Further Particulars of the Battles of
COUTRERAS AND CHURUBUSCO.

We are again in receipt by our s'po-
ny team of further Intelligence from
the seat of war, of most interesting
and important character. The New
Orleans Picayune of the 9th inst,
which comes in our express package,
contains some eight or ten columns of
intelligence, consisting Of letters, doc
uments, &C., from which we annex
the following summary of the news:
A letter from commercial house in
Mexico, dated August % says:
"There are about 5000 or 1000
Mexican troops in the city, and unless
an honorable peace is entered into they
will have another brush. But my O..
pinion is al! will be settled, if it was
not previously understood"
Mr.. Kendall has series of letters in
the Picayune, all of which are interest
ing. His first letter is dated I'acuba-
! va, Aug. 81, the first of which con.
tains the list Of killed and wounded;
after which he proceeds as follows:
The New York volunteers suffered
severely, but not in proportion to the
re giment from South Carolina. sCol.
Butler. who commanded the latter, be-
haved in the most gallant manner. In
advancing npon the hacienda attacked
by Gen. Shields, al the head of his reg
inent his horse was shot dead. He
fthens advanced on foot until he re-
ceived severe wound in the leg,
which caused him to fall. In afaint-
ing condition he was carried 20 the
rear, but soon rallying, he again adj
vanced the head of his regiment, when
a musket- ball struck him in the head
and he died, almost instantly. South
Carolina lost one of her bravest and
most ger>@s AS spirits when Col. Butler
! fell. 20
1t will be seen that our own loss
falls little short Of eleren hundred =,
about 6, 600 men were actively enEag-
Hed.e When the works Of the enemy
are examined, one naturally wonders
/ that Gen. Scot,'s entire force was not
swept away. Put bis army in the
same position, and since the days Of
