NAVAL ENGAGEMENT.

NEW YORK, April l.-0ficial reports oi
the late naval battle of the Island of Chloe
show the loss of the allies, Chile and Peru,
to have been three killed on the corvette
Union, which also had her steam chest
pierced, while the America was hulled four
times and the Opurimac three times There
is no reliable account of the loss OF the
Spaniards, though the Valparaiso papers
say it n ust have been great, as the Spanish
vessels were knocked to pieces and dead
bodies were seen floating about afterwards.
This is probably extravagant fancy. Great
rejoiCings were had at Lima over this VIC
tory.
The formation of the alliance between
Eequador, Chile, Bolivia and Peru and the
success thus far attending their cause had
filed the people with enthusiasm.
GILLIAN COAL QUESTION.
The Spanish Commander still insists upon
treating Chilian coal in neutral vessels as
contrabands of war.
THE NoNADNocK AT VALPARAISO.
The United States monitor Monadnock
had arrived at Valparaiso. Also, the steam
ers Vanderbilt, TuscarOra and Powhattan.
The ManadnOck had behaved very well
in rounding the Horn.
A letter written by Capt Stanley, of the
Tusearora, states that in the heaviest gales
and weather which he encountered red-when,
in fact, he had as much as he could do to
attend to the safety of his own vessel, with
out attending to the vessels entrusted to his
care-thei ck behaved in a splendid
manner, making better weather than any
vessel of the convoy, and that there was
no time during the fercest part of
the gale that sic could not have
fought her guns against any ship. In fact,
it would be perfect madness 70 admit, to
engage a vessel under such disadvantage,
for gale is an advantage to the Monad-
mock in fight. The Tusearora will remain
to watch the turn of affairs in Chile.

angelic ministers all around me, it seems as
though company of angels were all about
me to bear up my sinking spirit" Then
after pause he said: l have been trying
to recall if there is any human being on
earth whom have intentionally vronged
