A letter from Santa Anna received at San
Luis, dated, Camp near Buena Vista, Feb.
23d, says,--"After two days battle in which
the enemy, (the Amercans,) with force of
5000 to 1000 men, and 20 pieces of artillery,
lost five of his positions, pieces of artillery,
and two flags, have determined to 90 back
to Aguo N Me- to provide myself with pro-
visions, not having a single biscuit or grain
of rice left Thanks to the position Of the
enemy, (the Americans,) he has not been
completely beaten, but he left on the field
about 1000 dead Both the armies have
been badly cut to pieces, but the trophies of
war will give you an idea on which side has
been the advantage.
We have struggled with hunger and thirst
during 30 hours, and if we can provide our
selves with provisions we will 60 again to
charge the enemy, (thc Americans). The
soldiers urder my command have done their
duty, and covered the honor of the Mexican
nation with glory. The enemy has seen that
neither his advantageous position, the broken
nature of the ground, nor the rigor of the
season, 0or it has been raining during the
action,) could prevent the terrible charge
with the bayonet which left him terrified,
Another letter from Aqua Nueva, says two
commissioners arrived there from Gen. Taylor
demanding the surrender Of the Mexican
army. Santa Anna exhibited to them the
state of his army, showing the enthusiasm and
decision that prevailed among the troops, who
had fallen back to thatpoint,only for obtaining
food. Santa Anna finally gave as a definite
reply, that unless they (the Americans) sur
rendered at discretion, he would again renew
the battle on the following day. and continue
until he completed their destruction.

rey is filled with armed Mexicans, and also
