" Y;:u'would observe a paragraph in the Edinburgh C;rresiondeni regarding the action of the 16th of June, which ran thus-' The 79th Regiment was laying down in a field of corn, and was surprized by a Regiment al French Cuirassiers, who cut them to rivets, with the exception of forty-five men and two ViHcers, when the brave 42d came up to their sup ort, and with their usual gallantry charged and cut down every Cuirassier, not leaving a man to tell the tale!' What a pity it is that not a man is left to tell the tale; t r so far as it has been unfolded, j is cer tainly a tragic one, and, if tastefully not up, after the style of Too numb and the Giant Killer, would certainly afford considerable amusement to a High• land audience. This valuurous conduct of the 42d, ....._ _.__....... ......_ in preserving the lives of forty-five men and two_ol- i ricers of the 79th Regintent, will no doubt tend to tilikar them to their clansmen, but it must only be tie ignvirant part o: them who could swallow such a /0.4 e. It is a very common thing for cavalry to charge it:fat:try, but very rare indeed for infantry to charge emir). This is, however, one, and I believe the linty i,lstance of it, and I am glad that it has been terbrmed by a Highland Regiment. The 4211 is a 1, very lair Regiment, although nothing to boast of; " .::id notaiihstaiding all • its valorwees esker the tale L. been nearly reversed, and the undeniable truth i.;:iis: tl.e 79th was frequently threatened by cavalry. ..I as often formed solid agnate vr receive them ; ';..aced the Regiment was latterly obliged to remain a.

Opposite the Inn, at a cottage where the Earl of Uxbridge was carried, you are shewn a neat gat. den, in the centre of four paths, a little hillock, with' a flower planted thcreou, shews the sepulture of his .

Observing the French soldiers plundering and destroying this house, he cried : Bonaparte asked what he cried' for? he replied, " because your soldier; are destroy. ing all my property, and my family h.,ve no W:tt-re to put their head." Bonaparte said, ,‘ Do yi , u not know that I am Emperor; and can recompense you an hundred times sts much ?" He was piaced on a horse immediately between Bonaparte atid iris first Aide.de-Carrp, his saddle tieing tied to the saddle. of a trooper behold him, that be might not escape.— They proceeded a little beyoed Btdk Alliance, and Bonaparte took the ground no a small eminence on the opposite side, a sort of body guard of twelve pieces of artillery, very light, surrounding them.— From this spot he could command both Liles. lie first observed..."

Seeing La Coste flinch at the shower of shot, he replied—" a) not stir, my friend, a shot will kill you equally in the back as the front, or wound you more disgracefully." 66 About half past five, hearing the fire of the. Prussians on the right of his rear flank, leaning his hand on the neck of LaCoste's horse, aed seeing the Britiea cavalry, from their tight and left flanks, making a tremendous charge that would have en circled his personal position, exclamed--- 4 11 fret que /lOW tour sauvent.'

" La Coste is a very intelligent peasant, lives in the shattered house • Belle Alliance, shews the room where the 'Prince of Waterloo and Blucher shook bands, which he did not see, and conducts visitors all over the ground, describing every particular. The l abservatory, he says, was erected before the action, nod had nothing to do with it. The ground is now mostly ploughed up, and there is by no means now so horrid an appearance as I have seen in some ;alien lin Spain after an action. • " This statement of La Coste contradicts the ac count of the new guard crying to the old 6 Se sauve ri petit,' that expression might easily have changed in running through the army, from the first text— s Blast que sour nail sauvone.' About an hour before d rotate, Bonaparte examined, 6 I *boll rot thous to 'pieces, yet it is a pity to destroy such brave troops.' • 66 The latter part corresponds much with an ac count I had from an Officer that accompanied me in this inspection. About an hour before the finish, he said an Aide-de.Carrap came to the Duke of Welling ton, telling him that the 5.h divizaoir was reduced from 4,000 to 400, and that their keeping their post was utterly ineffectual, ' I cannot help it,' said the Chief, • they most keep their ground with myself to the last man. Would to GOD the night or Blucher would come !' Near an hour after the fire was heard by the British in the rear'rf Bonaparte's right flank— ,We will beat them yet,'iried he. The charge was sounded, the most dreadful havoc coninteeced, and a victory closed the 18th day of June, which established a British Generalship and the British army as the first in Europe.

This battle proved the fact of what we vulgarly call lettern. " The French cavalry, in proof armour, repeatedly and repeatedly 'charged our squares, their .cannon opening chasms, the British infaotry ditninjshed and • .2dissing the Seim Grey,. •• .

'CHiRdiCTER OF BONAPARTE, BY Tlig ARCEIRIsEIoP 11 MECIII.IX. . , Napoleon is eclipsed from the scene of the Dead as to royal and civil life,. all revelations with respect to him are-allowable. None are any longer prohibited, none illiberal. He is a character in his? tory . . he has entered into the domain ot All the world talks of him and accuses him. For my part, I have another task to ftilfil ; that - of tx plaining him, which is not the least chtli:u.lt. • The mind of Napoleon was vast, but after the manner of the Orientals. From a natural d:sp..si tion he would turn toWards Eastern grandeur,how. over little he might be placed in that direction ; hut from a contradictory habit, he always fell back, as it were by his own weight, into iguohle detail.. Al war,: great in first ideas, low an I wortliles in die leconsi'. His . purse was like his mind ; it had a t e f itroui a sordid corner. His genius, fitted alike fir the great theatee ^f tl.e ,vorld, or for a stage of buffoons, resembled a Roy I mantle thrown over the party-coloured jack t or 'a harlequin. He was the, min of extremes—the m rt who having commanded the Alps to loiver their heads, the Simplon to smooth its rugged Iron:. the sea to approach or remove its banks, ends all hy delivering himself up to an English man of war. Endowed with wonder:lll, with infinite sagacity ; sparkling with ititellect, on every questien be seiz he created nor or unperceived views ; aboultding vivid imagee, picturesque in animated and pointed expressions, what he said was rendered more penetra ting even by the inaccuracies cf his language, which always bore some slight impression cf a foreien idiom ; sophistical. and subtle, and extremely versa tile, though a distinguished mathematician, he never argued except oa ground which he had climea t himself, and then, whether right. or wrong, he def,r. sled himself with all the 'correctness of a geometrici.a. His errors were, therefore, interminable, and though he dissembled much, lie was still of . tener deceived than a deceiver. Hence arose that aversion which he was often observed to shew to truth. He did not op. pose it as demonstrated truth ; on the contrary, he rejected it as folly, as something incompatible wits that which appeared to him to be mid.. Still with him illusion surpassed faisehonti. Er pressions of disdain and contempt were constantly in his mouth. He had formed tar himself rul es or op tics different from those of other men. Join to these dispositions, corruption, the daughter of pride, die intoxication of success, the habit of drintieg out Of an enchanted cup, and of having hit head turned seith the incense of the universe, and yon will be In the way towards an explanation of the mind of a nsai!, who, un'ting in his inconsistencies all that is greatest and meanest amongst mortals ; all that is most. ma jestic in the lustre of sovereign power, most prompt in command, with a taint of every thing ignoble Ana base, even in his greatest enterprises, combining the character of a subverter of tia-ones, that of a lark. ing spy, presented a sort of JapiterScapits, a spec tacle which had hitherto never appealed on the of the earth. Napoleon was insane—not Item the derareniett of the mental faculties, but from that perdue ex gersted opinion of self, in consequence in which every thine is overdone, which prompts one to go on with out ever calculating, to spend constantly Without ever reckeniag ; wlecli makes a man who fiat evercente many obstacles, come at last to lielie . ve that he will always overcoine them; or that there are e‘i longer any obstacles far laird. The fecility which Napoleon had always found itt, obedience Made hint conclude that he 1):1,1 nothing Co do but trf and that When he snohe, execetiun would in fallibly :Row. Such was the foily of Ntpeleen to which I eoutd ass a degrees, and which f might attacii w the eiv)ch of the battle of Wagratn, or of ins marriage, An err& at which his reason ccastng to gede him„ or, perhaps, to appear to himnecessary, lie abarlhined himself; encenstraineJ, lathe exaggerations which disorgenised France, and have terminated in htr nun. As to his mind, or what has been 'called his ge nius, If nothing ha's ever been more celebrated, no thing also has been less justly appreciated. With sortie It was immensity, with Others nullity. Sublime with ruse, contemptible _with another. Even now, when the meteor is dissipated, there is as little veer. dance as triter ; so true it is that calmness, ti e cond deration of times, circumstances, and means s.lehais guide us its forming our opinion of men. But doubil ss an irnmen:Ae weight has not pressed on the world without possessing some specific gra vity. The most brilliant military career has t/een the lot of one destitute of all the clualitieS which con stitute the Great Captain: Prodigious labruis hive not been conceived, proseenten with inLiedible firmness, and executed without some ot those quali ties which constitute a statesman ot the tiist oraer. flowevit, misfortunes such as the rri ild never ex perienced, a hatred such as it never exhaled—a posi tion such as never was created by man, Inst by a .c -ries of faults surpassing in ex;rnt and obstinacy, alt those which ever caused the ruin of any Wet - t f na tions:—.m end hopeless tram its lowness, and still more shameful to the world who hasten:lvied than to him who received adbritiuns ; such is the character of a career which has been divided tietween th e highest flif;!its and the lowest falls; betwevb t h e " nun brilliant grandeur and the most abject k l agradatioai between the citremes of ability and ut It is said that the Duke Of EASItANO Glint r) re. ceived three bayonet wounds in an uss:ess resistance he made against the soldiers charged to secure his person.
