MILITARY LING for the late VICTORY

~ The Parade of St. James's Park yesterday
morning was uncommonly numerous and splen-
did.. =The Household Brigades, consistiug of the
Life,. Guarda an& Oxford Blues, and the Foot
Guards, Aa ere drawn up ax half past nine o'clock,
and occupied I.ac space from Carlton House to the
Bird.cake-walk. At ten the guns fixed a double
salute, in celebration of the Glorious Victory
achieved by the Dad e Of WELLINGTOI4 over BOO-
NArkraR ; aft:fr said,. the cavalry flourishing
their swords, the infantry wavia..l their cars with,
sprigs of oak in them, gave three hearty cheers,
in which the military were joined by the accla-
mations of an immense concourse of people, who
had assembled at an early hour from all paits of
the Metropolis. The cavalry then went through
various evolutions with incredible celerity, and
the Bands continued playing national airs, flou.
rishes of trumpets, &c. at intervals, for three
quarters of-an hour.
At eleven a general movement of the troops
took piece : the Foot Guards, who occupied the
centre, advanced to the rails of the Park, formFg
double lines, three deep, the Life Guards on toe
right, and.the Blues on the left. The Duke of
YORK on foot, and surrounded by an immeuse
crowd, who bad accompanied him from York
House, appeared in front of the line, and was
received.hy the military with the usual honours,
and by the company with loud and reiterated ac-
clamation.

A fen-de-joie was now fired from the extreme
right of the line to the left, the effect of which was
greatly enhanced by the cavalry discharging their
carbines. The foot-guards- then fell bark to their
usual position ; the cavalry closed from right and.
left. The Duke of Yoax, accompanied by a nuns.
ber of Field Officers, read The London Gazette,
containing the glorious news from the theatre of.
the war ; at the conclusion of which the military
and the spectators united in three more loud cheers;
alter which the military filed off, some to their
quarters, and others to relieve the different guards.
A rumour prevailed on the parade, that the
eagles which had been taken would be exhibited
as proud trophies of the victory ; but this exhi-
bition is postponed till. the solemn ceremonial o'
depositing them in Whitehall Chapel shall take
place ; when, we doubt not, many others will be
added to the number.

The captive eagles are now at Carlton-house;
they are quite new, and are two of those that were
presented by BUONAPARTE to his household troops
at the memorable assembly of the Champ de Mai.
aml have under them a magnificently embroidered.
colour, about the size of the standard used by the
cavalry.

Owing to the miserable state of the roads, it
was not till a late hour that the Prussian Corps,
which had promised to support our's, were en•
shied to come up. ; but when they did, their pre-
sence was most highly serviceable. had not Ge-
neral BuLoyv so judiciously:placed himself on the
tummy's flank, the Duke of WELLINGTON would
probably nut have risked that tvell-timed attack
which decided the fate of the day. On all sides was
seen a total disregrtrd of perlcpal
leaders were mingled in the heat of the fray like the
meanest soldier. The Duke of \VELLINGTON was itt
close conversation with Lord UXBItIDGE xviien
latter received the ball in his•kuee. His Lord-
ship ha'. been throughout the day foremost itt
danger and glory. Marshal lit.ocnEe, it is said,
was- for some moments a prisoner. As to Buox,s-
PARTE, he was more than one inclosed among the
British troops, and disentangled, as were by
miracle. lie led on the guard himself to the
charge, and seemed to feel- that there could be no
hope for his power, but in the absolute jeopardy
of his life. _ _

At the close of the pursuit of the enemy is the,
great battle, the Duke. of \Vi LLI NGTON, finding
tl►e troops so exhausted as to be unable to pro—
ceed, recommended it to them to give the flying
enemy three British cheers before halting.
The account of the great victory arrived on the
anniversary of another victory gained by the same
immortal Hero—the battle of Vittoria.
The first battalion of Giiards were ordered off
