[The writer then describes the calling out of our brave troopS.) " It was about three o'clock in the Morning when they commenced their march, in number about 30,000 men. The foreniost, ►lnd not least ani mated, were the brave Highlanders ; they came in contact with the enemy at the end of a march of about 15 miles. The battle in which the Allies were engaged had already begun, and the roaring of the cannot; made Brussels shake. About two o'clock in the afternoon all were on the alert, and great anxiety and suspense were 'experienced by the inhabitants of the town. Our anxiety was, however, relieved about seven by the arrival of our brave fdlows into line, which was an efreetuil barrier to the French gaining possession of Brussels: Th s memorable battle was fought at Quatre Bras, where four roads meet, near the. great lain of Fleurus. The French had already pushed on to that point, and were fast advancing, but the ions of Britain did their duty. The troops of Nas sau, the Dutch, and Belgians, all behaved with distinguished bravery ; and our gallant High liindere, who are ever foremost in danger, suffer ed greatly. The Brunswick ers did honour to their -country. " I ascertained near the plain that the French had retreated about one league from the field of battle, and were supported by a wood : our army is in possession of the plain of Fleurns, in the ex pectation of renewing the conflict to-merrow, un- less the erreray deem it .more expedient to retreat. Even now our fresh artillery is proceeding to the army, and the fittest I ever saw. CongrevC's , rockets in great abundance are- sent off to the army, ana 1 conceive they will soon be in use." " OsTLND, JUNE 18.—They are bringing in the wounded to Brussels, Gh'ent, and other places in great numbers and the mastets of the transpoits in this harbour have orders to prepare for the re ception of prisoners for England. The hist alarm having subsided at Brussels, and the pursuit of the French by the Allies• being known, we arc all quiet here though, for the sake of precaution, this place is expected to be declared in a state of siege to-morrow." Among the reports, respecting the accuracy of which we are very. sceptical, is one, that the French, on measuring bayonets with the Belgians (a fine moment for a parley!). called nut to them, " Come over to us, you brave Belgians, rejoin your former standards and favourite EmperOr." But the Belgic' troops resisted the solicitations with disdain', and spewed they were determined to fight for their Icing and - country. Another report of the Prince of CARANGE . hav ing been taken and retaken several times, and that his biotinr was wounded—a third, that•the Duke Uf IVELLitcoroN had a horse killed under him---•• a fourth, that BUONAPARTE had idly boasted he would sleep at Brussels on the 17th i• that NEY %tar; taken, - no quarter given, and a variety of other rumours which fill up the imaginary can- vas; fpit ire either too absurd or too insignificant to deserVe repetition.

FITZGERALD, SCI. Knight of Kerry, and the Hon. JArvir.s Bpi-I.En, arrived last night from Brussels, which they left on Sunday. They em barked at Ostend on Monday, and after'they•bad left the harbour, a signal was made for a Post- Office Mail, which was put, on board, containing the Brussels Papers, inserted elsewhere. .. . . . . On their authority it rests (according to the ill. Chronicle) that the e►iemy retained possession of Charleroi : this w•e disbelieve. 'The General BERTRAND. taken prisOher, ii not 13tUoNAPARTE•s Elbese Marshal,.bnt is his relation. The followin►;; passages fro►n a letter in a Morn- ink; Paper, coincide entirely with the accounts w•e have received, and on which we most firmly rely : " BRUSSELS, JUNE l7.—An express arrived here the day before yesterday, in the evening, with an account that the Prussians on the side of Charleroi bad been taken by surprise by the French array at the moment they were in their quarters. Another express followed close after; to say that the Prussians had been compelled, under all the circumstarices, to hire way, and were retreating in haste. Such intelligence excited a momentary alarm, and many were on the wing to fly from Brussels." NAVAL NE WS.

EXTRAOR DINAR 4 1 PIIENOMENON IN THE SUN. Other papers, we understand, both in America and England, have noticed the remarkable cir cumstance to which we are now alluding. The following is an authentic and correct account, for the truth of which Captain Haves, of his Majesty's ship Majvstic, now lying in Plymouth harbour, and the m hole of his officers and ship's company, may be appealed to On the morning of the 27th August, 1813, the Majestic being then off Boston, the men on hoard observed, at the rising of the sun, the complete figure of a man in the centre of that luminary . , , with a flag divided by three liirs!s in his hand. He was at first on hiS hack, but as day advanced., he gradually assumed an erect posture, and at mid day stood upright : towardS evening lie as gradu ally declined, descending wiih his • flag head foremost. We have seen a drawing of the phe nomenon, and nothing can be more correct than . the human figure, its dress complete, and the 1 flag. On the 2Sth it retained the same outline, but had bPcome a skeleton. ' On the 29th the figure was disjointed, and its parts gradually assumed the appearance of six se partit e flags, united in a circle by an apparent cord or line. After this, nothing, more was ob served on the sun's disk but a few small spots. The American Papers, we believe, notice only the ex•;nordinary appearance of the Sun on the a bove -mentioned days. , Perhaps the observers .on drat continent were not in a position to catch the - precise appearance which the particles of matter presented to the ship's company of the Majestic. fliere could be no optical delusion on the occa sion., as the phenomenon was observed ,Ity so many 'different eyes, and for so !Ong a i ime.; The first figure was seen during the whole of the 27th, the skeleton the whole of the 28th, and the six flags during a great part . of the The.above is an occurrence which may merit the attention of the philosophic. It is singular, we conceive, but nothing mi racu l ous or portcn , tons. Indeed, as the Sun is the centre of a sys tem of rlanets, several of which are much larger and probably more important than our's, we do not now why this common luminary should shape his face, or have it shaped tor him, so as to in dicate the particular occurrences of this'eatth. Th e Sun is no doubt a material, luminous body, —perhaps liable to an internal irregular motion ' of its parts; at least tbk phenomenon would seem to prove it so : and most people have observed l 7 in feequently t h e i gnited cinders of a eotnon fi re present, at different times, the various ap-: pearanCes of tnen, trees, horses, houses, &C. The evidence, however, for the 'phenomenon we must again add, is of the most Undoubted and respectable kind. \V bare seen, and have by us, copies of Dtawings made by Captain Hayes .tin the. occasion, SHOCKING MURDE --Yesterday everrii about o'clock, a barbarous fiturder was cominitted on Mrs. ligAstEir, the wife of 4 harrier, residing nt Nd. 17, Belton...street, Drury-lane, by A inan whd we understand had lodged hi the liaise, and who, After having Wendy severed the heat+ from the b o dy, threw her down the kitchen-stairs, ‘fliere she was found by the landlord, who saw the ruf fian escape from the house, exclainaing, a drunken WOMAD laid there, ItTAIIGATt, JUNt.
