THE PRIvATEERING PANIC.
from the London Shipping Gazette, Feb.
A letter from Cadi2 OF the 3lst ult. says
We learn from Bilbao Barcclon and other ports, as
well here that great conformation exists among the
shipping interest IN consequence OF the appearance OF
Chilean cruisers in spanish waters and that the promise
of the government to pursue them "A promise made in
circular the authorizes OF all the seaporsgives nte
or no confidence A shipowner Of Bilbao, who Is now

age which prvateers do to Spain is immense
The principal commerce this country is done with
Cuba Puerto Rico and the Philippine Islands, and a
dozen priyateers will be able to destroy entirely and
in so doing, to gain enormous sums. The wealth OF
those islands is almost fabulous C.ba and Puerto
Rico alone contribute 30 900 900 pasres annually clear
o. all deduction, to Tue spanish Treasury; aud the
Spanish officials in the Islands, from governors down TO
Office porters pocket at least The triple of that sum- and
yet islands continue 10 do trade which enrches IN
way another more than threefourths of the mer
chants in this country.
