t. e which vomited a deluge of balls nud grape-shat upon them. The charges, evliich ,11:1(1 been ordered., were imaiedialely executed ! A most firrmidable column advanced towards Mont Sail Jean, where a desperate struggle ensued. The French cavalry darted forward, at the same time, to seize the artiiiery, but WAS assailed in its :turn by the cava:ry of the enemy, and the carnage on - both sides was Lorrible. Neither one side nor the other would yield an inch of ground. Fresh columns advanced, the charges were re newed', and the position was thride on the point of being forced, but thrice, after performing► prri .digies of valour, the French were arrested in their, progress. They now began to exhibit symptoms of hesitation and in qu i e t u d e . S evera l di smount-, cd batteries were put into retreat. A consider aid number of wounded soldiers were deta c hed troin the main body, and spread alarm as to the i!,ne of the battle. Profound silence had succeed ed' to the acclamations and cries of joy with which. ccrtaiii of marching to victory, had be- tore been rending the air. With the exception of the infantry of the guard, ail the troops were en .g v. t 1 and exposed to a most . destructive fire. • 'the action continued with unaba tine violence, yet mithout any decisive result. " It was near seven o'clock when BUONAPARTE, `.lllO had till then remained on the hill, from which :4e cleariy saw all that was passing, contemplutcd. with a look of ferocity the hideous scene of but- chery beneath him. The more numerous the dif . ficnhies which occurred, the more obstinate did he aorwar. He was indignant' at obstacles he hail so little foreseen, and far from thinkiug that it wax wrong to - sacrifice an army, which likced unbounded confidence in bin:, he inces :sandy sent fresh troops, with orders to charge • and force their way in spite of every resistance. li e was several times told, that appearances were _b a d, a n d that the troops were exhausted ; but his only ansver was Forward, forward Thus did this Demon lavish the blood of thou sands of his infatuated followers, and, unhappily, in resisting them, caused the dearestplood of Bri taio to flow. The subsequent defeat of the enemy, and t►te cowardly flight of BUONAPAUTE, nearly occupy the remaining pages, and are well painted in the pamphlet before us. But it does not seem rcqui. site to extract this part of the narrative, nor in- deed slyrill we do the Author the injustice to rob pis ‘vork of tLe circulation to which it is enti tled, by copying more of it into our columns than is.uceessary toiuforin the public of its excellence. We ;hall therefore briefly conclude with the men. titan of a fea• nos' facts. The French loss in the battle Is estimated at Vlore than 20,0 W) men left upon the field. The Imperial Guard are said .to have fired on each other, rather than accept quarter, exelarning, " The imperial Guard can die, hut not sur- render." .

B [JONA PA RTE. 131JONAPA1;;rE, during a few days previous to bis departure from P.,ris, appeared meditative - , and much employed ; it was, however, on his own personal affairs, His attention was turned to the no.w world whither he was going: Yon may, perhaps, suppose that the examples of those Ro man heroes who could not outlive their honour able defeat on the plain of Philippi, might have occurred to his remembrance ; or he of Pontes, who, though out o f t h e reac h of Pompey, 'sought no further refuge than the Cimerian Bosphorus, he - the double instrinoent of poison and the sword.. You may imagine that he was reflecting on the frreudly effers'ot his faithful Mameluke, echo, on frig abdication the preceding year at- Fontaine , bleat', stood before him %rid' his newly sharpened seinnetar, saying, that he waited his orders to per ' form the last duty. The examples of Cato, of - Utica, of Hannibal, and of so' many other illus trious personages, you may believe, glided through his mind. No, linunaparte's thoughts were re mote from these heathenish deeds of greatness ; irk wditations were of a more sober amt fatniliar nature. The preparations with which be was bu sied at this - eventful moment, '' big with his fate,"' were those of Pella!, and perfumery; and his discpurse was of the cut, size, and quality of va rioms kiwis of shirts,- and the quantity of poina tuths and perfumes which he judged necessary for his expedition. 'The inventory of those objects whieh lie has left behindhim is not the least cu thins fragment found among the collection of his State •Papers. It .ippears that no detail was otnittel or .neglected, for the voyage he was pre paring to make towards the new world, in the , well-stored cabin of a light frigate ; and its to his return to our hemisphere, he left that affair, at present, to his a',lll-t.

TIIE SUN. 31PLEM uuL incLue VALIMM ALIDEAT LONDON. THURSDAY, NOI 7 EJiBER 9, Isl 3 The arrival of the Convention of Paris, fully ratified, may certainly be expected immediately. , The British Ministers who have been engaged in consummating this great work, and many of our other distinguished Countrymen, are now on their return from Paris. Mr. ARBVTIVNOT is expected to-morrow or next day ; and, from his high official situation, may probably be the bearer of the important docu ment by which the Peace of . Europe is secured. The presence of this Gentleman in Paris during the indisposition of Lord CASTLEREAGH 111 . 11 St have been ,of infinite benefit to the interests of Great Britain in these Negociations. This is a dies non for Foreign arrivals. We have now two day's French Papers due, and are without any very :ecent accounts from Germany or Flanders. Private letters are said to state, that a furious persecution of the Protestants continues iii the South of France. We have not'seen any of these Epistles, nor if we had, would we have credited them. There may be a civil warfare in the quar ter a:lntled to, in which persons of this persan sion are slain, but there is too little religion of any kind in any part of France to give cause ,for a' .contest on the score of principles, faith, or belief. The Revolution liberalized, or We - may rather coin a term, imjidelized men's ideas too much to leave any ground for contest on matters of this kind. The Jacobins of the South may call themselves Protestants if they please, in order to excite a sympathy in certain quarters; but the whole story of their being massacred on the score of religion, in France, is.one of the grossest absurdities that was ever attempted to be imposed on mankind.— It might as truly be told that this was a struggle be t ween ifusstdinOng and Wa chabites. But y our RM.)... lutionary gentry liaviug worn all their old appella tions into disgrace, seem determined to assume a better set, and if the go on in the way they have begun, we shall shortly need a new vocabulary and glossary of this kind--• Buonapartist ' A Protestant Royalist Rebels Li beralci Servile% Loyalists Patriots Revolted Colonie4 .

AdviCes were rcceited this day at the Admi ralty from the Cape of Good Hope, but we do not understand that they are of any consequence. After contradictin g our statement of the re-ap pearance of the malignant fever at Cadiz, the Morning Chronicle of this day contains the follow ing paragraph :—. " The distemper which, by some of Our let ters, we really find hac, to a certain extent, been prevailing in Cadiz, is called Fievre Catarrhal, and its strongest symptom has been a severe cold, end-' ing in a violent fever." It might had added, " death." Government yesterday received dispatches from llalira X, by the CanSe schooner, arrived at Ports mouth, and with these Caine to hand New York, Yams ta'the 7th nit. and letters From Halitax to the 23d. It would appear by the latter, as if some alarm had beets excited there on account of the threateuing aspect of affairs between the Bri tish apd Ames leans on the Lakes. It was 'not. known, whether it was with a view to offensive or defensive measures, or whether it was merely from motives of pride, that so great a straggle was making by the English and Americans to maintain a superiority of shipping on those waters ; but it wss - asserted, that at no time of the war was greater exertion made on both sides to attain this end.' The British, it was said, gave the first impulse, Ely hidilding and purchasing a number of vessels to be placed on Lakes Erie 'and Heron. The American Government iinmediately followed the example, by collecting : numerous shipping for the,saate stations. Governor CA,ss's orders were, to lase no time in having the Attie rican shipping in readiness. ..New forts were also I erecting wider his superintendence. One on atm enlarged scale was to be built. immedi ate l y i n the neighbourhood of Detroit intended to command all the country adjacent. _: _. __ - - ~:T ii rl c~.tivc ~ A tart of Biographical 'Dictionary - , entitled, The DICTIONARY Of WEATHERCOCKS (DiCtiOn- Haire des Giroue4tes), has lately been published in Paris am' it mast be confessed that the tergi versation and inconsistency of so many revolu tions as have harrasstri France in our tines, have fornish . ed ample materials for this whimsical Witimut exhausting the subject, it stretches to 490 closely 'printed pagvs :—and, we iuu a sketch hot's , And then, as the characters peep up in the new Drama performing by our neighbours, cannot fail to alituse the Readers of TaG SUN. SEGUIER, TRESIMENT ON THE COURT /10Y :LE. Speaking of the inauguration of this Court, a Morning Paper of yesterday says, " afforded occasion for the display of some good specimens of forensic oratory. The eminent lawyers (SE OUIER and BELLART) just mentioned, enjoy a high reputation in France for integrity as well as for talent. M. SEGUIER was the Judge who persisted in refusing to BUONAPARTE the title of Emperor (luring the late rebellion," &c. The Dictionary of Weathercocks however, con tains the name of this very Mr. S;',GUIEB i vho it states, served as an (Aker of cavalry. in the army of Conde;, was made a 2aron of the Empire, Comnrandant of the Legion of Honortr, and Mas ter of Requests, for the service extraordinaire, named by the Emperor. Since then, he has been made first PreSident of the Royal Court, Coun sellor of State, &c. by the King. 'rhe Monitear of the 24th January, 1509, con- tains an address which he delivered to BuoNA- PAItTE, manufactured in the most fulsome style of flattery,. He panegyrizes • the Usurper for an nexing Italy and Gei many to France ; and for seizing Spain--nicking the Pyrenees submit to the same Power with the Rhine and Alps. He tell 3 hint, that ha has accustomed France to victories, to the taking of cities and of kingdoms. When you go, says be, we kn4w you will return with new Crowns, and they arc obtained with such rapidity, that we have scarcely time to prepare our felicitations. He then talks in the usual French manner, of the Emperor's " imiense glory," anti of the " profound admiration and de votion" with which it has " filled all hearts." The Journal des Debats of flay 6, 181.1,.pre sents, al.,rain, another picture in a speech delivered by M. SLGUIER to the King. Here we have HENRY the Fourth ; the glory of entering Paris, not as a Conqueror hut a Libera tor ; the heartfelt acclamations of a People who b.ve been so long tyrannized over.—" Heaven (quoth M. SEGUJEB), lu.es taken pity on us.— It has marked the termination of oppression, and restores to us the man of its choice, the Prince according to the Law, whose mercy con sents to pardon all, and whose wisdom promises to repair every evil. . We, too, Sire,, are famished to behold one King, and by his side this Illus trious Orphan (Duchess of ANGOULEME), the an gel of consolatiOn, and brilliant example of vir tue." He concludes, according to the fashion of May 1814, with allusions to ST. Louis, anathe mas against upstart usurpation, and effusions of tenderness, and love, quid duty, and so forth. All this is very amusing, but we might as well look fur consistency during the • same period among our own ats Opposition, as among the Gentlemen who now figure round Louts XVIII . . ..
