JULY 2. them only 27 pieces of their numerous artillery. The enemy in his flight has passed all his fortresses, the or.ly defence of his fron tiers, which are now passed by our armies.—At three o'clock, Napoleon had dispatched from the field of battle, a courier to P ar is, with the news that_ victory was no longer doubtful : a few hours after, he had no longer any army left. We have not yet any exact account of the enemy's loss ; it is enough to know that treo•thirds of the whole army are killed, wounded, or prisoners. atrm7, the latter are Generals Mnntpss, Duhesme, and Cotnpaus; Up to this time about :WO cannon, and IOJO cassions, are in our hands. Few victories have been so complete, and there is cer• tainly no example that an atmy two days after losing a battle, e►gaged in such an action, and so gloriously maintained it. Bo mar be to troops capable of so much firmness and valour ! In the middle of the position occupied by the French airily, and exactly upon the height, is a farm called La Relle Alliance. The march of all the Nossian colamns was directed towards tin,: farm, which was vi,ible from every side. It was there that Napoleon was tinting the battle ; it was thence he gave his orders, that • he flattered him- Fulf with 11;e hopes of victory, and it was there that his ruin was decided. There, too, it was, that by a happy chance Field Marshal Blucher and Lord Wellington met in the dark, and inutually.sa toted each other as victors. In commemoration of the alliance . which now subsists between the English and Prussian nation., of the union of the two armies, anti their reciprocal confidence, the Field Marshal desired, that this battle should bear the name of La ,Belle Alliance.
