THE ANGLO-FRENCH MEDIATION SCHEME, Everything relating to the Spanish-American war re- mains in a state of uncertainty. Nothing definite has been received respecting the movements of the Spanish fleet; and while the preparations for defence are atill going on the rumors of peace daily become more gener- ally circulated and believed. Anglo-French mediation has been the theme of conversation and newspaper dis- guesion during the past two weeks. According to the moat reliable reports je proposals of the mediators are,” first, an armistice, and second, the allied republics and Spain to consent to the mediating Powers arranging the basis on which the difficulties may be sdjusved, the belligorents being {eft free to accept or refuse the’ terms that may’ be submitted to them. ‘The Ecuadorian and Bolivian Ministers residing at Santi- ago were consulted as to these proposals, and stated thas upon their side there was no objection to them, since their respective countries had received no injury or inault from Spain. Bolivia and Ecuador have taken part in the alliance only in detence of common American inter- ceta; it was the danger of Chile and Peru whioh produced their adhesion to our cause. It belong consequently to the two latter republics say if the moment has arrived to ae end to the war. [be opinion of the Peruvian govera- ment was, then, alone wanting. The answer of the for- Tner was expected by this iast steamer, and wo should suppose that it has arrived, because the steamer brought Don Marcial Martinez, Chilean Cuargé d'Affaires at Li who will retarn in the steamer after having conte: with tbe government here ou matters of grave import ance. ‘These matters can be no other than the eaid media- tion, and we believe that at this moment ‘the vital ques- tion'of peace or war has reached acritical stage in the deliberations of the allied governments, The whole question will probably be settled one way or the other within afew weeks. The indications are that peace will be made, and I no longer entertain seri ons apprehensions of a renewal of the war.. The le of the United States need not bs surprised to learn the next steamer of the permanent cessation of host! ties, and the perfect restoration of quiet on the Pacific.

The state of commercial affairs throughout the whole of the Australasian colonies was one of depression, re- sulting in part from the effects ef the panic in England, but in a great degree from local causes—drought, loss stock, and failure of crops. Tho failure of the breadstuff crops was the most severely felt; as, in order to supply the deficieney the colonies have been obliged to draw. heavy supplies from Chile and the United States, Ameri-? can goods of Eastern manufacture wore in excess of the demand, but prices ruled firm im anticipation of an in- creaned activity in trade, The political intelligence from New Zealand is unim- | eos Parliament was prorogued on the 8th of yr.
