It hod rained all eight, and coati aued even till day-bleak. The reports of the night, and the obeervatiou of Ares, had fully confirmed the presence of the entire Anglo-Dutch army. Its force was from 8. to 90,000 men, and SW pieces of cannon. The French army not being more than '6, or 68,000 men, was very inferior in point of numbers, bet very superior in the civility a( the troop.. The Belgian and German soldiers were not equal to the French soldiers, among? whom were the Imperial Guards. sod the for diatoms* of Cuirassiers. The French soldiery, on accouat of the reserve batteries of the guard, was as numerous as the enemy's artillery. The victory did not pear doubtful, and with this victory, we might hope for the destruction of the English army, from the position which it hod takers. At break of day the Emperor, when brealassting, mid, 4 Out of a hots dred eliaircee we have eighty for us.' At this mo ment Marshal Ney arrived, who came from visitisig the line, and answered, Sing V irti - Mottos *ere to slope so to reamer there; Bat Emou come to sanoonee that the retreat is ordered. and that f you do so haste to (stark thee. they still escape us.'—The Emperor did not attach much iinportance to this report ; it seemed evident to him that More the Duke of Welliiigtoo had not retired re der, he had determined to rtn the herald or _ --..... •" At eight o'clock the weather clotted up r the Emperor 'reconnoitred the enemy's line, and con sidered the ground fit for maticruvrer. Hr expe dited his orders for battle to the several Command ers of corp., and every thing was in motion. " The 'English army had in its rear the fore lit oY Soignis, and a single road for its communication with Brussels, which would render ha retreat very difficult. It occupied a beautiful platform. Its ►ight, 'supported by a ravine at the other vide of the Motile.' road, extended itself to Britine la.Leod. its 'kilt crowned the heights of La 'hie, and its centre occupying on the left the farm of La Nile Sainte, and on the right that of Hougesscoont was in adoince of the village of Mont. St. Jean, where the two roads of Itivellea and Charleroi Met. It was perceived that the enemy had raised no redoubt, 'or other works, and that few or no natural obstacles were in his front. The platform was somewhat inclined toe concave at its centre, and the ground ternfineled with a gentle declivity in a ravine not deep, which separated the two armies. '" The French army was placed in the following order:—General Reine s with the second corps; his right being on the road from_Charleroi to Brussels, his left on that from Nivelles. having opposite to it the wood of Hougoutuout, and his light cavalry on the other side of the road. General Elias, his left on the Charleroi road, and his right opposite to the left of the English, in front of the villsge of La Flak. . . . . General Kellerman's corps of Cuiras siers in the second line, behind the second corps ; Milhaut's corps behind the first. The sixth corps (Count de Loban) was formed in close column, on the right of the Charleroi road The Imperial Guard, in the third line, formed a general reserve " These dispositions indicated the project of the Emperor, which was to pierce the centre of the Eng lish army, to drive it along the road, ■nd arriving at the entrance of the forest, to cut off ►be retreat of the right and left of the line. The complete success of this attack must have rendered all retreat impossible, briag along with it the destruction of the English army, and at all events aeparate it from the Prussian. " About eleven o'clock General Reille cannon aded the enemy, to drive him from the wood of Hot:gamest. The engagement soon became very brisk epos this point. Prince Jerome with his division took possession of the wood: he was driven from it : a second attack spin made him master of it, but the enemy maintained himself in the castle which was in the middle 4 it. This castle had b een embattled, which pot it beyond the reach of - a eoap-sfe.asain. The Emperor sent orders to Getters' Reille to form a battery of lipseitssers and set fire to the castle. It was °buried with plea sure that the best English troops were collect ed at this point; among other the, division of the Guards (General Cooke). At this moment was seen at a distance a body of from five to viz thousand men of all arms. It was at first believed to be. Marshal Grouchy's corps, bet is a quarter of an hoer some homarabsooght io a Prussian express, bearing a dispatch which apprised us that the troops now appearing were the advanced guard of Bolow's corps. The Major-General (Souls) expedited an officer to Marshal Grouchy to apprise him of this circumstance. The Staff-Officer, who saw the importance of his mission, might join the Hershel in less than two hoary. Great success was anticipated from the arrival of the Marshal in the rear of auk,. " In the mum time, however, it was necessary," otieerves General Gourgaud. " to oppose the march of the Prussians', end for this purpose the Count de Lobau eras dispatched with 7,000 men, whereby the operation opiate the cutle wee interrupted. Orders were. at the ume moment, dispatched to Ney, to commence the attack with the ant corps, and to mein epos La Hai Sainte. " The troops were fell of enthusiasm; the Em peror rode through the line. The acelatestiesis of jOy'were solvent as to impede the mansourres and prevent the commando from being ,h rd. , Ile placed himself upon an eminence near the funs of La Belle Alliance, whence he sow every thing; the enemy's wings as well as the French. From that he was capable of ascertaining all the movements that the enemy might make on seeing his centre threatened; and his Majesty had under his, baud all the reserves which he might dispose of rapidly, put himself at their bead, and counteract the un expected matopurrea of the enemy. It was noon; eighty pieces of cannon commenced their fire. laadient halloo liner the enemy's batteries opposed to them were drown off, and from different points of the line were seen new batteries come out to re inforce them Our infantry advanced—great confusion was then discernible upon the reed to Brussels-wall the car riages and baggage of the right and left, seeing the Ire approach, precipitated themselves oa the rood to gain Brussels. In the mean time, the enemy's line made no grand naanatavre—it remained in its immobility. Several charges were saccewlully made by its cavalry, on the flank of one of the columns of the first corps, and a fifth of our guns which pdvsured, were overthrown in a deep road : a brigade of Mahout's cuirassiers advanced against this cavalry, and quickly covered the field of battle with its 'death. The emperor seeing that the enemy mink no greutmovernent on Isis right, %hole ours wk. in some disorder, gallopped to it. tie quickly restored order: the cannonade continued with fury, mud a new attack on La li.sie Sainte mode us masters of that ittrpottoist (roost." The action was tints maintained until half-part fuer o'clock, when Na p oleon was apprisid that frOm eight to 10,000 Prussians were adver.eing from the wood of Frischeitni., and that there was too intelligence horn Marshal 'Grouchy. " The Emperor having seen that Billow'. attack had eornmence4 sent cyders to Marshal Ney to main. tain himself in La Hair Sainte, • hut to make no movement until lie saw the issue of the maticauvre of the Pressisors. In half an hoer after wards, about four o'clock, when there last were attacking us with most energy, the Euglish endeat. routed to retake La flair Sainte : they were vigo rously repulsed by the hoe of our iiifetitiry and a charge of revelry; but Ney, hustled on by tun much ardour, leapt the outer he Wad received, advanced upon the plain All the effi. cer. surrounding the Emperor seeing this move ment, the success ofthe chaeges, the retreat of seve ral English squares, the ees;attaii of their tire, &c. sung out victory—but the Emperor said to Mar shal Till, is a premature ntovenient, unl may be attended with had consequences.'

Nor was this the only reinforcement. Two brigades of English cavalry of six regiments, which had been placed in reserve on this mad, were rendered dos potable by the arrival of the Prussia,' troop., and re.outered the lime. This intelligence restored the moral of the Anglo-Dutch army; it resumed its courage, and held its position. " Under these critical eircumstwarea three bat. triages of idolatry of the second line of our• right retreated in good order to the Imperial Guard, which the Emperor had reunited. This inurement, of which the motive cannot he explained, di►orga nired our line. The soldiers said tiny had not lire's drive% but acted under orders.

Fearing that they should lie cut off several regiments made a retrograde more meat." General Griorgiud, hoWevet, states, that by the Emperor's personal exertions the Guards were formed in columns, and again lett to the attack. To encourage Ney'a division, which was wavering, Lathedoyere wes sent by Napoleon to inform them that Giouchy's cowl had arrived. Victory seemed still to cling toils standard, *lieu about half-past seven or eight o'clock, Blucher, with naives whole corps. took possenioa of the village of Ls Hair.

The Emperor ordered his four squadrons of service to charge thew, bu t the four aquadrons were overthrown, and the ton fusion was inefeased: fir the 'meantime the whole English army advanced, the French cavalry and rt.- fautry fought against each other without knosing it.
