GRANT TO TIJI Dufie OF WELLINGTON.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in a committee of Suppl)
ot► the Prince Regent's Message, moved that 200,000!. be granted
for the purpose of, or for the erection of a Nlaissioia for the puke
of Wellington. He stated, as a proof of the di'advautages under
which the Allies were attacked, that their forces covered a line nt
80 miles, so that it wonid take two or three days to concentrate
them. He added, from a letters which was written to kin► by an
individual on the spot, that the Dulce of Wellington's exertions on
Ilith were iatrttlible.that be was at every l►oiat of dialer.

that when every °tie despaired of victory, except hinielf, he took
Iris station on a litlgo, declaring that Le never would leave it but
as a conqueror ; and that he did not leave it till victory crowned
*our arms, although almost every one about him met with death.—
(Loud Cheering.)

Mr. WHITBREAD concurred in all that had been said of the great-
ness and splendour of the victory, and dwelt on the fine proof 4 of
mutual confidence that were displayed between the illustrious
Commander and his troops—Lorri Wellington three or four times
tlwowing himself into liqueres of infantry, not formed by 3tly parti-
cular regiments.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Anther remarked, that
the English line did not consist of picked men, whereas Btionap irte's
forces were chosen troops.

Mr. Smith, Sir W. Wynne, &c. having concurred, the Resolution.
were agreed to oein. coo.

The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER moved that 803,0001. be
granted to pay for the stores, Sze. captured timing the I'et►insidar
War, to be distributed atnong,t the officers and soldiers engaged in
that contest, which after some conversation was agreed to.

Some propositions connected with the Civil List afterwards
created considerable discussion. Report on Monday.
The other orders being disposed of, the House adjourned.

Waterloo, Jane 19.
My Lonn—Bonaparte having collected the Ist, '2d, 31, 4th.
met 6th corps of the French army, and the Imperial Guards, and
neatly all the cavalry on the Sambre, and between that river and
the Meese, bstween the 10th and 14th of the month, advanced on
the 15th, and attacked the Prussian posts of • Thuin and Lobez, on
the Sambre, •at day-light in the morning. I did not beer of these
events till the evening of the 15th, and I immediately ordered the
troops to prepare to march; and afterwards to march to their left.
as coon as I had iittelligence from other quarters to prove that the
tneniv's movement upon Charleroy was the real attack. The ene-
my shove the Pinssian posts from the Sambre on that day ; and
General Leiten, who commaatled the corps whirls hid been at
(Marlerov, retired upon Pleures ; and Marshal Blucher concen
trouts the Prussian array upon Sontbref. holding the villages in
front of his position of St. Amand and Ligny. The enemy eon-
t;!.inal his march along the road from Charleroy towards Bruxelles,
and on the same evening, the 15th, attacked a brigade of the army
of the Netherlands, under the Prince tie Weimar, posted at Frasnc,
and forced it i irk to the fatee house oe the same road, called Les
Quatre Bras. The Prince of Orange immediately reinforced this
brigade whit another of the sante division, under General Per-
puncher, and in the morning early regained put of the ground

upon Les Qu'atre Bra!, and the 5111 division under Lieutenant.
General Sir Thomas Picton, waived at about half-past two in
the day, follow ed by the cot ps of troops under the Duke of Bruns-
wick, and afterwards by the contingent of Nassau. At this time
Vie enemy commenced an attack upon Prince Ithicher, with hi
whole force, excepting the -tat and c2d corps ; and a corps of ca-
valry nutter General Kellerman, with which he attacked our post
at Les Quatre Bras. The Prussian army maintained their pce
sition with their usual gallantry and perseverance, against a great
disparity of numbers, as the 4th corps of their army, muter Ge-
neral Bulow, had not joined. And I was not able to assist them as I
wished, as I was attacked myself, anti the troops, the cavalry in par.
tieutar, which had a long distance to march, had not arrived. We
maintained our position also, and ecutpletely detiated and repulsed
ad the enemy's attempts to get posses•ion •it. The enemy repeat
Idly attacked us with a huge body of infantry and cavalry, support_
ed by a numerous and powerful artillery ; he made several charges
with the cavalry upon our iulantry, but all were repulsed in the
steadiest manner.--[Here his Lordship praises troops and nth
cers.)—Our loss was great, as your Lordship will perce:.c by
the enclosed return ; and I have particularly to regret his Serene
IrliJitiess the Duke of Brunswick, who tell fighting gallantly at
the head of his troops. Although Marshal !Bitches. had main-
tained his position at Samlircr,lie Still found himstif much weak-
en, by the severity of the contest in which he had been engaged.
and as the fourth corps had not arrived he detet ruined 10 NH;
back, and eancentrate his army upon Waste; and he marched
in ths eiaht after the section wee over. 'Phi, movement of the
Merslial's rendered necessary a corresponding one on my port;
• and I retired from the item of Qualm e Bras upon Gesioppe, and
thence spots 11 att., too the next morning, the 17111. at ten o'clock.
Ti:e enemy made no effort to pursue Masshill Blucher. On the
contrary, a patrale which I sent to Banana in the nimnine, found
all quirt, and the enemy's videttevisH back as the patrols advanced.

ing them with the Ist Life Guards, upon their debouelii from the
village of Genappe, upon which occasion his Lordship has declared
la m-elf to be well satisfied with that segimcnt. The positie*
which I took op in front of Waterloo, crossed the high toads froin
Chatieroy, and Nivelle, and bad its right, thrown bock to a revise
near Msake Brains., which was occupied ; and its left extended to
a height above the hamlet Ter la Haye, which was likewise occo.
pied. In front of the right centre and near the Nivelle road, we
occupied the house and garden of Hougoumotit, which covered
the retort) of that flank ; and in front of the left centre we occnpied
the farm of La Haye Sainte. By our lett we commnnicated with
Marshal Prince Blucher, at \Vavre through °beim ; end the
Marshal had promised me that in case we should be attacked be
would support me with one or more corn, as might be necessary.
The enemy, collected his at my, with the exception of the third
corps. whirl' had been sent to observe Marshal Blucher, on a range
of heights in our trout, in the course of the night of the 17th stud yes.
terday morning, and at ahont ten o'clock he commenced a furious
attack upon our post at Hongoumont. I had occupied that post
with a detachment from General Byug's brigade of Guards, whit*
was in position in its rear ; and it was for some time tinder the
command, of Lieut. Col. Macdonald, and afterwards of Colonel
Home; and I am happy to add that it was maintained throughout
the day with the utmost gallantry by these brave troops, notwi(ba
standing the repeated efforts of large bodies of the enemy to ob-
tain possession of it. This attack upon the tight of our centre was
accompanied by a very heavy catal •nade upon our whole line,
which was destined to support the repeated attacks of cavalry and
infantry occasionally mixed, but 'sometimes separate, which were
made upon it. In one of these the enemy carried the farm-horse
of La Haye Sainte, as the detachment of the light battalion of the
legion which occupied it had exp.miled all its ammunition, and
the enemy occupied the only communication there was with them.
The enemy repeatedly charged our infantry with Ins cavalry. but
these attacks were uniformly onsuccessfid, and they afforded
portunities to our cavalry to (+arse, in one of whirls Lord E. So.
merset's brigade, consisting of the life guards, royal horse guards, and
Ist dragoon guards, highly distinguished themselves as did that 'of
Major-General Sir W. Ponontry, having taken many prisoners and
an eagle. These attacks were repeated tilt about seven in the even-
ing, when the enemy made a desperate effort with the cavalry and
infintry, supported by the fire of artillery, to force our left. centre,
near the farm of La Haye Sainte, which attir a severe contest
was defeated ; and having observed that the troops tells-cif lion)
this attack iu great confusion, and that the maids of Goiters! Bu-
row's corps by Enschetmout upon Planchenoite and ,La Belk
Alli-
anee, had begun to take effect, and as I could perceive the fire
of his cannot., and as Marshal Prince film -her had joined in
person, with a corps of his army to the left of our line by Ohairo,
I determined to attack the enemy, and immediately advanced
the whole line of infantry, supported by the cavalry and artillery..
I:ie attack succeeded in every point ; the intany es as Prred

account of the fatigue of our troops, who had been s ogaged door .
