Under the favor of God the valor of this army, after many glorious victo ries,.had hloisted the colors of our coun try in the capital of Mexico and on the palace of.its Government. 2. *But the war is not ended. The Mexican army and Government have fled, only to watch an opportunity to return upon us in vengeance. We must then be upon our guard. 3. Companies and regiments will be kept together, and all stand on the alert, Our safety is in military discipline. 4. Let there be no drunkness, no dis orders and no struggling. Stragglers will be in great danger of assassination, and marauders shall be piunished by courts martial. 5. All the rules so honorably observed by this glorious army in Puebla must be observed here. The honor of the army and the honor of our country call for the best behavior on the part of all. The valliant must, to win the ap probation of God and country, be sober, orderly and merciful. His noble breth ren in arms will not be dead to this hasty appeal from their commander and friend. 6. Maj. Gen. Quitman is appointed Civil.and Military Governor of the city of Mexico. By command of Maj. Gen. Scott H. L. SCOT T, A, A. A. G. Two days after he issued the follow ing additional orders : General Orders.-No. 286. Sept. 16, 1847.

The en ny, though scattered and dismayed has still iany fragments of his late army hoe ring abour us, and aided by an eraspe !i4!ed population, he may again reunite in treble our numbersand fall upon us to advantage if we rest inactive on the security of past victories. Compactness, vigilari-.e and discipline are, therefore, our only securities. Let every goud officer and nmn look to these cautions and] enjoin them upon all others. By command of Maj. Gen. Scott. . I]. L. SCOTT, A.- A. A. G. By the way of' Tampico we have a letter, kindly forwarded to us, dated Ozuluania, October 3,-The letter is'so -brief we give it here : OZULUAMA, Oct. 2. When you requested me to give you news-froi Mexico, there wat nothing nore thtan whlat you- were acquainted with regarding thc capture of the city and abhlough thecy are still very menagte and doubtful. 1 anm goitng to tell you whlat we have Iearned by letter fronm Pachiuca. Gen. Santa Anna is-in Tlascala with only 500 cavalry, and it is said (thiough 1 do not believe it) that he is going to Central America. Gen. leri era is gone' to Queretaro t o organise the G..overnment. Gen. liustamente .is said to be direct, hinseif upon Mexico wvith the national guard of Guanajuato and other places. &t seems there are two paer pub. lished inMexico in Spanishi and .English, The post is to be re.estnblishied; Gen. Sctt has imposed a contribation on the corp)ortionl of $15,000, payable in three weeks in instalments of $50;000. To this letter we have a postcript written-by another hand': * TAMIco; Oct. 7. Gen. Sata Anna wvent on the 14th September to Toluta, 14 leagues from Guadalupe, with ai remnant of his larmy -in his carr iage-I sawv him enter it. -A POLANDER. That Santa Ann'a shtould be at Tlasca aas- represented in thte letter of the 3d,is altogethler probable. Tlascala is north of Pueblo, and about twenty' miles distant. Move directly east from Tlascalaand you stiike the road to Perote iri iess than twenty- miles:- He is near enough to threaten our traies,but not strong enotigh to effect much. Many mote deserteas have been hung but the reader will be grieved -t.o hear that Riley escaped that punisnment on some ground, and was only floggedl. All will'be glad to hiear- that tho American prisoners, Capt. Clay aid others, hav*e joined Gen. Scott, .ixtract of a letter from a foreigner to a . commercial house, - MEXicO, Sept. 28. On the 6th the armistice was suddenly broken off, in consequEnce of Gen. Scott. having considered it infringed, and Wre therefore demanded an apology or that that hostilities should commenceon ,the 7th at 12 o'clock. But nothing was done until the 8th, when a battle commenced in front of Chapultepec, which -was warmly contested by both parties. The A moricans had to retire with a lois of 800 or 1000, the Mexican lobs was also considerable, but- you well kino* *he difliculty of ascertaining correctly. They lost, Gen. Leon, of Oajaca, and Gen. Balderas, both brave cititen soldiers, they died heroically, leading on theit troops. The battle was fought princi pally by the National Guard, the regular army having fled in the early parf of the action; and in truth, in all the affdirs up to the abandoning of the city they have shown themselves perfectly worthless.., On the 12ih at break of day the Americans commenced cann'onading Chapultepec, which continued the whole day. On the 13* h they commenced firing again, and kept it up from 5 till 9 A. M.; then they succeeded in taking the castle, and immediately followed up their victory to the garitas of the city, where they met with a most obstinate resistance and did not enter tliat.nighty but on the morning of the 14th the American army commenced entering the city and at 7 their flag was waving over the palace, or what the Yankees- have called the "Halls of Montezumas," At 12 o'clock the previous night Santa Anna with all his troops left the city, leaving the inhabitants at the mercy of the invading army, and before daylight. the place was entirely plundered by-thed leperos and prisoners of the ex-Accoida da who-had escaped or bgen let''ose. At 7 o'<lock partial shots were heard in the city, fired by the inhabitants.b o e' American army as iywas . .ieringt soon jecame a brisk fire, andc niu pretty severe , during,- th a Americans ght most* bra - pluiideo osehousesfr -6 it p . perty. e trop sWe-e u exaspe rated, -nd I can scarcely blame themn. The following day firing ceased,although. some partial excesses were committed. On the IGib, things werb a little res tored to peace and tip to to day l;ive become still more tranquit. On Mon daythe 20th, a few of the shops opened, yet most ol the principal ones are still closed1 as the want of confidence is great. The Mexican population'are far from being' satisfied, and there is every reason to believe a reaction will take place. Gen. Scott is taking great precautton to prevcnt outrages, and I must say,to the credit of the Anmericans, that they have beha'cd with'nuch nore prudende than could have hen expected under existia circumstances and the inUf osit'ah r'c ception they mct with, It is'a pretty well known fact with us tlmt the Ameri can army hav'e lost siince thdny left Pure ila, in killed, wounded, and death frnm fatigue and cthecr causes, about 4000 mcri,-and tipwards of 170 comnmissioned offcrs, yet their r'eal loss 1 dannot posi tively state, Assassinations are datily committed in the barrios (suburbi)"on the stramggling soldiers. At 8 o'clock at right all is quiet, and there i~s nor a soul to be seen in the streets; avinadows and dooi-s are shut' and biarric-ded,-and the ladies keep in both night and day, and our once merry city at ars a sombre as pect ; the trail of the serpent is evident ly over it. Gen. Seott has~ declared martial lawv, and enforces it strittly'., in1 relation to the Alexican army,- I cani merely give you the rum'ors :some say they have gone to Queretaro, under the conmand of Herrera, where the Gov enent will form itself. Santa Anna is thought to be in the neighborhood of Peblia with 2000 cavalry, and it is said Gov. Childi'has-fortifie'd himself en tha heights of Loretto, whlich you know comnmands the city. There are tmany other rumors, wvhich may be true, but they are two vague and indefinite to! trouble you with. Onze thing, however, is certain;-wve are evidently' in, a-inost critical position,, and God -only know' What will be the result.

Gen. Qfiitraan; stppojte'd by Gen. Smith's brig/ddtook the road by the Chapu'tepec atuiduct towards the Belon gte and .t CiGaddli; Gen.

Gen. Quit man's command, after the route at Chapultep!c, was the first to encounter the enemy in force. Midway between the former and the Belen gate, Santa Anna ha:d constructed a strong work, bnt this was at once vigorously assaulted by Gen. Quitmin, and aidded by a f1ank fire from two of Duncan's guns, which I Gen. Worth had ordered to approach as i near as possible from the Sari Cosme 4 road, theeneny was again routed and in' i full fight. They again made a starid I from their strod'g fortifrcations at and I near the Belen garita, opening a tre- I mendous fire not only of round shut, I grape and shell, but of musketry ; yet boldly Gen. Quitman advanced, stormed < and carried the wofks, alth-ough at grea< loss, and then every point on this ,:'le I the city was in our possession. In this I onslaught two of our braves officer were killed-Capt Drun and Lieut, Benja min. Meanwhile Gen. Worth was rapidly advancing upon San' Cosn.e. At the English butyinrg ground the enemy had constructed a strong work. It was de fended by infantry for a short time, but could not resist the. assault of our men -tite affrighted ILexicanslsoon fled to I another line of works nearer the city, and thus Gen. Worth was in pbssession I of the itrance to San Cosme. As his men . dvariced' towards the garita, the enemy jopa heavy fire of musketry from the house 6'Ips, yell as of grape, canrister and sh'll frony'tieir-ko aIteries, thus sweeping the streets completI. - At thisjuncture the old Monterey gani, of burrowing and digging through rte houses, was ado pted. On the right, as our men' faced the enem'y, the aqueduct .af'orded a' "partial shelter; on the left, the. houses gave some protection ;_ but Manv were still lkille'd or obnud'ed by the grape whih'sdrept ev I ptas co te work 'fielgik axe and the croti-bar, under* ire direc tion of Lieur.

I'n this latter daring feat, four men out ofeight were either killed or wounded, but still ite piece was most effective.y s'erled.' The work of tihe Miners'was'still going on. In one house %% hichl they hail entered, b' the pick-axe a favorito' aid' of Santa Anna's was found. The great man Hiad just fled, but had left his friend and his su;pper'! Both were well cared for-the latter was devoured by ou hungry offleers; the fC-rmr, after doing the honors of te table, was mada a cla~ss pV-ioner.
