There is no doubt ‘that atroce is being urged upon the allies by the French ‘and English representatives, who, failing in tieir offers sof mediation, now suggest an armistice as the best method for bringing about amicable negotiations be.ween ‘the belligerents. It is highly improbable that any truce ‘with Spain will be entered into by the South Americans, The temper of the people is decidedly averse to any set- Uement other than by force of arms; and I doubt if any government would long survive, in Peru or Chile, the ‘abandonment of the war at the present time. The whole popalation is eager for a renewal of the conteat, ‘believing that the allied squadron and defences of Val- paraiso and Catlio are sufficient to chastise Spain severe- dy, should she be ‘acited to send another fleet to the I’a- cific, ‘The report that the government of Chile has accepted the trace proposed by the English and French Ministers * at Santiago has attained considerable credence through- ut the republic, and the press is furious én the subject. ‘You wil! no doubt receive from various sources on the ‘west coast intelligence to the effect that the proposed armistice bas been accepted, but I have the best authori- ty Yor denying all such rumors.

The aliles will bave no negotiations with Spain without seme surety of accomplishing some- thing by them, and all the excitement op the subject will cyentually die out, just as the agitation respecting French and English mediation did two months ago. It is well understood tbat propositions bave been re- ceived by the Chilean government from Mr. Seward, having for their object an arrangement of the existing diffcumies, from all that can be gleaned from the e: pressions of the newspapers here on the subject, it seems that onr government has invited the bélligerents to send” representatives to Washington, for the purpoee of having: # conference on the varions questions at issue, Mr. Seward appears to have suggested that the President o!> the United States shai! appoint some neutral power to ‘Be wmprre upon all diierences which may -ariae in the ‘eoniereurs ‘yespecting points of international courtesy ‘and lew, and this clause has: the people of «bite somewhat apprehensive of their claims being overruled should such a we be held, They fail to perceive that such an umpire would only have anineghy ‘a: rege. fating the channels by which treaty might be arrived at, without in any manner affecting the terms which might be agreed upon by the member of the ouferonce, as am form of treaty to be ratified by the respective eroments engaged in the Spanieh American © reticence of ihe Cbile government on the subject, since their firat hints of such Serorencen from the United States called forth un- v criticiem by the press, has prevented the public: from fully understanding the precise nature of Mr. Seward’s play.
