Through the kindness Of Harry Howard, Esq., bearer
Of dispatches to the United States government from
Peru, We have received files of Lima papers to the It'll Of
January.
The Calao Foreign Neios Of that date contains the fol.
lowing interesting inteligence:-A decisive battle has
been fought between the revolutionary army, under
Gen. Castillo and the Government army, resulting, "a
was confidently anticipated, in the overthrow of the
latter.
In the absence Of all official dispatches, aud with very
little time to write out and put in type lengthy particu-
Jars, we can give to-day but q brief outline Of the occur
rences Of the pa st two or three days.
On the morning Of Friday, 9Th inst, about 4 O'Clock, .
forward towards Castillia's Entertainments, for the pur-
pose of calling forth a similar demonstration from the
during the night, and was fully prepared to engage with
his entire army; Echineque, finding his original inten-
Callao and Pinchinchi, to charge in front. They dashed IN
handsomely. and the two entire armies were soon en-.
gagged. The government forces becoming o little disor-
dered, two entire battalions went over to the rev,lu-
tionists, and very shortly after Echineque's army was
Gen. Deusiua, Col. Cavranza, and several other officers Of
the government army, were killed. 1t Is also reported
that Col Montes, Col. Duenas, Major Garcias. and six
other officers in the revolutionary army, were killed.
Col. La auerta is severely wounded, and Generals Cas-
tila and San Roman received slight injury.
President Echineque, with q small cavalry escort, sue
ceeded in reaching Lima, and placed himself under the
protection of Mr.. Sullivan, the English Minister, where
he still remains. Gen. Pezet escaped to this city, and
embarked on board the Amazonas steam frigate.
The hberating army entered Lima about 10 O'Clock,
and as they dedled through the streets and entered the
grand Plaza, an immense throng accompanied them, and
the most enthusiastic ripas rent the air. At 2 O'Clock
General Castillo Eel Libertador) arrived at the gates,
thousand bells, the discharges Of fireworks and small
arms, and the ~ceafening shouts Of the multitude, he
entered snieS 4. tss hn 2 the "oity Of the King. " from
around hin and embraced him, azd his path was literal
ly strewn with flowers. After much dihculty he sue
ceeded in reaching his own house.
We were present In the Plaza while the battalions
were forming on each side Of the square, and were struck
with the precision Of their movsnents, and the strict
men IN the ranks, who certainly stood in need Of hos
pital treatment, and yet their devotion to their brave

twelve months had iept the field under the most dis
couraging circumstances, but there was resolution and
frmness In their looks, and we could not wonder at their
success.
Soon after Lima was taken possession Of. . battalion Of
infantry was despatched by railroad for Callao, and .
detachment Of 400 cavalry left for the same destina-
ton. On the arrival of the cars At Bella Vista, one mile
the cavalry came up, the whole body took up Its march
IL was expected that the castle would make an Obsu-
nate resistance, IS heavy guns had been planted, COM
mandipg the Lima road, and other extensive preparations
made for defence. The infantry marched directly in
in case Of need, and an officer presented himself at the
gate, and summoned the surrender Of the place. few
moments sufRced TO settle all preliminaries, and at seven
O'Clock the castle of Calao had surrendered without
While the pariey was going on at the gate, some fifteen
or twenty Of the soldiers attached TO the garrison desert
ed, suspeDding themselves by their hands from the
walls, and falling into the arms OF those outside. This
part Of the programme afforded considerable amusement
TO the spectators.
Al soon as CAllao was In possession Of the revolution
lists, . strong guard was posted on the mole, and . pa.
troll traversed the streets. The utmost quiet and good
order prevailed, and one universal expression Of admira.
ton Of the happy contamination, was heard on every
side. These events have renewed public confidence
greatly, and It 10 fair to presume that much good will
grow out OF them.
We have no time to-day to speak Of the indomitable

most discourseing and gloomy trial, to final victory; It

thus let loose. A shock Of an earthquake was felt at
Calloa on the day after the place passed into the hands
Of the new government.
The Calao Foreign Ne,cs, Of January 7, says;-The
Montoneros, taking advantage Of the recent disturbed
state Of affairs in this vicinity, have committed various
depredaticns Of Late, even entering Callao at different
times and running of horses. On Tuesday evening last,
about s o'clock, Q party Of some ten or twelve OF these
fellows entered Bella Vista, robbed two or three houses,
and made of with three horses. On Thursday night,
they paid q visit TO Lima, and we are informed actually
broke open q store, from which they extracted q conside-
rable sum Of money.
The Callao papers express great regret at the departure
of Mr.. Howard and Commodore Bangs, Of the American
merchant squadron at the Chincha lslnnds, from Peru
for the United States.
