Interesting Letter.

The following letter from field officer Of the
Army in MeNitoto a friend in this city, Is Of the
very latest date from General Scots head-quar-
tcrs, (Aug. 29th) of the result Of the Peace
negotiation the writer expresses some doubt
That the Mexican government, and Santa Anna
in particular, would be glad to make peace, is
considered certain; but there are serious draw.
backs, arising from the temper of the people, OF
portion Of them, and the probability that Par
edcs and his partisans would make the conclusion
of Peace, on such terms as our Commissioner
was instructed to demand, an occasion for new
revolutionary attempts. Either way, Santa An
ma is in difficult position; and how he will ex-
tiicnie himself remains TO be seen.
This letter, written a week niler the battles,
states the Mexican loss at 1000 killed, including
two Generals, Understood to be Frontera and
Torrcion,) 4OO0 wounded, and near 5000 pris-
oners, including seven Generals Torrejon was
the General who captured Thornton's squadron
Of Dragons ON the East side Of the Rio Grande,
at, or rather before the commencement of the
war. Thornton was killed BY cannon ball on
approathing the Mcxitan capital, and if Tore
jon was killed also, the coincidence is somewhat

~ upon my knee, the cartilage of which had
beenkserously injured, tainted and fell upon
the bank, in the direct range and within perfect
reach of the cnemys fire. That ] escaped,
seems to me now providential. Tho rout and
overthrow of the whole Mexican force soon be-
came complete, and we could easily have taken
the city; but General Scott was met with pfpi,-
osition for an Armistice, (aftcr demanding the
surrender of the city) with view to open nc
gotiations for peace.
In my Judgment the army, full of arlor and
confidence, was humancly and wisely rcstrainc,l.
Major General Quitman, Ten, Pcrsiicr T. Smith
and myself were appointed commissioners 10

terms Of the arnistice. ! had not taken OF my
spurs nor slept an hour for two nights, in oonsc-
quence of my engagements and the pain Of my
knee. | obcyed the summons, was helped into
my saddle, and rode two and half miles to
Tacubaya, where the commission assembled al
the house Of Mr. Mcintosh, the British consul
general. Our conference commenctP late in
the afternoon, and at four o'clock the next NOR
ming the articles were signed
That was thoroughly exhausted you will

lost several dear friends, although our acqnaint-
ance had been of short duration. l visited the
hospital yesterday, and saw officers and men with
shots in all parts of their persons. Although all
who were not really dying were cheerful, and
many who had lost limbs in high spirits, still
sickened at the sight. My general health has
been good. have been in my saddle or on my
feet every rod since left Vera Cruz, which can
be said by few officers in my command for al.
most all were obliged, at some point Of The march,
in consequence Of the change of climate, water,
exposure, &c. to avail themselves Of the ambu-
lance. Colonel Watson, with his marine corps
accompanied me- and has been uniformly we'll
lie is an excellent, agreeable gentleman, and adj
mirable officer, and regret that having been
left with Gen. Quitman's division at San Angus
tine, he had no opportunity to participate in the
battle of the 10Th and goth.
Now word with regard to the great object of
this war-peace. There is no doubt that Santa
Anna is sincerely DESTROYS of peace. Commits
sioners 10 treat have been appointed, and met
Mr. Trist this afternoon at four. NJ belief is
that peace will he the result, although no man
can speak with confidence.
