The captain of a bark from Marine lslanS
saws that, on the 9th of May, he witnessed
from the top of hill on one of the islands
battle between two Chillian and three Span
ish vessels but could not learn the result o
the fight owing to sudden STORM HAVING
| arisen.
The Valparaiso papers attach no import
ance to the news but, on the contrary, eonsld

bought were near home and news has ye
reached Valparaiso of said vessels there is resso

poorly armed and manned and might easily hav
been caught at a disadvantage by regular war We:
