FIELD OF WATERLOO.

The following particulars have been communicated
by a person just returned Irom a tour through the
Netherlands ;

i The vilt.ge of Waterloo and-its environs are, at
this mointnt, pethaps, inor-. interesting to au English
! •
visitor than at a-y period since the battle. TNe most
affecing tes•irrioniala to ti.c memory of different il-
lustrious individuals wha fell in that terrible ronflict
MCC' the eye iu almost every direction. The interior
of the Church of Waterloo, a vinal., but very neat
structure, is nearly covered with mount:lents to the
memory of British Officers. Alt of these are written
in su.:ll a strain of manly and modest simpli&ty, and
some of them under circumstances of such affection
tenderness, that every English wader, while his heart
is touched with the deepest sympathy. must feel him-
self elated in belonging to a conotry which has pro-
duced instances of such unparalleled heroism.
In the church-yard, among many other moon.
ments, appears the maiisoleom of the Marquis of
ANGLEIEeS leg. with an inscription that reflects the
highest honour on that distingeishcd Nobleman.
To the wall of La nape Sainte, next the
road, is aflised a plain mural monufnetit, with a short,
but most sublime and touching inscrietion, to the ho.
nour of those Otliccrs of at. German Legion who
fell in the arduous task of defending this faun
against an entire division of the French army. It
is erected by the surviving ()dicers of that distin-
guished Regiment, to the memory of their depar-
ted brethren.

The celebrated Chatean of llongoutnisnt remains.
in the state in which it was lett alter the !tittle a
heap of ruins. The marksof the shot still remain on
the trees and gat den wall, where the English Guards
fought with such persevering aed unsuhtitied energy.
A splendid monument is now erecting in the open
field, on the very •spot where the hero fell, to the me-
mory of Sir ALEX A t: Dia Cone 'x, of whom such des.
tinguislied mention v. as made in the Ilourt•in Com-
mons, and by the Doke in ‘Ver.t.i.:urote. The in-
scription, which, bkt II the
1.. 0:11tri, is admirably
written, starts, that it is dedicati.d to the memory of
the deceased, by his seven sum vi%ing brothers and
sisters. Toe same inscription appears in the French
language on the opposite side of the pedestal.
But of ail the testimonials which tare been erec-
ted on this most interesting occasion, there is none
more deeply affecting than a plain black stone, which
appears in the centre of the Church of Waterloo, the
inscription cos which is written in Latin, and signed
HOMY CUPPAGE j alter stating, that the conduct
and gallantry of the deceased had been such as to
attract the notice even of their great Commander-in.l
Chief, it concludes with these affecting ezpressi ins :
" His only surviving brother, who fought by his side during
that bog and arduous day, and at night received his last breath,
whilst supporting hint in his arms, has erected this simple stone
to the memory of one who was endeared to hint by the strongest
ties that eau bind two human beings to each other."
It is painful to conclude this account with an in-
stance of the behaviour of the ungrateful Belgians on
a late occasion, which can nevet be forgotten. The
inhabitants of Brussels and its neighbourhood, inclu-
ding many distinguished" personages, public func-
tionaries, &c. celebrated the anniversary of the battle
of Waterloo, on the 18th of June, by a nelendid
Fete Champetre, given on the Feld itself. The Brats
eels Papers, of the following. day, give a minute
ac-
count of this brilliant commensuration, with all the
toasts, speeches, &c. which were delivered on so
I striking an occasion. Would it be believed, that
neither the name of the Duke of Wist.r.mrros nor the
English Army is once. tnetv.:intd iq tie natzation ?
