LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1866.

--,P.-

We learn by telegram from Madrid that the
Spaniards have at length decided upon abandoning
the contest with the South American Republics. In
spite of the unscrupulous and barbarous manner in
which her commanders have been instructed to
carry on the war, in spite of the bombardment of a
defencless city, the destruction of neutral property,
and the arrogant assumption wiih rendered it
impossible for Chili to come to terms without
abject humiliation—in spite of all this Spain has
been forced to abandon the contest in which at
first sight the advantages appeared so greatly
on her side. Iro extort from the thriving
little Republics the means of recruiting the
exhausted exchequer of Madrid has evidently
been for some time past a favourite scheme with
Spanish politicians. Their first attempt with Peru
and the Chincha Islands was so far successful
that it encouraged them to make an attack
upon the liberties and independence of Chili.
The excuses which the Spaniards brought
forward for the quarrel were so slight and
frivolous that it was evident, from the very
first, that their purpose was to pick a quarrel
with Chili, with the object of obtaining some
material advantages from her enforced submis-
sion. Happily the gallantry and determination
of the Chilians has been the means of defeating
them. Though they had no reason to expect any
assistance from the Great Powers, though they had
learned by the painful experience of other countries
that a small state may be seized upon and dismem-
bered without any active interference on the part of
bystanders, yet the Chilians promptly and unani-
mously resolved that they would defend the honour
and independence of their nation to the very last.
The Government was firm and resolute, and
it was fully supported by the populace. Be-
fore long Peru allied herself to her neighbour,
and both together resolved not only to defend I
themselves against the present attack, but never to
lay down arms until they had obtained some
security that Spain would in future respect the in-
dependence of the Republics. How far they have
succeeded in th,
La purpose we have yet to
see, but at any rate we have the intelligence
from Madrid that the Minister of Marine on Friday
declared in the Senate that the Pacific expedition I
was at an end. The bombardment of Valparaiso I
has brought them no permanent advantan., . in
fact what they gained in Chili they
lost'' in
Peru, and their discomfiture at Callao more than
compensated for their temporary triumph at Val-
paraiso. Since the matter was so nearly at an
end
how much it is to be regretted that the English and
American commanders should not have refused to
permit the destruction of the city. The matter
was virtually in their bands, for the Spanish com-
mander would never have dared to embroil his
Government with England and America without
instructions. hey need not have fired a shot if
they had resolutely remained in the harbour and
defended the town by their px:esence. As it is
we have given the world another proof of our
timidity and hesitation, we have suffered great in-
