TUB ItAVAL M0VFWENT8 PRBLIMINABT TO (THE
ACTION AT JUICUD,
rAHAMA March 15. When the news first came
ot the treaty ol alliance botween l eru and VbM, and
the declaration of war by ilio former oower aifuuiRC
Spain, we at tbe same tune learned that the squad
rons ot tbe two republics wore ordered to imme
diately commence ao ivo operations against the
Spanish lieet. A thonifb tlivro were soino pursong
loolihli enoufrh to suppose that tbo Spanish Jluot
would be at once attacked, tiie majority know rry
well that nothing oi the kind would be attempted,
but, on the contrary, the l'er avian aud Chilian ships
would wisely reserve their atrengtu lor the proper
b( nr. We beard from time to tiino of tbe i'ernriau
ships moving south irom port to port, even to the
southwest ofArica; but upon leaving tbore thoy
ceased to be mentioned and became missing-.
feoou af'er this we heard of the blockade of the
coast of Chill temp laisod, excepting that ol tbe port
ot Va pareiso, whore tho entire BpauisU fl ol was
concentrated Ibis led as to supose that a h'otn
bardmcnt ot that city would ioIiowj out soon alter
came the mlormation that ttmee of the irltratca had
been sent to cruise; and, as at about the same time
we loarnod oi the l'cruvian and Chi Ian ships tein
In the vicinity ol the is and ot Cbiloe, we became
satisfied that the Spaniards were turning the tables
that Is, bhoir three friiratos were in syarcU of the
forces that were orde: ed to attack them
i wo days before tbe denai tateol tbe steamer front
Valparaiso the Villa de Mailrid and ISlanca returned
fo that port, looking as bright and tresh as at any
time during their cruise, and up to th time of tbe
steamer's sailing nothing wag publicly known in
Valoanso of there having been an encounter bet veen
the hostile eqoacrons, Icoeed, it was thought that
the two Irigatca had only returned from an ordinary
cnuse of observation one In w inch they bad been
unable to fad what they were looking lor.
Un the arrival of tne steamer at Coquimbo, on
nor war north, it was toutd that tbe Jntm
dente there bad received Irom Santiago, liom the
beoretary of Forclvn Relations, a to eeraphio des
patch desiring that the atcamor should be dotainod
until telegi aphio desi atcliei could be sent, giving
the particu ara, as lar as received, of an engagement
that bad occurred near Ancud, in the ' island of
Chiloe, j3otween the Spanish frigateg Villa de Madrid
and Mlunca and tbe allied Peruvian aud Cuilian
fleets and the shore batteries. Tho steamer wag
consequently detained, and tbe following were tbe
despatches received:

THIRD DESPATCH.
The masterof the sloop Etlraan, which arrived to-day
at the port ot Corral, from Ancud at six o'clock on the
morning of the tttb ot February, has transmitted that
on tbe morning of the 8th ot February It was reported
In Ancud that our vessel had cap'ured one oi tbe
Spanlsb squadron at C'bacao, but which one was not
slated. 1 be same morning the Chilian steam corvette
Esmeralda was seen outsl le the port ot Ancud, and she
ancrw ards returned to within twenty miles of the town.
Five hours a ter she moved out a continuous csnnonado
was heard ; this having ceased, the combat was con
sidered as having terminated.

Tbe above are all the dospatchea reWVed, and
together foim the Chilian siory of tho afl'alr. Think
ing that there must have been another version ol It,
aud knowlnsr that some of the Spanish olhoers who
were in the fight bad come op in the steamer, 1 tried
to find out what they nasi to say about it; and
although very cloee-moutued, still a third party
managed to obtain some Information, which ho
kindly gave to tne
The Villa tie Madrid, with the Blanca in C5m
pnjiy, had been cruising In the hope ot fulling m
with the allied fleets indeed, ihoy were at sea lor
the purpose of finding them it possible. Thinking
thoy might be In BOnie oi the p rts to the southward,
tbe senior cfllcor detei mined to have a look at the
tiomcious hiding-place near San Carlos, or Ancud,
as it is now termed, a port near tbe north end of
tie island ol Chiloe. It was not long aitor the
Spanish vessels had entered the pass between tbe
main land and the is and before the mastheads of
the vesrola tl ey were in search ot were descried
over a point of land behind which they were se
curely anchored.
As the allied rquadron showed no disposition to
come out lor fifrtu, the JJlwwa was sent in as a
feeler to find out their position and to try and eoax
them out it possible. Feeling her way in, with great
caution, she soon found tbat going closer would not
cause the others to come out; and while waning to
see what the result might be, and while making a
careiul reconuoisance, she was suddenly opeued
upon by a shore battery that had not been noticed,
the first hot fiom v bleb cut away one of her head
booms. In tbe position the Jilanca occupied at the
time she bad a view of Iho hul s ot the vessels inside,
and they were within range ot bur broadsides a
soon as the batterv ou shore opened upon her. Sho
opened tire on the allied fleet, and the Villa de
Madrid stood in to her assistance.
As soon as the latter ship came within ran re she,
in the tuost splendid manner, opeued her enormous
Lfttivriei at tie same time, Ibe action was eonUuirxi
lTrp--i''t-r for two bonrs; the two Spanish shins
expending about seven handled shot and shell,
when I eir commanding oliioer, llndins it imoossl
b e to silence the shore battery, and very prudently
not caring to venture bis heavy ships into a narrow
nd Oanrerous chsnncl way, hau'ed o ft" out of ranre,
i itt r bis vessels bad been struck seventeen limes In
heir bulls; the Jilanca receiving one shot bolow the
water line, which was Immeaiatoly p ugid. S.n
tular to re ate, they ropoit no casus ties.
Ibe ships lr.side were lound to be the Apurlm is,
lntov, America, and CovatUmga, and the rpaniards
r port tbat when ibe fight ended the l-ovadonga wag
rot i ely dismasted, the America using but oue gun
out ol her broadside of eight, and that the Apurimae
was on fire; beside, they gay that all of them suf
lewd verv severely aloft, in having spars and rigging
snot away; but we are not as n red of this. Tne
Spanish vessels remained a day or two in f-'e
v.cinity, In the hope toat tbflr late onprncnis wonld
venture forth; but a they con d not be induced to
do so it wa deemed bost to return to Valparaiso, be
cause it would be impossible to ret inside where the
allied hips were anchored, undor tne p aiming fire
ol the (-bote battery, winch was rnountoo with the
heavy guns recovered Iroin tho lost frigate Am

It is gufllcient to say that tbe revolution In Bolivia

against Spain, thus cosing the only port, Cooija,
that r .mained open to the Spuniards.
fcome time ago I gave you an account of the at
tempted capture, in tho port of Coquimbo, ot the
barque. Salvador Vitlm, which ws discharging coal
oi.o stores into the bpanisu Irigato then blockading
that part, and which attack failed through the
ignorance ot tbe ofliccr commanding the attacking
party. After she was di charge) she proceeded to
Cobiju then a neutral port; but on t!io ni?bt ol Ja
nuary 24-eight Chilinos, outhus astio in their cause,
yet lorgettiug the neutrality ot tho port, arranged
an expedition against the vessel, irhiou was suc
cessful. Tliey boarded her under cover 'of darkness. 'and,
getting posses Ion, tocy.got underway after a
taBhion, none of the party be. ng seamen, and stood
to sea. Csllao was reached in time, and imme
diately on arrival the Ilahun Minister oemaudod the
reiease oi the vesse' and return to her owuers on
the grouno that she was a neutral vessel, captured
in neutral wateis. I he demand was complied with;
but tne same night she was destroyed by tire in the
harbor of Callao, and it does not require much

Although the crime committed on the 14th of April,
1665. In Washington, snatched away from us the virtuous
A braham Lincoln a good lrlend and benevolent towards
our people the American Government basoootlnued to
treat us witn great delerence and sympathy. The guar
antee of sovereignty and neutrality which they promised
us in the treaty of 1848. in exchange ,or the faculty to
Soss troops across the Isthmus, has, Indeed, offered great
ill. cullies t because not all the agents of that Govern
ment in the ports ot the Isthmus and on the Isthmus
llseli. possess tbat Intelligence and morality which the
use ot this concession Implies, tirave faults hive been
committed bv a so.dler and the commander of a war

Isthitius, for which, I have not the least doabt of it, the
American Ucvemment will give us lull satisfaction,
adopting for tbe future such precautions as will lead to
avoid their repetition.
This trea y. which contains the guarantee of neutrality
and ownership ot the Isthmus, aud the concession of
Irte transit In lavor ol the American Government, must
expire lu the year 1K6H, ii one ot the parties should ootliy
the other ot It twelve months befoie the stipulated time
It would be expedient tbat you dlscuts already now the

the poetponemer.'t 0f tbe nuptial tie was made in

It appears tbat Moran had at -various times loaned
moey to the deeca-ed, and a lew days before the
commission of tbe deed, while visiting her at her
lather's bouse, asked her for it. Bis exouse was that
be was pressed lor the need of it. In reply to this
demand Miss Kearney said she had no money, nor
did she know how to get it- He then accused ber of
a lack ot deposition to get it for him. What the ua
ture of tbe con vernation was alter this has not trans
pired, but it is surmised tbat out of this circumstance
originated some of the causes which led to tho tra
gedy. Moran also stated that her father wanted him
to marry her, and more than onoe asked him when
tbe bappy event would take place.
We hear that yesieroay morning, before Moron
was taken to the jail at iJcdbam, be denied having
shot Miss Kearney. On tbe contrary, be evinced an
unusual desire to soe ber.and seemed to be fascinated

MAZATLAN BESIEGED BY THE LIBERALS,
Sah Fraecisoo, Fobruary 28 Tho stamhlo
Jilm L Stephent arrived from the ports of Western
Mexico on the evening of the i'id inst , bringing
atoi advices from tho scene of hostilities in Sonora
ami Sinola The city of Alazatlan was at the tiino ot
the sailing of tae Mrih:nt (our lato-it da es) com
p ettly Ii. vested by tho L berals under Corona, num
bering lully five thousand men, well arm;d ana
tolerublv well equipped. Governor Olftznn, ot Ji
lisco, ot wboee departure from here incou. I iu'ormod
you in advance, had arrivod at Corona's headquar
ters, and a counoll o( war, at which Corona, Kohi,
ogazon, and otheis, wore present, took plaoe early
in the month.
Coiona uoclatcd his ability to carry the town by
assault in an hour, but urged that no general attack
should be made on tbe iutreuohments ot the French,
on the ground that it the city were carried by assault
it would be levelled to the giound bv tho batteries of
tne steam liigatts I.uctfcr and 1st Vic.toie ut auooor
in the roadstead otTth city. His plan was to cut off
all supplies in Iront aud rear, sboot down at the
sentinels and corral evry expedition wmch left tU
city, and bv every otbor p.ssiblo means haross and
annoy tue invaders, ihl Course was opposed by
Oytzoa ana ttuhl, who advocated an luimsliato
assault, confident that the mora elToot oi tue cor am
victory on ti e Liberal cause would more than off ot
tho loss watch the nation would sustain la tb.9 do
s. ruction ot Mazatlau.
Ctroiia, wl o l-Hio Idol'of tho army, howevor,
(inaliv gained 'his poln', and, in pur-uanoo of hit
policy, his lorcos drove in ihe Kronen ploko a and
even chaiged into tlio cny itself ior tnro i nights in
succession, keeping H'O garrison in a constant a arm
until the steamer sailed. On tho night of tho 12 h
InMant, whiln the L berals were beating up tne out
skirts of Aliizatlan and keopirfj up a tire of musketry
on tho garrison, a party ol thirty men came around
to the city Iront, and swimming oil to the fishing
boats which were supplying the garrison with Uh
tbe only article ol fresh food they had be in receiv
ing for a long time captured the boats, nluo in
number.
be capturing party then came up to the landing
aiid surprised Captain Avaloe, with twenty-two men
ot tbe J mix rial lorces. and carried them ofl nndor
tbo very guns ot the French steamors without the
iofs oi a man. A gentleman with whom I am
acquainted, who came through Irom Durano Just in
tune for tho tteatuer, says that bo never saw a man
w lioBccmcd io have the cause or his countr more
thoroughly at' heart than corona. He sa s that
n.oi ey is no object to him, and he appeared oulv
desirous of liberating his country and driving out
the Invaders. The correspondent of the AUa, writ
ing irom Mazatlan, undor the date of February 15,
tats:
"The truth Is just this: The French snd Mexican troopi
in this city are as uiu h "bottled up "gas ever was Sut
ler's army ar Dutch Gap Corona with a force estimated
at Irom three to five thousaad men, has established bs
.picket line at a short half mile Irom the citv gates, and
ft is tbe teneinl belter i hat be could take the town at any
lime. He says that be can do so at his pleasure, but is
unwl ling that the place shou d be destroved, as It cer
tainly would be by the French men-of-war that are at
anchor In our harbor."
Maximilian's prospects here are anything but
flattering, ibe educated and influential Mtxicaos
are far from supporting him, and the lower classes
would join Corona it ho could glvo thom armi.
Corona is probab y the most popular man in Sinaloa.
"Voting, biavo, ambitious, and successful in neurit
