SPAIN AND CHILL.
The British Government detained tho
West India mail from the 17th to tho 18th
inst, in order that the Commercial Body
by the mail that had just arrived, and to
confer as to the steps requisite for the
protection OF British interests in C.iili.
Tho London Morning Post says: 1.-The
action OF the Spanish Government having
been anticipated in Liverpool, the mer-
chants connected with the West Coast
trade do not consider the blockade impor-
tant. They believe that they can carry
out copper ore from the blockaded ports
as we'll rs cotton was carried from the
Southern ports during the late war. 1t is,
therefore, not at all impossible that from
Liverpool there may issue as complete
fleet to run the Spanish blockade as there
was to run that OF the United States"
The confirmation OF the blockade OF the
Chlllan ports caused copper to advance
another f10 per tun, making total rise of
EGO in two days.
An influential meeting of merchants and
ship-owners, interested in the trade of the
ct not nf Il
pool on the 18th inst. The conduct of
Spain was strongly denounced for its buc-
canecrlng acts and general want OF DO
litical morality. a resolution was passed,
to the effect that the meeting viewed with
surprise and Indignation the COURSE pur-
sued by .he Spanish Admiral, and that a
memorial should he despatched to Lord
Clarendon, requesting the Government
should take prompt action for the protec-
ton of British interests. This resolution
having been unanimously adopted McsSrS.
Horsfall and Graves and the Chairman, c.
Turner. Esq. members Of Parliament for

deputation to present a memorial TO Lord
Clarendon on the morning the steamer
sailed.
1t is stated in Liverpool that blockade.
runners had been fitted out and that it
was quite probable some would sail on the
day the Scotia tcft Liverpool.
The Times SAYS the meeting at Liverpool
was one of the most influential commercial
meetings ever held in liverpool The
Times in Il leader declares that the interest
of every kingdom in Europe, as well as
every republic in America, demands that
the complaints Spain had made against
Chill should be authoritatively rebukcd
England, France and the United States
cannot suffer that the rights OF neutral
nations should be tramplcd on. In face of
these dangers it is time to have done with
the miserable setshness of an absolute
noE-intcrfcrence. A joint remonstrauce of
the Great Powers cannot fail to recall the
Spanish Government to the consideration
OF legal principles, which it seems to have
forgotten, to the reparation Of wrongs
which it has too hastily authorized.
FRANCE.
La France contains an article dirccte
against the rumors of intended territorial
notifications attributed to the Emperor
The writer says France does not seek any
territorial aggrandizement; she has no
desire whatever to reconstruct the map of
Europe; but if other great powers wish to
overthrow for their own profit the map of
Europe, France would be compelled to
fortify her defensive positions, to take
precautions, and secure her own safety,
while re-establishing an equilibrium which
would restore to her those guarantees tho
changes elsewhere might have destroyed.
An Imperial decree had been published
reducing the French army by about 40, 900
men. The reduction will take place at the
expiration OF the various terms Of service,
until the strength of the various regiments
have reached the limit fixed by the decree.
The suppression Of the rebellion i'll
Algeria was progressing favorably.
The Paris Bourse on the 17th November
was fiat. Rentes closed at G8f. 35c.
Tho Pdt,1e says Marshal Magenta will
shortly proceed to Austria. The same
journal asserts that Spain is not unlikely
to accept the mediation OF third power
in the affair with Chill.
