WLNFIELD SCOTT. To this Santa Anna made the follovying reply: - " Headquarters, Army of MexiCAN Repitblic j Mexico Sept. 6, 1847. ; To His Excellency Gen. Winfield Scott, Com " . mandcr-in-Chuf of the Army of the United 5 1 Stales : . ; ' L Sir- By the note 'of your Excellency Under this date 1 learn, with surprise, that the civil and military authorities of Mexico have viola ted articles 7, 12 and 3 of the armistice which I concluded with your Excellency on the 24th of last month. " i The civil and military authorities of Mexi co have not obstructed the passage of provis- ions ior ine Amancan army , ana n at times their transmission has been retarded,' t has been owing to the imprudence of the Ameri can agents, who, without having a previous understanding with 'the proper authorities, gave occasions for popular outbreaks, which it has cost the- -Mexican Government much trouble, to repress. Last night and, the' night before the escorts for the provision train were ready tc start, and were only detained because Mr. Hargous, the agent, desired it. The orders given to suspend the intercourse be tween the two armies were addressed to pri vate individuals, no't to the agents "of the army of the United States, and were in tended purposely to expedite the transmission of provisions to the army, and to confine' the intercourse to that object exclusively In return for this .conduct your Excellency has prevented the owners or managers of the grain mills in the vicinity of the citv from furnishing any flour to the city, which is a true uieucxi 01 me gooa lann your ii.xceuency hadi pieagea me. ' : It is false that any new work or foriifijea tion has been undertakinbecause one or two repairs have only served to place them in the same condition they were in on the day the armistice was entered into, accident or the con venience of the mcjment having caused tfce destruction of the then existing works. You have had early notice of the establishment of the battery covered with the mud walls of the house of Garry, in this city, and did not re monstrate, because the peace of two great Republics could not be made to depend upon things grave in themselves, but of little vain p. compared to the result in wich all the f rienas oi Humanity and ol the orosDer tv nf thp. American continent take so great an 'interest. There is some obscurity in this seritenep which, it is probable, is owing to typographical errors.- EdsPic It is not without great frrief and even indifr- nation that I have received communications from the cit'es and viilaires occuDiecT hv thi army of your Excellency, in relation to the violation ol the temples ; consecrated to the worship of God; : to the plunder of the sacred vases, ana" tofhe nrofanalmn nf tho i venerated by the Mexicon neonle.

I have observed silence to the present rnoment, in order; not to obstruct trie progress ol negotiations which held out thp hope of terminating a scandalous war, and one which your Excellency has characterized so justly aV unnatural. Butll shall desist of fering apologies, because I cannot be blind to the truth that the true. cause, of ftie threats of renewing hostilities, contained in thenpte of your ixcellency, is that I have, not been wil ling to sign a treaty which would lesien cortv siderably v the tenitofir of : the ReDublic and not only the. territory of the Republic, but that' dignity and mtegnty which all nations deiend to the last extremity. .

" i 1 I have the honor! to be your Excellency's humble 'servant,- 1 : - ANTONIO LOPEZ DE-SANTA ANNA. On the 7th, Gen Hcrrcn, as commandant of the city of Mexico, addressed the clergy, exhorting them to exert all their influence to mcim the people to arm themselves and pre pare to resist the Ahrerican army - n . , . Following up events as closely as the somewhat disconnected accounts will permit in the order in : which they occurred, we find thatjon the 8th,j Gen ' Scott attacked the Mill del Rey, or King's Mill, in the immedi ate vicinity of QhapuTtepec,' and according to the Diario del Gobierno and the Boletin, published at Atliscoj our army was repulsed after a severe conflict, in which we lost about 400 in killed, and from 600 to'700 in wound ed, and fell back Upon Tacubaya. We give below a translation jofthe Boletin's descrip tion of the engagement ; premising, that the reader will bear in mind it is Mexican, arid is,-in all probabilty, a great exaggeration j if not an entire misrepresentation. It is from an extra of the Boletin, issued on the 9th in stant: .. ; ,' I' " At half-past 5 this morning the 8th the fire commenced on the two flanks of Chapul tepee. The left was resting on the mill of El Rey, close to the forest of Chapultepec 1 his point was commanded by Gen Leon, and under his order were tne battanion oi Mina, whose colonel was the patriotic and valiant Balderas, arid the battallions Union and La Patria, Oaxaca, in one of which were included the companies of; Puebla, also j a body from Quefetaro and some other all composing the National Guard. : The . right flank rested on the house of Mata, at the dis tance of a quarter of a league from Chapulte pec, and occupiod ! by 1500 of the regular army, commanded by Gen Perez. The en- i r - . . . . . emy in two columns, with his usual daring, attacked these points first with artillery ,and at a cmarter to B with a rapid fire of musket ry. Gen Perez sustained the fire very well for about half an hour, when, for causes it present unknown, he retired with his force, although he had not lost ten men. The re treat must have been fatal for Mexico if, for tunately, Gen Leon and his brigade had not shown prfligies of vilor. Twice repulsed he column that attacked him, and in trie second he sallied from his position to recover the aitillery (jren. Ferex had lost ; but then he received a mortal wound, and in a few moments afterwards the valiant Balderas was wounded and died on the field The enemy with additional forces again charged and took possession of the mill. Twice he was dis lodged, but on his retaking il the third time it I was lound lmppssih e to bring our troops the charge. . In spte of these two advantages which heir endeavors to attack they had gained in Chapultepec, they could not effect a farther advance, which, may be owing to their being intimidated by the resistance of our' forces and the considerable loss they had suffered. The result was. that at 9 o'clock in the morning the, fire of small arms had nearly ceased, and they were seen employed in collecting their killed and wounded. At 1 1 o'clock the ene my commenced a retrograde movement, and by 2 in the afternoon he withdrew his force to Tacubaya,! abandoning the two points he had occupied and blowing up the house of Mata although some say it was set on fire by a bomb fired from Chapultepec' Tt is believed that Gens (Twiggs and Pierce directed the at tack, and that they put in motion about 8000 men. It is certain that the fire was more in tense and brisk than at; Churubusco. It is impossible to ascertain the loss on either side. Ours does not " amqut to 100 killed and 250 wounded. There are few missing nearly all not killed or wounded retired to Chapulte pec. The enemy, according to. the confession of an Irishman who came over , to us in the evening, carried ofT400 dead and 600 to 700 wounded. We have: to lament the loss of Gen Leon, since dead ; that of Col Balderas of the valiant Col Huerta and of the deter mined Capt Mateos; ofj Puebla, who tonduct ed himself like a hero, telling his soldiers;on the point pf death, that they must never forrret they were Pueblanos, andf to fight valiantly to the death. We will take care that he shall be buried in the Pantheon, and that his unfortunate widow shall receive a pen- If the cavalry had takei the nosition signed to them at 4 o'clock in the morninrr by order of Gen Santa Anna, and if, above alT they had made; the charge which was order ed at the moment' that the enemy attacked the mill of El Rey, instead of flying precini. tately, the action would have terminated early and triumph would have been com plete. But they did! not take the Dosition tn which they were ordered, much less make the' charge as commanded. Gen Alvarez being pbliged to state officially t through his .ujuiani mat ue uia noi maice tne charge, be csruse his subordinate . officers refused on ac count of the 2TOUnd bftinty Urin i broken for cavalry, as if it were not the sanre JUi lu.c cavalry, oi tne enemy. . j - It is believed that iK ..v.... :n l: i . 7-7 -iw ..vfioiiiY; wm renew me attack to-morrow ni aMi.;. --...-.i by, that of La Piedad. or by that of San An- One of the; enrnv's miPrrhVoo with Scbti; was made k prisoner and shdt the spot 4 .-1 - came orr The next accounts" we rmfrr v 1 ital comein a letter; to-"the Arco Iris; dated on the 10th inst. : We subjoin a translation li .1 . ... ....... . ! - oi ii ; ..... .

Santa Anna certainly has sohie 15,000 troops under his arms but is as much in favor of peace as e ver. He has opponents in every par ty anu every, quarter, many ot them, too, warmly in favor of-peace. They perhaps may overcome their scruples, to the man for the sake of the measure, but of this we shall know more anon. . The Congress of the State - of Mexico, in eession a Toluca: has come out against neace measures, and .the Governor, 01oguibeIiias ; The peace" commissioners: aflet bein& iri session two or three days, have adjourned, tin- til the 1st September, Wednesday, next." Of " their proceedings no one knows any thing; but it is rumored that both Geh. Scott and Mr, . v Trist express hopes that a treaty of peace Will be signed. . - - : -', " V alehcia is at Toluca, endeavorinrr to write himself out of the scrape his great lack df fight ing propensities got him into at Conteras.

Auor. 21. 1847: I My Much Loved Uncle-rConsidering uiat you would -be uneasy on our account under present circumstances, I write ,to relieve your mind. Every thing is lost, and, ' I , believe, there is no hope for us. Day before yesterday Valencia had a fight with the enemy, near Cohteras, and it was supposed he was victori ous i but ihe next morninjr he lost every thinr Yesterday some National Guards that were at San Antonia had a small fight and the battal ions of Hidalgo and Victoria, Polka troops Gentlemen soldiers, ran like cowards as also did the cavalry of the 1 1th and the 3d light infantry. This is a strange fatality, ancf it seems oitr troops are good for nothing buP boast, I only heard them cry; there comes the Yankees, overcome with terror- and rtm ning a. whole 'league without stopping, frorri which fact I have rib hope that resistance ean be fnade at the gates, as is intended ; you will see what will happen if a defence is attempted. They will all run and" their history wilt end. Ruperto saved himself, as he had the luck to run away in company with the " Victorias' and he is now safe with his dear aunt and quite tranquil. It appears tjuite impossible that 12,000 men under the command of Scott should have put to flight and entirely cowed 32,000 of our men. It confounds reason the fact is opposed to reason and almost incredible J" yet, strahge to say, it is true. This misfortune has no remedy, and the afTair must soon efid," and ,We can do nbtliihg.. Do iiof believe the thousand lies our troops may tell you, and of which they boast. You know tmt here (in Mexico) a thousand lies are tolq froni our next door neighbors therefore . how nrucbi more exaggerated - they will be when travel ling to you. Do hot be afflicted, but hoM all you hear at quarantine. Recommend four- . self to God and trust in him and he will take care of us. i , MARIA; . P. S..
