com ‘no Indications to be observed here of excite- ipterest in an affair that may yet result in some- serious than the easy going people dream of. have been at one time some commotion and r, and not in the light of a flerce and sanguinary that must result in the loss of life and the ex- ure. of treasure. The ministers have asked | for nd additional appropriations to carry on the war. Whey are fighting and paying from a “peace footing.” They have no idea of sending rein- forcements to the squadron or of ordering out troops & co-operate. Every one looks at it as a little : ‘quarrel that may result in a black eye or a broken nose, but nothing more serious. When the Spanish people Ihave become satisfied that the honor of the flag has beou fully viudicated, and their reseatment at the loss of tho Covadenga completely removed by the bombardment of | Valparaigo, thon they propose\to leave the Pacific and bandon the ungrateful fellows 40 their fate, which is, to Ihave no further relations of any Nature with them, The ‘destruction of the aliied fleet in the Pacific is not looked pon asa fixed fact, After the engagement between the Ville de Madrid and Blanco, the news of which oa . week ago, it was announced that Admiral Nunez would once proceed im search of the allied squadron, wi Numancia, a powerful iron-clad, and two ether ships, i make short work of the matter. He proposes to run * the batteries which guard the mouth of the river in which allied fleet lies and Anish up the affairat close quar- rs, Tho result of the expedition will doubtless reach a before Unis. One thing may be said in relation to the last afair, it not as yet generally credited here that so much was done the enemy as the reports would claim. Je, Itiad, take the stilted reports with many largo of salt. They have uot forgotten the reports of present Prime Minister, Marshal O'Donnell, then manding the Spanish expedition in Africa, There yere many vicfories on paper, but noe of a substantial ¥ and hear the result from all sides before they give fall faith to reports, The editers, of course, become highly excited from the slightest cause and indulge in vam- glorious boastings, but it docs not affect the people who mever hurry in anything. I think the only thing they ‘Would like to see accelerated is the withdrawal of their ‘Beet from the Pacific and ee return of peace. By the way, the severe measures which the Spanish ] ‘wish to adopt to terminate and reund off the war have Been assigned to a newleader. The present Admiral, Mendez Nunez, having exhibited some indecision and want of energy, has been superceded, although he will Probably be retained as second in command. General ‘Quesada, Iate Minister of Marine, is his successor, He ts doubtless nearly om the ground now, having left four weeks ago, bearing tho full instructions and Pally understanding the wishes of the government. He ‘de to execute the order to bombard and destroy Valpa- waiso, and then to take :the fleet to Montevideo, ae soon ‘hereafter ae possible. Quesada is described as a man ‘of intelligenc, spirit, energy and pluck. Ho will carry @ut to the letter the wishes of the government, come pc rmee If Nunez anffers no disaster in his effort.to destroy Pacific will soon draw.te a close. The goverument is ly anxious that.this should be go. They are not aw itle a —— the hye eegr tenet prainion f pendencia A luescar.

It is proba- ly just as well. “Where ignorance i# bliss it is folly to be wise.” They are happy enough now, and why disturb them by discussions of national welfare and pro- gress. Of course there is a large class of intelligent and Pairiotic persons who are keenly alive to everything tat an affect the interests of their country.

In the meanwhile the armaments on both sides aro continuing on a scale as if war were to break out at a mo- ment’s notice. In Prussia all the reserves are called out, and Prince Frederick Charles is only waiting for the word of command to start for the Saxon frontier, and place himself at the head of the army which is to occupy that kingdom. From Gletz, Neisse and Cosel we are in- formed the fortifications have be*n placed in a com- leto state of defence; the walls lined with rified artil- lery, the moats filled with water, and al! the beautiful trees on the plains cut down; the same has been done in Witenborg and Sorgan, to the great discomliture of the inhabitants. If only balf the Prassian papers write may be relied on, the Austrian army collected on the frontiers of Bohemia is at least 100,000 strong, and General Bene- dek, the only officer in the Austrian service who has a high military reputation, is expected daily from Vienna to resume the command, accompanied by three or four archdukes and a staf! composed of some of the first families of the empire. Amidst this turmoil, however, the people are ing to bestir them-elves, and in some places, es} ly in the west of Germany, meetings have been held to protest against a civil war carred on for mere purposes of Aggrandizement or political influence by two powers equally inimical to the liberties of the nation.
