CHII.-Advces from Panama to Dec. 22d,
represent the ChiIian coast as the scene Of STIR
ring events A naval engagement occurred ou
November 26 b. of the port of Papudo, about
forty miles distant from Valparaiso, between a
Spanish gunboat and the Chilian war steamer
Esmcralda. and after ceuibat of half an hour
the guuboat surrendered. Another naval con.
fct resulted 10 the capture Of au armed launch
and 40 men by the Chiliaus. The issue of these
two fights caused, of course, great rejoicing
throughout the Republic. In Peru, the new
Government met with the cordial and undivi.
ded support of all classes. The hope is enter.
tanned that Spain will abandon her foolish
purpose to make war upon Chill. When the
blockade of the Peruvian coast was announced
il made sensation in Europe, especially in
England. Public opinion was not favorable to
that measure and its effects are seen 10 the con.
trolling influence exerted over susceptible Spain.
All the questions at issue between that monar.
cby and Chill have been referred to England
and France, and terms will probably be ar.
ranged without much trouble.
