FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, JUNE 21, 4 P.M.

A letter from Binche, dated the 20th at noon, says,
44 A Prussian corps has just passed through this town,
going towards Maubeuge (tour leages off.) News is
this moment brought, that the gates of that town have
been opened to the Prussian advanced guard, which
left this place yesterday evening."
Joss 22.—The surrender of Maubeuge seems cer-
tain. It is now affirmed, that Louis XVIII. leaves
Ghent to-day, to go and fix there the seat of his pro-
visional government.
Tile Queen arrived here yesterday evening. She
visited this morning the Prince Royal, her son, whose
name will one day be tooted with pride in the his.
tory of our country. 'lnc wound of this young hero
is not so slight as was thought ; however, there is no
danger.
A division of 8000 French troops, which had
remained near Wavre, left it the day before yester-
day at five a. m. to try to effect its junction by
throwing itself into the woods of Limelette and
Ortignies, being pursued without ceasing by the
PrwslAr. troops. Several bloody actions took place,
iu sthich the enemy had 5000 killed, wounded, and
prisoners; the remmining 3000 saved themselves by
gairl;l;g the Meuse, which they crossed between N(.
mu: actl Dinant. Such is the result of one of the
most c .mplete overthroi•'s that history mentions.

EXTRACT OP A LETTER FRUN CHARLERvII DATED

JUNE 20, IN TILE MORNING;

" The well-known sentiments of the Functionary
who is the author of This letter, guarantees the au-
thenticity of the det•Ols which he gives.
46 The 14th in the •.vening, the Prussians were in.,
formed that a movement was executing along the,
whole French line; and in fact, at seven a. m. on the ,
15th, the tirailleurs were upon Marchiennes-sdr Pont
and Cfaiillet. There were several affairs of out-
posts, and the firing of musketry wok place as far as
the entrance of the wood of Gully. The French re-
ma'ned masters of the town at eleven a. as.
46 Bonaparte's army defiled during two days; he
was himself at the head of the first column ; he passed,'
thiough here at three o'clock, as far as the wood of
Gilly, where he took a position.
About 6 or 7 ft. in. he returned to lodge at
Puissants, and set off again the nest Morning at 10,
to direct the battle which took place from Ligny to
I;2,,iatre-Bras —I never in my life saw a finer French
army than that which he had this time.
66 N.B. The author has served several campaigns
as a conscript. It was wholly composed of veteran
troops, and had a considerable materiel. Well, in
twice tseeary four hours he has lost all; his soldiers
began to 'arrive here on the 18th, at seven P.M. la
Me onod terrible dirorder. Three quarters of those who
returned were wounded. The Generals and Officers

were in the, most cruel despair, and vented a tit. u-
, sand imprecations against this man, who cannot sa.
bate his blood : they will not serve him any longer.
Almost all the Camels, Majors, and Generals, are
eitht r killed or wounded. In.a word, of 40;000
cavalry who passed threugh here, not 10,000 capable
of service have returned ; they all threw away their
arms; and every soldier said he was.going home, and
that nobody should ever bring him into the fire again.
" Officets have told me, that the retreat fi-oin Mos.
eow was not near so terrible as this, because the Ge-
nerals and' Chiefs of Corps ft-id abandoned every
thing-, and saved themselves as they could.
66 Of the immense artillery which Bonaparte had,
only twelve pieces of cannon have returned.
66 Front Queue-bras w Beaumont- you cannot
take four sups without flitting; effects that have been
abandoned. M ire than 100 caissons, Jo:. d with am.
munition, provisions, and money, were abandoned in
the streets of Charleroi, which in three hours were all
pillaged by the populace.
46 I have Oa ;tamed that almost all
