«The Now York Sun, whose Kditor spent

the last winter in Mexico, and is "at home"

in and about the city, gives the following description of iho battle field, and of the envi

rons of Mexico: "Gen. Scott, it appears, passed around Santa Anna'a tremendous forts at Penon, as wo predicted he would, and appronched ihe city

bv the Tacubstya road. Our personal knowledge of the roads leads us to believe thai part of the story, it no oth*r. Once over the hills at Penon, he had a direct road to iho Capital, by way of Tacubiya, which is a beautiful vtll.ige composed of !he fashionable residences of iho merchants and banker#, the palaco of the archbishop «&c., two or three miles from ihe city, is just audi a place as General Scott would find himself at homo in. Near it is the "Royal Hill," where Montezuma and the Spanish Viceroys had their tlaccs. The cattle of the Viceroys is now used for a Military School, and in the g-trden grows a noble Cypress tree—'Montezuma's Cypress,* it ia.i called—fifty-one feet in circumfer. nee. That tree, with others in the same vicinity, was planted in t?ie time of the Aztec Emperors, and bids fair to grow several centuries yet.— (lad it speech, what startling facts ond instiuctive lessons it could give—how full of in

slructton fo mankind Under the grateful shade of those Cypress tress at Tacubaya, Gen. Scott and his army had beforo them the whole of that great valley, with all its unrivalled attractions, beautiful scenery and varied reminiscences. The view extends nearly one hundred miles in a circuit, the mountains in the distance constituting the frame of the sublime picture. The city of Mexico beino within cannon range, and the acqueducts

tiie Cathedral, where he can participate in religious services everyday of the week."
