Spanish Outrage in Peru.

We have witnessed, since the outbreak
OF the Rebellion, series Of aggressive acts
committed by European Governments
against the States of the American CONT
ncnt. Among those rbe Mexican Expedi.
tion and the subsequent proclamation Of
the Mexican Empire the suhjugation by
Spain Of the Republic Of San Domingo !:
the conduct Of England against The En-.
peror Of Brazil. We have now to add
to these acts another, hardly inferior to
any of those already Damed-the conduct
of The Spanards towards Peru A SPECIAL
Embassador of Spain to Peru not having
been able TO settle difficulty between the
two Governments to his own satisfaction,
the Admiral of the Spanish feet off Peru
at once, without any previous declaration
of war, seized the Chincha Islands, made
prisoners of the Governor and the officers
of the Islands, aud captured Peruvian
transport with its officers. He then even
made an attempt to surprise and capture
the Peruvian squadron in the port Of Cal
lao, but this was fortunately frustrated.
Sill more strange than these seiznres i:
the declaration by which the Admiral tries
TO justify his course Among the consider
ations which be says have led him TO occu
py the Islands be mentions that the inde.
peudence OF Peru had never been recog
nized by SPUN, aud that the Government
OF Peru has recently borrowed seventy
millions OF dollars, sum greatly 10 exces:
OF the requirement Of the treasury.
These systematic outrages upon the
weaker Powers Of the American continen,
are too significant to pass upnoticed, and
must speedily result in league among
those States for self-defense. The fate ol
Mexico is warning they can not fail tc

20 our left, and an attack was to have hcen
made at day light, but no sound Of battle

place our forces in l. c's rear, and compel
him 10 retreat toward Lynchburg No
cannon nor any sound of battle was heard
yesterday, at Belle Plain or Frcdericks-
bnrg, which affords ground for inference
that Lee had retrcated during Friday night

Of course, will not fail to read it.
FonrREss MoSRoE, May Q, 1862.
lfv Dear SIR: have just assisted the
Secretary of war in forming the part of q
dispatch to you, relating to army corps,
which dispatch, of course, will have reach
ed you long before this will | wish to say
few words to you privately on this sub
jGct ordered the army corps organzl
ion not only on the unanimous opinion of
the twelve Generals of divisions, but also
on the unanimous opinion OF every military
man ! could get an opinion from, and every
modern military book, yourself only except
ed. Of course, | did not on ms own judg-
ment pretend to understand the subject. |
now think it iudi di,pensable for you TO know
how your struggle against it is received in
quarters which we cannot entirely dlsrc-
gard. 1t is looked upon as merely an eff
fort to paWper one or two pets, and to per
secue aud degrade thor supposed Iivals
| have had no word from Sumner, Hent.
zeman or Keves The commanders of
these corps are of course the three highest
oficers with you, but am constantly told
that you have no consultation or communi.
cation with them, that you consult and
c"mmuncu'e with nobody but FIz John
Porter, aud erbapS General Franklin.
do not say these complaints are true or
just; but, at oil events, it is proper you
should know of their existence Do the
commanders of corps disobey your orders
III any thing?
When you relieved General Hamilton Of
bis command the other day, you thereby
lost the confidence of at least one of your
best friends in the Senate. And here let
me say. not as applicable to you personally
taat Senators and Representatives speak Of
me in their places as they please without
question, aud that officers of the army must
cease addressing insulting letters TO them
for taking 10 greater liberty with them.
But to return, are you stl ong enough, even
with my help to set your foot upon the
neck of Sumner, HeDtzclman aud KeyeS,
all at once! This is practical and very
serious question for you. Yours truely.
