 WASHINGTON, D. O.. Aug 26.-A cable gram from Valparaiso, dated the 24th in stant, has to-day been received in this city of which the following is translation: The insurgents succeeded in landing ten thousand soldiers at the bay of Quinteros, north of Valparaiso, where they started along the shore toward Valparaiso under the protection of six of their men-of- war and eight armed transports, besides all the boats of their fleet provided with mitral- leuses, endeavoring to surprise the city by rear attack.
 A government force of 5000 men was detached from Valparaiso and succeeded in delaying the crossing of the Aconcagua river near it's mouth, while sufficient number of troops were moving by rail to protect Valparaiso and oppose the insur- gents by at least fifteen thousand with a prospect of further increase of forces from other quarters.
 The government forces succeeded in stopping the insurgents for forty hours, with loss to the enemy of about 5000 of their choicest men, notwithstanding the fire of the insurgent fleet. besides that of the land force. This operation enables the government to select the best positions for their 12,000 arriving troops, although this advantage cost the loss of half the number of the gallant division of 5000 men which contested the march of the rebels and their crossing the Aconcagua river. The rebel fleet has been kept at bay by the fire of Fort Andes and the insurgent forces are deprived of the expected protection of their men of-war, while the government forces are constantly receiving reinforce ments from the interior. Now the rebel forces will be found at any moment with out possible way of retreat.

 has arrived at Kiel is believed to have a cargo of guns and war material on board for the Balmacedan vessel Pinto, which arrived at Kiel yesterday. Should this be the case it is generally understood here that the German au- thorities at Kiel will insist upon the neu- trality of the port being strictly observed by the English steamships and the Chilian war vessel. In other words, the German
 authorities will prevent the English steamer from transferring her cargo, Pinto, while these vessels are in German waters. Germany, it is distinctly under stood, has determined not in any way to | take the part of either side.

 fronting each other seems disposed to re-
 new hostilities just at present and out.
