Lixta, Peru, Jan, 22.—0n the 13th inst, the first general engagement between the armles fn front of Lima was epened by the Chillan First Diviston under command ot Col. Don Tatrlelo Lynch, who made his attack on the leht centre of the Peruvian lines, which oc- cupted the hiights of San Juan, Lyneh’s line being nearly In front of the Peruvinn rignt, and extending from the Morro Salor to San Juan, The Sceond Division, under com- mand of Gen. Sotomayor, and the Third Division, under command of Col, . Lngos, formed the centre and right of the Chisian line, but did not arrive in yosition for soine- time after the First Diviston lad become heavily engaged. Ilard fighting continued on both sides until 7 o’clock (about two hours and & half), when the Peruviang in front of San Juun beeame completely de- morallzed and hroke for the rear, losing the hights of San Juan, which had been TREVIOLSLY LOOKLD UPON AS IMPREG- NABLE. . Following up this advantage, Lynch pressed onfor Chorillos, where was the headquar- tersof the Peruvian armys The best of tho Peruvian-froops were concentrated at this yolnt, and the position selected by them was amost excellent one. In nddition to the riatural defense of a llne of hilly, gradually becoming higher whilo proceeding inland, tho “ Morrg” and nll the hights were strong- Iy fortified by artillery commanding tho plaln over which the Chllian army was eompelled to advance in making thelr mitack.

'The roar of the tlamnes, the crack ot tho rliles, the yells of the mob, formed 0 demonlac symphony whose deeper notes were the suceessive exploslons of the forts and magnzines of Callno, where Astete, before fleeing himself, tired the fleet and blew up the fortifications, aml where sack and plllage were in full sway. “There was hut. one way tosave the city, The Lorelgn Guard turned out.

Not a cheer was heard from the vietors; not nsound from the vanquished. In fact, atmost without exception, the crowd which 1inell the streets was composed of forefgners, who, after the experfences of the past few dnys, Intornally welcomed the arwy as de- fverors, Foreign gunrds had Leen sent to take chargo of the San Cristobal battery, ar- tlllery barracks, ete., mutl they gquietly handed them over to'thelr naw owners, and as guietly returned 46 theirhomes; sleeping, however,— those who did sleep,~on thelr avms.

Meanwhile, thousands, prinel- pally women and children, had flown from Limn to Ancon, preferring any priva- tlons to the relgn of terror that threatened Lima, and that purt, dtseif partially destroyed by the recent bombard- ment, was fllled with fugitives, most ot them without bedding, food, or mon “The for- elgn fleet Iylng at anehor there behaved no- bly.
