The news from South America indicates that
events ofan important character are likely to
transpire at any moment The Spanish block
ade has been raised at all the Chilean parts
except Valparaiso, at whsss place the vessels Of
the Spanish feet have been concentrated. II
is reported that the purpose of this eonccnrn-
ton is the bombardment of the city. Such an
act might be stimulated by the wild passl ons
recently excited in Span in thisquarrel-h,r it
would be q purposeless, useless act Of savage
fury. It could accomplish no legitimate object
Of war; and it would Iet evensa be q blow at the
Chileans, since the chief part Of the city,
is mainly owned By, foreigners American,
British, and German mercantile houses have
extensive establishments there, and these
would be the real sufferers by bombardment.
Such an act, while it wOalf be useless, in
human and unjust, could hardly increase the
reputation of its perpetrators for courage, SAGE
Valparaiso is not a fortified place, and has not
q single gun with which ii could answer the
Spanish fire.
The Spanish feet is new Under the command
of Nunez who succeeded Pareja in virtue Of
one. WhatevcT'orderss naxy have beers given
to Pareja, it is 1T least doubtful whether his
successor would he authorized to execute them,
while the act which advanced Nunssr TO his
present position is one that night very
properly cause hsn TO hesitate iAr taking
an extreme step. Any moderate iaan in the
circumstances woaid certainly waittor orders
and the appointments of another commander.
Dut there is reason to fear that Nunez regards
the present occasion us an opportunity to be,
improved before the arrival Of = newly az,
pointe admiral shall deprive him of it, ard!
this may hurry him forward to- . rash AIT

Spain will consider it tsnau expiatlon.
/ In the British speech from the throne it Il
said, 1tAe good Offices aGs the government. in
conjunction with those of. the Emperor of Tho

the hope ID expresssa, "that the csnss ox dis
agreement may be removed in q manner hon
Orable and satisfactory to both Countries"
This acceptance Of tho French and English me-
diation looks like o return TO reason On the
part Of Spain; and If the Admiral now on
his way to ASSUME command of the Spanish
| feet in the Pacific has received orders
in harmony with the spirit that induced
that acceptance there is still chance that
