JUNE 25.

Brussels Papers arrived on Friday, bringing. further in-
tere,ting particulars of the late battle. It appears from them
thai the defeat of the enemy has been more complete than
the Doke of Wellington has repreamted it. Nearly three
hundred pieces of cannon have been captured. The less of
the enemy in mottriel has been. as great as in the retreat from
Busch; whole corps threw away their arms in order to faci-
litate their flight. The military chest ; bales of revolutionary
preelatratir ns, dived from the palace of Lacken, near Brus-
sels; carriages, valuables of every description, were con•
staetly falling into the hands of the victors; numerous ca-
valry continued to pursue the fugitives, who had already re-
crossed the Sambre, and were ftying, in indescribable con•
fo,ien, towards their own frontiers The Duke of Wellington,
to whese personal exec tions, as well as to his incomparable
skill, the victory of the 18th is chiefly atttibuted, arrived
on Monday at Brussels, on a visit to the wounded. A first
column of 2500 prisoners arrived at Brussels on Monday.
General Compans, of the Guards, is among them. Sixteen
regiments of cavalry are said to continue in pursuit of the
fugitives. One of the Bressells Papers winds up The business
in these words :—There are 40,000 'hors de combat on both
sides; 250 pieces of cannon, and 12,000 or 14,000 prisoners
taken from the enemy—the whole of Buonaparte's Guard
destroyer!—Vandamme hors de. combat—one of Buonaparte's
brothers killed—in short, we are all besides ourselves with
joy ! The brave Bulow has made a dreadful carnage with
12,000 choice cavalry. God be praised ! Buonaparte had
promised his troops three hours pillage at Brussels.—The
Pm bsians are said to 'nave already passed the Sambre, and
entered Charlet or. •

An Austrian army of 135.000 wen is said to have entered
France on the side of Switzerland. There is no adequate
force to oppose them.

The parade in St. James's Park on Thursday morning
was uncommonly numerous and splendid. The household
hiig,ades, consisting of the life-guards and Oxford blues, and
the foot-guards, were drawn up at half past nine o'clock, and
occupied the space from Carlton Douse to the Bird-cage-
walk. At ten the guns fired a double salute, in celebration
of the elorious victory achieved by the Duke of Wellington
over Bunnapartel after which, the cavalry flourishing their
sword,. the infantry waving their caps with sprigs of oak in
them, gave trate hearty cheers, in which the military were
joined by the acclamations or an immense concourse of
