Victory! Victory!!
GREAT AND GLORIOUS NEWS.
Battles at Penon and San An
gel-Defeat of Santa Anna
City of Mexico at our
Feet-Gen. Valencia Rout-
ed-Suspension of Arms
Probability of Peace.

The sum of the intelligence brought
by the Fashion, is of the most pleasing,
as il is OF the most important nature,
since it announces another victory that
has crowned the American arms.-a
victory that will in all proba bility be
most blessed in its results, bringing a.
bout peace between the two hostile
republics. 1t appears that the march
of our army under General Scott from
Puebla, to within eight or nine miles of
the capitol, was uninterrupted by any
resistance on the part of the enemy.
At I'll Penon-a position fortified by
Santa Anna-the two hostile forces
first came into collision, where accor-
ding to Ell Sol de Anahuac, a division
OF the American army made all onset
on the enemy, the main body passing
through Gaudaloupe, and 10 the surprise
o' the Mexlcans, appearing suddenly
in their rear.
A regular fight then ensued at
place called San Angel, situated about
six or eight miles Soulhwest of the cap
itol; the result of which was that Gen.
eral Valencia's s division of the Mexican
army was totally routed, when Santa
Anna fell back with the remainder of
his troops on the city. Here the great
est CONSERVATION prevailed, and, as
the only means to stop the victorious
career of the American army, it was
decided to solicit from Gen. Scott a
suspension of arms. A flag Of truce
was dispatched to the American head
quarters for this purpose, with the view
Of giving time for the opening of nego-
,iations for the renewal of pacific rela.
tions. The Mexican Government in
timated to Gen. Scott tina, it was ready
to treat for peace Oh the propositions
brought by Mr.. Trist. Thus, at the
eleventh hour, has the stubbornness of
ourhitherto intracticable neighbor given
way, and best hopes may be entertain.
ed that we are on the eve of sheathing
the sword, a consummation heartily to
be desired by every friend of humanity.
The American Commander in chief
at once acceded to the request Of the
Mexican Government, and truce was
declared. The city of Mexico, we
earn, is absolutely at our mercy, being
surrounded by our army. Gen. WortR
At the head ofhIs division, is in the rear
Of the capit'l, having it in his power
10 cut off all the supplies from that quar-
er. The decisive action at San An.
gel, where Valencia's troops were pu,
o fight, took place on the Goth ultimo.
d course, we know nothing of the de.
ails, nor Of the loss sustained in the
wo conflicts by the two armies. The
express which brought the intelligence
o Vera Cruz, came by the way OF Ora.
