REPORT OF TEE

Committee appointed at a General Meet
ing Of D.i'ish sab cts, held il Valparaiso
on the 23th Of March, 1856, to frame
Resolutions and TO submit them TO an
Adjourned meeting to BE- held on the
20th March:
Resoloed, l. That the statement of facts read
at the meeting this day by Mr.. Hague be here
by adopted as a true and impartial narrative.
2. That this meeting cannot too severely
censure the vacilating conduct Of Rear-Admi-
raj Denman, in having given to the British
community of Valparaiso positive assurances
that he would interfere by force, if necessary,
to prevent a general bombardment, and after
wards retracting the same, thus causing the
loss of much valuable time which might have
been proftably employed in securing safety to
life and property.
3. That this meeting cannot but condemn
Rear-Admiral DGnmQn'S conduct as i~nconSiS-
tent with correct ideas of that neutrality which
he stated he had strict orders to observe, mas
much as while he denies to the British commu-
nifty of Valparaiso the protection of the forces
under his command, he did not hesitate to de-
tach one of the ships of his squadron for the
protection of Spanish Commissaries, contra
band of war in Peruvian waters, who left Val
p~araiso for the North in the mail steamer hence
on the 18th instant.
4. That ~Rear-Admiral Denman's plea of
want of sufficient force to oppose the Spaniards
Is humiliating to his countrymen and inexcusa-
bic, considering that the cooperation of a
powerful United States squadron was pressed
upon him by it's commanders, and that this
meeting cannot express in sufficiently strong
terms its indignation that such an ~atrocity as
the bombardment of a defenceless town with a

THE COMMANDMENT OF VALPARAISO.

The news we publish to-day of the lombard
ment of Valparaiso by the Spanish fleet, will
be received in Europe and the United States
with feelings of the deepest Indignation and re-
greet. The most prosperous city on the West
ern- Continent of South America has been laid
in ruins, millions of property destroyed thou
sands of families left destitute, the commerce
of the most fourishing republic en- the coast
broken up, and ali because Chile refused to
salute the Spanish flag as an apology Tor some
trif1ing imaginary or actual insult against Span
ish honor. We will not now enter into the
merits of the quarrel between Spain and Chile.
At best it had it's origin in a paltry dispute
which might have been very easily settled at
the outset, a personal s~Quabble between the
two governments more about u matter OF ell
quette than real principle, but which has led
to the most disastrous results to the interests
of thousands of innocent. foreigners residing III
or trading with Chile. No one could have be-
lieYed it possible that Spain could have so de-
graded herself as to have instructed her armed
fleets to destroy in such q WantOn, Wholesale
manner so defenceless a port as that of Val
paraisO, the more so as the bulk Of the property
and a very large portion Of the population were
entirely foreign, and in no way mixed up with
the dispute between the two contendng parties.
1t was one of the most heartleSS acts Of cruelty
and brutality we have ever heard of, an act
which will brand Spain with infamy for many
a long year to ONE, and be handed down to
po%sterity as one Of the blacklist pages in the
black and blood-stained history of that already
too VIGOROUSLY bloody country. We fear the
destruction of Valparaiso, is but the commence
ment of the repetition Of Spanish yindictive-
ness and outrage on this coast. From the first
discovery Of this Continent to the present time
IL, sNoAus-L r 4I.-G ---s FL
stamped in desolation and blood, and no adj
yancement in science or civilization appears
able to remove the curse which hangs over that
degraded country. We Will wait with the
deepest interest to learn what the civilized
world will say in regard to this browning act
of cruelty, and to see what steps Great Britain
and the United States will take to obtain re-
dress for this wanton destruction of the pro-
perty Of their subjects and citizens,

COMMANDMENT OF VALPARAISO BY THE
SPANISH FLEET.
DESTRUCTION OF TWENTY
OF PROPERTY.
Non-intervention of Foreign vessels of War.

The following correspondence gives q
full summary of events on the Coast =
CHILE.-It is a difficult task to write
calmly and dispassionately in sight of the
smoking ruins of Valparaiso, the finest and
most prosperous city of the West Coast, des-
troyed in Spanish revenge. Till the diabolical
work had commenced, and we saw the Spanish
vessels raining shot and shell into the places,
none could have thought it possible to be per-
petrated we had a defenceless city-we had
not a gun to return fire, or a vessel to stand by
us but the Spaniards drew close in shore,
within 1900 yards from the town, to save all
trouble of aiming, and that the men of the
squadron might by point blank firing on the
town before them, do as much damage as pos
sible. In every breadth, foreign no less than
CHILEAN feelings of Indignation which words
cannot express are aroused by this outrage ON
civilization feelings which will be fully sym
pathized with by English and American men
at home. From Is to 20 millions worth of pro-
perty is destroyed, nearly all of which belonged
to British, American and other foreign mer-
chants and all the commercial parts of the
town, custom houses, government buildings,
public offices, railway station, foreign houses
which year by year had been extending and
prospecting, the more that the Spanish element
