WL: understand that a Monitcur of the 21st is in town, inrl contains a detailed account of the battle of the 18th, 14hick it has the modesty not to call a victory. Buona parte is stated to admit a loss of 30,000 men, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, with a number of cannon, which, however; he asserts, he had previously taken from the *Allies. Ile affirms that their loss since the beginning of hostilities on the 13th amounts to 60,U00 men, and that had it not been for the arrival of the Prussians at the moment he was piercing our centre, our army would have peen destroyed. 'He then judged that the moment of success %vas passed,' and that it would be more prudent To fall back upon the Duke of Treviso who commanded two corps d'arm6o, consisting of 60,000 fresh troops, with which he w ould renew the attack next day. This Bulletin is said to be dated tim' JOth, in the morning from village three leagues from Grenappe. Whether this be a 3orrect representation of the state ment in the Mo4itcur, we have had as yet no means of judging, as it is one of the evils of war that French Papers fall into the hands of persons who dual out their contents Pnly as it may suit their feelings or the;r interests. It however, too probable, not to afford reasonable matter for discussion. .The French Bulletin, dated the 15th, from Charleroi, positively stated that Mustier (the Duke of Tre viso) had been left at Beaumont, not to command an army of reserve, but on account of the rheumatism, which forced him :o keen It therefore appear:; hp , REM ER. 411 should suddenly be represented as at the head of 60,000 troops. It must be observed, howexer, that the same French accounts only mention four corps d'armee, with the Guards, as having followed Buonaparte in his march towards Brussels. Lord Wellington also states, that the enemy had collected five corps between the Sombre anti the Meuse, that is to say in France, but without explaining whether they all passed the frontiers. If there be any truth in the report that Marshal Wrede, with the Bava rians, is advancing by the side of Nlezieres, it would show the necessity of Buonaparte's leaving a strong reserve to oppose him, whilst he was endeavouring to overthrow the British and Prussian armies. In that, case, however, it is evident, that in his present circumstances he could not use that reserve for the purpose of resuming the offensive, but merely to assist and cover his retreat. Indeed the fact of his liming re-entered France, suffiLiently show s the in sanity of this boast. FRESH DISPATCHES FROM THE DUKE OF WEt. LINGTON. The pursuit of the enemy continues ; bu t his retreat seems to have been effected with so much precipitation, as to ha-.,t prevented his masses from being overtaken and attacked. A. Dispatch from the Duke of Wellington, said to have berit brought by one of Prince Blucher's Aid-de-Camps, dated the 20th states, that on that day the head-quarters of our army were at Bindle, within ten miles, and those of the Prussians at Beaumont, within five miles of the Trench frontier. This was the first place occupied by Burma parte in his advance. Five thousand prisoners had al ready reached Brussels, and ‘2,00t) more were expected. His Lordship had not,yet been able to collect the returis of our loss. Ile had paid a visit to the Priuce of Orange, at Brussels, on the I (.;th. His Grace intimates that the armies were expected to aLle, to advance in a day or two. It is said that, on the 18th at- night, the Prussian troops were in possession of one side of Genappe, and the French of the other. And we have heard of a letter, stating that, tin the 19th, the possession of Charlerov was disputed between the French and Prussians warmly—it being several times taken and retaken. This we only mention on report, as we Faye not seen the letter.— ( Morning Chronicir.) The Aid-du-Camp of the late Sir William Ponsonbv ar rived in town last Thursday night. The body of thr.! gallant Genet al was found lying 60 or 70 yards in advance of his b:i gade, and he had no fewer than seven lance wounds 'throu g h the body. The Duke of Wellington's two Aids-du C'r.mp were killed at his side. Of the ("4.1. British Generals, I I were cutter killed or wounded. Every Commander exrosed himselr through out the whole conflict, and never was Ening more direct or deadly. The French cuirassiers in particular committed dreadful havoc by their first attack; but, %rift') they (awe to close quarters, the sabre was found to be inure effectual than the long spear. • Nothing, we are told, was ever seen moire brilliant or more murderous than the charge of the Life Guards lupe' ial Guards of France. For a time the [nip qial Guard stood the shock, and they fought man to man ; till at length the French turned their 1 n heads and gallopped off, pursued by the English, when the slaughter became dteadful. After the battle Marshal li:richer called °it to his soldiers., "Children, we must r ui , ‘,..thrtn else they te:.;:.irt: tt: to Ui'' 1 . 0 4." 411ormor , Trailliberripkordoil."'` • 4,
