FEHTftS, June II, 1915.
MONSIEUR MARsHAL,--I announced yes
terday from the field Of battle of Ligny, 20
his imperial hghness Prince Joseph, the sig
nal victory which the Emperor has gained.
returned here with his IN ajcsty at IL o.
clock in the evening, aud it was necessary to
pass the night in attending TO the wounded.
The emperor has remouuted his horse to fol-
low the success of the battle of Ligny- Ii was
fought with fury, and the greatest enthusi-
asm on tine part Of the troops. We were one
TO three.
Al eight O'Clock in the evening, the Emp
ror marched with his guard six battalions
of the old guard, the dragons and horse
grena,liers, and the cuirassicrs of Gen. De-
Rot, debouched by Ligny, and executed a
charge which separated the enemies line.
Wellington and Butcher saved themselves
with difficulty the effect was theatrical In
an Instant the firing ceased, and the enemy
was routed in all directions. Wehave alrca-
;ly several thousand prisoners, and ten pieces
OF cannon. The 9th and 1st corps were not
engaged. The left wing fougls against the
E.uglis!Narmy, and took from it cannon and
standards.
At night will give you further details, for
every instant prisoners are announced. Our
loss does not appear enormous since without
screening it, do rot reckon it more than s,
600 men.
