WELIJNaroiI .and BLuctrt:a saved themsefvei With difficulty; and the tffect was, quite in the Corsican's way,.--‘c theatrical." Against these unfounded assertions, we have only to set the Official Dispatch of the British CoMmander,. who tells us, that the Prussians removed from their position so entirely without molestation, that the French videttes retired on the coming up of the British patroles ! But the Battle of the 18th is the best refutation of such forgeries. The most important particulars in these Jour nals, however, independently of those which may be gathered from the Report of FOUCHE, nu which we shall offer a few remarks in a separate article, are the Confessions of the Alinister at War, from which we learn, first, that there are communications carried on between the Royalists in the 'West and Paris, for M. de Gueri of Rennes, wbo had arrived from the Capital the night be fOre, is found among the slain, itt au action with the rebel General ROUSSEAU, at Mnzillac ; . and,se 7 condly,that the important fact, exclusively stated in THE SUN of yesterday, of the Austrians having in vaded France, is confirmed,—for a telegraphic dis patch from Lyons announces an Action between that force and SUCH ET, at Montmellian, a frontier town of Savoy, near Chambory, and to the north-east of Grenoble. We hear from Germany, and from Correspon dents on whom we have great reliance, that besides this Invasion of the. South of France, the GRAND AUSTRIAN ARMY was to enter that Country by Baste on the 20th of this month, if not ;ooner, in consequence of the movements of the Enemy; and that a SECOND GRAND ARMY, of which the Bava rian Contingent forms the chief force, amounting to at least 80,000 men, were also to enter France on the same day by MANI-mot. It is unnecessary for us to say, that BUoNA PARTE beaten in the North, must, it is morally certain, be overpowered by these armies, even were there not a Russian in the fiell. The Report made by FOUCHE to BUONAPARTE, on the Internal State of France, shows how ninth good men have to hope, and the Rebels to fear, from the efforts of the Royalists. At Marseilles, Tholouse, and Bourdeaux, the laws of the Usur per are set at nought. The Royalists are in arms, and the Rebel Troops, instead of bvin7, able to accomplish the object of quelling this spirit, find themselves surrounded by the armed Patriots, and in danger of destruction.—No wonder then that Foucns, after confessing this, is obliged to state, that " the National Militia has been formed with the utmost difficulty. The Military and Marines refused to answer the calls made on them, awl obeyed only when compelled."— Under these circumstances, so alarming to the Rebel Government, what are the remedies which tits veteran terrorist recommends ? The snspen sion of individual liberty ! Every " good Citi zen " is to " make the momentary sacrifice of a part of his personal security, that the Govern ment may be. the means of guaranteeing the gene ra) security." But to prevent this from being misconstrued, he adds, " it is no longer enough " that arrests should he made on the most grave " probabilities. We may he quite certain of hav e' ink; detected bad Citizens, hut may nut be pos " sessed of the proofs of their guilt."=Now all you Frenchmen who have been deceived by the artifices of the Usurper—who have been dream ing of national glory—who have been seduced by the pretences of a free Constitution and Liberty of the Press—now are you awakened to the real horror of your situation ? rersonal liberty to be suspended, to give an usurping Government the - means of guaranteeing the national security—that Government whose Minister mocks your confi dence, by confessing that when von have divested yourselves of the first privilege conferred by civil Government, your persons are to be subjected to arrest—not upon absolute proof—not .-upon pro bable evidence—but upon bare suspicion :—and whoever is thus arrested upon the suspicion of being suspected, is to be detained without any proof, for jaeobinism knows no such word' in its dispensations of vengeance—to be detained in dungeons, because its this Monster states in his Report, " bringing to trial presents an embar rassment which must he avoided, .as (mark the impudence of the phrase) it would he necessary to acquit them I" This cannot Irst long. Those troops, who, as this 'Report ay.ow:‘, refused to march in the cause of the Üburper, until they were compelled, are those to whom the duty of enforcing the measures of terror ntast be intrusted, now that the Brigands who coutpellol them must be called awn v to de,fend We Person of their discomfited Chief. r The arms of " the National Militia And the Marine'• will then be turned against Iteir Oppressors. A Mcsaenger arrived at Lord SIDMOUTII . 6 Of fice Ws morpirg very early ; but we do not learn th a t he brought any thing important. Nothi►►g had transpired whoa this Paper was put to press.

SECOND EDITION., SUN-OFFICE, Two o'CLocK. CONTINUATION OF GOOD NEWS. A FRENCH CORPS CUT OFF.--THE ENIZIY'S LINE OF RETREAT IMPEDED. We have lust received a Letter from Brussels, dated 4 o'clock, P. M. 20111 June—the latest v‘e have yet seen in London. It is almosttelegra phic for brevity and importance. The French have already re-crossed their own Frontiers ! VANDANtmE has been cut off: (his old fate)--- He commanded the Third Corps , .• , BLUCHER is getting round the French Line o f Retreat T. ! THREE O'CLOCK. Government have received no further dispatches. A private Letter, which is relied upon, an nounces that the BRITISH HEAD-QUARTERS have been advanced to BINCH, 8 miles from Mons, about 40 miles from Brussels, and 12 from Mau benge. The Prussians arc, it adds, far within the French territory, hanging on the Enemy's flank, and endeavouring to cut off his retreat en tirely. Every new letter speaks with increased confi dence of the immense losses sustained by the E!lemy, even to the extent of one Half of his Army hors de combat. His Retreat resembles the March from Moscow for disorder and abandonment of all the Materiel —only the weather is warmer. Among the various reports which are in circu lation in the City this morning, is one, that Buo- NAPARTE has received a contusion ; another, that he has lost an arm ; a third, that the number of caanon taken exceeded 300 ; and a fourth, that se rious Insurrections have broken out in Paris. It is also asserted, that a Moniteztr of the 19th ac knowledges that BUONAPARTE has been defeated, with the loss of 15,000 men. We have not seen this Paper, and therefore only give it, as well as the above, from the City as mere rumours. Our Funds are very brisk ; at 2 o'clock the Oinniurn had advanced at 9-,1 per cent. prew.

Sailed last evening the Betsey, OLIVER, for India, and ran on shore on the Flats off Rowney : it is float . next t next title, and return toile s There arc n►:►ny private letters from Brussels in town, dated Tuesday last ; but the people there do not seem to kc-ton• as much as is coa►municated in the Ettraordinara Gazette. Among the reports at the :West End of the Town, thi: morning, it was said that Dispatches dated the 20th, front Duke WELLINGTON, had ar rived in town, stating that he had advanced, and th tt BUONAPAIITE had IctirCd ; but this report, we are asnred, is unfounded, The illumination at the Admiralty tbisevening and to-morrow, will he on a most splendid and brilliant scale.. In addition to the usual devices displayed on the screen in front of the building, w ill he in small lamps " Unconquered -14 1 ellington." There was an arrival of Spanish Papers, last night, to the 10th instant. They contain very gratifying intelligence of .the state, of things iu the South of France, where, so far 'from all the exertions of BuoNArA emissaries-being able to raise any thing like a party in his favour, the Canse of Loyalty and of Lou is XVIII. skewed itself s tronger an d stronger every day. One of BUONA PARTE's Generals, with a body of men, and four pieces of cam - Jock, gave proof of .his discretion, by retiring before Aix, where the inhabitants were determined to withstand hint ; at Bourdeaux and at Marseilles several of BUONABARTE'S Olers were killed in affairs with the people ; and we tire happy to see that among the. troops themselves a sense of returning loyalty is manifested. Some soldiers of the garrison of liellegarde had begun to cry ['lye. le Loi ! for which they were not, ar rested, only because it was expected that such a measure would determine _:,heir comrades to fol lim their examples MILITARY LING for the late VICTORY ~ The Par a de o f St. James's Park yesterday morning was uncommonly numerous and splen did.. =The Household Brigades, consistiug of the Life,. Guarda an& Oxford Blues, and the Foot Guards, Aa ere drawn up ax half past nine o'clock, and occupied I.ac space from Carlton House to the Bird.cake-walk. At ten the guns fixed a double salute, in celebration of the Glorious Victory achieved by the Dad e Of WELLINGTOI4 over BOO NArkraR ; aft:fr said,. the cavalry flourishing their swords, the infantry wavia..l their cars with, sprigs of oak in them, gave three hearty cheers, in which the military were joined by the accla mations of an immense concourse of people, who had assembled at an early hour from all paits of the Metropolis. The cavalry then went through various evolutions with incredible celerity, and the Bands continued playing national airs, flou. rishes of trumpets, &c. at intervals, for three quarters of - an hour. At eleven a general movement of the troops took piece : the Foot Guards, who occupied the centre, advanced to the rails of the Park, formFg double lines, three deep, the Life Guards on toe right, and.the Blues on the left. The Duke of YORK on foot, and surrounded by an immeuse crowd, who bad accompanied him from York House, appeared in front of the line, and was received.hy the military with the usual honours, and by the company with loud and reiterated ac clamation. A fen-de -joie was now fired from the extreme right of the line to the left, the effect of which was greatly enhanced by the cavalry discharging their carbines. The foot-guards- then fell bark to their usual position ; the cavalry closed from right and. left. The Duke of Yoax, accompanied by a nuns. ber of Field Officers, read The London Gazette, containing the glorious news from the theatre of . the war ; at the conclusion of which the military and the spectators united in three more loud cheers; alter which the military filed off, some to their quarters, and others to relieve the different guards. A rumour prevailed on the parade, that the eagles which had been taken would be exhibited as proud trophies of the victory ; but this exhi bition is postponed till . the solemn ceremonial o' depositing them in Whitehall Chapel shall take place ; when, we doubt not, many others will be added to the number. The captive eagles are now at Carlton-house; they are quite new, and are two of those that were presented by BUONAPARTE to his household troops at the memorable assembly of the Champ de Mai. aml have under them a magnificently embroidered. colour, about the size of the standard used by the cavalry. Owing to the miserable state of the roads, it was not till a late hour that the Prussian Corps, which had promised to support our's, were en• shied to come up. ; but when they did, their pre sence was most highly serviceable. had not Ge neral BuLoyv so judiciously:placed himself on the tummy's flank, the Duke of WELLINGTON would probably nut have risked that tvell-timed attack which decided the fate of the day. On all sides was seen a total disregrtrd of perlcpal leaders were mingled in the heat of the fray like the meanest soldier. The Duke of \VELLINGTON was itt close conversation with Lord UXBItIDGE xviien latter received the ball in his•kuee. His Lord ship ha'. been throughout the day foremost itt danger and glory. Marshal lit.ocnEe, it is said, was - for some moments a prisoner. As to Buox,s- PARTE, he was more than one inclosed among the British troops, and disentangled, as were by miracle. lie led on the guard himself to the charge, and seemed to feel- that there could be no hope for his power, but in the absolute jeopardy of his life. _ _ At the close of the pursuit of the enemy is the, great battle, the Duke. of \Vi LLI NGTON, finding tl►e troops so exhausted as to be unable to pro— ceed, recommended it to them to give the flying enemy three British cheers before halting. The account of the great victory arrived on the anniversary of another victory gained by the same immortal Hero—the battle of Vittoria. The first battalion of Giiards were ordered off to tl►e Netherlands yesterday morning. The Duke of Yon': made a very excellent ►address to them, which was received by the loudest huzzas. Major -PBRCY, who brought th►e Duke of WEL,. LlN;;To's's dispatches, is sort of the Earl of Be-, ArEHLEY. The Court of Common Council is summoned. -to meet at Guildhall. on Tuesday next, to consi der of addressing the PIUNCE REGENT on the de, feat of BuoNAPARTe. The Cephalus brig of war arrived on Monday at Plymouth from the coast of La Vendee, haying. under convoy two transports, which had sailad recently from that port, with arias for the use of the Royalists, and had happily succeeded in effect-. ing her object, , We have the pleasure to state that the. Right Hon. J. H. ADDINGTON is SZ) much recovered from his severe indisposition, that he was yester day able to resume his official duties.
