E FIELD OF wATEiILoo.

The foifolving is 'an uxtratt trout the letter
from one of our priVaic Gnresplitilettts, tlatel
Brussels, 1911; Aug. which *gives an account of a
visit to cite scrnti of this glorious victory

" Two days ago I to see 'the Field of
Battle. At the village of Mont St..Jeau are the
first traces of the havoc of this dreadful day. In
the garthgn behind the inn of the Village are two
large graves, containing the remains of those who
fell 'near the spot ;—the frightful appearance of
several limbs, uncovered with earth, bearS wk-
Hess to the haste with which the, la.st rites
had been performed. From the village - I
took the road to Nivelles, towards the farm
Hongouniont, and as 1 approached it, the graves
were more numerous, wh.le tbe—grotiitil was in
every direction torn tip by shells and cannon balls;
The farm-house is a complete picture of deSola-
(ion. The office-houses, &c. formed 'pretty
large square, but they w 4 re burnt down by the
French; while the British troops were in, and
unable to prevent them for Want of ammunition.
There is scarcely a square yard of the wall
through which a cannon-ball has not 'passed.=
Immediately behind the hoirse is a wood, con,-
taming about 1500 or 1600 trees, of which I be-
lieve thine is not one that has not been pierced by
eight or ten balls. Here there is a hirge grave,
.on a spot where 500 or GOO British and Ft ench had
been "burnt. From this, I went to the cottage
called La Belk 41liance, at which the two heroes
of Waterloo accidentally met after gaining the
battle. This cottage had been dreadfully battered,
but it is now inliaisited, and called the " Woiling-
ton HAtel." I returned again to Mont St. Jean,
and saw La hraye Suinte, another house which suf-
fered Very much. On the height above this house
is the place where the Duke of IVellington threw
himself into the square of British troops, and if
one may judge from the number of graves, the
carnage
,must have been dreadful. Many of toe
hefts which were the scene of action, are now
ploughed up. la the church of WatLrloo, there
is a marble momunoit put up to commemorate
the Officers of the Ist Guards, who fell on that

glorious day.

" The wounded here are doing very well : the
attention which
,has been paid to thine by the
inhabitatts of Brussels could not po,Sibly have
been exceeded by the in6nberS. of their own
tatnilie6.

" There was lately illuch rain licre, but the

fiarvest is now getting on -we11•-7—Trtiit is plenti-
ful and cheap "

The Morniwz Paper ,‘ hi, h first patriotically
proinulgated FouettEN Report, asserts its au-
thenticity, or, at least, that it. was circulated in
Paris 1 The following is the account it gives of
this monstrous dormucrit . .

Copies of it have been so multiplied that even
persons frequenting the cotfee-louses the Palais
Royal have come to the knowledge of the fact
One of our correspondents states to us the inalther
in which it ermine to ne so freely circulated. A ru-
mour having spread in the Ministerial circles of
Patis that such a Report had been presented to
the KING. the Eniperor ALFAANDEN applied to
TALLEYR AND for a ropv of it, wilt said, that with 7
out t,king his MAJESTY'S 111Cilitae, he could not
deliver it. But he received t-e, King's order to
present a copy of it to the EMPEROR."

Saturday night's Gazette contains a notice, that
Lord BATutfasT has officially notified to the Fo-
reign Ministers resident in this country, the de-
termination, made in conjunction with the Allies,
to send " General NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE" to
-St. ITelena, under regulations for his personal se-
curity ; and that all foreign vessels are . excluded
from approach to that island, so long as
PARTE'resides there. The Gazette also contains
and Order in-Council subjecting the imports and
exports to and from the American States to the-
same duties, and allowing the oaine bounties, %die-
titer in British or American vessels. This Order is
to continue in force until six weeks after the next
meeting of Parliament.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
of CUMBERLAND, aye expected to arrive in town
to-day front the continent. ,
Lord licaEsFoan sailed front Lisbon for Rio de
ittbeiro, on the 10th instant, on board the Por-
tuguese ship Fama, Captain 111AzzA. It is said
that his'Lordship's mission has for its object the
arrangement of certain differences existing be-
ween the Portuguese Government and the
PRINCE REGENT of the BRAZILS; and great hones'
are entertained of the affair being brought to a sa-
tisfactory issue by his Lordship's mediation.
An awkward attempt is made in .the French Pa
pet's to screen the Portugueseadininistration from
the contempt
and indignation of all Borope.—
It is pretended that they bad not authority to,
send their Contingent of hoops to the com-
mon cause. They were to wait fire or six
months for orders froin-Brrizil : and in the
Meanwhile BUONAPARTE'S atrocious .rebellion
might have attained full success. A 'Minister who
can thus-shrink from responsibility in a moment
of such peril to lie civilised world, is in truth the
Ivorsl and most despicable of traitori. We hope
the PO NCR ItKoetsT of Portugal will vindicate
hi, own honour in this pusillanimous affair:
Laird CAW.ERENG4I, We 1111(it•I'St1111(1, is expect-
ed to return front Paris in about ten days ; but his
stay inl:il;asititl Will probably he short. his
Lordship, it is supposed, emues to be presetit
at
the final consideration of the Tr 4.10 of reuce:by
the Cabinet.
