portant. 1t shuts out all prospects of a
peace. The Mexican commissioners, with
Herrera, the peace advocate, at their head.
declare that the moderate terms proposed
by Mr.. Trist were entirely inadmissible,
and their uhimotum was equally so 10 US,
We find that the Governors of several of
the States, at the very moment that nego-
~tiations were pending, were issuing address,
es to the people melting them to rise a.
gainst their invaders. Even as early as the
23d of August, it is announced inthe Diario
del G06lernO that seventy members of Co..
.greSs had declared their unwillingness to
deliberate in the capital while the army of
the enemy was threatening it, and they &C.
cordingly retired to Toluca.
Santa Anna, there is every reason TO be-
lieve, is still in the field with a force of 10
inconsiderable strengthened Paredes is
said to be between Puebla and Jalapa with
a body of six thousand men. We have
nothing to look for, therefore, but a prose-
cution of the war for an indefinite period.
The details of the battles are entirely
from Mexican sources. The only definite
of the taking of the city, is a brief
from Orizaba, directed to Mr.. Dimond,
our Consul at Vera Cruz, and dated on the
18th. 1t says the American troops took
Chapultepec on the 18th, and entered the
city that night. Another account says the
city was carried by assault on the 18th;
and a third, that the city was bombarded
On the 18th and 18th, and entered on the
10th. We presume that Scott bombarded
it, for his force was too small to attempt to
carry it by storm, and he would not be like
" to risk unnecessarily the lives of his
men.

THE MEXICAN NEWS.

Our intelligence from Mexico is in a state
of "masterly" confusion, consisting chiefly
of Mexican reports highly colored and rx.
agerated we presume, especially as regards
American losses and Mexican proves
The report reached Washington ria the
southern express that the American army
was half lost; another put it at a third or
a fourth, and amongst the fallen some emu
meratc the heroic UOrM, Smith and PHI
Lw. The Delta, whose opportunities for
Judging are good, discredits these reports
entirely. Indeed they receive but little
credence from the press as to particulars.
All believe, however, that Scott is in pos
session Of the City, and that our loss has
been great.

probably by 10 or 80 per cent. than have
ever been seen at any one time on hand
here before. This is not all, we are credi-
bly, informed by the older residents of tie
place, that goods are vastly lower than
they have ever known them heretofore, and
of q far superior quality. 1t is reasonable,
the number Of stores has increased. and
with it competition, that never fails TO low
.er the price, has been raised to a lively and
business activity. No less than sLereH well
filled dry goods stores now compete in eve
ry article of merchandise usually offered in
this market. We are candid when we say,
We believe goods can be bought as cheap
or cheaper here, than any market on the

thing we are inclined to believe they ar
.cheapets in the stores that advertise the
most. Remember that.

had taken pains 10 drill and exercise
them in the art of war, distinguished
themselves throughout the battles OF
the 2od and esd February. That
those companies which fled during the
engagement were so disorderly that
nothing was expected Of them. 0fthe
two Indiana regiments in the battle,
one was well disciplined and fought
bravels; the other was not. and gave
way in the commencement of the fight.
There was no accounting for the differ
ent behavior of the two regiments from
Indiana, except upon the score of dis
cipline. They were both from The
same State and apparently OF the same
staple. yet Bowles' regiment left their
brave commander. who when deserted
by the body of his men collected some
score of such as would follow him, and
asked permission to fight in the ranks
of ths Mississippi regiment, where
they did good service ill the close of
the battle.
An incident is related Of c oil. Bowles,
which excited no little interest in the
army. The morning after the battle,
as Bowles was passing over the field,
the Mississippi, regiment rose volunta-
Irily and presented arms ia token of
their sense of the compliment he paid
them in seeking their ranks when de-
serted by the mass of his own regiment.
