The reported appearance of privateers of tho
Spanish coast bearing Chan colors excited consider
able attention. TAs london Times says; The reported
appe srance of two ron-cad fgates bearing The Gillian
nag IN Spanish waters may prove the beginning OF n
new cOutroy ersy the duties of neutrality A few
davs ago the Spanish Minister called tie attention Of
our Government to the alleged building Of vessels in
the Thames for the naval service OF Chill In eODse
quence, no doubt of this intmatiou, Commander Tow
sey sent down TO GreenhiIhe by the Admiralty at
| the end of last week. 20 inspect an ron.cad ram.
called the Inlependencia recently launched by tho
Thames lronworks Company at Blackwall, and then
mOored Off Greeuhithe pier. He found her most for
Misunderstanding vessel equipped with raklnG battery Of
guns and PROV similar 10 that OF Her MaJestys ship,
Pala with engines ofG0Jhorse power He also observed
1.-THE officers and men actively engaged in shipping
war materials and stores OF all descriptions and arge
Dumler o. seamen OF various nations crowdng the pier
in readiness TO join her.. Al this of course looked
very suspicious, but the ship had been nomnalv Dut
.or the Peruvian, and not for the Gillian Government.
and Capt Towsey declared that he had 10 authority tn
stop her. Perhaps the lndcpendencia may be rally
prised If we next hear OF her off CaGz where vessels
suspected of being Chian piyateers had been hovein
weeks before the two r0nclads mentioned by
Spanish correspondent hove III sight so lnoxpect
edly. In short, it seems highly probable that Chill is
about 10 follow the example OF the southern States and
that in the event OF the war being prolonged Spanish
and ShenaDd0ahs issuing from neutral pQrs.
II so happens that great many vessels
tons against the South have lately beea sold by he
