Letters from Lima, dated the c..13d of January, memion that

SANTA Cutz had nearly destroyed the remnant of the Chilian in- vaders, in a battle fought on the 6th of January, near Huaras. His plan is said to be not to force on another action, but to wear out the Chilians by cutting oft' their supplies, and by harassing skir- mishes.
