liousE OF ALFARA ON THE CHAPULTEPEC
!CAUSEWAY, September 16th, 1847.
'The undersigned, commissioned by the
government of the Mexican republic to con- I
cert with your excellency an arrangement
for peace, on placing in your hands the '
counter project which they have framed
conformably to the lasOnstructions of their
government, think proper to accompany it
with the observations contained in this note,
which will tend to place in a clearer light
the pacific disposition of Mexico in the con
test which unfortunately separates both
countries. The 4th article of the project
which your excellency was pleased to de
liver to us on the the 27th of August last,
and which has been the subject of our latter
conference, relates to the cession on the part
of Mexico—l, of the State of Texas ; 2, of
the territory this side the limits of that State,
extending to the left bank of the Bravo and
to the southekn frontier of New Mexico; . 3,
of all New Mexico ; 4, of the two Califor
nias.
The existing war has been undertaken !
solely on account of the territory of the
State of Texas, respecting which the North
American Republic, presents as its title the'
act!of the said State by which it was annex:'
ed to the North American -confederation, after
having proclaimed its independence of Mex
ico. The Mexican Republic offering (as !
we have informed your Excellency) to con
sent, for a' proper indemnification, to the ,
pretension of the. govern of Washing-"!
ton to the territory of Texas,the cause of
the war has disappeared, and the war itself
ought to cease, since there is no warrant for'
its
its continuance. To the other territories
mentioned in the 4th article of your Excel
lincy's draught, no right has heretofore been
asserted by the Republic of North America,
nor do we believe it possible for it to assert
any.. Consequently it cduld not acquire
them, except by the right of conquest, or by
the title which will result from the cession
or sale Which Mexico may how make. But
as we are persuaded that the republic of
Washington will not only repel, but wilt
in abhorrence the first of these titles,
and as, on the other hand, itwould ben n,,!w
thing and contrary to every idea of justice
to make war on a people for no i..therraion.
than betause it refused to sell territory which
its neighbor sought to buy, wehollie from
the justic.o of; the government and *pie of
North Amend that the ample modifi.atlons
which we hive to propose to the cession of
territory ( except that of the State of Tex al)
coistoinplated by the said article 4, will not
be-Cmotive to persiat in the war Which the
wortliylenerai of the Ameri'cin troopi

The Picayjune of the 2d inst., has some
extracts from! Mexicap papers.
I Santa Anitais efforts, after notice had been
given ofthe termination of the armiltice, to

represented as truly , prodigious . Its stated
that he purchased from his private purse alI
tlte arms he 63tild fi nd, and the edi t rof the
Diario, in hile paper of 'the 10th adds, that
he had seen the day before the receipt for a
very large sum of money paid by the gen
eral in chief; himself, for a nunther •of mui
kets, and 64„000 flints, for the army. " Add
this," says the: Diario, evidently Considering
it triumphant Vindication of Santa Anna's
fidelity to his country, " to thetrenson of
which'he is Accused by the notorious D. Ra

' The Diar
~ o of the 10th, speaking of the
demonstrati n , made by our army on that
morning,irays , that at the alarm the troops
parched out to defend the point threatened,
with the greatest alacrity, and displayed an
ardor that prmised the best results. It was
impossible, t adds, to describe the enthusi
asm of the people, all shouting " Liberty
and IndepOndence !" and declaring their
intention never to surrender to the ruthless
foe.
We find Translated in the Diarjo an in
tercepted laser from our army. describing
the battles if Contreras and Churubusco. :
In the letter: it is stated that our loss was not
less than 1000, while that of the enemy was
hot less thin 2000 killed and' wounded.—
The editor Bites this letter as an evidence of
the proneness of the Americans to exage
rate the Mexican loss and underrate their
own. In these two battles, he adds, " our
loss does not exceed 1000, but theta the en
emy cannot be less than 2000." We know
that the letter was at least correct in the
statement - ot our loss.

. It will be remembered that immediately
on the am istice being agreed upon, the
Mexican S cretary of State issued a procla

We has 4 before us a fierce reply- from
Gen. Valen6a to the report of Gen. Sales, of
the battle of Contreras. The part of it that
roused the ire of Valencia was the statement
that he disdppeared from among his troops
as soon as the battle commenced on the 20th
of • August 4 and was never seen after. He
claims in his reply to have been. present du
ring the whole battle, and that he only left
when he found it impossible to rally his
troops. Sdlas, Valencia says, saw all his ef.'
forts, and hn return for his unkind insinua
tions, charges him with an attempt to cover
his own disgrace in being taken prisoner by
traducing his commander. Valencia says :
If this gentleman has allowed himself to
fall into initctivity, it was owing to his feed
ing 'his appiThensions at the moment of&in
ger#: or to his, little skill in horsemanship,
and want nf valor to leap a little ditch by

esearied"inti• tittentinn it a first glance tit
them. First we, find it stated in the Arco
Iris, of Vera, Cruz, of the 16th instant, on
the authority ,of private: letters, kind in the
battle of the Mill El Rey, fought on-the Bth
instant, the Mexican loss was considerable ;
ii for, besides," says that Journal, " therdeath
of Gen. Don Lucas Balderas, the regiments
Nos. 3 and 4 of light-troops, and the 11th of.
the line, have been cut to pieces." The
Arco Iris adds : •" The loss of the enemy - has
1 -been large, he having lost three pieces of ar
tillery and five hundred men, it is asserted,
who were Placed hors de combat.
We may here state that we have a letter
from Pensacola, giving verbal information
obtained from Capt. Frank Smith, of the
' brig Osceola, who left Vera Cruz on the 18th
inst., st=ating that in the'action which follow
ed the termination Of the armistice, General
Worth was dangerously wounded, and about
eleven hundred of hie men killed. This in
telligence was, in alt probability, gathered
in Vera Cruz, and is only one of the thou
sand rumors that were circulating there. -
The correspondence of the- Arco Iris differs
materially filtom the • first Mexican account,
of the affair, and strengthens our belief that
the representations that it was disastrous to
our arms, were, to. a measurable extent,
Mexittan bombast. • .
We have already given the so called ulti
matum of the enemy in his negotiations with
Mr. Trist. It appears froin a communica
tion from the Mexican commissioners, ti
translation of which is published below, that
Mr. Trist receded from his first -proposi
tion, in his territorial demands, and thin na
thii point, the only difference was upon the
cession of New Mexico ; Mr. Trist, accord
ing to the Mexican commissioners, being wil
ling to recede from his demand-of the Cali
rondos below the 27th parallel of latitude,
and also expressing his willingness to refer
to his government the difference in relation
to the territory between the Nueces and Rio
Grande., The reader will observe on the tie
' rusal of one of the communicationa of the
I
Mexican commissioners that it was the wish
of their government to make it u condition
o f the treaty that the British goverument
should guarantee its fulfilment.
This was certainly a singular propOsition,
and was of itself sufficient to tertiMinte the
I negotiations, if it was the only point of differ
euce, and was insisted on.
The Arco Iris of the 15th, under a cap
tion of the Padre Jarauta, relates that he
.captured an American named D. N. Curtis,
with goods valued at $7,000, which he was
endeavoring to smuggle into the Orizaba
road. Exasperated by his loss, says the
Arco Iris, he watchedan opportunity,seized
a musket, and shot three persons who wer e
since
at play at a table, one of whom hue n
died, and effected his escape.
The State of Zacatecas,' taking adiantage
, of the distracted condition of the country, it
lis said, has sent a force to . Aguascalientes,:
1 which has for some time been independent
[-of Zacatecas, and has been recognised us an.
; independent State, to reduce it to subtnis
' sion, which consisted of 450 men, and two
pieces of cannon, to oppose which " hot wa-,
tar" people had 200 infantry, a number of
mounted guerrillas, and relied upon the bra
very of the iiihnhitiotts to defend them.
In relation It/ Paredes, the Arco Iris of
the 18th inst., after mentioning,thnt the Pa
dre Jarauta -bad left Soledad fur Jalapa with .
In torte of three hundred men, well mounted,

Scott. It is added that he has said that it
was his intentiim in returning to his native
country, only to serve her in her difficulties
&Ind .not to fo ment
, a revolution for his per
sonal
advancement. Earlier advices state ,
that he had been sick at Tepeaca, from i
which he had recovered. He had been ap-1
pointed Inspector General of the National'
Guard, or militia of Puebla;.but the Arco

that lie remitted to - Mexico to obtain so'
empty lan honbr as this. The government,
up to the last advices, had made no attempt'
to 'arrest him in his proceedings. -
