Diplomatic Correspondence Between the
American Minister and the Chilean Governs
ment.
VALPARAISO, April g. 1865.
The only item OF news that has transpired here
since my letter of the Sd inst. has been the pubca
tion OF late diplomatic correspondence between our
Minister, General Fitzpatrick and the Chlean govern
nent respecting the Spanish-American question. AS
viii be seen by this correspondence SPAN mas re-
jected the notifications proposed by the allies ana
the mediation OF the United States In the war seems
TO be about to terminate. No little comment has
been caused by the appearance OF this response of
Spain and coupled with the active operations or that
government in her marine department. it has given
rise to some apprehension Of a return of the Spanish
neet with hostile purposes to the Pacific. Those
best informed on the subject, however, are
OF he opinion that the war is finally ended and that
SPAN will not modest this coast again very soon
i do not think that there is the slightest cause
for uneasness in this respect. Valparaiso and CalaO
are already well fortified that but very
formidable iron-clad squadron could attack those
cities without great risk OF destruction. The Spanish
question has become thing of the past, and will in
sEprobability remain in its present condition for a
long time To come, until years shall have efaced
Ne bitter memories OF the blockade and lombard
ment ant diplomatic agents can sett'e the Affair."
