CINCINNATI, Friday Morning, Oct. l, 10 A. M.
An extra from the office of the Mobile Tri-
bune, dated Sept. 25th, received at Baltimore
by the SUMS celebrated ''Poney Express" an
nounces the arrival of the brig Oceola, at PEN
sacola, on the evening of the 2lst, after pas
sage of only five days from Vera Cruz. The
Vera Cruz SIM of Anahuac publishes letter
from Puebla dated Sept. 1lth which states that
an express rider had arrived at that place on
his way to Cajaco, was sent by Gen. LEON, and
that the said express had brought letters from
the city of Mexico, dated 9th September.
These letters state that the peace proposition
had been rejected, or at least that hostilities
had commenced on the afternoon of the 9Th,
and that a severe battle had been foughton that
evening between detachment belonging to
Gen. ScoTT's army and four picked regiments
of Mexican, and one regiment OF National
Guards-alI commanded by Gen. LEON. The

Mr.. TRIsT's propositions were in substance
these:
That the United States would not claim any
thing from Mexico for damages occasioned by
the war, but should have the privilege of estab-
fishing two factories i'll Upper California for
eight years, after which time the Mexican gov
eminent could renew this article of treaty.
This was not accepted.
Mr.. TRIsr then unclothing himself of his Of
fetal authority, remarked to the Mexican Com
missioners, that Mexico had better cede to the
United States Upper California, for which the
Americans would pay fifteen or twenty mil
lions of dollars, which would probably have
been agreed upon had the Mexican assented
that the Texan boundary line should run from
the mouth of the Rio Gande on the left side to
the right side. This proposition was rejected
the Mexicans refusing one inch of ground the
, other side of the Neuces.
Mr.. TRIsT, as he had not been authorized tc
accept such proposition, then asked forty five
days for its consideration, but the Mexican.
i would consent to give only five days. On tn,
fifth day SANTA ANNA wrote a letter to Gen
SCOTT, accusing him of breaking the armistice
d Gen. ScorT replied by making similar charge
Y On the eighth day, Gen. Scott sent few
hundred men to attack Chapultapec. The,
, encountered the troops before mentioned AM
= terrible battle ensued, which resulted in tn
overwhelming defeat of the Mexicans. Gen
IS died. and Gen. Balderas, of the National Guard
was killed. The Americans retired to Tacu
baya, leaving five worthless wagons behind
E. The American loss is said to be comparativel
I'd small.
GEN. HERRERA had issued proclamation re
commenting all Mexicans of every sex, age
40 and condition, to carry stones to the house-top
p to fight the Americans after they enter tn
to city,
p The correspondents of the Mobile papers
writing from Pensacola on the 23d of Septem
Der, state that letters have been received whic
AZ state that our troop were in possession of tw
IL streets in the city, and had driven most of til
u Mexican forces towards the Plaza. The Anne
lis leans suffered greatly from the enemys fire frol
windows and house-tops.
y GEN. WORTH was badly wounded, althoug
Il, supposed not to be moytally- Our loss sine
.of leaving Puebla has been 5000 men,
One account states that TRIsT's propositie
for the concession of California for consider
'es ton of twenty millions had been agreed to
1t the mexicans, and another fixing the Rio Crane
as the boundary peremptorily refused.
