amount collected furnishes q wide margin
for q lobby fund, 70 use upon Congress, TO
prevent action.
The Tribune this morning publishes two
further dispatches from Mr.. Seward 70 Mr..
Adams. In the first the Secretary Of State
reieEs 10 the antieipations on the part Of the
European governmental Of retaliatory meas
ures. He again reviews the grievances Of
the United States against Great Britain, as
we'll eslculsted 10 produce an expectation Of
retaiistory measures, but deprecates any
intention on the part Of the United States
to 60 into war on account Of these grievances.
More important is another dispatch Of
March lst, communicating 10 Mr.. Adams a
copy Of q dispatch in cipher, from a rebel
emisssry in Canata to JED. Davis. 1t gives
an account Of the endeavors OF the rebel
agents IN London and Paris TO hDd out in
what time assistance and recognition could
be obtained. II seems that these SCENTS
were instructed 20 intimate thRtan srmistics
might be concluded between the two bellig-
erent parties in North America for the pur-
pose Of undertaking, conformity, q foreign
wsr-for instance, for the expulsion OF the
French from Mexico.
The hint was treated in England in the
usual unsatisfactory, non-committsl man
Der, but IN France II at once met with the
declaration that no such alliance could be
permitted that the Emperor would resist
any attempt 10 enforce the Monroe doctrine,
n that il il could be made sure that the
Federal Government was p%ersuading such a
course, France would promptly recognize the
Southern independence.
Official reports of the late naval battle of
the Island OF Chilae show the loss Of the al
lies (Chilians and Peruvians) TO have been
three men killed on the corvette Union,
which also had its steam-chest pierced !;
while the American was hulled four times
and the Apurmsc three times. There IL no
reliable account Of the loss oithe S~Paniards,
though the Valparaiso papers say Unjust
have been great, as the spanish ships were
knocked to pieces and dead bodies were seen
floating about afterward'. This IS probably
an extraysgant story. There was great re-
Joicing at Lima over the victory.
The formation OF the alliance between
Ecuador, Chill, Bolivia, and Peru, and the
success thus far attending their cause, had
filled the people with enthusiasm.
The Spanish commander still insists upon
treating Chilian coal in neutral vessels as
cOntrsband Of war.
The United States Monitor had arrived at
Valparaiso, Chilli. Als1 the steamers Van
der6Ilt, Tuscarors, and Powhattan. The
Monitor had behaved very well in rounding
the horn.
A letter written By Capt. Stanley, of the
Tusearora, states that in the heaviest
weather and gales that they encountered,
when in fact he had Just as much as he
could do to attend to the safety of his own
ship without attending to the vessels en-
trusted 10 his care, the Manadnoek behaved
in q splendid manner, making better wealth
er than any vessel Of the convey, and that
there was no time during the fercest part Of
the gale that the Manadnockc could not have
fought her guns with any ship. In fact, it
would DO perfect madness TO attempt to en-
gage q vessel under such disadvantages,
Ior a gale Is an advantage to the monitor in
a fight. The Tuscarors will remain to
watch the turn affairs in Chilli.
