JUNE 18TH.

DECISIVE VICTORY.
BUONAPARTE leaving the 4th corps ,to observe
and kold the Prussians in check, directed his en-
tire efforts against the British Army. At 10 o'clock
in the morning, the attack commenced on a strong
position et Hogoutuount, the right of our Centre,
and our whole line was thence successive assail-
ed with the utmost vigour and perseverance.—

Thanks to the discipline and courage of our
Countrymen, this combat was sustained till seven
o'clock in the evening, and the Enemy was every
where baffled. La Haye-Suinte was the only point
he Fenetrated, owing.to its defenders having ex-
pended 411 their ammunition. As the French fell
back from their repeated attacks, our Cavalry
found many opportunities to cover themselves with
renown by-brilliant and destructi►•e charges.
At length, however, the decisive moment ar,
rived. Our Hero, whom coolness and prudence.
had restrained through the whole of this arduous
day, caught the golden opportunity. The Enemy
were retreating in great confusion from a last
desperate effort upon our ling, and particularly
from the left centre at La Haye-Sainte :—WEL-
LINGTON perceived that &Low had now come
up so as to be able to complete •the rout of
the foe ; he gave The important order—outr
gallant Regiments rushed forward, and in. an
instant the overthrow of the French :on every
point, their being driven from the heights on
which they vainly attenipted to make a stand*
proved that the soldiers who bad -been so steady
as defenders were irresistible as assailants !

A Hundred and Fifty pieces of Cannot, An:trim-
nition, Baggage, all die Materiel of the Enemy,
fell into the hands of their Conquerors, who con-
tinued the pursuit, till exhausted nature- claimed
the medicine of repose.
But the Prussians took up the Unfinished labour,
and following the fugitives through the night, bad

the imperial Guard, and even part of the baggage

On the melancholy eve list of the slain e shall
offer no sorrowing comment. They have died
likePatriois,and Heroes—they have inancsrtal4ed
themselves, and ate so identified with the
lilory of -their Country, that their names will be
repeated with veneration by. the_latest posterity.

We give, therefore, our Teats to the Men—
our Admiration to the Warriors. Would to Goal
they might all have been spared to their lovini and
jet loved Connections ; but their fate deserves a
Soldier's envy, and the Honour of their (lying
will sooth.the Griefs which springs at their Death.

A Brussels Mail furnishes some interesting
news. In La Vend& the Royalists are Victurious,
li;ighty Thousand good subjects are in arms, and
two regipients of the Rebel young guards have
been cut to pieces at Angers. The Allies were
moving all along the Rhine, preparatory to the
invasion, of leranee.—The Imperial head-quarters
were to be at Manheim, on the 13:11 or 14th. The
Allies from /Lily, .5Q,0.00 strong, were in r4otion
on Savoy.

There arc favourable accounts of the earlier
operations in Li, Vem!6!, in the Jot4racii Lluiversq.
We have no room for them to-day.
