THE BATTLFS BETWEEN THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND BONAPARTE. The general expectation excited by . the news of yesterday horn the theatre of war was not relieved by the Arrival of the Government Dispatches, which were and still are expected every moment. The first intelligence was brought by Mr. Surrox, of Colches ter, the proprietor of the passage vesselebetween that pu t and Ostend. He happened to be at Ostend lichen the news of the conflict arrived, and instantly pat to sea in one of his packets to hasten with the kitelligence to Government. The Brussels Mail to the Ibth also brought, in the course of the day, a variety of letters ; but the official details alone will put the Public in possession of the particulars.- -There seems to be sonic mistake about datei in the accounts that have arrived : some making the move client of the French to have been on the 15th, and the principal fighting 9u the 10th ; others make the at., taoif to have been on the 16th, And the great battle on the ltth, and to have been still continued on the 18th. Without attempting to determine which is the correct day, we shall here state what appears to be the sub stance of the intelligence, referring our Readers for the general particulars, to the letters and. extracts given in the preceding columns. On Thursday or Friday last BONAPARTE, after leltiving in the Prussian outpost: between the Sambre and Meuse, forced the passage of the Sambre at Charleroi, an unfortitied town, about thirty-five miles south of Brussels. Here a 'most desperate conflict ensued between the Prussians and the French in the .Stratall, and the town was taken and retaken several times, but at length BONAPARTE remained master of it. On this occasion General B e.uiroeT was killed. He was ab ancient Vendesn Chief, and it is believed wa. lotted in the ranks of BoNeetare much against his inclination, as being the most likely way to fur nish him with an opportunity to join the standard of the Xing. This seems the more probable from the circum stance of the Officers of his Staff having since all copse over in a body to the Kinn at Ghent. BONA. PASTS% manifest object w is to penetrate between the Prussians and the English, and march at once to Brussels; the possession of which he doufeless , thought would vivre great eclat to the opening of the campaign. He had flattered hitnielf that the British troops were trio much scattered to be able to stop his march to Brussels, where ,he bad Mctually promised ricxr I in:td. The 1 Duke of WELLINGTON, tiwn at Brussels, received the intelligence about midnight, and in three hours he had collected all the force in and abort Brussels, and marched off to meet the enemy. Meanwhile the rebels made a furious onset upon the bunswickersj L and Belgians, who though much inferior in numbers received them with the greatest gallantry, when si eireumstar.ce occurred highly honourable to the Bel jeans, and which covered their adversaries with con fusion. The rebel French, supposing the Bi.lgiass ; to be as perfidious as themselves, approached, calling on them to join their " favourite Empe ror ;" but the call was treated aids the most pro , yoking iontempt, and the brave Belgians shewed by ,something More forcible than words, that they were siesolied to conquer or die for their King and cam wit Pitriently WELLI/A43TON himself. came into the Boilial4its ton was said tb in present with the rebels. A most ianguinarY clamber now ensued, and the battle raged till tea at light; when the French were forced to retiribefote their opPonents, who bivouacked on the field of battle. The Yrussiani having On their Part apprOtinsited to the English in the course of this day, the junction of the two armies of BLuckatt and Wet.uadtost Vris stetted at Cenappe, where the latter slept on Friday night. BOAAPAiTit slept, or Most probably from vezatiOn and rage, passed a sleepless night at Charleroi. Oa the 17th thbre ap art to have ban only skirmishing I but fresh rein forcements Iran momentirilp coming up to the Al lies ; so that on the 18th ISONAIiARTa was constrained altogether to abandon his attempt t and before Mr. StniON dame away, the cannonading in the line of retreat sufficiently proyed that the French troops had fought refuge within their own frontier. We conjec ture, however, that they would not be suffered quietly to retrograde, but won d be closely pushed by the Prussian and British cavalry, which was advancing ea their left flank, and would in all probability drive them for safety within ,their entrenched camp at Maubenge. '1 he recite of the principal contest was between Nivelle. and Fleurus. At one time the British and French welo so ch:sely engaged, that the personal staff of the Duke of IVELLINOTON were intermixed with the Fiend' cavalry. The total loss of the Al lies is estimated at nearly )Ooo—that of the French at 5000. The infantry reements which suffered most in the desper.tte action of ti;te 16th (or 17th) were the Old and 4*h regiments. The former were resting in M corii.field, after a tn..trch of 19 miles, and waitirg for their rations, when the Cuirassiers of the Itnpe -1141 Cituarls cut is upon and although they .: c • lit 4 • • • ` l4. *. t 4 4,1 116 114110 received open the pig of their bayonets,' is A Mien having formed anis i anW sqiiare, the attar! *le so'far stateessful, 'that Ibe reginient was pearl) cut to pieces. !rely man who was Itilltd or-wounded fell when he stood at the first onset. We are torsi to.add, that, Only about 80 rank aid, Me of this gallant Regiment escaped unhurt. The Rebels who attackei were litl - annihilated, partly by the steady fire of the 414 themselves, and partly by the coming up of othei Regiments. The British corps which starred most was the 44th ; only sixteen rank and 'file and three subalterns were able to do duty after the action. The remains of the Regiment were, in fact, ulti mately . commanded by a Junior Lieutenant. With the exception of the Battle of Albucra, no simil game occurs, perhaps, in military annals of such a dreadful carnage in particular regiments. On that occasion the gallant 445th went into action, about 450 strong : 14 only appeared at muster at the dose of the action, and of these biz only could stand on theirlegs t the whole 14 were , i n f act , woulded.— It wis the Lancers who did vx much execu;ion ou ,thatoccasion. kbattle cootested with so much obstinacy. the loss of .ofiisers could not be otherways than gteat.— 'Vint fesbear to mention the names of any but those in every one's mouth.

The following are the Liters receivea this morning from the coast : " DOVER, JUNE 20.

The for• rear regiment was attacked In a corn field, whirls they were restistafter having marched 19 miles, and without rations, by a very superior force, and was nearly ail killed and wounded; the enemy teas however arrested by three or four regiments and repulsed. The French bad a great deal of artillery In the action, , and we had only six pieces. It certainly was the intention of BONAPMITIL to have endeavound to have pushed on at to!ce for Brussels. The gallant Duke of Bay xswicc was shot whilst at tempting to clear a wood of the enemy, by a Frenehinau con cealed. His Royal Highness's remains were carried to Antwerp.

A tendeman, whq left Ghent on Monday evening, and arrived in Town in the course of last night, his brought several interesting and satisfactory particnbus respecting the Battle. He states, that BONAPARTE'S Army was nearly destroyed.—He accounts for the deliy in the official dispatches by Lord WELLINGTON Wishing to transmit the entire result of the movements, which it is believed at Ghent will include the entire overthrow of the Grand Army. Marshal Nay was killed on Sunday, on which day the final destruction of the French army took place. It was not General BERTRAND who was taken pri soner and carried into Brussels on the first day of the engagement, but a nephew of his ; and so incensed were the inhabitants a . s.inst Lisa that it was with the greatest difficulty his guards could prevent his being sacrificed to their reueatmenr.
