Santa ‘Anne arrived, bringing an order from him (Santa Anna) to retreat during the night, and sbandon the artillery, as (suid he) the Mexican army would certainly be de- feated the next day if the order was not obeyed. Dur- ing that night, Valenola continued receiving informa- tion that reluforcements were coming to the sid of the Americans, by roads almost impracticable; aud bh that, had Sante Anna remained ‘instead of retiring San’ Angel, he would certainly have cut the enemy to pisces; the after consult with other generals, he (Valencia) came to the conclusion to re where he was, a6, even if defeated, it would be more honorable to him'than to retreat ; and, in the first caso, the respon- sibility and ignominy would fall upon the general who had been so cold a spectator of his ruin, and the defeat of his countrymen. On the morning of the 20th August, which, according to Valencia, ought to have been one of the most glorious to the Mexican arms, the Am columns were seen moving in several directions, so as to sttack him on all sides, He sent Gen. Mendoza, with a strong force, to stop their pi 68; but he was repulsed, and then ce- joined the body. ‘The whole line was then atteck- ‘ed, and so much loss sustained, that he was obliged to order a retreat; but to effect this, it was necessary to pass through San Geronimo and Anzal.o, which he did, but with immense loss. He then remained at a distance with Generals Salas, Torrejon, Blanco, and Jauregui, to protect the fugitives. The latter general was wounded in thehead, He thon retired, to join the majority of bis had now Joined those of Santa Anna; and jing near these forces, he statrs thet he can sutistaction of eaying that two regiments re- oe him withloud cheers; but wishing to avoid a disagreeable interview with Santa Anna, he went to Cuatimalpa, where be found the battalion of Guans- juato and that of San Luis, under the command of Gen Romero, He says it was his wish that these two bat- tallons would go to the city of Mexico; but only one (that of Guansjuate) marched to that place, as the other refused to be commanded by Santa Anna. He then concludes by statingthat what he hes eald can be proved by the testimony of the adjutants whom he sent to Santa Auna, and that of more than twenty thousand friends and enemies.

The sum and substance of the news ia this :— Mr. Trist rproponda, that no further indemnity of our aitizens should be demanded from the Mexican govern- ment. Agreed to. Our citizens should be allowed the privilege of establishing two factories in California, for a given period. Agreed to. That the Rio Grande should be the line. Not agreed to. But the Mexican commissioners proposed the Nueces; to which Mr. Trist replied that he had no authority for making that the line, and required forty days to hear from his Government upon the subject, but only five days wasallowed him. By way of a concludiag peogost: tion, Mr. Trist proposed the annexation of New Call- fornia, for whioh the Government of the United States was willing to pay some fil or more millions of dol- lars. Not agreedto. The next followed a letter from Ssnte Anna to Gon. Scott, complaining of his having broken the armistice to which Scott replied, accusing him of the same thing.
