teers.
Private letterh have br;en received at Sai
4illo as late as ,the sth of alarch, -at which
time.Gen.lityle'r was at Buena Vista. The
following leper was received at MatamOras,
by a Mexican inetchant at that place, from
it Mexican at Saltillo. It was dated on the
oath of March, and gives tne only account of
' the manlier in which the battle was fought
L. that has }'et been received.
"ALBo'clock ON the 22d ultimo. the , banle
, commenced at Nona Vista: five miles from
:Satan°. The fight opened with ai tillery.and
• a destructive cannonade was kept ti ten until
sunset. No decided advantage was obtain
ed on either side—the loss-on both being ve
ay great.
-On-the 23ds-ut- o'c lock J-the-bat tle we.
.agail renewed and kept up without inter
unission until half past three in the:Afternoon.
'Both armies were closely. engaged during
(the-whole time. General IVenl advanced
with a strong detachment against the Alexi
',vitt army but was driven back with imrricrise
tress, The Mexican cavalry ehargcd ripen

red and repelled the Mesieans•vath great Alan h•
to ! This charge decided the battle, which
etas not again renewrid. The number kill
ed and Wounded was very great on hoth
sides. I can only estimate the . windier_ by
.the cart loads of wounded that have entered
this city from both battle fields.
"On the 24th both armies hung "nll with
-out coming to a general mie:igerrorni—darli
occupied in carrying off the wounded and
barying their dead.
"Alter the 24th there was no more tight-
Mexican troop tamo•hing with
hunger, became convinced that they could
not triumpn or drive General Taylor from his
position, and retired
"4s yet Santa Anna nits only retired a
short distance, -but I do not entertain the be
lief that lie will venture another engage
ment.
"Mexico has.notA3 means to bear the
burden of the war—it is opposing poverty to
abundance—weakness to strength. In my
opinion it would b, best for the tv:o govern
ments-to- enter into negotiations , . With the
power the United Stales possess it would he
dishonorabla•in het to force t* into treaties
advintageous alone to hers-elf, as it wonld be
