charni. Colburn, Conduit street, pp. 51. pr. ^S.OJ,

Of this very interesting Pamphlet, which has
just appeared, we could scarcely sap any thing
more cOnimentlatOrY than that after all the . . .
ac-
counts which we have perused of the events on
which it treats, and partiCularly of theinemorable
. ,
Battle of Waterloo, it is so lucid and vigorous int
its descriptions, and places every feedlot circum-
stance in- so 'clear .a paint of view; that we lace
read it With uneommen pleasure, and have been.
Mitch informed by the prominent manner in which
it has set ftiftli the subject. It is a eoncise and
rapid 'sketch, but, nevertheless, posiesses accu-
racy and fullness enough to entitle it to general
faVout, and is remarkable for the greatest merit.
Which, productions of this kind can have—im-
partiality.
After tatiing a glance at the landing of BUONA•
PAlti'a at Cannes, on the Ist of March, his march
to Feria, and the fliirht of the :King, the Author,
in as summary a manner, records the chief acts of
Governthent *Welt marked the brief dominion of
the Coisican, Previous to his assuming the com-
mand, Of his . armies, When all the delusions re--
specting the return of MARIA Louts*; and the
Pacific intentions of the Allies, Were dissipated ;
'When
,the foolish pageant of the Champ-de-Alta
Was over-;:and when, .while the country groaned
under Sub-Tyrants sent into 'every department, the
Grand -Despot he the hartlitood to-tonftss to
France, that She 'Must contend for him iu
against combined -Europe.
Amid all -his avocations, the Usurper bad not
been inattentive to the re-organitation of his mi-
litary .power„- and the restoration of Inisoners;
'ate. enabled.him not only to collect, but to equip
in the completest manner, a force as im-
posing as -ever Commander led to the field
of combat. In artillery he was partici:lady
mighty, having full three hundred pieces in the
best possible condition. Having limn ell a innc.
Lion of all his corps, the enemy entered Belgium
at the bead of about 130,000 picked men. His
design was evidently to strike a great blow before
the Allied forces were all assembled, and to con-
solidate his power by a victory over a distinguiih-
`et! portion of them, which would at least gratify.
his vengeance against the British, if it did not pa-
ralize the coalition, or afford hint the hope of exe-
cuting his famous system of beating his opponents
in detail.
We shall not follow tile affairs of the 15th June,
whet) the Prussians were first attacked on the
'Sambre, and driven back, nor even enter into a
recapitulation of the battle of the 16th, in which.
4LIJCHER was- 'worsted, but retired in admirable
order, while Marshal Nat, with two corps engaged
the British troops which had come up on the
French Lit, and succeeded in occupying them till
night, with great slaughter on 'all sides.
The presumption of the Usurper was now ex-
alted to:its usual pitch. SooeT wrote his celebrated
laconic note, announcing, that the Allied line hall
been separated, and that WELLINGTON and BLU-
CHER-had with difficulty escaped. France rung with
shouts of victory, and what was of greater conse-
quence, the, Army was inspirited to the very
acme of enthusiasm.
These feelings were exaggerated almost to de-
lirium when, at dawn on the 17th, it was disco-
vered that the British were retreating.
The French soldiers :mull officers spoke lutly of
driving them somewhere into the sea after sacking
Brussels, and, if they had had time would doubt-
less have gambled for their spoils, as they did on
the eve of the battle of Agincourt.
But the Duke of WELLINGTON had other views:
On the 18th, when the enemy rose to continue
the pursuit, he found he had nut far to el. The
British Army were discovered on the ground
ready for battle. BUONAPITE was in raptures,
and, unable to restrain his transport, he exclaimed
aloud (page 28)—'` Ah! I hare delft, then,—these
English !"

Little did he dream that be had caught a Tartar.
The first part of the battle, and the reiterated
and sanguinary attacks upon llo.gentont atid 134
H:qc Sainte king described, the author thus
proceeds,

" The points, at which th'e two English wings
had tiiken their station, beeu carried, the

t. e which vomited a deluge of balls
nud grape-shat upon them. The charges, evliich
,11:1(1 been ordered., were imaiedialely executed ! A
most firrmidable column advanced towards Mont

Sail Jean, where a desperate struggle ensued.
The French cavalry darted forward, at the same
time, to seize the artiiiery, but WAS assailed in its
:turn by the cava:ry of the enemy, and the carnage
on -both sides was Lorrible. Neither one side
nor the other would yield an inch of ground.
Fresh columns advanced, the charges were re-
newed', and the position was thride on the point
of being forced, but thrice, after performing► prri-
.digies of valour, the French were arrested in their,
progress. They now began to exhibit symptoms
of hesitation and inquietude. Several dismount-,
cd batteries were put into retreat. A consider-
aid number of wounded soldiers were detached
troin the main body, and spread alarm as to the
i!,ne of the battle. Profound silence had succeed-
ed' to the acclamations and cries of joy with which.

ccrtaiii of marching to victory, had be-

tore been rending the air. With the exception of
the infantry of the guard, ail the troops were en-
.g v. t 1 and exposed to a most. destructive fire.
• 'the action continued with unaba tine violence, yet
mithout any decisive result.

" It was near seven o'clock when BUONAPARTE,
`.lllO had till then remained on the hill, from which
:4e cleariy saw all that was passing, contemplutcd.

with a look of ferocity the hideous scene of but-

chery beneath him. The more numerous the dif-

only ansver was Forward, forward
Thus did this Demon lavish the blood of thou-
sands of his infatuated followers, and, unhappily,
in resisting them, caused the dearestplood of Bri-
taio to flow.

The subsequent defeat of the enemy, and t►te
cowardly flight of BUONAPAUTE, nearly occupy
the remaining pages, and are well painted in the
pamphlet before us. But it does not seem rcqui.
site to extract this part of the narrative, nor in-

deed slyrill we do the Author the injustice to rob
pis ‘vork of tLe circulation to which it is enti-
tled, by copying more of it into our columns than

is.uceessary toiuforin the public of its excellence.

We ;hall therefore briefly conclude with the men.

leave to do, again reconynending it to the public
r.ttention.
