FROM MEXICO.
Unwelcome News.
At length we have news from General
Scott's arraynot such, we grieve to
say, as had been hoped for after the de
feat of Santa Anna on the 20th. of Au
gust, but rather such as, from the long in
terval of silence, the public had begun to
fear; namely, the failure of negotiations
and the renewal of hostilities, with a great
deal of consequent and fresh bloodshed.
We give the accounts as they have reach
ed us from Pensacola via Mobile; they
are confused and unsatisfactojy in their
details, but' seem conclusive as to" the a-bovc-stated
important facts. It must he
apparent now to the blindest worshipper
of Executive infallibility that this once
peaceful, happy, and prosperous country
is "embarked on a sea of troubles," a sea
which at present offers no gleam of sun
shine, no friendly haven, and no prospect
but gloom and disaster. How or when
the sad voyage is to', end the wisest can
not tell.
The suhstance of the news, as stated
by the correspondent of the Mobile Re
gister, is: That Mr. Trist proposed that
no further indemnity, of our citizens
should be demanded from the Mexican
Government; agreed to. That our cit
izens should be allowed the privilege of
establishing, two factories "in California
for a given period: agreed to. That the
Rio Grande should be the line; not agreed
to. But the Mexican commissioners pro
posed the Neuces, to which Mr. Trist re
plied that he had no authority for making
that the line, and required forty days to
hear from his government upon the sub
ject. - Only five days, however, were al
lowed him. ' "." ,
" By way of a concluding proposition,
Mr. Tris proposed the annexation of
'Sew California, for which the Govcrn
hienVof the United States was willing to
pay some fifteen or more millions of dol
lars; not agreed to." '" ,"
Next followed a letter from Santa An
na to Gen. Scott, complaining of the lat
ter having broken the armistice, to which
Gen. Scott replied accusing him of the
same thins:. Of course hostilities recom-
o t , ....
menced, and on the 9th ultimo a portion
of Gen. Worth's division encountered and
routed a" large Mexican force at a little
place near. the. city, our loss betnj com
paratively trifling, while that of the Mex
icans was very great. On the 1 0th there
were other : engagements, in all of which
our forces proved victorious. : On the
11 th which is the latest accounts we
have, Gen. Scott had got into the city,
occupying only two streets, which com
manded the Plaza, and the two armies
were contending1 for victory. ' " .
Gen. Scott's loss is said to be three
thousand men since his departure from
Puebla, and strong fears were entertained
for his safety, as he was beset in his rear
by Paredes with a large force, while his
front was menaced by overwhelming
numbers under Santa Anna. It ts hoped
that these accounts arc greatly exagger
ated. On the 18th ultimo reinforcements' to
the number of two thousand men, tinder
Gen. Iane, had arrived in Vera Cruz,
and made not a moment's delay in setting
out for the city of Mexico. - Other rein
forcements were hourly expected at Vera
Cruz, but the prevalence of a norther,"
which had lasted some four or five days,
was thought to delay their comiiig.
Wc add two letters from correspon
dents ' of other papers,' which'-differ in
some respects from die above summary as
regards the points of agreement during
the effort at negotiation.
correspondence of the mobile herald.
Pensacola, September 22, 1847. '
The brig Oceo'a, Capt. Smith, arrived
at the Navy Yard here last evening, after
a passage of five and a half days from
Vera Cruz, and brings' late -and unfavor
able news from the army of Gen. Scott.
It seems thai hostilities were renewed
on the 8th instan', Santa Anna and Gen.
Scott mutually charging each other with
a violation of. the armistice, and by the
last accounts our troops had possession
of two streets, and had driven the princi
pal part of the Mexican force in or to
wards the plaza.
Our troops had sufiered, greatly from
the fire of the enemy, placed in windows
and on the roofs of the houses, and Gen. .
Worth was badly but not mortally wound-;
ed ! Our loss since leaving Puebla was
three thousand men. . " -.
Mr. Trisl's proposition for a cession of
a portion of, California, for a considera
tion of twenty millions, had been agreed
to by the Mexican' Commissioners- but
'another proposition, fixing ths Rio Grande
as trie oounuary on tms, fciue, t was. pe

. , . , . . ,. .
Letters have arnved hero from Athxio,
stating that ati express arnved there oa
his way to Oajaca, sent by Gen. Leon,
and that the said express had brought let -
ters from Mexico dated 9th instant.
vThese letters stale that the proposi-
uons made by Mr. Trist were rejected,
r, at least, one portion of them; that hos- 1 tKe shipping.
tilitics had recommenced on the 8di in Notwithstanding the war ipeech of

regmieui oi ine national uuarus, au cuia-
manueu oy uen. i.eon; mat me enemy s
forces had been badly used up, and that
their loss exceed two thousand five hun
dred. The letters say that Mr. 'Prist's propo
sitions were these: That the citizens of
the United States would not have any
thing to claim from Mexico for damages
occasioned by this war. That the Uni
ted States would have the privilege of
establishing- two factories in Upper Cali
fornia for eight years; and that the Mex
can Government could, after that time, if
it chose, renew this article of tho treaty.
This was not accepted.
Then Mr. Trist, unclothing himself of
hi3 otllcial powers, remarked to the Mex
ican ; Commissioners that he thought it
would be much better for Mexico to cede
the whole of Upper California to the U
nited States, for which this Government
would certainly .'pay -fifteen 'or twenty
millions of dollars.
This would probably be agreed upon,
if the following article had met with the
assent of the Mexicans, viz: That the
Texan boundary line would run along
from the mouth of the Rio Grande, on
the left -eide, to the right side of the Rio
Gila. But this last proposition was re
jected.. :
The Mexicans would not yield one
inch of ground the other side of the river
Neuces.
Mr. Trist then asked forty-five days,
as he said ho was not authorized to ac
cept such a proposition; but the Mexi
cans replied they would give but five
days, and no more. ;;: - :
On the 5th day (the 7th) a letter was
written by Santa Anna to Gen. Scott, ac
cusing him of. breaking the - armistice on
some trifling pretext. Gen. Scott ans
wered making similar charges.
.On the 8ih, in the afternoon, a body of
a few hundred men of Gen. Scott's were
sent to attack Chapuhepcc. They en
countered a large force of the enemy's
best troops there, and a terrible fight en
sued, in winch the Mexicans got, as u
s.ial, a sound thrashing. Gen. Leon,
who commanded the Mexicans, was
wounded, and Gen. Balderas, ol the Na
tional Guard," was killed. ',
" The small number of the Americans
(who, the J Mexican letters say, to use
their own expression, "have fought like
devils") retired to Tacubaya, leaving five
wagons behind i them. Some of these
Had no wheel?, while others had no
horses. 'The 'loss on the part of the
Americans is very small comparatively.
A proclamation (or manifesto, as they
call it) was issued by Gen. Ilerrera,
Governor of the city of Mexico, recom
mending to' the citizens, men, women,
and children, to collect stones and carry
them to the roofs of houses, and from
there throw ihem at the Americans if
they i entered the city.
TLe above letter reached Vera Cruz
bv the way of Orizaba.
Bctino Wives. A Massachusetts vol
unteer writing from Monterey, makes the
following statement:
"The mothers, here, have a great prac
tice of sellixo their daughters to the sol
diers. L saw two beautiful girls, one 18,
and the other 16, sold last week, the first
for $64, and the last for $60.",
What stronger illustration could be of
fered of the dreadfully demoralizing ten
dencies of war ? A Mexican mother o
penly and shamefully selling her daugh
ters into concubinage, in order, at one and
the same time, to gratify her own merce
nary desires, and to satisfy the lustful
propensities "of the invader of her soil.
