NAINATivt _OF 'AtialAit PERATIONS IN !RANCE AND IS BELGIUM) OURING 'IGNORE!) 1)A18- WRITTEN AT ST. H E LENA HT GENERAL GOURGAUD. The Public have for some time been looking, with considerable anxiety, for a promised Account of the Campaign of 1815, by General Gourgaud, one of the Aid-de-Camps of Bonaparte, who accompanied him to St. Helena. It was generally understood that this account, if not written to the dictation of the Ex-Emperor, •-as at least drawn up from informa tion co mmunicated by him to General Gourgaud.— An account 4of the Battle of Waterloo, respecting which such V.Uious statements have been given, and so mats) , dam ent judgments have been pronounced, emanating in any way from the distinguished indivi dual at the head of the French army on that day, inde pendent of all other merits, must possess no ordinary ♦alue, as a document for history. The promised work has at -length appealed, and, before yroceeclini to lay an account of it heiore our Readers, we shall first satisfy a desire which they can tcarcely fail to have, namely, of knowing the share which Napoleon may have had in its composition. The Emperor Napoleon having deigned to make me ac ipaiated with Ws opinion respecting the principal cperations of ca,upaign of 1115; I availed myself of that favourable cir cumstance, and of my recollections of that grand catastrophe of which I had been a witness, to write this relation. Amap of the country which was the theatre of the principal military operations, is prefixed to the pub lication. From this map the movements of the dif ferent armies may be understood without difficulty. General Gourgaud tells us in a preliminary notice: Since my return to Europe, I have read many publicatigns on the same subject. Most of the authors appeared to me to ltave been actuated either by passion or hatred ; some have been blinded by an excessive national partiality; very few have en deavoured to give a correct idea of what happened. Error, by being often repeated, is always at last taken for reality ; and I seas therefore of opinion, that as it was in my power to destroy• it, a longer silence on my part would be blameable. The publication consists of twelve Chapters, oc• cupying 129 pages, with an Appendix of 79 pages. The Appendix:contains detailed accounts of the num bers of the French, Anglo-Dutch, and Prussian ar mies, and the various official dispatches. The first Chapter is occupied with the situation of the Allied Powers, and the second with the situation► of the French armies in April, May, and June, and the preparations made for the defence of France. The nulit.wy state of France, it is said, had been so reduced, that that rower could scarcely, in the course of April, assemble an army of 100,000 men, a force barely sufficient for the supply of garrisons to our fortresses. There remained no disposable forces for a moveable army. . . . . ' " - • ' " lv the beginning of June the whole of the army of the line was disposable for offensive operations ; all our grand establish ments, all oar fortresses bring guarded by numerous battalions of National Guards d'elite, receiving pay. At that period we had nearly 250,000 infantry, but of which 120,000 only were dressed, equipped, and disposable; the rest could only be ready In the course of June, July, and August ; 50,000 mounted ca valry, of which 30,000 were ready to enter the field, the rest would be ready successively in the course of the same months ; the artillery bad already from 6 to 700 guns mounted, as well as their double supply ; they were served by good gunners, in dependently of companies of field artillery of the line distributed in all our places for their defence. The whole formed an army of more than 550,000 effective mcn, of whom nearly 180,000 were ready for the field, and 150,000 in fortresses. Lastly, all the measures were taken fur a new levy, and arming of three huldred thousand men. We have the following account of the formation and distribution of the French forces in the beginning of June: In the first days of June all the troops of the Empire were formed into seven Corp. d'Arince, four Corps of Observation, and a Vendean Army. The first Corps d'Armee Was at Lille, composed of sixteen regiments. of infantry, and three of cavalry, which made four divisions of infantry and one of cavalry ; in all 19,000 foot and 1,500 cavalry. General Belong commanded it. Tine second Corps, composed in a similar manner, and of a force nearly equal to the first, occupied Valenciennes ' untie; eke orders of General keille . The third, commanded by General VancLumne, U 33 at Mesieres ; it had only three divisions of infantry and one of cavalry. The fourth Corps, under the orders of General Gerard, was at Metz, and guarded the 3loselle; it had the saine composition an the third, but a regiment less; and those which composed it were weak. Tye fifth Corps, under General Rapp, was in Alsace; it had three divisions of infantry and one of cavalry. The sixth Corps, commanded by General de Lo %au, was ...imposed of nine regiment; of iafantry and three re gitneuts of cavalry : it occupied Laon. The fourth regiments of every division had been retained in La Vendee. The seventh . Corps, at Cliamheri, under the command of Marshal Sucher, was formed of two dividans of infantry and one of cavalry, and of two divisions of National Guards, of Dauphiny and the Lionnals. The Corps of Observation of the Var, commanded by Anibal Brune, had three regiments of infantry and one of cavalry, General Lecourbe commanded, at Befort, a Corps of Observation of three renintents of infantry and three of cavalry; be was supported by a great number of battalions of paid Na tional Guards of Franche Comte: he was to watch Basle, Ilu stinguen, and to defend the Jura. Two Corps of Observation, one at Bourdeaux, under General °angel, the other at Thou. louse, under Oeneral Decaen, bad three regiments of infantry 'and one of cavalry. In eac h of those towns they were rein forczd by all the levies of the paid National Guards of Langue doc ; but they were obliged to detach a regiment front each of them. 'these two regiments were sent into La Vendee. The army of La Vendee, commanded by General Lamarque, con sisted of eight regiments of Infantry of the line, two of young guards, two of cavalry, and ten squadrons of gent d'armerie, partly foot and partly horse, forming more than 3,000 gens d'ar:nes. Thropghont all the different Corps d'Armee the mean fore of each reglimmt of infantry wan from 1,100 to 1,10011101 present under arms, and the force of the cavalry from four to Lee hundred. Of the 300 battalions of Notional Guards, organized and paid, za were destined to form a reserve of infantry on the Loire. The reserve of cavalry was composed of fcur Corps, each of two divisions, each division having three regiments, amounting to nearly .3,000 horse per corps. They were cau tioned between the Aisne, the Meuse, and the Sambre. The ret, cutnmandcd by General Pajol, was light cavalry; the so cond; under General Excilmans, was dragoons; the third and fourth corps, under Generals Alilhaut and Kellerman, were all cuirassiers. The Jrtillery of each corps was composed of eight guns per dig E;iov of infantry; one horse battery of six pieces per division valry ; and a battery of reserve of eight pieces of twelve rr corps d'arnice. In the third chapter, General Gourrrad enters on ete various plans of operations, defensive and offen sive, which were in agitation at the time, and gives us an accourt of the reasons which inducel Napo leon to adopt the offensive. He informs us that The k.mperor had a repugnance to 35andon at the way com mencement of the cimpaign, withoet defence, to the ravages of the en:my, the Provinces the most devoted to the rational cause. Alsace, L.. raine, Bkrgurdy, Francheeonne, the Departments of the At:z.se, DAupbitiy, Picardy, and all the environs of Pads. In the fourth chapter we have an account of the opening of the campaign. The force which crossed the Sambre under Napoleon, is stated at 83,500 in fantry, 21,503 cavalry, 3.53 guns, which, with the artil: - ry troops, &c. forn.-(1 a total of 11::,0iX) men, of W.. 003 24v000 wcrc cavalry. Tian Prussian army. under Blucher is stated at 120,000 men, of whom 18,000 were cavalry, arid 300 glum. The Anglo ' Dutch army is ma4e to amount to 10'2,500 men, and 1258 guns. The head-quarters of Blucher were at Namur, 16 leagues from Brussels, the head-quarters of the Duke of Wellington. I It. was calculated, says General Gourgaud, that at break of day , of the 15th the first shots would be fired on the Prussian ad vowed posts. The Prussian head-quarters would in that case i be i firmed at ten o'clock of the movement of the French army, whi st that of the English would only.be informed towards the close ut the day. The Prussian army, Informed eight or ten hours before the English army, would be the first assembled. The hope was even conceived of being able to attack it before its four corps should , join, or of obliging it to take a position in the rear, in the direc tion of Liege and of the Rhine, which was its line of operations, and thus separating it from the English army, give occasion to ' other combinations. In these calcuhtions the character of the Generals in Chief were taken into consideration. The hussar habits of Nlarthal Bin:act, his activity, and his decided character, formed a strong contrast with the circumspect character, the slow and methodi cal manner of proceeding of the Duke of Wellington. It was easy to foresee that the Prussian army would be the first assembled, as also that it would shew most decision and promptitude in flying to the assistance of its ally. If Blucher had only had two battalions assembled, be would have em ployed them in supporting the English army ; and on the other hand, unless Wellington had all his army together, he would not attack the French to relieve Blneher. All these reasons made it desirable to ing the Prussian army. We are told, that • In the night between the lath and 16th, the respective posi tion. the three armies were as follow:—The French head quarters were at Charleroi, the Prussian at Namur, and the English at Brussels. • with attack. The left of the French army, under the command of Mardis'. Ney, had its head-quarters at Gosselines, its advanced guard at Prunes; the corps of General &lite between Gonelies and Frasnes, having a division (Girard) at Vigines, in the direction of ileums; the corps of General d'Erlong between Nlarchiennes and Julmet. 'l'he centre, formed of the corps of Vandatnnte, and the re serves of cavalry 'of Grouchy, bordering the woods opposite Fkurus. The right, formed of the corps of General Girard, having passed the Sombre, was in front of le Cletelet. The Imperial Guard, in echelon, between Ileums and Chaff leroi. The Sixth Corps in front of that town. The Corps of Cuirassiers of Kellerman with the great park of artillery, on the left bank of the Sambre, behind Charleroi. The Prussian Army bad its first Corps collected at Mums; the three otter corps in movement, to assemble at their points of concentration, in order to move afterwards on Sombref and The English Army had just received orders to assemble. Du ring the wiasle of the movement.; of the 15th, the Dukeof Wel lington had remained tranquil at Brussels. About seven or eight o'clock in the evening he had received a courier from Blu cher, who announced to him that hostilities were commenced ; that a strong French reconnoissance had sabred several of his advanced posts. But the English General, waiting till the move ment was more pronounced, had given no order of march. It was net till midnight that a second courier from Blucher communicated to him ai the Ball the news of the French hav ing taken Chatlerol, that the Duke ordered the Generale to be beat, and dispatched to the cantonments orders for the instant assemblage of tl.•e troops. The corps of the Duke of Bruns wick and the division of General Picton, which were at Brus sel+, were first ready, and at break of day they began their nwsch to Charleroi. Marshal Ney, with 46,780 men, and 116 guns, on the 15th was ordered to drive every thing before him on .the road from Gosselies to Brussels, and to take position at Quatre Bras. This most important ope ration was not executed in time by Ney. In a Note, we are informed that " the recollection of his con duct in 1814, and latterly in March, 1815, affected his mind to such a degree as to be perceptible in all his actions." On the morning of the 16th, Napoleon gave orders to General Kellerman to advance with hts corps of Cuirassiers from Charleroi to Quatre Bras, to rein force the left under Ney. He sent orders to the latter to move forward with the whole of his left so rein forced, and to take a good position beyond that of Quatre Bras, as he had not taken it the night before, and in case the Prussian army, as was supposed, should receive battle near Fleurus or Gembloux, to' make a detachment by the road from Quatre Bras to Namur, on the right flank of the Prussians The Aid- de-camp Fleurus was dispatched to the Marshal to urge and follow this whole movement. Napoleon marched on Fleurus with the whole centre, with the exception of the sixth corps, left at Charleroi. General Gourgaud calculates the Prussian force at Ligny at 90,000, and the French at 58,250. Th e position of the Prussians, though strong in itself, was yet inexplicable, as a force from Quatre Bras could easily move on its rear. Napoleon, says General Gourgaud, had sent orders after orders to Marshal Nvy, to attack with the greatest impetuosity every thing before him. At mid-day he testified to hint his ' displeasure at his not having yet taken arms, and being iu his bivouacs: he reiterated the order to attack furiousi7 the position of Quatre Bras, where, according to the accounts he had receiv ed from Brussels, he would only find some Belgic fortes, the English army not being assembled, and being still uninformed at eleven o'clock on the evening of the 15th of all that passed.— His Majesty prescribed to him again, that as soon as he should have taken position before Quatre Bras, he should follow the orders he had already received, of dispatching a detachment by the road of Namur, to fall on the rear of the Prussian army, of which he was made acquainted with the position. This move ment must have caused the total ruin of the army of the enemy. 'the Emperor was so persuaded of this, that he concluded his instructions to Colonel Forbin Janson, whom he sent to Ney, with these words—" Tell bias that the fate of France is in his hands." It was the disobedience of Ney, we are informed, that alone prevented the total destruction of the Prussian army at Ligny. At the moment a decisive attack was about to be made, a force was recognised moving apparently in the direction of Fleurus.- " The Emperor halted his guard, and ordered diffe rent dispositions to receive this column. This move ment appeared inexplicable." It was not till half-past six, that it was ascertained to be the First Corps, commanded by Gen. Erlong (part of Ney's army). When the error was discovered, it required half an boar to recal the reserves, acd till sever o'clock, Napoleon could not march on Ligni. The attack took place as projected, but this unfortunate mistake had retarded it two hours. I.igni was carried, the enemy every where but, having his centre driven apd his right ter•.:cd beyond St. Amand by the Divlsion of Girard, precipitately abandoned the field of battle, and retreated in several directions. The &Aces; of the right did not permit us to obtain all the results which might have been hoped for from this victory Thus the Prussian army of 90,000 moo (lhilow had not joined it) was beat in four hours by 60,009 .French._ The French loss is stated at between 7 and 8000 men, and that of the Prussians at 25,000. Marshal Ney, who ought to have occupied Quatre Bras on the evening of the 15th, or at least by break of day on the 16th, had made no movement at two o'clock in the afternoon of the 16th. It is not known by what fatality he did not advance with all the troops under his orders, and left behind the whole of 'the light cavalry of the Guard, and the whole of the First Corps (d'Erlong). The important position otc Que.-a Bras was occupied a great part of the 16t1:- by only 9000 n'en. Ile advanced with three sions of the corps of Beille, leaving behind bim 2000 picked cavalry and 18,000 infantry.

However, Itlarsh.d Ney, by his intre pidity, and by the ardour of the French troops, gained always ground, and repulsed an enemy superior in force. The Duke of Brunswick had been killed ; charges of Cuirassiers bad broken the square of the 42d regiment (Scotch), seized its colours, kil led its Colonel ; victory was about to declare for the French when the divisiocs of Cock and Alten re-established the affairs of the enemy. We come now to the ever-memorable battle of ' Waterloo. The force of the French on that day is stated at 66,000 men, and '240 guns. • The force of the Anglo-Dutch army, it is said, was from 93,000 to 90,000 fighting men, and 450 guns. The Frehch army having only Irons 67,000 to 68,000 men, was much irie rior, hut it was superior in the nature of the troops. The Bel gian and German soldier, were not equal to the French soldiers, amongst whom were the Imperial Guards, and the four divi sions of Cuiraniers. The French artillery, on account of the reserve batteries of the guard, was as numerous as the enemy's artillery. The victory did not appear doubtful, and with thii victory, we might hope for the destruction of the English army, from the position which it had taken. At break of day the Emperor, when breakfasting, said, " Out of a hundred chances we have eighty for us !" ' General Gourgaud, after describing the positions of the two armies on the morning of the 18th, in forms us that the project of the Emperor was to pierce the centre of the British army, to drive it along the road, and arriving at the entrance of the forest, to cut off the retreat of the right and left of the line.— The complete success of this attack must have ren dered all retreat impossible, bring along with it the destruction of the British army, and at all events se parate it front the Prussian.

The following is his account of the state of things on the an ival of the Prussians : Te field of battle was covered with the English Guards, the flower of the enemy's army. It was half-past four o'clock : the most terrible fire raged on all sides. At that instant General Doniont sent to inform his Majesty that the corps of Below, which he observed, was putting itself in movement, and that a division of from 8,000 to 10,000 Prussians were debauching from the woods of Frichenois ; that they had no news of 3lar. sisal Grouchy ; that the recannoiseancel which he had sent in the directions by which he was to come, had not met one of his couriers. The corps of Cour.t Lobau • moved in three columns on the positions which he had recognized. By this movement this corps had its front changed, and was placed en potence on the extremity of our tight. The first Prussian brigade, warmly received, was immediately put to route ; it was immediately supportell by the second brigade, and half an hour after the whole of the rest of the Corps of Bulow arrived, and:forreed, debording always the right of the Count de Lobau Aso that Bulow, though be did not gain ground on the latter, still pro longed his Are on our rear. The Sixth Corps was ranged in l battle parallel to ch.: causeway, at the distance of a musket shot from Belle Alliance. The Prussian balls reached that cause way, which served for all the movements of the annyomd even i lbeyond into the group of the Emperor.—(To be continued.) • At half-past four the.corps of Lobau, 7,000 strong, advan , ccd against the Prussians, which reduces to eO,OOO men the troops opposed to the Eng lish.
