VALPARAISO.
Bunster's Valparaiso Ereight Gimular i of Eebruary lst gives us the following : items in regard to the Spanish hostilities : < — " On the eve ol the departure of the last mail steamer, the Spanish vessels of : war blockading the port of Caldera — the '.Numancia,' ' Berenguela, ' Marquez de : la Victoria' — together with their prize, ■ the British steamer ' Matius Cousine,' arrived at this port. Previous to abaudoning Caldera, the Spaniards despatched to Spain some two or three of their prizes, laden, with ores, &c, and set fire to and destroyed the rest (eight vessels), after stripping them of everything. Yesterday the Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish squadron||issued a decree declaring all Chilian coal as contraband of war, even under the protection of neutral flags, until such time as his Government may otherwise direct." The same authority adds the following in regard to freights : — " Transactions in charters have been very numerous during the past fortnight, with a further advance in rates. The market still continues very firm, with several orders still unexecuted."
