The greatest t:4uquillity exists in the Auvergne; the whits cockade Is worn throughout, and the soldiers in withdrawiiig nude no disturbances. Colonel Labednyere is detained at the Conciergerie. He was taken there during the night of Wednesday or Thursday, and has since been kept in the most ri gorous secrecy. The two brothers Faucher, Mare amp de Camp, have been arrested near BonrdeAux. A great quantity of ammunition and arms was found je their possession.

NRIISSEM•ItiotisT $. • PRIVATE LETTER. Whoever shall under tAke to be the hiitorian of the military operationi and events Of Belgium, Which took place last June, will find himself inadequate to the task. No language; however expressive, no pen however eloquent, can do them justice. Many of the circumstances, attending and consequent to the battle, will be for ever unknown; others, though they have been but imperfectly collected, yet render the narrative of the proceedin g s more complete. Every account, I believe, agree's in the fact, that the strength of Banaparte's army tar exceeded the united force of the Allies, bearing a proportion of fifteen to eight. lam informed by one who fought under the banners of the Ex-Emperor, that in this battle Na poleon strongly enjoined the use of the bayonet to his men ; a weapon which had been found so decisive is the hands IN the English soldier. " I do not thiak it possible to ascertain what num ber of human lives were lost in the different battles. The killed and wounded on both sides I have beard calculated at one third of the ()rigida! strength. If this be true, it will make the loss in killed and wounded amount to between 70 and 80,000 men ; a carnage which, perhaps, is unparalleled in history, as the re selt of only three days proceedings; but which, nevertheless, may be reckoned near the truth. I have seen several accounts of the battle. The most ample account is that of Prince Blucher: the Duke of Wel lington's is modest, but too brief and-unexplanatory. Nothing can convey an idea of the scene of action for several days' after the battle of the 18th. Tens of thousands of the dead bodies of men and horses : tens of thousands of wounded lay mingled on the plain. Notwithstanding the humane assistance ren dered to them by all the neighbouring towns and villages, those who had desperate wounds o- shattered limbs, and were unable to crawl for shelter and as. sistance into the nearest places, lay exposed to all the hardships of a scorching sun, or rain, by day, and to the chilling dew of night; many of them without food or drink for several days. It is inconceivable that under such accumulated suffering, human life could be sustained so long. Yet I have seen different persons, that were on the spot at various times on the days succeeding the actions, who all agree that they saw the ground strewed for-leagues around with the killed and wounded ; some of those who had got strength left to raise their feeble voice, either implor ing the friendly hand of the passenger to put a period so their protracted misery, after several days torment ; air praying for a drop of water or a morsel of food. One gentleman assured me that it was his lot to pass the field of battle six days after the action, and that he then saw many of the wounded, of different na tions, incredible to tell, yet alive ueon th e spot, who were so famished that than-had been allaying the. cravings of hunger by eating weeds, grass, leather, and whatever el.e was within their reach ; some of them even the flesh off-the bodies of their slain com rades. Let those who should think this account im probable,. recollect the many thousands that could not quit the field from their wounds ; the distance. the scene of action; the puisnit of the discomfited, enemy cutting off the assistance of their companions; and the impossibility of procuring and affording so many thousand men assistance, and means of con veyance from the field. As soon as carriages could be s sirocered all the towns in the neighbourhood were filled with them, even to a distance of fifty miles. Nothing can exceed the kindness they met with from the inhabitants. At Antwerp and Brussels ladies of the highest rank vied with each other in acts and offices of attention to the wounthd. At the gates of the latter place the women posted themselves, and as they arrived, dragged to their houses the wounded Highlanders and others whom they had had billeted upon them a day or two before—the Scotchmen (roar algae') in particular, whose valour and wounds they make a constant subject of praise; calling them the finest and best behaved troops in the world. Such a mortal enmity mutually subsistetl between the Prus. sians and French, that it continued to thew itself by reciprocal acts of cruelty and murder to the wounded lying on the field. It is affirroed by the French pri. soners whom I have conversed with, that whilst the English soldiers were giving•water and beer to the -French soldiers lying. on the ground, the Prussians were seen barbarously and wantonly dispatching them. The Prussians, with apparent truth, recriminate in an equal degree on the French. I have not a doubt that the -Very dread of the infuriated Prussi4ns kept away many humane persons from assisting the woun ded in . general. . The very name of a Prussian is hated in this country.

No direct accounts have yet been received from either the NORTRUMSERLAND Or the BELLBROPHON, and of course nothing is yet known respecting the transfer of Boxitearrz from the latter to the former; but there can be no doubt that there were two of the ships seen in the offing from Torbay on Sunday, al luded to in the subjoined letter. It would be absurd to offer any conjecture respecting the behaviour of BONAPARTE on this occasion. We have been told that he was to kill himself or drown himself, &c. Had such an event occurred, we may conclude that the vessels would have put back ; but on the con trary, they went out to sea with a fine breeze from the W.N.W. " TORBAY, JULY 6. " Three sail of the line and a sloop of war came to anchor t!iis afternoon near this Bay ; but at such a distance from the shore as to prevent any one dis tinctly seeing what they were about. One of the ships bore the Rig 4 an Admiral, and is no doul t the 111LIXIBIKL1ND I there is also little doubt but she has been' receiving on board NAPOLEON BONAPARTE" as boats have been passing constantly fiom one ship to the other. They are now all under weigh, with a fine breeze at W N.W. and will soon be out of sight. There has been no communication whatever between them and the shore.* A Gentleman who spent the whole of the last seek at Plymouth, and saw BOICAPARTI regularly every day, assures us that most of the accounts pub fished in the papers were very incorrect, and that instead of appearing deeply affected at the idea of being removed to St. Helena, or threatening to kiil himeelf, the obdurate miscreant displayed consider: able cheertulitess. At the very time when it was en. portt d Madame BSIITKAND in a fit of despair had at copied to throwhervelf into.the sea, he saw that Lady and her husband gaily conversing with the Corsican, oho frequently laughed. He was present at the time the BaLLaaortamt sailed on Friday last. Whilst they were weighing anchor, B3NAPARTit stood on the de~icreading a izewspaper ; he afterwards went down to the :tan-gallery, where Madame BIatTRAND and the Commutes. MONTUOLOW had placed themselves. He was omen smiling, and apparently in good spirits.— He warstmll , there with the same company,. which was joined by the rest of his Officers, when the ship sailed, and remained till distance concealed him from the public view. Front the whole previous history of the man, the partict.'-ars which we have just stated, appear much more credible than the stories that have been so in dustriously circulated of his boisterous lamentations; threats of assassination. Bc. ke. No, no f BONAPARTY is none of your self-killing gentlemen : he clings to life as the chief blessing upon earth ; and, in this respect at least, he is a sound philosopher. " While there is life there is hope ;" and therefore he bas always fled from the face of death when he could not command victory. Nor has his hope been entirely frustrated : circumstances have again and again put him at the head of new armies, and enabled him to try his fortune—and he is too much of a fatalist . not to believe it possible that circumstances may yet occur to bring him again upon the stage. In this we may be allowed to hope he will be disarpointecl, but it must not be concealed that the possibility of his ever reaching Trance. after he quitted Moscow, was every whit as problematical as the possibility of his being able to escape from St. Helena, again to in volve the world is all the horrors of war and anarchy.
