CHILE AND SPAIN.

In connection with the bombardment
of Valparaiso, the following notes which
we translate from a paper published in
that port, will give an idea of the ques-
ton at issue, and the turtle motives for
which Millions of property are destroyed,
trade paraIized, and the consequences of
which cannot be calculated.
Copy of a letter addressed previous 10
the blockade by General Fitzpatrick,
Minister Of the United States, TO The re-
representatives. in Chile, Of England,
France, Prussia, and Italy:
"Sir,-The unfortunate circumstances
that have brought on a state of hostilities
between Chile and Spain it appears will
still produce greater evils. Aware of this
fact, | called, extraordinarily on the Chile
Government some ten days ago, with the
object Of ascertaining whether it would
not be possible to come to an amicabIe
arrangement. This Government express
ed to me its wishes in favor of peace,
but without Indicating any practical
means Of obtaining it [ then called on
the Spanish Admiral with the object of
ascertaining what were his views. He
told me that if the Chile Government
addressed him a letter stating that there
was no intention Of often ding Spain in
the acts of which the Admiral complains,
he would act in the same sense that an
exchange Of prizes and prisoners might
take place, and that a simultaneous sa-
late should be fired, Chile firing the
first gun after which he, as Minister
for Spain, would be satisfied, and, as
C,,,;.h AIp,Srol bo 1,,o,Il ,v;tII.-. I
his forces.
Chile has refused these terms, consi-
dering them inadmissibIe. To-day [
have informed Admiral Mendez Nunez of
this refusal, after which he has issued a
Manifesto, a copy of which | beg to en-
close. This Manifesto signifies to the
Diplomatic Corps at Santiago, the Adj
miral's Intention to lombard and destroy
all the public buildings of Chile in Val
paraiso, fixing a term of four days so that
the non-combatants may leave The place.
To prevent an act as cruel as it is in
human to prevent the total destruction
of q town, whose inhabitants are chiefly
Europeans and North Americans, a town
entirely undefended, and this at the re-
quest Of the foreign representatives, [
deem it my duty to appeal to you re-
guessing your assistance.
1t is true that we have nothing to say
on the present difficulties pending be-
tween Chile and Spain but as repre-
sentatives ofedistant natienaliiies, we
have a great deal to say TO prevent the
total destruction of an undefended town,
