From Lima, accounts of the operations of the Chilian lovading

force have been received. After gaining possession of Lima, and defeating a small body of the Peruvians, the Chilians reembarked, to avoid an encounter with SANTA CRUZ, who was marching against them with a large army. It is supposed that the signal failure of this second attack on Peru will consolidate the power of SANTA CRUZ, and relieve him from apprehension of any future hostility on the part of Chili.
