In the action of the 18th, Ensign Graham, of the 73d regiment, being stunned and knocked down in the field, was tal:en prisoner, and inunediately conducted to nuonnparte, who, among other questions. tauntingly asked him, if he thought he could overtake the British aimy before they embarked for England ? Ile then ordered Graham to he sent to the tear of the French troops, where he was su ipt, left almost naked, and compelled to carry some pioneers' took. Ile contrived, however, in the course of the night to make his cs?ape to the Prussia' army, and he is now at Brussels.
