NEWS FROM THE ARMY: (Extracted front the lifoniteui-) We litive not space to point out the different po sitions which the respective armies occupied pit the 16th, and from which it appears, that on that day—the left—the right—anti the reserve were equally engaged for the distance if nearly two leagues. On the 17th, at ten o'clock at bight, the Centre of the English army occupied Mont Saint Jedn, and was posted in advance of the Forest of Soignies ; it would have been necessary to spend . three hours in making dispositions to attack it ; and therefore it was necessary to postpone it till the following day. The head-quarters of the Emperor were esta , Wished at the farm of Caiilon, near Planchenort. The rain fell in torrents. BATTLE OF MONT ST. JEAN. At nine o'clock in the morning, the rain bay , ing in some degree abated, the Isis Corps was. put in motion, and took up a position with its left on the road to Brussels, and opposite the -village of Mont St. Jean, which appeared the centre of the enemy's position. The right of the second corps rested on the Brussels roads, and its left on a little wood within cannon-shot of the English army. The Cuirassiers were in the rear in reserve, _and the Guard also in reserve, on the heights. The 6th corns with the cavalry of General d'Aumont, under - the orderS of Count Lobau, was destined to be posted in the real- of our right, to oppose a - Prussian corps - which seemed to have escaped from Marshal Grouchy, and to intend to fall upon our right flank---•-an intention which we learnt by our. reports, and also by a letter which was found upon a Prussian General Officer who was carrying or ders, and was taken by our scouts. The troops were full of ardour. The force of the English army was estimated at 80,000 men ; it was supposed that a Prussian corps whiCh might he in line towards the evening, consisted perhaps of 15,000 men. The forces of the enemy, then, were more than ninety thousand men ; ours were less numerous.. By mid-day all the preparations, were finished, Prince Jerome, cotntnanding a division of the 2d corps, and destined to form its extreme left, marched upon a wood, part of which was occupied by the enetny.---The cannonade commenced on each side. The troops of the enemy which were detached. to guard the wood, were supported by 30 pieces of cannon.—On our side, we also made dispositions with our artillery. At one o'clock Prince Jerome was master of the whole wood, and the whole of the English army fell bac% and covered itself. The Coma d'Erlou then attacked the village of Mont St. Jean, and canned his attack to be supported by SO pieces of cannon. A tremendous cannonade ensued, front which the English army must have suffered im mense loss. Every shot took effect. A Brigade of the .Ist Division of Count d'Er ion obtained possession of the village of Mont St. Jean. A second Brigade was charged by a which of British cavalry, sich made it suffer great loss. At the same instant a Division of English cavalry charged the battery of COunt d'Erlon on the right, and dismounted several pieces ; but the cuirassiers of General Milhaud charged that Divi sion, three regiments of which were broken,, and cut to pieces. - It was now three o'clock in the afternoon. — The Emperor caused the Guard to advance, to post it in the plain, on the same ground which had been occupied by the first Corps at the com mencement of the action : that co.rp - s being already in advance, - the Prussian Division, the movement of which had been prevented, then engaged the tiraillenrs of , Count Lobau, pro longing at the same time their fireniong the whole of our right flank. It was necessary, before no dertaking aarthing elsewhere, to wait the issue of this attack. For this. purpose, all the means of the reserve were ready to be employed in assisting Count Lobar, and breaking the Prussian corps as soon as it came up. This done, the Emperor formed the project to direct an attack . by the village of Mont St. Jean, frofh which the most decisive success was expect ed ;—but by one of those impatient movements (movement d'impatience), so frequent in our mili tary annals, and which have so. often beo fatal —the cavalry of the reserve, perceiving - a re trograde movement which was made by the English, to shelter themselves from our bat teries, which had already - caused them, -much loss—crowned the heights of Mont-Saint- Jean, and charged the infantry. This move ment which made at a proper time and supported by the reserve, would have decided the fate of the day., being now made isolatedly (isolemz.nt) and betore the affairs on the right were terminated, be 7 came fatal. "There being no means of countermanding the enemy showing many masses of infantry Anti cavalry, and its two divisions of cuirassiers being engagetl,—the whole of our cavalry rushed at th e same moment to support their comrades. Then, for three hours, numerous-charges were made, by which we succeeded in penetrating several squares, and taking six standards from the English infan iry,--an advantage by no means ploportionate to the loss which our cavalry 'sustained from the . g rape-shot and rockets. It was, impossible to dispose of our reserves of infantry until the flank attack of the Prussian corps was repulsed. This attack was prolonged ‘vithout intermission, and perpendicolarly upon our right flank ;—the Emperor sent thither General Da hsme with the young guard and several batteries of the reserve. The enemy was out -numbered, was repulsed, anti fell back ; he. had exhausted his forces, and there Was nothing More to fear frora. them. the ornent appointed- for 0 attack upon the enemy's centre. • As the Curassiers soffared by .the 'Oape:;.shrit, four battalions of the Provisional Guard Were.eitt to proteCt tie Curassiers, to sustain the posi , ioll, and, if possible, to relickre a part . of ottr etivalry, and make them . ft4ll: bark •upon the plain. TWO Other . battathinFttere :sent to hold thent selVes in 'force on the extreme let of the divlsida :which hail Manceuvred upon oar flanks, that there might be no iotint for. tiaeas'less' 'respecting that quartei' H.:411e rest was disptised in reserve,- part to ocenpr the position in rear of Mont St. jean, nart npott the plain behind the-field • of, battle, Which formed our position of retreat. " • In thii state of things the battle was gained ; we occupied the positions which bad been held by the eneuiy at the commencement of the action ; our cavalry having been employed tor) soon; and badly; . tve could no longer hope for decisive suc cesses. Bat Marshal Grouchy having learnt the movement of thePrussianxorps' Marched upon the rear of that corpS,:whiclf u insred the most brilliant success for the day. After eight hours of firing ; and continued charges of infantry and ci vMry; the Whole 'artily saw with satisfactioh the battle gainetly'and the . field in our poss.esion. About half-past 8 o'clock the four battalionS of the Provisional Guaril wide!) had been- posted on the plain beyond Mont St. Jean to support the Curassiers being galled by the fire of grape, charg ed with the bayonet to tarry the hatterieS. T h e day was over charge made upon their flank . by several English squadrons threw them into dis-. order; they took to flight, and . crossed the ravi'ue ; the tegimentS who were near them seeing some Guards flying in confusion, believed that it was the old Guard; and' threw themselves into disorder; cries of '' All is lost, and the Guard is repulsed," were• heard :—it is even said by the soldiers, that malevolent apos tates cried out at different places, " save himself who can," However it was, a panicspre.ad through the whole field at the same instant---the troops, with the utmost precipitation _and disorder, tell back upon the line of communication :;----soldiers— artillerytnen—caissons—pressed on to reach 'it ; even the Old Guard, which. was in - reserve, Was E assailed by the same . panici.and gave way to it. In an instant, the whole army was .a mass of• confusion--troops of all kinds were huddled toge ther, and it was impossihle to rally a single corps. The enemy: perceiVed this astonishing confusion, and debouched - with columns of cat alry-the dis order ivas augmented—the confusion of the night prevented the p9ssihility of rallying the troops, and showing theta their error. • Even the squadron which surrounded the, Em peror were hfoken. up and disorganised by the tumult, and there was - nothing to be done - but to 'follow. the tOrt-etit: The parks of reserve—the biggage -which had not recrossed • the Sambre, and all that was on the :field of battle,remained in the power of the enemy. There was not even any, means of waiting for the - 11661)s on our right.; and it is known what the most- brave army in the world becomes when thrown into ebnfusion. The Emperor passed the Sambre 'on the 19th, at five o'clock in the morning ; Yhillipeville and Avesnes were given nut as rallying•points. Prince Jerome, General Nior,and, add others, have ready rallied part of the army. Marshal Grouchy, with the corps of- the right, effected his movement on the Lower Sambre. The loss of the .enenty must have been very great. [Then follow speculations on the loss of the British, Belgian, sad Prussian armies.] Our artillery, as usual, covered itself with glory. The carriages of the head-quarters remained in their ordhsary position—no retrograde movement ; during the night they fell into the hands of the Such was the issue of the battle of Mont Saint Jean, so glorious yet so fatal to the French Army. CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES. SITTING OF,THE 21ST JUNE. After the preliminary business,.
