" Jerome having thought proper to take aside and It is said that his Majesty has given to the Colo- whieper,with one of his brother's Aides-de-camp, to nels of the Regiments of the Royal Guards, the right whom he spoke his mind very freely, Bonaparte sent of proposing, subject to their ow n res p ons ibili t y, t h e him (Jerome) several times into the middle of the Officers of the corpsof all arms who shall compose fire, as if to get rid of such an importunate critic.— the Royal Guards.

Three columns of the Russian army will pass through the department of the Meuse between the 15th and 20th September, to proceed beyond the Rhine. The Ist column, abut 60,000 strong, and 15,000 horses, wal enter that department about the 14th or 16th. The 2d and 3d, about 100,000 men and 30,000 horses, will go by Bar le Duc, Freine au-mont, and Bentonville. The first will arrive in Brabant on the 15th or 16th. The administrative Authority is busily occupied with the arrangements necessary for the subsistence of these troops. The following details will give a correct idea of the dangers which Bonaparte personally underwent on'the memorable day of Waterloo. These details were furnished us by an eye witness of the whole, and may be relied on : •6 From two o'clock until a quarter before seven, Bonaparte commanded all the operations and move menu from a position where he remained without any danger whatever to his own person : he was at least ' 3 cannon shot and a half off : nothing in short could reach him. " When be was at length convinced that the corps d'armde, which he had so long and so obstinately taken for that oi Marshal GROUCHY, was in reality a Prussian tarps, be seemed to think that the iff.airs were desperate, and that he had no other resource than to make a great effort with the reserve of his guard, composed of 15,000 men. This part he ac cordingly took. is At this moment he assumed an appearance of re solution, which re-animated a little those who sure rounded him. Guards, to animate them. Before I conclude, there ' is a peculiarity which deserves to be noticed, namely,. that before effecting his personal retreat, in order tt. get rid of impertinent witnesses, he directed all those around him to carry different orders at once,. and to .bring information, the result of which could not con cern him in the least." • It is no longer doubtful that the Treaty of general Peace is finally settled, the chilief point of which is the integrity of France. The Prime Minister of Louis XVIII. has obtained for his Msjesty, all that could be obtained in the pre,ent circumstances : his Highness and the Duke of Wellington agree in their political views, and upon the ground of their wisdom the mutual prosperity of the two countries will be firmly established. The political views of the Court of Madrid re specting France are a kind of riddle, which we con fess ourselves unable to explain. 'Of this, however, we are well assured, that if Ferdinand VII. is serious in his hostile attempts against the French territory, he will be completely disappointed—and we are sorry to add that he will not be more successful in Ame. rica, the insurgents being too numerous, and under no apprehension of the forces that the Court of Ma drid can send against them. It is said that the famous Miranda is one of the chief of the rebels. There are people inclined to believe that Marshal Hey will obtain his Majesty's gracious pardon.—His ease is widely different- ft= that of the unfortanatc LAtiofire. The latter" deserved his puniiitment, for having transgressed the military laws by his in.. subordination ; had he been pardoned, it would have set a dangerous example to the army. The advocate of the Marshal thews in his defence, that by joining Bonaparte, he prevented a civil war. To this, we might answer, that no crime can be ex " He advanced, saying—' Let every one follow me,' (Tout le :modem arriere 1) which evidently signi. - nified that he wished to be in front. In fact he made this movement at first, and headed, for about ten mi. nutes, the iorniidable column which remained to him mod on the ground that it may produce good effects; yet as the idea gives birth to a doubtful discussion, it may lead a benevolent merciful Monarch like Louis XVIII. to forgive an enemy—especially as his Ma jesty has already done it many times. as his forlorn hope ; but when he arrived within 200 toises (1200 feet) from three solid squares of allied troops which occupied a ridge, with a formidable ar tillery (and which ridge it WAS necessary to carry), he s uddenly stopped under the broken ground of a sand pit, or ravine, and a little on one side, out of the di. rection of the cannon balls. The politicians pretend that the Duke of Bourbon is gone to England to settle some points of discussion which form an obstacle to the conclusion of the Treaty of NMI. That the urgencies of Government may have occasioned his Highness's journey, we think very probable; bat as to the Treaty of Peace, tiser e is no reason to believe that any material obstacle pre 4• This fine and terrible column which he had some time headed, found him here, as it passed and de filed before him in order co aavance„ taking a demi tour to the bottom of the hillock, and directly in front of the enemies' squares, which Bonaparte himself' could not see from the lateral point which he occu• vents Its conclusion. Two men and a woman have been assassinated near Amiens ; every exertion is making to discover, the °Soden. A corps of Prussian infantry of near 10,000 men are on their route to La Fere. pied, although it is very true that be was close enough to the enemies' batteries. As the corps passed him, he smiled and addressed to them expressions of con fidence and encouragement. The march * of these old warriors was very firm, and there was something solemn in it. Their appearance was very fierce. A kind of savage silence reigned among them. There was in their looks a mixture of surprise and discon tent, occasioded by their unexpected meeting with Bonaparte, who, as they thought, was at their head. " In proportion as they ranged up the eminence, and darted forward on the squares which occupied its summit, the artillery vomited death upon them, and killed them in masses. This part of the scene came directly under Bonapartes eyes, without his being able to see what passed on the height itself, as he still kept himself, as it were, enveloped in the corner of the Ravine. It was then precisely a quarter of an hour Cron) seven o'clock, and it was at' this very Mo ment that the decisive critic of the battle commenced. " Bonaparte had then six persons close to him t—s these were, his brother Jerome, Generals Bertrand, Drouet, Bernard, Doubers, and Labedoycre. At every step which he took, or seemed to take, to put his awn person in front, Generals Bertrand and Dronet threw themselves before his horse's headl and exclaimed in a pathetic accent—' Ah 1 Sire, what are you going fo do i Consider that the safety of A new war contribution of two millions have been imposed upon Lyons by the Governor of that place.

On returning his Majesty and the three Princes appeared at the Balcony of the Glazed Gallery, amidst the most animated acclatna.' mations. In the evening there were dances under the King's windows. The Austrian troops are about to enter the De partment of the fierault. Three columns of the Russian army (160,000 men and 45,000 horses) will pass through the Depart. ment of the Meuse between the 15th and the 40th of this month. These columns will pass the Rhine, one at Man. heins, the other near Darmstadt, and the third at Mayne..

It is time that the Allied Armies had possession of the most important fortresses, that the hatred of the French towards them may not at least overcome their fears—a situation in which no nation should be placed, particularly this, whose character bears no half measrates.
