No Bulletin was issued by Government yester day, por were any Dispatches received from Lord WELLINGTON in the afternoon, so as to be corn municatrd through any public channel. This statement is in justice due to ourselves, when an insidious attempt is made to invalidate our claim upon the confidence of our Country, by setting up pretended Official Documents which are not recognized by Authority. We assert thus openly what would at once, if unfounded, be contra dicted, that no Joutnal in London takes precedence of THE SUN in the priority or extent of Official Communications. The Public ought to be on their guard against such paltry artifices as those we hive alluded to. The important news gathered but imperfectly from the numerous private letters which reached Town in the course of yesterday, this day assumes, from further and more authentic information, that shape and consistency which enables us to trace with distinctness, the operations and actions at tendant upon the opening of the Campaign. On the afternoon of the 15th, Wednesday list, the Enemy advanced in considerable force along the line of the Sambre, in the direction of Charle, roi, and throve in the Prussian Out-posts. These retired, leaving Charleroi, Marchiennes-au-Pont, and Gosselies in the possession of the assailants. Gossclies is about five miles in front of Charleroi, and appears to be the extreme point to which the french penetrated. Intelligence of these events having been dis patched to the Duke of XVELLIsto - rox at Brussels, his Grace, as we stated yesterday, instantly put his whole force in motion, and at" day-break on the 16th set out to put himself at its head. He moved towards his left, and slept at Genappe, a few miles from Nicelles, after having fought a sharp bat undecisive action, in which the ad vantage appears to have been on our side, since the result was, that it compelled the French to relinquish all the posts they had occupied on the precet:ing day. This affair lasted from two o'clock in the afternoo;), till half-past eight o'clock, when the approach of night put an end to the combat. We have as yet no Official Accounts of this action ; but from our Private Letters it seems to have been obstinate and sanguinary. We are par- . ticularly a••%ious to be guarded in the circulation of reports which may give pain to individuals ; but it is the paramount duty of a PublieJournal to afford all the information in its power; and it is'ouly in the discharge of this duty that we relate the facts which have reacUed us, through the channels that seem the best entitled to credit. " The French, it is said, 4tteropted to separate the British and Belgians from the Prussians, and succeeded in part, in consequence of the Belgians giving way; but General PICTON coming up with his division, turned the fortune of the day, drove back the Enemy with great loss, and, by an ad vance, succeeded in occußying Charleroi. " The Duke of BRuNswNic is, we lament to ••• . . say, reported to be killed, and General PACK to be among the wounded." The loss in British 4illed, is mentioned at 700, and it is with concern we add, on the authority of another statement, that the brave 4 . 2 d regi 7 uient suffered principally on this occasion. Geuer.:i Ptcruses which seerna to have sijstaiued the brunt of the Action, consists of the 8:h and - 4th British Brigades, composed of the following Regiments : First battalion* of the 28th. 92d, 79th, 95th, rofir,42d, second battalions of the 44th and 92d ; and three hattidigns of ti Ist ; also the bth Panoyerian Brigade. On Saturday at five o'clock in the morning, our Illustrious Commander prepared to renew the at tack, and at the hour we are now writing, the result of this anxious and dreadful day is unknown to us. As evcry hour, however, may bring in tclligcnce we trust we shall yet be able to re licte the rubric mind on this inortant subje c t . ; ancl to announce a victory as glorious as the heart qi a Briton could wish. The news which has just arrived puts the con teits of the French Papers to the lith put of our atzunlents than speeches and addresses. The Supplementary sheet of the Moniteur of the 15th June, contains, under the bead of the Minis try of War, a Dispatch from General L&MARQUE, dated Nova, 10th June, inclosing copies of seve ral letters Found upon the Marquis LAROcH2 JA QUELIN, killed in the battle at Narais, on the 4th June. These Letters, if they be genuine, contain no thing of importance. They are private communi cations front different Officers of the Royalists concerning the movement and. dispositions of the different corps which they brought into the field. The Sister of the Marquis (Mademoiselle Louise Laroche Jacquelin) is frequently mentioned as making noble eNertions in the cause of patriotism and loyalty ; and there are some letters purporting to be written to her, containing in. formation for the benefit of their enterprize, which she seems to have transmitted to her Brother im mediately, in the shape in which she received it. At the least, the numbers of the Royalists in these letters have been altered. The French Papers themselves mentioned corps of insurgents several thousand strong. The highest number mentioned in these letters is 300, while the na tional guards when mention:A are stated in them at never less than 1000 or 1700. We have received Gerann Papers to the 13th instant. The Convention of the 27:)th of May, between the Canton* of Switzerland, Austria, it , lssa, Prussia, and England, sti pulates that Switzerlam; shall adhere to the system adopted by these Powers against. France ; that for this purpose she shall licep on foo a stiliicient force to protect her frontier, but that the Allies shall not march any troops through her Territory without the previous consent of the Diet. This Convention was ratified by the Canton of Zurich on the Ist , of this month', by t majority of 10 4 3 voices against 52. Berne has also adopted it, as a sucasure adapted to the times, and conformable to the sentiments which animate the Swiss. The Grand Council of Basle rejected it on the 29th of May, by 4 inalority of 55 to The Aran Gazette of the 7th of June states, that Schaff hausen, Urie, Fribourg, Glaris, Lucerne, and Argoria, have also ratified the Convention. MILAN, JUNE 4.—lier Royal 1-Ii; the Princess of Wales set off ou the 31st of May for Venice. The flight of Madame Murat to get on board the Engliih vessel, in order to escape the fury of the Neapolitan populace, was so prccipi tat4 that her diamonds wale left in the.palace In consequence of the News from the Continent, the Funds morning experienced a considerable advance : Omnium, which yesterday left off at 3 per Cent.. prem. Sellers, may be quoted at one o'clock to day, at 4 per Cent. prem. Buyers. We noticed yesterday, that one - of BUONA PARTZIS Military Chests had been intercepted-- The fact rests no the authority of some French Officers who arrived on Sunday from Ostend, on their way to La Vendee, and who state, that' a party of the Royalist army advanced as tar as Chartres, carried off the Military Chest; and re tired unmolested. A telegraphic message reached Boulogne, an nouncing a pretended victory of SUCLiiT . -S in the vicinity of Chaniberry, where, :accord , ing to the usual style of the French Bul letins, be had annihilated four Regiments, and pursued them to Mort Melian, ou the Isere. Of tbis last success, even if true, we make like ac count. SupticT is neither strong enough in rpimbera, nor in tile composition of his army, to adyance far ; hut must. evidently lie met and over whelmed by the superior numbers of the Austrians. OSTEND, Juts; 17.—Testerday the drum wen( through this town inviting the people to volun teer in defence of their country. We are informed that Parliament will certainly rise about the end of the first week of July. We have great pleasure in saying, that the LORD tHANCELLiciII continues to recover so rapid ly, as to afford the fairest proipect of his being able to resume his important duties almost home- diately. Sunday night the PRINCE REGENT returned to town from Windsor, accompanied by the Duke of CUMBERLAND. • Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT took an airing to Hampton Court. Yesterday the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES took an airing in an open carriage to Norwood, Dulwich, &C. attended by the Countess of hcitEs- TElt, M2l. CAMPBELL, and Colonel AmeNzaoxE. Hcr Royal Highness returned to town to dinner. jn the evening the Princess honoured Drury, Lane Theitre with her preseti4!, to see Mr. KEAN the Historicar Play of Richrvd 'he Second, and the new entertainment of Charles the fluid. The American frigate C'on i titution has reachecl a port of the 'United tate9. . . A French chasb6e-marde, having on board 3,000 stand of arms for the use of the ROyaiists in La Yendee, sailed from Plymouth on Saturday, under convoy of brig of war. We qie informed that the Commander of the Forces at Ceylon had found it necessary to rpl►ly to the Governor-General for a reinforcement to the troops under his command, but before his application could have been received, ti was or dered to det:►ch one of the British regiments from that station to Madras. The new levy of veterans. now going forward, is to be formed. into an establiisiument of eight re gular battalions. Brabourne liarracs arc fitting for the reception of troops.

The result answers our hopes. Since writing the remarks with which uur Puper commences, we have received the following from authority, which is worthy of perfect confidence : The Battle of the lith has been " fought and won."—AVELLING - roN and BLUCHER against I3uo- N APARTS and !ILJRar• ---wbo could doubt the issue of the contest ? We have elsewhere ex- plained the previous movements of the British Commander—he was joined at Gcnappe by the gallant BLUCHER. ($ On the morning of the lith, BUONAPARTE was advancing with his whole force, evidently with a view of throwing himself between the English and the Prussians, when be was imme diately attacked - by the English, the Bruns wieliers, and the Belgians : the Battle lasted nearly the whole of the day, with great slaughter, the Allies having lost about 3000 men, and the French upwards of 5000, and from 1500 to 2000 taken prisoners, among whom is BERTRAND, the favourite of BUONATARTE. " The 42d is said to have particularly distill- guisbed itsclf, and some of the accounts from Os- tend state, that Gen. PACK was severely wounded. " The Allies were concentrating their forces, and following up this first successful blow: they had most completely driven, the Enemy over the frontier. " BUONAPARTII in his retreat set fire to Char- leroi, and burnt it to ashes ;" an example which, we hope, will not he forgotten by the Allies in their progress towards Paris. " The Postilion of Cahors, was observed to be remarkably active during the battle—bnt it is useless—he has last the stirrup which he will never regain. " Private letters particularize individuals killed and wounded; but as Government have not received any official accounts, we abstain from mentioning those we have heard, lest we should give unnecessary pain to the relatives of our brave Officers serving on the Continent." The gallant Duke of BRUNSWKIE, we are afraid, has fallen—too many accounts concur in stating that his Royal Highness fell at the bead of his brave Army. Lord JAMES HAT is among the slain. THE PURSUIT. On the 18th, Sunday last, the Battle was not renewed ; BUONAPARTE continued his Retreat and the Allies were closing up and pursuing him— There are no details of this date; but a can- nonading heard. at a distance in the line of the Enemy's retreat, affords evidence of the fact.— Now will the Cavalry Arm, in which the Allies arc so strong and the 'Priemy so weak, be of pro- digious efficacy; and, not to mention the moral effect of a Victory in the beginning of this mighty conflict, not to mention that the force defeated is the main Army of the Foe, and com manded by the Rebel Leader in person. The actual loss sustained in this glorious encosiater is of serious magnitude to a man who has *train- ed all l►is energies for a first blow, and cannot supply the deficiencies which th, Sword has made.
