LATE FROM ENGLAND.

Arrived below, ship Thomas Scattergoed,

We have received our regular file OF English
papers to the 18th June, from which we make
tie following interesting details.
LoSDoN, June 90.
We have this day to announce the extraor-
binary and unlocked for consequences that
resulted from the brilliant victory of the Duke
OF W ellington. Never in the history Of the
world did one battle produce an event so i'm
portant. It came to ms Just as cur paper was
gong TO press, and our readers may desire to
! nave ALI account OF the preliminary steps that
| led to the final res solution OF Napoleon, in the
order IN which they reached US IN the COURSE
OF yesterday.
1t is not often that the account of the beaten
enemy IS more favorable to the victors than
their own |; but second Instance has occur
red, In which BOnaparte not merely has adj
mItted ms failure, but has described his disas-
ter IN the most emphatic terms. Precisely
as he did on his return from Moscow has he
done here. The batcfe OF Waterloo is pan
ted in the most gloomy colors-Sc he throws
. himself quite open to the nation, as if all were
lost II they did not instantly rally round lis
|. standard, and make national effort for the
salvation Ut France.
1t would be lmpertnent III us to speculate
on the part that the Assemblies will act in
this great crisis of the affairs of France. The
reception which the House of Representa-
tiveS gave to the Report of Fouche, on the
internal state OF France, demonstrates the
jealousy which they have of the Emperor
They considered the statement of the inter
nal disorders as greatly exaggerated, for the
purpose otobtaining Revolutionary power; x
they withheld it. But il the statement was
true even In degree, this account OF the bat
tie OF Waterloo must greatly augment the in
surrectlon, and give reality to that statement
which the Minister had aggravated. In this
extremity, then, what VIII be the resolution
OF the TWO houses Of the French Parliament?
Lhey are evidently not Bonap drtisss-nor are
they BJurbCnists--nor are they Jacobins-
Ihe majority have already proved them
selves to be men determined to Sc, ure the in
tegrlty and independence Of France, to give
IT trse Constitution. The whole question
then, seems to be--Whether in this danger
eus state of their affairs they will uphold Ho.
napdrte as The most likely Instrument TO at
tam ther object, or, by a proposition to the
hihss, endeaVor to gam it by d compromise
lnis IS the topic OF universal speculation, and
we observe symptoms of intrigue already
manifesting themselves in the quarter where
the intrigue is the only talent that is cOn-
spicucuS.
Oar readers may have seen our contradic.
IiOl VI du lhS!OiOuS assertion Of the Inles that
The Du1c OF Orleans had published an Adj

Ole principle of legitimacy was now the sole
guarantee of peace to France and Europe
aud that nothing but the extinction of IN illus
tI1ous Branch, could open to him a path to
the throne" Certainly no such declaration
was either called for or made by the Duke Of
Orleans, who has uniformly adhered to the
maxim, that the will of the people alone gives
legitimate power, and that 40 sovereign iorc
