AU the troops composing the Camp at-Venus will
proceed towards the Rhine immediately after the re-
view, and will evacuate the French territory : these
troops amount to 200,000 men of all arms.
Three columns of the Russian army will pass
through the department of the Meuse between the
15th and 20th September, to proceed beyond the
Rhine. The Ist column, abut 60,000 strong, and
15,000 horses, wal enter that department about the
14th or 16th. The 2d and 3d, about 100,000 men
and 30,000 horses, will go by Bar le Duc, Freine-
au-mont, and Bentonville. The first will arrive in
Brabant on the 15th or 16th. The administrative
Authority is busily occupied with the arrangements
necessary for the subsistence of these troops.
The following details will give a correct idea of
the dangers which Bonaparte personally underwent
on'the memorable day of Waterloo. These details
were furnished us by an eye witness of the whole,
and may be relied on :
•6 From two o'clock until a quarter before seven,
Bonaparte commanded all the operations and move-
menu from a position where he remained without any
danger whatever to his own person : he was at least
' 3 cannon shot and a half off : nothing in short could
reach him.

taken for that oi Marshal GROUCHY, was in reality a

were desperate, and that he had no other resource
than to make a great effort with the reserve of his
guard, composed of 15,000 men. This part he ac-
cordingly took.

solution, which re-animated a little those who sure

Guards, to animate them. Before I conclude, there
' is a peculiarity which deserves to be noticed, namely,.
that before effecting his personal retreat, in order tt.
get rid of impertinent witnesses, he directed all those
around him to carry different orders at once,. and to
.bring information, the result of which could not con-
cern him in the least." •
It is no longer doubtful that the Treaty of general
Peace is finally settled, the chilief point of which is
the integrity of France. The Prime Minister of
Louis XVIII. has obtained for his Msjesty, all that
could be obtained in the pre,ent circumstances : his
Highness and the Duke of Wellington agree in their
political views, and upon the ground of their wisdom
the mutual prosperity of the two countries will be
firmly established.
The political views of the Court of Madrid re-
specting France are a kind of riddle, which we con-
fess ourselves unable to explain. 'Of this, however,
we are well assured, that if Ferdinand VII. is serious
in his hostile attempts against the French territory,
he will be completely disappointed—and we are sorry
to add that he will not be more successful in Ame.
rica, the insurgents being too numerous, and under
no apprehension of the forces that the Court of Ma-
drid can send against them. It is said that the famous
Miranda is one of the chief of the rebels.

for having transgressed the military laws by his in..
subordination ; had he been pardoned, it would have
set a dangerous example to the army.

To this, we might answer, that no crime can be ex-

as his forlorn hope ; but when he arrived within 200
toises (1200 feet) from three solid squares of allied
troops which occupied a ridge, with a formidable ar-
tillery (and which ridge it WAS necessary to carry), he
suddenly stopped under the broken ground of a sand-
pit, or ravine, and a little on one side, out of the di.
rection of the cannon balls.

The politicians pretend that the Duke of Bourbon
is gone to England to settle some points of discussion
which form an obstacle to the conclusion of the Treaty
of NMI. That the urgencies of Government may
have occasioned his Highness's journey, we think
very probable; bat as to the Treaty of Peace, tiser e
is no reason to believe that any material obstacle pre-

pied, although it is very true that be was close enough
to the enemies' batteries. As the corps passed him,
he smiled and addressed to them expressions of con-
fidence and encouragement. The march*of these
old warriors was very firm, and there was something
solemn in it. Their appearance was very fierce. A
kind of savage silence reigned among them. There
was in their looks a mixture of surprise and discon-
tent, occasioded by their unexpected meeting with
Bonaparte, who, as they thought, was at their head.
" In proportion as they ranged up the eminence,
and darted forward on the squares which occupied its
summit, the artillery vomited death upon them, and
killed them in masses. This part of the scene came
directly under Bonapartes eyes, without his being
able to see what passed on the height itself, as he
still kept himself, as it were, enveloped in the corner
of the Ravine. It was then precisely a quarter of an
hour Cron) seven o'clock, and it was at' this very Mo-
ment that the decisive critic of the battle commenced.
" Bonaparte had then six persons close to him t—s
these were, his brother Jerome, Generals Bertrand,
Drouet, Bernard, Doubers, and Labedoycre. At
every step which he took, or seemed to take, to put
