eouarades.. There for time hours msineroui Ante
were made, which enabled us to penetrate several
squares, and to take some standards of the light in-
fantry, an advantage out of proportion with the loss
which our cavalry experienced by the grape shot and
musket firing. •
It-was impossible to dispose of our reserves of in-
fantry until we had repulsed the flank attack of the
Prussian corps. This attack always was prolonged,
and perpendicularly upon our right flank. The Em-
peror sent thither General Duhesne with the young
guard and several battalions of reserve. The enemy
was kept in check, repulsed, and fell back. He had
exhausted his forces, and we had nothing more to
fear. It is this moment that was indicated for an at-
tack upon the centre of the enemy. As the cuiras-
siers suffered by the grape-shot, we sent four batta-
lions of the middle guard to protect the cuirassiers.
keep the position, and, if possible, disengage and
draw back into the plain a part of our cavalry.
Two other battalions were sent to keep themselves
en potence upon the extreme left of the division, which
had manoeuvred upon our flanks, in order not ro have
any uneasiness on that side. The rest was disposed
in reserve apart, to occupy the potence in the rear upon
Mont St. Jean, part upon the plateaux in the rear of
the field of battle, which formed our reserve position.
In this state of affairs the battle was gained ; we oc-
cupied all the positions which the enemy occupied at
the onset of the battle ; our cavalry having been too
soon and too ill employed, we could no longer hope
for decisive success. Bat Marshal Grouchy having
learned the movement of the Prussian corps, marched
upon the rear of that corps; which insured us a signal
success for next day. After eight hours' fire and;
charges of intantryand cavalry, all the army saw
with joy the battle gained and the field of battle in
our power.
At halt after eight o'clock four battalions of the
middle guard, who had been sent to the platform on,
the other side of St. John, in order to support the
cuirassiers; being greatly annoyed by their tire, endea-
voured to carry the batteries with the bayonet. At
the end of the day, a charge directed against their
flank by several English squadrons put them in dis-
order, and obliged them to remiss the ravine.
Several regiments near at hand seeing some troops
belonging to die guard in contusion; believed it was
the old gear..l, and in consequence lied in disorder.—
T►re cry, e 3 is ha, the guard is driven back, was
heard on every side. The s ,ldiers pretend even that
on many points several ill-disposed persons cried nut,
:arms ?Li peut. However it may be, a coniplete panic
spread itself throughout th: whole field of battle, ant!
they thr.:w thenise.ves in the greatest disorder on the
ling of commuutcation ; solt:iers,cannoneers, caitsons,
all hurry to this path:- The old guard, which was
in rest rye, was attacked, and completely cut up. In
an inst.l:.t, the whole army was uotbing but, a mass
of confu,i••u : all the soldiers of all arms were mixed
peleid, and tt WAS utterly impossible to form a single
corps.
'file enemy, who perceived this great confusion,
immediately attacked with their cavalry, and in-
creased the disorder, and such was the contusion r w-
ing to night coming on, that it was impossible to rally
the troops and point out to them their error. Thus,
a battle terminated, a day of false manoeuvres recti-
fied, the greatest success insured for the next day, all
lost by ottani of a momentary panic.
The squadrons placed on the side of the Emperor
were disorganized and destroyed by an oven% lie:m-
ing force, and there was nothing left but to follow
the tonent. The park of reserve, all the baggage
which had repassed the Sombre, in short every tau d
in the field of battle remained in the power of t!.e
enemy.
.It was impossible ,to wait for the troops on our
right; every one knows what the bravest army in the
world is when thus mixed snd thrown into confusion,
and when its organisation no longer exists. The
Emperor crossed the Sambre at Clsarleroi at five
o'clock in the morning. PhiliPpeville and Avesnes
have been given as the points of re-union.
The Prince Jerome, General Moretti!, and other
Generali, have there rallied a part of the army: Mar-
shal Groichy, with a corps on the right, is moving
on the Lower Sambre.

The loss of Mil enemy must have been very great,
if we may judge from the number of standards we
have taken from them, and from she retrograde
movement which he has made: ours cannot be cal-
culated till after the troops shall hate been collected.
Previously to the confusion which topic' place, we
had already experienced a very considerable loss, par-
ticularly in our cavalry, so fatally, though so bravely
engaged.
Notwithstanding these immense losses, this brave
cavalry constantly kept the position it had taken from
the English, and only abandoned it Whets the tumult
and disorder of the field of battle forced it. In the
midst of the night, and obstacles which encumbered
‘tiorions their routes it could not preserve its own organization.
The artillery was, as usual, covered with glory. The
carriages belonging to• the head-quarters remained in
their ordinary position ; no retrograde movement be-
ing. judged necessary. la the emotes of the night
the y tell into the enemy's hands.
Such was the result of the battle of Mont St. Jean,
forthe French armies, and yet so fatal.

M. DE LA FAxn-re.—Gentkimen, while for the first
time for many years, you hear a voice which the 016
friends of liberty may yet recognize. I feel mY4'll
called upon to speak to you of the extreme d.iogers
of the country which you et present alone have the
power of saving. Sinister reports have been spread;
they are unfortunately confirmed. This is the mo-
ment to rally round the old tri-colosired standard,
that of 89, that of liberty,•equality, and public order;
it is that alone which can protect us from I,,reign at•
Icki and internal dissensions. Allow, Gentlemen,
