At half past three tho Spanish frigate Blanc ap peared In the channel rclcrrod to, lollowed closely by the Villa de Madrid; and when at distance of about fifteen hundred moires from our line the . t riirate I commanded opened lire upon them, as also the other ships a II ro which was answered by the eremy id a spirited manner, but without being able to overcome our resistance; aun, at last, loroed by the damage wh inflicted, went to lake shelter in a creek situated to the norm of our line, from whence they maintained a vertical fire. In this position, bad the Apurimne bcou ab e to move, we should have issued out in line oi' buttle to cut ofl' their rotreat most probably with tho most successful result. Shortly a'tcr the two filiates left the creek, re- ' tiring slowly from the sceno of combat without ceasing to fire upon our line, which boingr vigorously responded to, lorccd them to retreat until sheltered trcm our shot by he northern point of tho Island of Abtao, which is tho most eluvited. The enemy counuued their rotreat until, being out of rango, Ihe firing ceased, whioh had lasted with out inteiruption two hours, and in which some t fit teen hundred shots must havo been fired by both aides, The daniago suffered by our side is as follows: The Ajmnmaa received three bails in her hull on the water line, a sholl, which destroyed bar launch, which was moored astern, and another which earned wov her lunnel. The America received four balls in ber hull, and - two uioio, which. Ujiug high, cut away tho main mast shrouds and eomo ringing.

As tbo course followed by the enemy s force a It or the engagement was not known, aud the night was at Lund, and our tun s wereuuorovidod with pilots, It was not possible tor Uie corvet'oi to go m pur suit of them, for which reason I gave ordeia that skills should te sent out to reconnoitre the position taken up by them.

'1 he extensive quantity ol ammunition and the dif ferent dispositions ot an economical character noces sary to the provisioning and equipment of the divi sien did not allow me to woigh anchor the following day; consequently 1 saw myself torood to deter my departuro until sunrise ot the 7tb, when I proposed to return having in tow tbo , laden with every thing re quisite for the squadron. 1 was ready aud war ing only tbe lido when, at 8-80 A. M , 1 roooived a o minunication from tho lntoudant informiui me that tbe Spanish trigatet VUU de Madrid and Jilanca wore at lluite that is, at a very short dis tance from the mouth of the C'hacao channel. Ihrectly 1 received this intelligence I despatched a boat in charge ot Flag Lieotennnt Walker, with orders to proceed with all possible speed to the station and place in the hands of the Peruvian commander the original communication, informing him at the same time that I remained at the entrance of the port of Ancud, waiting an opportunity to enable me to join the uivLion. To-day I could not do so, because the two Spanish lnguU'S continued cruising, both I elore and atur the combat, in the neighborhood of the Island of Abtao. Neither oouid I do it by night, because they placed themselves at the mouth ot the Chacao Channel, one at the north and the other at the Bouth, with the intention ot sur prising us, thinking, perhaps, that I should endeavor to take advantage ol the darkness to attempt to join tbe allied Fquadron. Ataawn 1 began to return, bat on arnviutr near Uemolinos 1 was met by Flag Lieu tenant Wa.ker, announcing to me that the in gates had not moved iroin thtir positions, which obliged me to return to Ancud and remain there till 2 A. M,. when 1 again began my return, which I was enabled , to elfect without anv mischance. On my arrival at the station I received the dos- atcties w inch 1 have tbe honor to transmit to your xoelloncy, und iroin which you will see that the two Spanish frigates have beon repuiscd; and ttieir burned retreat atter sucn a sudden attack suvirests the inference ot a decided del' ai. as otherwise thoy would have leturned to the attack, If the enemy bad not kept at so great a distance during the combat owing, probably, to ths fear of tbe battery that deiended the entry with the sus tained flie, whioh lasted an hour and threo-quarters, we should have had to deplore many lossos; lout I have the satislaotion to inform vour Kxoelleuey that they have been limited to the death of two seamen . ot the corvette Union, and tome inconsiderable V ritiuave, staled in ihe accompanying despatcacs, tied preserve your Excellency.

Much speculation and excitement in consequence, but. no explanation bas yet tratiKpircd. Similar orders have been transmitted to all commanders ot military districts throughout tho Proviuce. Of course, another grand volunteer rally followed the promulgation of this order. Tbo members of tbe Thirteenth are jubilant, and will respond to tho call with alacrity, although there are no siqns ot the former wild excite ment.

The Itepublicans are all for Cattell, except Scovol, who is opposed to tilling the vacancy because he considers it not fairly" made. Mr. Cattell bas been a radical for several years.

Later advices from Vienna report that tbe apprehensions ot a war bave been icmovcd. The Contereuce of tno Principalities held a second u.eet.ng at Paris on tbe linn ulc. A Vienna telegram as.-cris that declaration of a reassuring cburac.cr have been received lrom Berlin, and tho apprehension of war oceu thereby removed. It is staled that the Gaatein Conveution will be aobered lo. The London Morning 1'ost believes this statement unfounded, and that tee relations continue oritical. In the House of Commons Harl Grosveuor guve notice that on the second reading of the Hutorm; bill be would move an ame.id.ncnt de cianng it Inexpedient to discuss tho bill until the Houso hasoploreittheeutfro Reiorm scheme contemplated bv the Government.

Tbe limes says Lord Stanley will second Earl Grosvenor's amendment, and predicts an inde pendent svpporfc lor it. It hope3 it is not too lute for the government to bring forward a better bill. The Morning Post believes the amendment will prove the death-blow of .the Ministry. The Da iy New3 and iiar regard it as an in sMi'ius movement as meaning nothing but op- Scsition lo retorm. and says the Conservatives .ii e not move a direct neaative to the measure.

The sti amer Tripoli left Liverpool on the 20th for New York, aud the Scotland suiled on the 21st. The following is a summary of the news taken out by the Tripoli: In the House of Commons the Irish Attorney General denied that tbe Lord-Lieutenant had stated that ho apprehended a Feniau invasion. Several landowners had applied lor permission -to arm and drill then: tenantry, but the Govern ment relused its consent, let ling perfectly able to allord every prolcction. The Times adn its that frightful and unj usti fiable cruelties were co'nmittedin Jamaica, and thut it was an abuse of power beyond all ex cure or palliation. The Paris Pairw denies that the Fr?nch Gov ernment consented to extend tbo period of the extradition t;eaty with Kiiglaiici, In the Corps Legislatif the amendment to the address iu favor of an extension of liberties has been strongly debated, several speakers demand ing increased liberty for tho public, the press, and the Chamber. The amendment was re jected by a vote of 2u6 against C3. Tbe German journals continue to represent uie reianons Deiween Austria ana rrussia as very threatening. They even assert that Aus tria had ordered the assemoling of one hundred thousand troops on the Bohemian frontier, and sent a circular note to the powers, disclaiming all responsibility for the consequences of any contlict winch may ensue. The London limes directs attention to the critical state of affairs. It says: "Bismark has thrown oil' his mafk, and the Duchies are to be annexed to Prussia. 1'reparations for war are progressing on both sides, and in both capitals military councils are being held, generals nomi nated, ana pi ans ot campaign discussed." i The funds were depressed in the various Euro pean mar&ets Dy tne disquieting rumors. The Spanish Government had raised the state ot Mege m New Castile. The Russian Ambassador bad left Rome. The Latest via Liverpool. Liverpool, March 21. The London Post says it has reason to believe that tbe telegraphic news to the effect that since Sunday declarations ot a reassuriug character had been received from Beilin by the Austrian Government, and that tbe apprehensions of war between the great German powers had been thereby removed, nre totally incorrect. Tho relations between tbe two powers continue very critical. ' Foreign Commercial Intelligence. Liverpool t OTron AIahket.

An important bill, denning the rights of na tional citizenship under the first clause of the second section of tbe fourth article of the .Con stitution, and punishing their violation as a crime, has been prepared by the Hon. Samuel Siiellabarger, of Ohio, and will, if leave Is ob tained, be introduced into Congress to-morrow. The bill is desigecd to throw the protection of the nation over the loyal men of the South from other States, who are now being driven from that section. No law executing that clause in the Constitution bus ever been passed, because no overwhelming necessity lor It was felt bolorc the war. The tirst sestion declares the rights of national citizenship to bo the risrht to go through and into, and to sojourn aud reside, in each State ; and there to acquire, dispose of, and enjoy pro tection for person and property, to be exempt from unurual taxes, etc., and to have equal re dress in the courts. The second section punishes the attempt to deprive a citizen of any of these rights by any manner of intimidation, but with out violence. The third section punishes with death a murder committed in the attempt to deprive the citizen of .the right to go into, or through, any State, or of his right to abide or do business therein. The fourth section punishes as a felony, manslaughter, or great bodily b,arni inflicted in attempting to deprives pitizen of any right secured by the bilL The fifth section confines the benefits of the bill to persons not criminals and to loyal men. A Campaign Uoenment. The Andrew Johnson National Campaign Com. mlttee have just issued their first campaign document. It has the President's veto of the Freedmcn's Bure.iu bill, his speech ot February 22, Secretary Seward's and Raymond's Cooper Institute speeches Indorsing the veto, corrected and revised; and the account of tho conversa tion between, Governor Cox of Ohio and the President.

The New York Tribune this morning says: "Money was more active, and pemabustnoss was done at 6 per cent. The 5 peV cent, loans were alike undisturbed In most cases. For mercantile paper the rates aro unchanged. There is a little 7 per cent, paper making, and not much demand for it Good names pass at 89, and ordinary at 10015 $ cent. The re ccut failure, which, as time passes, is shown to have been more serious than when first an nounced, has made lenders cautiou?. and safety rather than high rates for money is tne rule, it is a fact beyond question that the bauks of tbe country, as a whole, are too much expanded, and have as securities too many certificates re presenting gold, coal, copper, Bnd petroleum "enterprises," and railways of very doubtful value. Danks who do not court this class of traders have their pocket-books full of credits, placed on (roods bought at high prices, to be sold at a loss, or havo invested tbr ir funds too lareely in Government stocks, which are not money, or lounable," The Pottavtlle Miners'1 Journal of Saturday says: "The quantity of coal sent by railroad this week is i;u,16705; by canal 30,834; tor tho week, 67,10107 tons, usainsc 88,597 tons for the corresponding week lust year. The shipments are heavy for the week, aud puces rule low, in many instances below the cost of production for some sizes. Of course this cannot continue long. The trade sums up this week ns follows, compared with last year: 18i!6, 160,171; 18KG. 177,707. Increase, 27.590. Prices have declined a shade at the shipping ports since la-d wee. This Is caused by the large supply sent to mar ket, which is in cxce?s of a heiilthy demand. Coal is now selling as low as it did in the first year of the Rebellion. At the rates quoted it will not net to the operators here over $250 to $2-75 a ton. With the present wasres coal can not lie mined at the.-e prices, except in a few lavorab'e localities, nor do wc see how wages can be reduced much with the present prlcvs of living." The value of the imports at P.oton for the week endine. March il win $1,600,000, aud the duty upon them will probably be nearly $80,000.
