TIT FJNATION,

ossaw~
It was found that our light horse made no impression on'
ate cuirassiers, and therefore great efforts are to be made to
send net heavy horse. A further draft was made oil Friday
from the Life Cuard;
Ina dispatch to the French Embassy it is said, that "the
-Prussian army entered Future on the 20th, and that the Duke
of Wellington would enter it on the 21st--that this march,
eupported by the main body of cavalry, has for its object to
prevent Bnonapatte (ram establishing a line under the pro-
tection of the. Dill of Laon, called Le Pain Sucre de Loon,
which he had fortified with a large quantity of cannon." The
same dispatch Ads, 6' that there is a great fermentation in
pcardy against Buonaparte." (Courier.)
The Hake of Wellington's whole f rcc of British, Bel-
gians, Hanoverian% Brunswickers, &c. is said to have
amounted 'o 64,000 men, and his total loss is upwards of
10,000. This is to be accounted for by the immense army of
'the French, probably not less than iso,noo men. Of their
loss we have not had any probable account. The Prussians
estimate their loss, up to the 16th inclusive, at 16,000.—
(Morning Chronicle.)
The Cour;cr of last nicht says that a firing has been heard
ann The French coast, but adds : it was the firing of our own
ships, which so etched over to the coast to fire a royal salute
in honour of this great victory.
Extract from a letter. dated Ostend, the list instant.—
" Accounts just received here state, that in the great battle
of the i tith, Murat was killed by his brother in-law Jerome
Buoraparte, whether by accident or intentionally, is not men-
tioned, and that Buonaparte himself was wounded." It is
unfortunate for the writer that Murat was not in the battle.
Every hour new accounts of the killed and, wounded are
'brought in, and the numl:er swells to an unprecedented
amount. It is beFeved that no fewer than 400 nfficers were
!killed and wounded in this dreadful conflict. We have re-
ceived the names of many, but for fear of mistakes, that
might give distress to families, we suppress the enumeration
till the official report shall arrive—( iforning Chronicle.)
In the battle of the 16th it is said that in fighting the
Missians, the French acted uoon the principle of neither
giving nor reeeivirg quarter. Tlie lit and 5d French corps
accordingly hoisted the black flag. The Prussian loss, in all
the affairs n getber, is calculated at near 20,000 men.
The Horse which the ince Regent presented to Marshal
slucher and en which the gallant Veteran placed so high a
value, was kiilt d under him during the late battle ; anti he
swearshe will never forgive Buonapatte for the loss of that
Morse. Su wit-tit was this noble Warrior to get up to the
,field of battle, that lie was absolutely rode over by his own
Cavalry while exciting them to the utmost speed.
A Gerttli man who canoe to town with Major Percy, say s,
-be was ti%e boars on the field of battle at Waterloo, and the
C)fßcers declared they never witnessed so dreadful a scene of
,carnage----the Prus•iatis north, neither give nor take quarter..
o immense number of inhabitants from Brussels and neigh-,
'bout hood were so anNious to see the battle, that at last they'
-
:got intermixed with the soldiery, and materially assisted in
lege% irp.4 the ut f ntonate wounded men. The whole of the,
people in Bru'se!s had voluntarily quitted their houses, to
:eceivc the wounded.
Thcre does not appear in the Extraorditrry Cavlte any!
.aceollnt of the. loss sus.ained by Sir Thomas Picton's division
on the 15 h, except Lieut.-rant Colonel Macara of the aid,
and throe of the 05th, though it is known that no fewer
than 13 ffi ens t f the 42d were either killed or wounded.
The account of the great victory arrived oa the anniversa-
ry of anoti-er victory gained by the tame immortal Hero--
tire 'battle of Vitttnia.
