From ValDaraisn.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-Files of Valparaiso and San
ago papers have been received by the steamer Henry
Chauncey. from Aspinwal, dowu:to the 10th of jan
uary. The news of the rumored mediation of France
and England in the Spanish-Chilian war had not
been regarded with much favor in Chilli, or deemed
of great importance. 1t not expected that Spain
would voluntarily relnGuish her pretensions.
An acrimonious diplomatic quarrel is going on be-
tween Chilli and Uruguay. The latter power refuses
to allow Chilian privateers bring Spanish prizes
they may capture into her ports, and determines to
maintain strict neutrality during the war; The in
terehange of notes continued until the offended sUri-
guayan government revoke ed the exequatur of the
Chilian minister and issued decree prohibiting the
arrival and sale of prizes, and threatening with Sc
penalties all who should infringe upon the neu-
trality laws.
The approaching retirement of Mr.. Nelson, United
States Minister to Chill, is much regretted He was
senior member of the diplomatic corps His remon-
STRANGE with the Spanish Admiral it belived saved
the city of Valparaiso from bombardment

tween the port blockadng force and the Chlian gar
rison. Three assaults were repulsed
