THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

Upon this a negocialion was entered into, which ended
in the signing of the following capitulation, this night;
that is to say, that he would send an officer, with an Aid-
de-Camp of General Anthing, to Cambray, to ascertain
the fact of the residence of the King of Francein that
town, and the abdication of Bonaparte in favour of his.
son, and that, thereupon, he would give us this night at

amarte, July 4, 1815.
My Loan -= Field Marshal Blucher was strongly op.
posed by the enemy in taking the position on the left of
the Seine, which I reported in my dispatch of the 2d in-
stant, that he intended to take up on that day, partial.
!ariy on tho heights of St. Cloud and Meltdon, but the
gallantry of the Prussian troops, under Geneva! Ziethen,
surmounted every obstacle, and they succeeded finally in
establishing themselves on the heights of Meudon, and
in the village of Issy. The French attacked them again in
Lary, at three o'clock in the morning of the 3d, but were
repulsed with considerable loss ; and finding that Paris
was then open on its vulnerable side, that a communication
was opened between the two Allied Armies, by a bridge
which I had had established at Argenteuil, and that a
British corps was likewise moving upon the left of the
S,:ine, towards the Pont de Neuilly, the enemy sent to
desire that the firing might cease on both sides of the Seine,
with a view to the negociation, at the palace of St. Cloud,
of a Military Convention between the armies, under
which the French army should evacuate Paris. Officers
accordingly met on both sides at St. Cloud ; and I inclose
the copy of the Military Convention which was agreed
to last night, and which had been ratified by Marshal
l'iince Blucher and me, and by the Prince d'Echmulil,
on the part of the French army. This Convention de-
cides all the military questions at this moment existing
here, and touches nothing political. General Lord Hill
ha; marched to take possession of the posts evacuated
by agreement this day, and I propose to-morrow to take
possession of Montmartre. I send this dispatch by my
Aide-de-Camp, Captain Lord Arthur 11111, by way of Ca-
lais. Ile will be able to inform your Lordship of any
fertiler particulars, and I beg leave to recommend him to
your favour and protection. I have, &c.
