news entire,
From the Nee ORLEANS Picayuns.-Sept. 9Th.
The U. s.. steamship Mary Kingsland, Cap
tain John Davis, arrived at an early hour this
morning. BY her we have received our letters
from MIR. Kendall from the 22d to the 18th of
August, all dated from Tacubaya. A courier
despatched By him on the Goth with the first
account of the battle fought on that day was
cut OFF.
From a map and plan Of the battlefield be-
fore US, we note that they are called the battles
of Coutreras and Churubusco-so called from
field works of the enemy of those names. The
victories were decisive, but so far as we can
Judge from a hasty perusal of a portion Of our
letters, the proposition for an armistice was
made by Gen. Scott-probably at the sugges-
ton of the British embassy. The report we
have hitherto given that the city of Mexico
was at our mercy appears to have been unfoun-
ded.
Should peace not follow from the negotia-
tions now pending, another battle must ensue,
the enemy having a force of from fifteen to
twenty thousand men yet left. But the road
appears 10 be completely open to us, and the city
is only two and a half miles from our encamp-
ment.
Our victories have been purchased at a vast
loss of valuable life, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing list-we will give a fuller one to-mor-
row. We see names of men at the loss of
whom we weep; but all have their friends and
we make no distinctions.
