I flare been moth ',leased with my jaituney loom
Paris hither. We passed through many place
interest, none more so than Cauthrai; but which,
however, I believe owed mote to the tircieinsisoce
of our soldiers bring there than to any local advan-
tage. It was quite delightful to milk through th.,
tinsel and find English more numerous that.
It is a pleasant town, and I think the soldiers ai“e
not generally dissatisind with their tannic.
spoke to many. The English Officers art not po-
pular there ; the Guards have brought them Int,
disrepute, by their overhearing and hattgloy
ci ii-
duct. It is supposed there that the Allied
will not he so soon removed from France as Nr
have been led to expect. Valeircietnies is HI-.
ifiled with English regiments: this town is moth
inferior to Cambrai, in point of cleanliness loot
appearance, but the fortifications are wonderful. I
assii;:e you those towns have more interest for me
thin all the line palaces I saw in Paris. I think I
was intended fur, or ought to have been, a soldier.--
The -English have been busily employed here in
making pleasant walks upon the ramintrts round
the tenet. %'e have suffered greatly from intense
heat ; although in Paris we were expiring from
its effects, yet it wanted two or three degrees ut its
general summer heat. Rain was gleatly waul"'•
iVe have had showers occasionally ou our route, lint
they have been very partial. We remarked a strong
contrast in agriculture upon entering the Nether-
lands: here every field beaus an appearance of Eng-
lish cultivation, and the crops are most pi onancig.
France expects a most abundant wanner, aid I
believe their land is very productive--and so It
ought to be, as I think Nature UM,: tin mtirli fur
them ; then method of eqzrictilitue appear, ,0 hart.

d frrent crops—here potatoes—there hay, wheat,
mmeard, &c. hc. All raised in a most ridiculous in-
farsier-like ins suer; bet in the Netherlands you
see, as in England, richness, regularity, lied va►t
quantities of well-enclosed fields. richly cultivated.
We reached Brussels on the 16th, but delayed our
visit to Waterloo until this day, that we might have
the satisfaction of being there ars the anistiro-sary of
of its glorious battle. The same feeling drew all
the English. travellers and residents. from this
place to tAut spot so interesting to them. We
failed not to take with us a few branches of
laurel, and stressed the graver of our dear la.
mented countrymen, whose fume derived from
this *elitist, must live as long as time shall endure.
The day has been devoted chiefly to solemn ex-
pressions of feeling. thanksgiving having been per-
formed at all the churches, at one of which the
Duke of Kent and his Duchess *flooded. There
was mass early in the morning at Waterloo Church,
for the repose of the souls of the soldiers. The
25111 is appointed for public demonstrations of joy
and festivity. A body of the Prussian Officers,
however, having formed a procession at Planche-
note, for the purpose of erecting a column com-
memorative or their share iu this glorious action,
terminated the ceremony by an elegant disuser on
the spot, at which the greatest hilarity prevailed,
and strangers of any nation hospitality invited
to partake of it. I think I could venture to say,
there were no French there, on such an occasion.
During the fete the effect was heightened to an
extraordinary .egret by one of the most violent
storm. I ever witnessed. The thunder rolled for
half an hoar, in uninterrupted peals, resembling
the roar of distaut cannon, which our guide in-
formed us brought beck the awful scene of this
day three years to his mind, with an appearance
bordeting on reality. This root was succeeded by
a sort of torpedo, which lasted for five minutes,
slid ended in a fall of hail-stones, in sine resem-
bling grape-shot ; I saw many (and I am not ex-
aggerating, I assure you), of this size, but inclined
to lie flat. This carried destruction upon the
crops on which they fell, end demolished all the
wisidows to windward (sea term, you set) against
which it heat. Not a house in the village of Ww.
trrloo that does not bear evident marks of the fury
of the storm, having from SO to 100 panes of glass
broken in melt. whilst the windowed dome of the
church, from its elevation, shared a worse fate, and
may be almost said to be bested in, deluging the
inside with water, from the heavy skewer that suc-
ceeded it. The walls of La Hsye Saint. and Hon.
goinsint, bear pot a more battered aspect than do
the eindows of the village of Waterloo it this
moment. Vire saw the hail-stones an horde alter
they fell, and we were assured they had lost Duch
of their size, winch they must, from the heat of the
day. The people appeared quite alarmed. We
were, with many others, shot up during the storm,
in La Belle Alliance, in th• yard of which we had
eaten our dinner in the carriage. We inteud
lengthening our journey to Antwerp. This has
been a very mournful day fur me. I cannot de-
end* my feelings of mind on witnessing the graves
of the soldiers.
