From fle LanIou Courier of .Ene 81.
Among Bonaparte's baggage found a por-
tefeullle said to contain a list OF his agents in
different paris OF Europe--a most precious prize
indeed The military chests of the Imperial
Guard was taken Among the prisoners, we
find named cie count Lobau, who commanded
the 9th corps, and Vandnme, who commanded
tie Sd; Compans, who commanded division of
the guard Clmbrone, who was with Bonaparte
at the Island of Elba Mouton, general Of d.
vision, (, the ever infamous letebre Desnouettes;
Cambaecres, the son Of the Old conspiratOr, and
On Moulin, an aid-le-camp OF Bouaparte.
The Eagles taken, belonged To the Ash and
10Th regiments, and were superbiy guilt and or
namented with gold fringe That ct the 45th
was Inscribed with The names jena Aasterlitz,
Wagram, Eyau, rrediand, &C. being the battles
in which this regiment called the hlyincibles,
has signalized Itself. The other was present
from Louisa to the 104th regiment. One was
much deiaced with blood and Dirt as il it had
been struggled for, and the Eagle was also bro
ken off from the pole, as from the cut OF a sa-
bre, but it was nevertheless preserved.
Several French regiments sad to have
cried vivent les BourbOnS, and offered to come
over. But thiswas suspected to be aruse de guer.
re.
The charges of the cavalry, particularly of the
heavy brigade. consisting OF the Blues, Greys,
&c. are represented in field of battle, and that
alter [hefirst onset the French cavalry could not
be brought To stand its ground.
The Greys suffered very severely; its colonel
(iamilton) fell gloriously at its head, and The
swo Majors Q4leut col Clarke and Hankin) are
wounded
The ohieflos Of our cavalry arose from the
different mode Charming them from the enemy.
The cuirassiers, whose bodies are proeci ed by
armour, and the lancers, whose arms are so much
more powerful than the sabre, possessed from
these circumstances great advantage.
Many interesting particulars transpred in the
debate last RigIIt One OF these shews that the
brilliant qualities the hero, the Duke of We'll
lington adds in an eminent degree those feelings
of sensbty and humanity, that adorn the man.
Nothing can be more touching than his letter so
the Earl of Aberdeen, upon the death Ofhs broth
er sir William Gordon, which was read by Earl
Bathurst very excellent address 10 the
House of lords. Both Houses of Parliament
vie with elch other IN the unanimity OF their
votes OF thanks TO the Duke, to the Prince of o.
range, 20 the other generals, officers and pr-
Yates OF the British army. Thanks were also
voted 10 Marshal Butcher and TO his army. A
very gallant anecdote was related Of this great
General-n the battle of the 10Th he had fill
from his horse, which confined him 80 his bed /;
but the moment he heard the Duke was attack
ed he headed his troops, and led them in person
~CSfCNCis
and estate for the Duke-81), 0OOl. were also vo-
ted for captures made by the army when in the
Peninsula. Mr. Forbes thought it ought to have
been million. II will probably be raised to
that sum, the claims given in exceeding 3JO,O00l
No money will be more cheerfully paid.
An article having appeared in some Of the
newspapers, stating that the Prince Of Orange
was not so well could be wished, the ball not
having been extracted, we nave authority to say
that his royal hghness's wound was not original.
w considered dangerous, the ball having passed
clear through the flesh part Of the arm uader the
shoulder.
We believe the following will be found to be
atolerabiy accurate statement of the Duke oi
Wellington's force the whole was divided mto
two corps d'rmee.
The first under the command Of his ROYAL
H.ghness the Prince Of Orange comprising the
Ist Sd and 5th divisions, let ON by tine Generals
Cooke (of the Guards) Allen, and Potion.
Fine second corps was commanded by General
Lord Hill, and composed Of the 81, An and 9Th
divisions the two former Of winch we're under
the orders ofsr ". Cintoa all general Hlnubcr
and the 9th nom.naiiy that OF S,f t. Cole, wio
had not yet joined the army.
This nvinciDle .od triumphant force is said to
have contained about
