It seems aka% that in the course of yesterday the Prussian vanguard came in contact with the Russian corps of which we have spoken ; that these corps united Are now co French ground. The number of prisoners taken by the Prussian army confounds the imagina tion ; it is made to amount to 65,000: the dreadful disorganisation of the French army gives a degree of probability to this report. Whole battalions of le confederates of Burgundy and Franche Compte threw down their arms. BRUSSELS, JUNE 21. Bonaparte returned through Chatleroy with the remains of his army, estimated at only 25,000 men. They were in the greatest disorder, and committed nany e;cesses on the road. _Sawa this morning the report is current that Phi.

Bonaparte passed through this place yesterday at one o'clock --he had on a gay surtout and a round hat—he.took the road to Aveines: 64 Disorder increases every moment in the French army, and the grant of discipline is at *the highest pitch. The soldiers think themselves betrayed, and • very one manifests 40 with to return to his home. 66 At Beaumont all fled at the first alarm—almost at the gate of the town we found a piece of cannon .Lbandoned, and two more on the road to fiobre-lc- Chateau. They say that the enemy has set on tire a train of pontoons near the village of Clermont. I Lope I shall be able to save some of them .

We are now about to reap thelrults of WELLING TON': glorious labours. Once more we have to pre sencour Readers with a mass of intelligence, of the Most gratifying description, from France. Bowattra has once more, as a beaten and cowardly fugitive • from his Army, returned to Paris, and attempted a repetition of the stale trick of abdicating the Throne. And Louts XVIII. the •irtuous and legitimate Sovereign of France, has hoisted the Royal French Standard, the emblem of true glory and national prosperity, at Mons ! We con gratulate the civilized world on this coasummation to the wishes of all good men. BONAPARTE and his principles are, in short, on the eve of being exterminated ! We shall now lay the details before our Readers as they have reached us : On the 19th, in the morning, all the Bonapartist: in Paris were in high spirits; they believed all the lies Which he had .sent them from his head.quarters,, aad the French funds opened at 57. Soon, however, they fell to liat. Towards evening the reverses of the 19th were guessed at, if not made known, and all was doubt and dismay. Next day, being the 20th, the paralyzing intelligence of the ruin of the army reached Paris, magnified perhaps by the fears or wishes of the various relaters. At length the Nero of the Drama himself arrived : he hastily summoned his Rump Parliament together, and their lank Jacobin faces were doubtless lengthened a few inches by the recital of the overthrow of their dearest hopes. The Chief of the rebels, with a candour exceeding that of the Duke of WELLINGTON himself, informed his at Cousins andCouncillors,"that ahhoughsomebrillianttriumphs crowned the opening of the campaign, reverses thick ened upon him on the 18th. Up to six o'clock in the evening of that memorable day, he tells them that the impetuosity and ardour of the troops had sur mounted every obstacle, and the French army was the point of reaping the most perfect harvest of glory from tl.e efforts they had made, whet; the Eng lish were reinforced by the advance of . the 1)111'bl:114 on the left flank, as well as on his rear; that in this moment the English cavalry made a successful at tack on the Cuirassiers,.who gave way, and the im petuosity of the new Imperial guard exposed them to the superior numbers of the English, by whom they 'were salami, that is, cut in upon, or a slight impres lion made on•them—at this moment the (disaffected) in the army, called out " save qui pent," (sew lawarY ado cam . whkh put the whole into utter *inimical, and dm' kit wing, " a erilierement dispare , has wholly disappeared. In consequence of this disas trous event he left, his Generals to rally and unite the dispersed remains of the army, the whole loss of which was estimated at from .50 to 60,000 men. The statement concludes with the words—" que la journee etoit la plus glorieuse et la plus funeste pour la France," 9( the day was at once the, most glorious and the Most disastrous for France.) The veteran traitor Catminr then delivered a most revolutionary and furious harangue to the Ragga muffins, who call themselves the Preach House 01 kepresentatives. In the precise terms of the Jacobin Clubs of Paris in 1792, in which CARNOT was not only a most diligent Spouter, but an active Propa gandist of their principles,, this hoary headed mis creant proposed that the Sitting should be made per manent—that it should be held treason for any Member to absent himself—that the levy en mane should be ordered—and that a Committee should be fiesned for taking all other such measures as the saigeacy of the moment should require. Hereupon the Assembly of Representatives declared their sittings permanent. Many infitunmatory speeches were made; but all the Speakers disclaimed any, in tendon of identifying BONAWITZ with France. This was acting like true Jacobiass to support their cham pion in skive:sky, is no part of the creed of these mongrehrin philosophy and politica. BOMAI'ARTS, during this scene of uproar, was wait lug the pleasure of thew Gentlemen Ott the Palace Elysie, with all his Ministers around him. The events whiCh were passing had transpired among the populace, and. a few blackguards in the streets liouted Viva PEsatierar ! The impatience onto Representatives to hear what BoNaraurs nest intended to do was .0 its height.— A message was sent to them from the Council to say that in biz hours a communication would be made to them. To which they replied, that they would only allow one hour for a message to know the determina tion of the En/411101G Upon which RIM/N, AULT DC ST JeAN D'AMISLY, as the organ of the Comic.' of Mi. niaters, stated to the !stream! in plain terms, that the interests of France demanded TMAT His WI , - ADDICATZ Ttti TalitONE. - BONAPARTZ said, ‘• What! do yea say so ?—Re its, Brute I" To which RECIMAULT answered, --g , Your Majesty may believe that it is with grief of heart that I an nounce' to you the fatal necessity, but the well-being of France demands this iacriacc at your hands."— BONAPArtilt then proposed to abdicate in favosr of his son. This was announced to the Assemble; but It was declared to be insufficient. "rho %bellow doe must be uncedditional, that they might be left free to take such measures for the presaratioa of , • 'their independidee as might be best calculated to the' exigency of their affairs. BONAPARTII then sent . .Message to the two Houses, that he abdicated the Throne, and relied on their w!tdolit and firmness to take measures I* the preservatiki of the Empire: The Asseibbly received this intimation with respect, and *ith a vote of approbation. They then proceeded td 'constitute a provisional Government, and CARNO Fouctie, and others, were appointed a Committee of public safety. Various propositioas were made. One was to send a deputation to the Duke of WELLIsa- TON, to desire a cessation of hostilities, to give time for the formation of a new Government, but this was overruled as derogatory to the dignity of France.— In the mean tithe Couriers were dispatched to every part of France to announce this most important event to the public functionaries ; and some resolutions were passed, relative to the integrity and independence of France, or to perish in the struggle. How eventful is the present period ! the history of the world furnishes nothing that presents any pa rallel to the wonderful occurrences which now follow each other in such quick succession. What will now be the conduct of the perjured scoundrels who take upon them to direct the affairs of France. They turned their back upon their legitimate Sovereign to make court to an unprincipled U►urper—they have now compelled the Tyrant to renounce the Throne a second time—that they may again swear allegiance to another II They may try to throw the blame of all that . has happened upon the , 4 defeated Cap !tain" who led forth their youth to slaughter : but could he have inflicted such misery upon the world had they not become accessaries and lent him their aid and intbence? There is not a man among them who does not deserve the gallows; and if their lives be spared they will owe it to a clemency to which they have no claim. Let us hope that the Allies will not a second time, from a mistaken magnanimity, suffer the arch-mur derer to escape the proper reward of his crimes.— Mercy a second time to such a miscreant will be crueky and injustice to their own subjects—to the men who by their loyalty, their sacrifices, and their blood, have purchased for them their Fesent triumph. The following Letters from the Coast came to hand this morning: RAMSGATE, JUNE 24. Arrived this morning from Ostend, left yester day afternoon at one, the Lord Liverpool and Sir William Curtis Packets, bringing over a great many passengers ; amongst them were Captains CHAPLIN and GRUNTED, of the Coldstream Guards.

Sir ThiozdAs's corps bore the very brunt of the attack. The Duke of WALLINGTON had no less than forty persons killed i , •around him. His escape is almost miraculous. " Medical aid is much wanted ; from its want many have died. There is nothing certain as to either VANDAMME, JIEIIO/414 or MURAT. I have just been another Gentleman who came in the packet. 14 . 1 assures me that 18,000 Russian Cavalry are couti- deafly said to have joined the Army. The loss of the British, in killed and wounded, does net exceed 10,000 men, of whom 800 are Officers. Bt.ticinut lost 10,000 the first day; that of the French cannot be accurately ascertained. The Belgians fought ad. mirabiy. Fifty-five thousand was the outside of the Allied iknny (not including BLucura's) opposed to the whole of BONAPAATeII force." “ DOVER, J UNE 24. a A vest deal of distant firing was heard here yesterday evening, and nearly the whole of this day, and appeared to be from the French land in the di• rotation of Dunkirk.

BONAPARTE returned to Paris from the Aral on the 21st s on that day there were very tumultuous debates in the two Houses of Representatives, on the necessity of BONAPARTE'S abdication. On the 22d, he sent in hit abdication in favour of his Son, as NArnLwN the SECOND. This abdication was Accept; (.(1 simply without any condition in favour of his Son, and a Provisional Government appointed, consisting OI CARROT, FOUCIIE, CMJTAINCOURT, GP.RRIER, and another, to treat With the Allied Generals for Peace. :t was attempted in debate, by the Miaister of the Interior, to shew that Soma had rallied 60,0(0 men itt the Northern frontier ;'but this was denied by Marshal Net with warmth, who asserted that 20,000 sued was the utmost number that could be mustered, .and that the Allies could pass the frontier and be at Palls in Si: or seven days." 'Co the above we have to add, that the violence of NET in the debate on Thursday was excasive. He looked ferociously at CARNdT t while the hoary wretch was coolly misleading the Assembly about the re. •odreis of France, and suddenly suruci up, exclaina ing, « Vow der un avnieur," You are a Liar ! NKY said, that tufa the Imperial Guards, he com manded that fine body of men in the battle of the 18th, and he had no hesitation in saying, that they were annihilated : he remained with the eagles tlntil the last man left alive ran away from them.— He boldly denounced CARNOT and Follette, as the cause of all the bloodshed in the late battles ; and said, that they had deceived and misled him by the most barefaced treachery and lies. He repeatedly threatened to strike CAnNot in the course of his speech. There is a report in the City t7lac BONA • PARTE has been arrested by CARNOT and Fouc&ik, as a plike !or their own personal safety. No such accounts him been received by Government.
