that it came as a part of the booty, and presumin.r
that he was in it as a victor. Shortly after the dis-

Of the attachment of his followers to Bonaparte,
the followirig anecdotes' ire cited as proofs founde.i
on fact :
A favourite Mameluke, who was taken prisoner on
the 18th, having heard of his master's decisive defeat,
exclaimed—u Then I shall never live to see his dawn.
fall." With these words he opened his knife, nni
cut out his eyes. A French soldier, who had jirt
suffered the amputation of an arm, actuated by a
like spirit, requested that the limb should be given to
him kyi,hen taking it in his remaining hand, es i
brand bin; it round his head, he exclaimed, "

It is a fact, that at two o'clock on the ISli, it was
reported, and confidently believed at the Hague,
Antwerp, Brussels, and many other places in Flan.
ders and Holland, that the Allies had been con.
pletely defeated, and Bonaparte had obtained a deci.
sive victory. This was done simultaneously by pre.
violas concert with- his spies and secret agents, for the
purpose of improving any advantage which he might
Dy the same agency, the road to Brussel:
morn the,field of battle was, during the action of the
18th, intercepted by waggons, and other lumber and
eurebtance; so that, Fad our army been defected,
and obliged to retreat, it must have left all its hie-
. ne-dk ,beavy.artillery behind, the road having
n thus rendered almost impracticable. La Belle
-Alliance, the little place from which, with a silly and
unmeaning conceit, some of the Papers would deno.
minate the grand battle of 'the lath, consists of not
none than three or • four wretched homes, one of
which is nearly destroyed by the cannon-shot. The
plain of Waterloo is a manificent scene, and a prize-
Ifighting ground worthy of-such a battle.
The position of the French was woody, that of the
Allies chiefly covered with grain. Rye was the pre.
railing species. It grows so high, that a Scotch re.
giment, in advancing through 4 field of it on Cie 16th,
was nearly cut to pieces without seeing an enemy.
The French-observed its approach by the tips of i.s
muskets shining in. the corn, and took aim ac.

All accounts agree in the great advantage that the
Fiench cuirassiers derived from their armour. Tht;r
swords were three inches longer than any used by
Allies, and inclose action the cu s of our sabres did
no excetstion,•eicept they fortunately came across t!-.2
neck of 'the enemy. The latter also, feeling then,.
