From Our Special Correspondent
VALPARAISO, Oct. u, 1855
Everything considered there is but little change to re-
port in Chan politics The principal feature OF the past
two weeks if common report at the capital is TO DO De-
loved is the Ango.French mediation which has been
offered 10 and accepted by this Government
The proposals of the medaoTs said TO be these ISL

peace may be Gdusted 3D. Inc behgeIents 10 remain nam

already arrived, since Don MaTci0 Martinez, Chhan
Charge d'Aflares at Lima arrived here by the last
steamer and ia known TO nave conferred with PRESIDENT
Perez and his Cabinet matters of great Importance
but the result of this interview the answer OF inc
Peruvian Government-has not yet been gwen 70 inc
public. Nevertheless the vital question oil peace o. war
has undoubtedly reached critical stage IN the deDeIa-
tions of the allied Governments
In the former offer of mediation on the part OF the
Western Powers Chill undoubtedly appeared TO advantage
When England and France invited her 10 make peace
before the bombardment Of VaparalSoshe ava not hes
tate 10 enter into negotiations; but, unfortunately inc
hasty and outrageous Commandment Of this port by the
Spanish authorities interpOsed an iuunuble obstacle 10
all honorable arrangement. o,n,
the head of the Peruvian Government has sent an indig
nant refusal Of the medaton and that the formal rJeC
ton has already arrived here. If this is true, may look
tho SPANISH fleet. And cuuOuy

with more vgof and dispatch, Valparaiso is but niue
better adapted 10 resist bombadmeh than she was 's
Nav The public opinion with regard TO the wPr here Is
dcut 10 snalvze one thing IS certain md that H. that
no single newspaper in Chill has yet dared 70 ask io
peace which would seem 70 argue strong puDe feeling
IN f,yor of continuing the war Commercial interests
here elsewhere, naturally .enu s.i1nsg 10 lDaIe' 1
Vay but the Iuasses who really constitute the nation
apparently regard the rise and fall Of prices OF little
moment compared 10 the honor OF the country.
In summing up the considerations on both sides | am
disposed 10 think that the existing uncertainty regarding
the relations between the begerent Powers Is likely 10
continue for some time.
About week ago a mutiny occurred board Of the
Peruvian corvette Union. Commodore Tucker, com
naDder of the allied Peruvian and Chhan fleets, Is UNI
popular with many Of tho Peruvian officers, account OF
the rigorous discipline which he eAoTccs subordinate
officer who happened TO be IN charge OF the Union at the
time took advantage Of this feeling among the Peruyiaus
aud melting revolt among the crew, seized tho SNIP
trpped anchor aud endeayored 10 out 20 and re-
ever detected in time and boats dispatched TO regain the
ship Perceivng themselves detected, the utpeen took
TO their boats deserted tho corvette and gantd The
shore. Here they subsequently arrested by the po
lice and placed in irons This mutiny would not have
been zed by any feature OF special importance
