P.ONTAINI3LEAU, APRIL 21.--Buonaparte set
out from this town yesterday, at eleven in the
forenoon (and not on the 19th, as stated iti one
of our Journals), followed by fourteen carriages.
His escort required .ixty post-harses. The four.
Commissioners of the Allied POlVerS who 4ccall -
patty him are M. SauwAt.o, the Prussian Ge-
neral Kolhere, an English General, and another
General,, supposed to'be an Austrian. Four Of-
ficers of his household, among others his baker,.
form part of his retinue. Very tew military
men are ,gone with hint, and—they intend, as it
is reported, to leave him at the place of embark--
ation.
'
At the moment of his departure, he addressed
the Officers and Subalterns of the old gnard, who
were still about his person, nearly, in these,
words •

I: " I bid. you farewel. For these 20 years--
t (how few, soldiers are there left that served 20
s.ye:irs ago ?)---;hat ve have been together, I - have
been satisfied with you. I have always found you
I etn the road to glory. All.the Powers of Europe
have utketi up arms agailist me : part of my Gene-
rals have betrayal their duty, and France herself.
has betrayed hers—(or, in other. Words, has a.ban-
cloned the Usurper to return to he; legitimate
Sovereign what atrocious kreason !) •
• " With 'you, and the brave men who.remained
faithful to me, I nave for thee,years.preserved
France from civil war—(by causing even the wo-
men, who did not like 'to be starved, to be shot
at Caen, and other places.)
" Be faithful to the flaw 4ing whom France
Las chosen, and forsake not your dear country, '
which has been too, long untortunate.—(A truth
which nobody disputes.)
" Lament not uty fate : I shall be happy when
I know that you are so.
" I could have been satisfied to die :, nothing
would have been more easy for me ; but 1 wish
still to pursue the road to k;lory. I will write the
history.of our achievements.
" I cannot .embrace you all, but I will embrace.
your General. Come, General.—(fie embracetj
himi)

" Bring me the Eagle ; let mc embrace him
too.—(Ile embraces the eagle.)—,Ah 1 dear ;!;agle,
may thetisses which 1 give t:;ee resound in the
ears of posterityl.---Farevvel, my !wk.! Parewel,
my heroes !—Come around in! once more !" •

The Staff, accompanied by the four Commis-
sio►iers of the Allied Powers then formed a circle
round

Boonaparte afterwards got into his carriage.—
At this, moment he tva:3 unable to repress his
emotion,, and shed,,some tears,. At the. moment-
of his departure he asked for Constant, his first
yaletdc=chainbre,,but •iic had id 'himself, probably
that he might not accOmpany BuonapartL, though
he had the preceding day received a gratuity of
50,001) francs.
The sane dAy,,,at ten o'clock at. night, the
Queen of Westphalia arrived 'at Fontainbiesu ;
but all Or post-horses being eaged in the ser-
vice.of Buonaparte, she could nut procure ,any
till three in the morning. She proceeds for
Auxert.
•

PARIS, Ai' L 22.—Buonaparte has demanded
200 pieces of canuon to fortifykis-islaml, and au
English frigate Cn protect- him from corsairs. This.
demand was _refused. He superintended himself
thtil packing up of his effects, and applied 191-.160
carriages to convey them. He has lately been
reading Robinson Crusoe:
Pmus, 22.--Buonaparte, who has so
often deceived France, has deceived it. even re-
specting the time of his departure. We are at
lengih assured, that he has taken leave of Fon-
tainbleau, and has set out for the place of his
exile. The dream of. his greatness is over ; ht is
about to awake on.the Island of Elba. Six months
ago he negociated to retain the hanks of the
Elbe; threeailontlis.since he was in treaty for the
'banks of the Rhine ; in the first days of March he
was not satisfied with ancient France. Now that
all his pretensions are at an end, he still nego-
ciates for a few articles ot furniture, afew books,
and a few bottles of wine. It was thought for
some time that he wasjit for a hero of tra;,:;edy.;'
he isyow nothing but a hero of melo-drame; he ,
proun,;e.:l to give us the standard of the great men
of our age; he has begim by giving us his own.
It has been announced that Joseph and Jerome
Bonaparte had placed themselves at the head of
some deserters, and were pillaging-Ahe villages.—
We are this day asstn:ed tkat their little troop has
been entirely dispersed; and rendered incapable of
-doing any further mischief.

WAR DEPARTMENT.
. bowning-sheet,prig- 26, 1814.
Major Lord Willia kußsell arrived last night
at this (Mee, Winging a Dispatch from the Mar-
quess of WEJ.LINoTmsr to Earl BATHUasT., of
which the following is a copy :—•
Toulouse, April 18,1814.
Mt- Loup--I have the pleasure to intoriu your
Lordship that I entered this town this morn-

ing, which tht enemy evacuated during the night,
retiring by the road of parcssone.
The continued fall of rain, and the state of the
roads, prevented me front laying the bridge till
the •morning of
,the Bth, when the Spanish corps,
and the Portuguese artillery, under the immediate'
orders of Lientenant-Gelteralpi.nr Manuel I,i'reyre,
and the head-quarters,, crossed the Garonne.
We immediately moved forward to the neigh-
bourhood of the town, and the 18th hussars, un
.der the immediate command of Colonel, Vivian,,
• had an opportunity, of makfirg a most gallant at-
tack upon a superior body of the enemy's ca-
valry, Avhich th42.y drove through the village...of
Croix d Orade, and took about one hundred pri-
soners, and gave us poss'ession of an - important
bridge over the river Ers, by which it was neces-
sary to pass-, in order to attack the enemy's po-
sition. Colonel Vivi4u was unfortunately wound-
ed upon this occasion, and I am afraid that I shall
lose the benefit of his assistance for some time.
The town of tioulouse is surroondeti on tbrze •
sides by the 'canal of Languedoc and the Ca-
On the left of that river, the suburb

r.onne.

which the eileiny had fortified with strong field
works in front of .the wait; formed b. good
Vlte-de-pont.

,
They had likewise formed a tC.!te-de-pont at each
'bridge of the canal, whicli.was besides defended by
the fire in some places of mustptetry, and in all of
artillery, front the 'ancient wall of the town. Be-
yotid the canal, to the eastward, and between that
and the river Ers, is a height, 'which extends as
far as Montandran, and over which pass 1,,111 the
roads to the canal. and town front the eastward,
which it.defends 3 4tid .the enemy, in addition to
the tote-de-poet 64 the bridges of the canal, had
lOrtified the height with five redomhts, connected
by lineS of -intrenchments, and !,tad with extra-
ordinary diligence made every preparation for d 6.
•fence. They had likewise broken all the bridges
over the Ers within our reach, by which the right
of their position could be approached. The roads,
however, from the Ariege to Toulouse being i
pnwricAble for- e;tvaLry or artillery, amt neAtlyso
for infantry, as reported to you• Loillship in my
dispatch of the Ist instant, I had no alternative,'
excepting to attack We enemy in this formidable
position.

It was necessary to move the Pontoon Bridge
higher up the„Garon.i.c, in order to shollen the
communication with Lieutemmt-General Sir Row-
land Hill's corps, as soon as, the Spanish carps.
bad paslsed; and this operation•was -not effected
till so late an'hour on the 9th, as to induce use to
defer the attack tiW the following morning.
The plan according to which I def.e'rniined to
attack the enemy, was for IMarshabSir W. Beres-
ford, who, was on the right of the Ers with the
and Gth divisions, to cross that river at the
bridge of -Croii d'Orade; to gaits possession of
Monthlanc, and to march up the left of the Ers
to tern the enemy's right, while Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Don Manuel Freyre, with the Spanish corps
under his command, supported by the British Ca-
val6r, should attack ihd front. Lientnant-Gen.
Sir S. Cotton was to follow the Marshal's move-
ment, with Major-General LOrd E. Somerset's
brigade of hussars ; :end Col. Vivian's brigade,
under the command of ,Colonel Arentschild, was
to observe the movement of the enemy's cavalry
on both hanks of the F,s beyond nett left;

The 3d and light divisions, under the command
of Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Pkton and
Major-General Charles Baron, Alten, and the bri-
gade of Gertnan cavalry, wero to observe the
enemy on the lower part of the canal, and to draw
their attention to that quarter by threatening the
tote-de-pont, While Lieutenant-General Sir Row-
land Hill was to' do the same. on .the suburb on
the left of the Garonne'.

Marshal Sir. William Beresford crossed the Ers,
and formed his corps in three columns of lines in
the village of CroiN d'Orade, the 4th division
leading; with Which he immediately carried Mont-
Wane. He then moved up the Ers in the same
order, over the most difficult ground, in a di-
rection parallel to the enemy's fm•tilid position ;
and assoon- as he reached the point at which lie
turned it, he formed his 'lines, and moved to the
attack. During these operations Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Don. Manuel Freyre moved along the left of
thei;;rs, to the front of Croix. d'Orade, where he
formed his corps in two lines, with a resert'e on a
height in front of the left of the enemy's position,

on which height the Portuguese 'artillery Wa3
placed ; and Major-General fonsonby's
' of-cavalry in reserve in th, rear.
As soon ,as formed, and that it was seen that
Marshal Sir 'William Bereford was leadv, Lieute7
.
nant-General DOn Manuel Freyre Moved forward
. -
to the attack. • The troops marched- in good order
under a very heavy fire of musquetray and artillery,
and shelled great spirit, the General and all las,
Staff being at their head ; and the two lines Were
soon lodged under some bankS%iramediately under
the enemy's entrenchments; the keserve and Por-
tuguese artillery, ands; iitish cavalry, continuing
on the heights on `which the • troops: hal first
101.6'1141: The enel47,, however„ repulsed Elie move-
ment of the right of General _Freyre's line Tonna
their left.fiank, and having followed up their suc-
cess, and turned our right by both sides of the
highroad leading from Toulouse to CrOix d'Orade,
. they soon compelled the whole corps to retire.
It gave me great satisfaction to see, that, al-
though they suffered considerably in retiring, the
troopS rallied again as soon as the light divi;ion,
which was immediately on their right,' moved up;
and I cannot sufficiently applandthe exertions of
Lieutenant-General Don Manuel Freyre, the Offi-
cers of the Staff of the 4th Spanish Army;-and ;)f
the Officers of the General Staff, to rally and forM
them again.
Lieutenant-General Menclizabel, who was in
the field as a volunteer, General Espeletta, and
several Officers of the Staff, and Chiefs 'of corps,.
were wounded upon this occasion; but General
Mendizabel continued in the field. The regiment
de Tired. 'de Cantahria, under the command of
Colonel Sicilio, kept its position, under the ane-;
my's entrenchments, until I ordered them -to
retire:

In tire mean time, Marslial Sir William Beresl.-
ford, with the 4th division, -under the comrnind
of Lieutenant-General Sir Lowry Cole, and the
6th division, under the 'Outman(' of Lieutenant-
General Sir Henry Clinton, attacked, and carried
the heights on the enemy's right, and the redoubt
which covered and protected that flank ; and he-
lodged those troops on the same heights with the
enemy, who were, however, still in possession of
four redoubts, and of the entrencbments,and.for-

.tified house's. - - • - • •
The badness of the roads had induced the Mar-
shal to leaVe his artillery in the- village of Mont-
blanc ; and some time elapSed before it could-be
brought to him, and before Lieutenant-General

Don Manuel Freyre's cops cOuld he re-formed and
brought babk to-'the attack :as soon as this was
effected, the Marhal continued his - movement
along the ridge; and carried, With Gen. Pack's bri-
gade °rale 6th division, the two principal-redoubts
and. fortified houses
,in the enemy's centre. The
enemy made a desperate effort from the canal to
regain these redoubts, but they were repulsed-with
considerable loss; and the Gth division continuing
its rnOvemeut -along the ridge of the 'height, anti
the Spanish troops continuing a corresponding
moVerneut upon the, front, the enemy were driven
from the two redoubts and intrenchments on the
left, and the whole range of heights were in our
possession. We did- not gain this advantage, how--•
ever, without severe loss, particularly in the brave
Pith division. Lieut.-Coloael,Coghlan of the filst,
an officer of great merit and promise, was unfor-
tunately killed in the attack of the heights. Ma-
jor-General Pack was wounded, but was enabled
to remain in the field; and Colonel Douglas, of
the Bth Portuguese regiment, 'lost his leg ; and I
am afraid I shall be deprived for a .considerable
time of his.assistance.

The 36th, 42d, 79th, and Gist regime.nts lost
considerable
.numbers, and were highly tlistir
guished throughout the day.

',cannot sufficiently applaud the ability and con-
duct of Nfarshal Sir William Beresford throughout
the operations of the ;lay nor that of Lieute-
nant-Generals Sir Lowry Cole, Sir Henry Clin-
ton ; Major-Generals Pack and Lambert, and the,
troops under their command. , Marshal Sir WU-
• liana Beresford partictilarly reports the good.con-
duct of Brigadier-General Esl.l.rhan,, the Quarter-
Master-General ; and Geuertal Brito Mozino, the
Adjutant-Gener'al of the Portuguese army.
The 4th division, although exposed on-their
march along the enemy's front in a galling fire.,
were not so much engaged as-the 6th division.,
and did not suffer so much ; but they conducted
themselves with their usual gallantry.
• I had-also every reason to-be satisfied v,ith the
conduct- of .Lieutenant-Gcneral Don %:,lanuel
Freyre, Lieutenant-General Don Gabriel Mewii,
zabei, Mariscal de Campo Don Pedro de,la'l3ar7
cena, Brigadier-General Don J. de Es_pellata, Ma-
riscal de Campo Don A. Garces de
the Chief, of the Staff Don E. S. Salvador, aiid
the Officers of the Staff of the fourth army.—‘The'
Officers and troops conducted themselves well in
411 the attack's which they made subsequent to
their being re-formed.
The ground, not having admitted of the opera-

ions of the cavalry, they had no oprortualty. of

c ging.

While the operations above detoiled were going
forward on the left of the army, Lieutenant-Ge-
al-Sir Rowland Hill drove the enemy froni their
exterior works in the suburb, on the lett,of the
Garonne, 'within the ancient wall: Lieutenant;
General Sir Thomas Picton likewise with the 3d
di_Vision drove the enemy within the tote-de-pont
no the-bridgeof the canal nearest to the Garonne,
but the troops having made an effort to carry it,
thj-‘vere repulsed, and some loss was sustained.
Atijor-General Brisbane was wounded ; btit I hope
not so as to deprive me for any length of time of
his assistance, and Lieutenant-Colonel Forbes,
of the 45th, an officer of great merit, was killed.
The army being thus established on three sides
of Toulouse, I immediately detached our light ca—
valry to cut off the communication by-the only
road practicable for carriages which remained to
the enemy, till I should lie enabled to make ar-
rangementi to establish the troops between the
canal and the Garonne.
The enemy, however, retired last night, leaving
in our hands General d'Harispe, General Burrot,
General St. Hilaire, and sixteen hundred prisoners.
One piece of cannon was taken on the field of
battle ; and others, and large quantities of stores
of all descriptions, in the town. '
Since I sent my last report, I have received an
account from Rear-Admiral Penrose, of- the suc-
cesses in the Gironde of the boats of the squadron
under his command.

Lientenant-General the Earl of Dalhousie cross-
ed the Garonne nearly about the time that Admiral
'Penrose entered the river,,and pushed the enemy's
parties under General L'Huillierleyond the Dor.
dagne. He then crossed the Dordogne on the 4th
near St. Andre de Cubzac, with a detachment of
the troops tinder his command, %kith a view to the
attack of the Fort of Blayc. His Lordship found
General L'Huillier and General Des Barreaux
posted near Etauliers, and mad; his disposition to
attack them, when they retired, leaving about 300
prisoners in his hands. I inclose the Earl of Dal-
housie's report of this affair.
, In the operation which I have now reported,
have had every reason to be satisfied with the, as-
sistance I received from the Quarter-Master and
Adjutant-General, and the officers of their depart-
ments respectively ; from Maresca' de Campo Don
Louis Witnpfen, and the officers of the' Spanish
staff, and from Major-General Alava, from Co-
lonel Dickson, commanding the allied artillery,
from Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Fitzroy Somerset,
and the officers of my personal staff.
I send this dispatch
.by my Aid-de-Camp, Ma-
jor Lord %V. Russell, whom I beg leave to recom-
mend to. your Lordship's protection.
•I have the honour to be, &c. ,

I inclose a return of the killed and wounded in
the-late operations. •

On the Heights near Blaye) Gth April, 18/4.

My LOAD—On the 4th I,crossed the Dordogne
at St. Andre de Cubsac, and advanced the next
morning with the troops I stated in my last let-
ter to your Lordship, my second brigade, my
Cacadors, and the 7th Portngtnise-regiment, four
.guns, and one squadron of the 12th Light pra-
goons.-1 learned that General L'Huillier and Des
Barreaux, with 300 ' cavalry and 1200 infantry,
had retired by Etauliers. I therefore' moved on
that point, intending to turn back again on Blaye,
if I found these officers had continued their retreat
on• Saintes.. General commanding,
thought prOper to remain at Etauliers, and drew
out his corps on a large open common near that,
occupying some woods in front of it.
The flank companies of theGth and BrunsWickers
soon cleared those woods, and Major Jeukinson's
guns had a fair field for his practice. The infantry
and cavalry gave way, and retired through Etan-
liers, leaving scattered parties to shift for them-
selves. One of these, about eighty trio, was gal-
lantly- charged by the weak squadron of the 12th
drAgoons, under Major Bridger, and taken pri-
soners.

In all, we took about thirty Officers, and two
hundred and fifty or three hundred men. Great
numbers dispersed in the woods, and, in a short
time, ii. is ,thought the whole of their infantry
conseriptsiwill leave them
I have the honour to be, &c.
My loss yesterday was very trifling.
