that various regiments of Bavarian cavalry, to the.

• HAGUE, JUNE 21.—The fiergud courant of -to-
day contains the news of the battle Of 'the 18th.
. .
The following are some passages of this account
The' Prussian army, which was collected at
Warre, supported the Duke of Wellington at the
proper.time, and did great injury to the enemy.
Marshal Blucher himself called out to his soldiers,
" Children, we must pursue them this night, or
else they will be teazing us again to -morrow.".

The armies were so intermingled that the Duke
of IVellington encountered Marshal Grotichy.—
The enemy, who would not believe that it was
possible to be defeated under NaPoLeon's ton-
.
mand, long' fought with the' greatest ardour. The
loss of the Allies is indeed prodigious ; and it iS
observed, that the noble Victor, though he has
n-Ot for a moment lost his wonted calmness, is
profoundly afflicted by it.
.The joy caused licre.by this news is not to be
described ; every where are seen peopl2 who wish
each other joy; the public and prii'ate buildings
arc adorned with flags, and this evening there will,
be general illumination.

BRUSSF:TA, JUNE 10.—Ituonaparte, before he
lef.t. Paris, had given or'derS to the Commaudantl
Of the .garrisons on the. frontiers from Basle to
•Dtmkirk,,to-seml_him, immediately- all the veteran
troops they had. The movements of these dif-
ferent detachments were so concerted, that they
were to mute on a certain day in three appointed
places, where -their. union formed two corps of
50,000 men each, and a reserve of 15,000 men.
To these corps were to be joined .32,000 men.
of the gaard, encamped between Loan 'and Sois-
sons, provided with an immense artillery,
was increased by that which was drawn from the
neighbouting fortresses. It was at the head of
this formidable army that-Napoleon entered our
country: Ist seems that be intended to make two
simultaneous' attacks, oue against the Prussians,
and one against the English army, whose can-
tontnents he knew to be pretty ditant from each
other, on account of the difficulty of obtaining
supylies, and he hoped to profit by this circuit',
stance to surprise the two artaics.
The 'state of disorganization in which the
French army now Seems to be,' does not allow it
to hope that it will be able to save its remaining
artillery, and still less, since by certain accounts
two columns of Russian troops, forming about
22,000 men, having passed between Sedan, ae-
zieres, and Charleroy,,are advancing by forced
marches into his rear, to cut oil his retreat. By
statements which there is reason to believe au-
thentic, the French troops Which are still on tue
frontiers, from Switzerland to Mezieres scarcely
amount to 30,000 men. The Austrian and Bava-
rian troops, ag well as the Russian and Prussian.
.Divisions, are in full march for France.
At the moment when the victory was decided
in our favour, a group of General Officers was
seen rapidly to withdraw from the French army.
it seems certain that Buonaparte was with them,
and that he has left the army. The loss of our
brace regiments is considerable. 'General- Vali
.Merli was killed by a cannon-hall. We expect a
number of details honourable to the corks or in-
dividuals. A fact, of which the annals of war
certainly affords few examples, is, that a Scotch
Battalion charged with the bayonet a regiment of
French cuirassiers, and broke it. Among the
brave men in our army who have purchased their
glory with their blood, there are known at pre.
sent, Count Duchatel of the hussars killed ; ,M-
Bryas, Aiajorof,the carabineers, who lost aeg ;
-Merex and Martens,• of the' light dragoons, se.
vetly wounded.
The corps of Lancers of the Imperial Gnard,
has been almost rleStroyed by the Scotch Dra-
goons.—Geuerals Count de Lobau and Cum-
brone, who accompanied nuooaparte to Elba,
are just-brought in prisoners.—We mention a cir-
cumstance which does honour to our country-
men. The Mayor having invited the brewers of
this city to send water to the unfortunate wbund-
ed who remained on the toad, they immediately
sent 15 waggous loaded with beer.

" FURTHER DISPATCMES.

" Sun- thz;,,,, Four o'Clork.

Dispatches have been received from the Duke
of Wt:LLINGToN ; they are dated from Bluch,
and, we believe, eontain only accounts of the further
Success of the. Allies In the Pursuit of the Enemy.
Try(' French Generals have been brought in pri-
soners—one of them the Commander of the Bth
CO

" LILLY CH E les Head-quart, rs are at 136alintont, in
France, where BUONAPARTE.3 were a few days

Ago

To this i:iteliigence which the accounts since
received confirms in every particular, we have at
present little to add. The Prussians at Beaumont
werc parallel with tlie_Enemy, snponsirm him to
be at Manbvnge, and HA their advance would of
coarse be considerably further within the French

territory than the head-quarters, it is evident
that they must be ontAauking the French
Left on the whole line of their retreat. The
mimes of the French Generals to whom We
alluded as Prisoners, are LOBAU and CAMBRONE ;
the former the Commander of the 6th Corps.—
General • MOUTON, and the infamous Parole-
breaker and Traitor, LEvnvaE Destgove-rTzs, are
also said to he ImOng the captured.

The latest private accounts wake the cumber of
cannon taken 306.

Aliniiters, with their usual promptitude, have
kit no time in communicating the late splendid
and decisive Victory over the Renagado Corsican
to the loyal and patriotic inhabitants of La Vend6e,
Boardeaux, &c. Several thousands.of the Extra-
ordinary Gazelle have been translated into French,
and have, we understand, been sent for distri-
bution in those districts where the spirit of at-
tachment to the Legitimate Monarchy of France
ati?l exists. The benefit that will result to the
gaud cause from. this_ measure cannot fail of
being extensive, and will enable those hearts
glowing %rid) fidelity to their King, to strain
every nerve in,crushing the upstart desperado.

After the battle of the 16th, the French, with
their usual insolence and barbarity, cut Off the
ears of a number of Prussian Soldiers, and sent
them in this mutilated state to Prince BLUCHER'S
bead-quarters. It is to be hoped that the pur-
uing Prussian Army will take most ample ven-
geance on those inhuman scoundrels—Oh, foi 50
or 60 puiks of Cossacks iu the very-heart of
France

The followini' Anecdote, upon which our Rea-
Aug may will slew to what attifices But,-
NApAsTe is driven, in order to strengtheri that Army
,hick was to render him vietorions over the Com-
bined Powers of Europe. A vessel n.oln Boulogne,

rwhich arrived on Thursday last oh the "Coast of
Sussex, brings an account that an epress had fir-
ri%ed at that plate; Aethanding, in the naive of the
Rebel Leader-, that All the men who could be
spared should be immediately forwarded to th'e
Army, with a precise notification that " these men
wvre not wanted for field service, but only to guard
the Prisoners, the number of Whom was so immense
that he could not Spare Soldiers to secure them."
A few of the Gazettes Extraordinary, of which
a sufficient number are in the hands of the French
all along the Coast, will dissipate this illusion,
and probably prevent the march of the Boulog-
nese, who may not think their services as guards
for prisoners so likely to be wanted after the 18th.

The Horse which the PR:NCE REGENT presented
to Marshal BLUCHER, and on which the gallant
Veteran placed so highs a value, was killed under
him during the late •battle ; and he swears he wilt
nester furgii•e ESUONAPARTE for • the loss- Of that
Horse. 8o ardent was this. table Warrior to get,
up to the field of battle, that• he was absolutely
rode over by his own Cavalry while exciting them
to the utmost speed. ; .

Our Parliamentary Report presents a discussion,
if it may be so called, of uncommon iater6t. The
Speeches of Lord BATHURST and Lord CASTLE-:
REAGH will be perused
.with feelings of, the
deepest emotion. The Miogled- sensationg.which
arise from pride in Our national glory, and from
commisseration in individual distiess, are, altoge-
ther too painfully gratifying to be indulged- in—
at least till Time has dispensed his balm to the
afflicted mourners.
The country cannot do too much-for its WEL.:
LINGTON and his associate heroes—it cannot too
bitterly deplore those who have died the death of
the brave.

. For the proceedings of-rite Legislature we beg
.to refer to our second page, aid shall only select
from the Speech of Lord. BATUURST an Extract
of a Letter from, our Coihmander to the Earl of
ABERDEEN, wtiose Brother, Sir A. GORDON, is
atupng the slain.: it places him in a point of view
so ho»ourahlc to homanity,; as almost to eclipse
the lustre of his victorious exploits :.--

I eannet express, in adequate terms, the grief ,which I
feel in contemplating the loss. w•e.hare sustained in the death
of so-many valued, friends. The glory of,such actions is ❑o
consolation to nie ; and I. cannot suggest it as a consolation to
you• Nit a result so decisive will, in all probability, be fol-
lowed by tlie earl", attainment of the just object of our.wisbes
and exertions, and this May afford some consolation.. far our
loss."

streets were brilliantly iliuminated 18,st night. We
