Four days later, Peruvian Marshal Agustin Gamarra is appointed as a provisional President of Peru. This caused Santa Cruz to march over Lima. In the ensuing combat of Matucana, Bulnes results triumphant again. This setback diminishes Santa Cruz' army morale. Before these events, General Brown had defeated the bulk of the Argentinean Army

In the peace treaty of October 1646, the new "weroance", Necotowance, and the subtribes formerly in the Confederacy, each became tributaries to the King of England.

The law stated that the Confederates should commit "full and ample retaliation" against such persons.
