Ever God creates anew;

To adore Him, is to Do.
Do thy best, and do ii brayely;
Never flag with under zeal

September IL, 1647.
SIR: l have heretofore reported that |
had, August "a, concluded an armistice
with President Santa Anna, which was
promptly followed by meetings between
MIR. Trist and Mexican Commissioners ap.
pointed to treat of peace. -.
Negotiations were actively continued
with, as was understood, some prospect OF
a successful result, up TO the I'd instant,
when our Commissioner handed in his ulti-
u,atun (on boundaries, and the negotia-
tors adjourned to meet again on the 9th.
Some in(iactions of the truce, in respect
to our supplies from the city, were earlier
committed, followed by apologies on the
part of the enemy. These vexations was
willing to put down to the imbecility ofthe
government, and waived pointed demands
of reparution, while any hope remained Of
a satisfactory termination of the war. But
on the 9Th, and more fully on the 9th, !
learned that as soon as the atltimatum had
been considered in grand council min
isters and others, President Santa Anna, on
the 4th or 5th, without giving me the slight
est notice, actively recommended strength,
ening the military defences of the city, in
gross violation Of the Sd article Of the or
mistice.
On that information, which has since re-.
ceived the fullest veri6cation, l addressed

brilliant and arduous operations, OF more
than forty -eight hours continuance, this
glorious army hoisted, on the morning Of
the 14th, the colors Of the United States on
the walls of this palace. w aa-9o% y..E..9 g
The victory Of the 9th, at the Molinos
del Rev, was followed by daring circum
stances ON the part of our distinguished en-
gineers-Capt. Lee, Lieuts. Beauregard,
Stevens, and Tower-Maj. Smith, senior,
being sick, and Capt Mason, third in rank,
wounded. Their operations were directed
principally to the South-towards the gates
of the Piedad, ,lSan Angel, Nino Perdido,
San Antonia, and the Pasee de Ia Viga.
This city stands on slight swell of
ground, near the centre of an irregular
basin, and is girdled with a ditch in its
greater extent--a navigable canal of great
breadth and depth--very difficult to bridge
in the presence Of an enemy, and serving
at once for drainage, custom house purpo-
ses, and military defence; leaving eight
entrances or gates, over arches-each OF
which we found defended by a system Of
strong works, that seemedAo require moth

VOICE OF OHIO.

The result Of the late election in this State, is
Il most powerful exponent of The feeling that per.
vades the country with reference 10 The War in
Mexico. 1t speaks the honest sentiment of
large majority of The citizens of a State which
IN population, resources, intelligence and infu-
ence. ranks with the first in the Union: of State
which has sent nearly five thousand Of its sons
to the battle fields of Mexico. and which is now
contributing probably one.tcnlh of the entire ex-
penses OF The War. Ohio has a right TO speak
IN this matter. and her voice will be needed
She has now uttered her sentiment in distinct
condemnation Of the War; and another year will
add strength and ervor TO that tone. The qucs-
lions of Slalo policy, which have entered into The
late canvass, had undoubtedly some influence in
the resuIl but the great issue of The War was
plainly presented, and by the Locofoco party
