PITTSBURGH, Sept lO---1o o'clock, p. M.
The Picayune ofthe Sd inst, has been re-
ceived by express for the Philadelphia Led
ger. The Steamer Fashion left Vera Cruz
on the 9th ult, Tampco on the 29h. The
news by this arrival is the most important
that we have received in many months from
Mexico. Our army has not only advanced
to the city of Mexico, but has had two en-
gagements with the enemy close under the
walls Of the city-and defeated them.
The Mexcans have been brought to sup
plieate suspension of arms, and Gen. Scott
has granted it,
The Mexican Congress has been conven.
ed, to take into consideration Mr.. Tnst's
proposition.
The news was received at Vera Cruz on
the evening of the 26th ult., by an express
courier from Onzaba, who brought down The

The SENATE OF ONO. This body, says
the Ohio Patriot, consists Of thirty six mem
bers, one.half Of whom are elected every
year. AT the coming election, however,
twenty Senators are TO be chosen in conse-
quencAof the resignation Of the member from
Wayne, and the death Of the one from Erie
and Huron. OF the sixteen Senators who
were elected last fall and will again take
their seats this winter, one half are demo-
Gratis and the other half federalists. OF The
twenty members who are TO be elected this
fall, some Of our democratic friends think
that they will carry eleven; others say only
ten which will make that body a tie. All

SPEECH ON THE WAR, DELIVERED
IN MANSFIELD:
son returning 10 the United States, after
an absence of more than year, was dis
appointed, chagrined, astonishcd, to find the
enthusiasm that existed at my departure, to
great extent, sunk into coldness and indif-
ference. When the constituted authorities
Of our government declared that state Of
war existed, every citizen of the United
States was bound by law and honor TO exert
his power in the manner best calculated to
subserve the interests of country. 1t was
not then the moment TO enquire whether the
cause Of the war we're just, or the war itself
polite. 1t was enough for the true patriot
TO know his country was involved in war.--
Under such circumstances every man should
be patriot. The more so. since in our
country which is not cursed with standing
army, we look 10 and depend upon voluntary
exertion for protection and defence. 1t
therefore behooves every man, as he regards
the welfare Of bis country, to lend his aid i'll
the vigorous prosecution Of the present war.
No man is exempt; every man is involved,
Chancellor Kent says, "when war is duly de-
clared, it is not merely war between this
and the adverse government in their political
characters. Every man is, in judgement Of
law, party 10 the acts of his own govern
ment, war between tho governments OF
two nations, is war between all the individ
uals ofthe one, and all the individuals o.
which the other nation is composed" adaa

no more right than to the territory that forms
the western shore of the Sabine. For ;
time subsequent TO the declaration of indie
pendence, the issue was doubtful; but a

To the Editor of the Statesman:
By special express TO Philadelphia, We
have most thrilling and extraordinary news
from tho seat of war.
The news was run by express for the Phi
adelphia Ledger, and more-than confirms the
previous accounts.
Some say that FOURTEEN HUNDRED
of our troops fell in the battle with Valencia
and Santa Anna before the city of Mexico!
1t is also reported that Paredess and Bus
tamente are marching upon Mexico dealing
death and destruction 10 the American forces
All the foreigners and deserters in Mex
CO are fighting against us -72 { which have
been taken prisoners by our army--(so We
understand the despatch.) ~
GENERAL SCOTT WAS WOUNDET
BY GRAPE SHOT.
The armistice gives great dissatisfaction
and is regarded by our army as one Of SAINT
Annals old tricks TO gain time, and for whicI
he is notorious.
II is also reported that Santa Anna i
backed by the BRITISH MINISTER!
Is is reported that Valencia was drunk a

presume it was after the baitle.) His arm
was also said 10 be dispersed, and that tn
prospects of peace were Frightening
We cannot reconcile this last sontenc

the prospect of peace can be brightenin

We hope peace may ensue, but we have I
