My military duties not per mitting me to be present in the Chamber yesterday' morning, I did not learn till to-day from the Journals, the speeches delivered at that sitting. I have seen with regret what was said to diminish the glory of our arms, to exaggerate our disasters, and depreciate cur resources.. My astonishment was the greater, that the speech purported to proceed from a distin guished General, who, by his valour and military skill, has so often deserved well of the nation. I thought it my duty to ascertain that the meaning of Marshal Ney had been mistaken and misrepresented. The interview which I had with him this morning has satisfied me that I was not mistaken. The General then proceeded to give a detail of what he called this short and unfortunate campaign, in which it is unnecessary to follow him. He con cluded the whole with the following statements : " Such is the exposition of that fatal day. It ought to have crowned the glory of the French army, de stroyed the hopes of the enemy, and perhaps soon' given to France that peace so much cleared ; but HEAVEN decided otherwise : it willed, that after so many catastrophes, our unhappy country should be once more exposed to the ravages of foreigners.— Although our losses be considerable, our position is not desperate. The resources that remain to us 'are very great, if we choose to employ them with energy. The corps commanded by Marshal Grouchy, and composed of the 3d and 4th of infantry, and a large corps of cavalry, has effected its retreat by Namur ; it has reentered France by Givet and Rocroy. Its materiel is untouched, The remains of the corps beaten et St. Jean already.form a respectable mass, which is daily augmenting. The Minister at War has announced to the Chambers that he bas at his disposal 20,000 men, taken from the depots. The measures taken by the Chambers to summon to the defence of the country all the men fit to bear arms, will 'produce a great number of battalions, if the le vying, the brigaling, and the formation of them are ' pressed with all possibje activity. The loss of our materiel may be repaired. We have at Paris 3000 pieces of cannon with their munitions ;—the half of them would replace those we have lost. Let the Chambers take the necessary measures, and in 24 is stirs a city like Paris could furnish the neceilsary horses and conductors. 44 I cannot too strongly repeat, that the recent catastrophe should not discourage a great and noble nation. If we have the necessary energy, our cala mities will only set off our glory; and what sacrisc.e should seem great to the true friends of their country, at a moment when the Sovereign whom we lately proclaimed and invested with our confidence has just made the greatest surfaces ? tile battle of Cantle the Roman Senate voted thanks to the van quished General, who-had . not despaired of the safety of the Republic, and employed itself without relaxa tion in providing him means to repair the disasters occasioned by his obstinacy and bad arrangements. In circumstances less critical than these, would the Representatives of the Nation despond, and forget the dangers of the country to employ themselves in ill-timed discussions, instead of resorting to that remedy which secures the safety of France ?" It was moved that this speech be printed to the number of six copies. Ordered. The sitting was suspended for three hours in ex pectation of a message from the Cnamber of Repre sentatives, for which see that head. At a quarter past four the message was announced, and Count LACEPEDB took the chair. M. Tntsaricsu read the message. Several hieinbers—To the vote ! others demanded a second reading, which was clone. Another Member.—There is nothing to be said upon it ; the sole question is, whether the Chamber adopts the conclusions of the Chamber of Represen tat Ives ? *The PEESIDENT.—The Chamber has passed to the order of the day; we have no deliberation to enter into. M. THIBAJJDZAU.—It appears that the Chamber of Peers cannot deliberate on the question; I have not therefore awl because it is my intention to open a discussion ; but 1 will avail myself of this oppor tunity to state, that the veil which we heard talked of yesterdoy, is note ;mimed to, the satisfaction of France, because it appeare4: to . , res'ail a government weak and degraded, a gdverftent destructitie of bur r os, a goveroment,ssigeb shwa/A harmonise with our inusteeti. as lormedithesit 941 rears past.

The Russian troop have passed the Rhine. The Bavarian troops are also well forward ; they set off 10,000 in number from Manheim on the 19th, fol lowed by a pulk of Don Cossacks and several Rua- I sian regiments of cavalry with field-pieces. The whole force passed over to the French side on the ►9th was about . 20,000 men; and other forces are pressing forward. Their arrival will be most season. able, as no breathing time will be allowed to the enemy to attempt to collect the scattered remains of the French Army. We subjoin a Proclamation of the honest and vfeh tried veteran Durcagn. He owns, with greet frank ness, the successes of the enemy on their first attack, and gives becoming praise to his troops for the cou rage with which they notwithstanding advanced to support " the brave English."

We hope and trust that he will perish in no such manner. He must die under the gripe of the COMMA executioner, otherwise the sacred cause of truth and justice will not be fully triumphant. The inglorious scoundrel ought to be dragged on a hurdle, like the vilest cri minal, through every street in Paris, and the gibbet ought to be erected on the summit of the column in the Place Vendome, which was once disgraced by the monster's statue.

A great part of the Dnicc of Wellington's army passed the day before yesterday by Mons and the en virons, to advance into the Frensh territory. Mon sieur the Count d'Artois arrived at Mons yesterday evening, and the military household of the King of France, which was at Alost, as well as the vokinteers who were dispersed in Flanders, set out today for Mons. This little corps is estimated at 4000 men, of whom SOO are cavalry. The Cent Swisses were to arrive at Ghent to-day, whence they nal fellow I..:;uis XVIII.. On the field of battle, where the glorious victory of the 18th was gained, there are 126 French can nons, which will be shortly brought into this city, ornamented with ribbands and flowers. There is also a portable observatory, on which Bo naparte was mounted during the bloody action which has for ever decided his fate. Among the heaps of dead which are found there, we remark an immense number of French cuirassiers, who peri shed osi that dreadful day ; the ground is covered with horses, cuirasses, and arms. People are employed at this moment in burying the dead, and piles of wood are going to be raised to consume the bodies, which might cause an infection in the neighbouring country. Every other precaution has been taken. Prince Talleyrand arrived here to-day, and is ' going immediately to Mons. BRUSSELS, JUNE 24. The waggons with wounded French, which arrived here yesterday, are innumerable. The greatest care is taken of these poor sufferers. The service of the hospitals is wholly organised. A deputation from the Hague has brought, in the nameot that town, the sum of 10,000 Rains for the relief of the wounded ; a deputation from Rotterdam is expected to-morrow. A great many boats, with English artillery, arrived here yesterday. The Duke of Wellington's head-quarters were on the 21st at Malplaquet, where the Duke of Marlbo rough and Prince Eugene gained, in 1709, the me. movable victory over the French, commanded by Marshal Villars. It is stated that the entrenched camp of Maubeuge is in the hands of our troops. BRUSSELS, JUNE 2.5. 'Namur was on the 19th the theatre of a very obsti sate, bat happily very short combat. The French corps which was in the environs of Wave* baying 'taken its way on the night of Monday towards Na. a Prussian division went in pursuit of it. Mont ten o'dock the cannonade was beard to approach, and Won the fire of musketry was distinguished. In the afternoon a strong detachment of French cavalry ap peared at the gates of the town, and required to pass through in order to . go to Givet.. As the place was without a garrison, it was necessary to admit the ene- Taf f , who continued to arrive during the day and the day following. Abosafour in the afternoon, the rear guard of the French shut the gates, and commenced a brisk fire from theaamparts wpm the first columns of the Prussians. About six o'clock the firing ceased. The French hastily abandoned the ramparts, which ;Were scaled by the Prussians. A warm but short ac .bon commenced in the street, which ended in the pre cipitate retreat of the enetny towards Dinant. The glacis, the avenue to the Brussels gate, and part of, the surrounding field, are strewed with killed and , Wounded. Among the great number of officers of rank who came into the town, we remarked Marshal Grouch), Gens. Vandamme, Excelmans, and PajoL MONS, JUNE NI. The head-quarters of the Duke of Wellington are to-day at Cateau-Cambresis, which proves how great a progress our victorious troops have already made in the French territory. We expect the immediate surrender of Ma&ieuge. It is announced that the Duke of Berri will arrive this evening at Atli, and that the Kieg of France will ar rive to-morrow at Mons, from whence it is believed he will proceed to. Maubeuge, the gates of which will be opened to him by the garrison. AA accounts from the interior of France speak of the excellent disposition of men's minds. It is at this moment announced that the army of General Travot, beaten in La Vendee, has been obliged to capitulate. JUNE 23.—His Majesty Louis XVIII. the Count d'Artois, and the Duke de Berri, have arrived this afternoon, with the royal army at Mons; the for tresses of Ivlaubeuge, Avesnes, and Quemoy are, it is said, preparing in open their gates to them.

The complete route of the Fritsch army, which had only 27 pieces of cannon lett, had deter mined the chiefs of the Allied Armies to penetrate s without hesitation, into the heart of France. The taking of Massbeuge is not confirmed. Avesnes was taken on the 22.1; 45 pieces of cannon were found in s it : the garrisons of the frontier places ate almost en titely composed of N ttion4l Guards; there are it mi s: 4,000 troops of the line.
