sonal stafiof that excellent commander Thu,
officer present in all the battles, and in the
pursuit of Bonapartc's nyIug army by Gen Bu
lows corps, in the evening of the 18th lie wit
messed the caot;ire OF Napoleon's carriage by
Gen. Geuise'lan, with agreat part of MS personal
baggage. In the carriage were found a superb
military coat and nat, with several maps, plans
books, &c. This was the carriage in which he
himself travelled. The Carriage was found on
the road tn Chs"leroi, in front of Genappe, with
the door open, as fit had becnjust abandoned =
These were other carriages also belonging tn his
train, in which were found considerable quaint
ties OF money, besides plate and other valuablcs
The greatest havoc was made in the pursuit
by the black hussars, so well known by their
motto, +" Death or glory - AND so deservedly ce-
lebrated since their formation, although TIE can
nOnadc was constant and furious. The duke Of
Wellngton's battle was fought principally aux
srmes bianches with sword and bayonet, ami
was therefore SO destructive. In the same man
ner the ptWs slams foTght on the previous DAYS
when the weight of the conflict fell on them
II Was or this account that the carnage wa so
very great. The French heavy cavalry, and the
cIirsasiers in particular made repeated and ire
menduous charges, which were received and re-
sisted by the British and Prussian infantry with
sieadiness that excited the greatest admiration,
TIL the enemy was ultimately compelled to re-
tire.
Bonaparte directed the various attacks of his

about the period when Lord Uxbridge received
his wound, he anil his staff were nternixed
peie meIe with some part of the duke Of Weluig-
tons HIS escape was almost miraculous. So
confident was the duke ofWellngton of taking
him alive, that he ordered the artillery not to
play on the crninence which WAS occupied by 30
naparte and his suite.
The Duke and the Earl of Uxbridge had pre-
concerted the seizure of the Leader ofthc Ban
ditti's person, andthe glory of the achievement
was to have belonged to the 1st life Guards
It failed chiefly from the confusion occasionr,l
among the men by their gallant leaders severe
wounds, ard by Their not gaining the summit OF
the hill in time the instant their project be-
came apparent to the French, they were charged
By line regiment of Cuirassiers, and at this m.
atrant Bonaparie and his staff hustled of. The
Life guards were, for al instant, checked in their
pursuit.
