The infamous conduct of the French, in the treatment of
their prisoner., is most disgraceful to the military character
ref that nation. In the action of the 18th, Ensign Graham,
of the 73d regiment, being stunned and knocked down in

they embarked for England ? Ile then ordered Graham to

left almost naked, and compelled to carry some pioneers'
took. Ile contrived, however, in the course of the night to
make his cs?ape to the Prussia' army, and he is now at
Brussels.

Wrdnesday, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent held a
Con! tat Carlton House. Soon af'er two o'clock the Rvgent

nisters. At the 6:eaking up of the Council, Dr. Hunting.
ford, the late Bishop of Gloucester, was introduced, and did
homage before his Royal Highness, upon his being trans-
lated to the Bishopric of Hereford. The Corporation of the
City of London arrived in grand and numerous procession,
to present an address of Congratulation to the Pi ince Regent,
on the late signal victory at Waterloo.—The following was
the answer returned by his Royal Highness:—
" I receive with the gtealest satisfaction thi4 loyal dutiful ad-

by the undaunted valour and constuninaty di•eipline of our troops, •
and the transcend:int genius and heroic example of the great Conl-

the most important securities for the Wore tranquillity and rude.

who have fallen, it must lie a soothing reflection that they have pe-
tidied in a just and noble caw, and that the memory of their
splendid and inestimable services will be cherished with admiration
and gratitude to the latest posterity. I have a pet lect reliance isit
the steeliest loyalty and public spii it of the citizens of Lotultm, and
on your assurances of support in :mcli exertions as may be nrcessary
