NEWPORT.

The silly and gossippiDg story in The iast
Mercury Of the battle of Waterloo, is charsc-
terisiic Of British egotism m.-The studied
care Of keeping out of view almost entirely
the vast army Of the allies with which ths, Of
The French were delugcd, or almost surroun.
ded, justifies this remark. In this studied ab-
senee of every thing except British, il is rela.
ted the service Of wbose artillery were so
accurate and so destructive that the French
advancing eolumns wero eBhladed and anni-
hilated, before they could advance upon tho
high soad." "The French columns kept per.
pstually advancing from the hollow wsy with
GU, ever gaining ground on The plain. So
speedily we,e the files snnihilated as they
came into the iine OF the EIe."-This color
ing Of this frli swoop, like hhe brink of era.
ter Of n.ei,ed lava, fatal TO all yho ore propel-
led beyond the precipice, is sscribed to the
service Of British artillery, which was upon
this &c casiop, SO destructive. Yet notwith-
standing, however marvellous and strange 10
relate, this writer makes the French to ad-
vance from the hollow way on 10 the plain, in
.the following words, "they advsncrd sga,nst
every obstacle, till they attained the iidgo
where The Brush lay on tho ground to avoid
the destructive hre Of artillery" Now new
scene ensues, irom which it seems this very
wretched sccouDt, that the Prussians, having
u.aanksd, turned, and charged the right of
the French io The reai, who, being owe pow.
cred by numbers, a retreat became necessary
what follows ,hebi He Itlls US the Duko
Of Wellington perceived the disorder OF the
French retreat, end the advance Of the Prua-
slams on their right flank, where they were
already driving in all that were opposed TO
them, he imne ediateIy commanded the Bra-
ish troops 10 form line, and assume the Of
fensivs. These brave British troops no lon
ger lay on The ground, aftor the danger wss
oyer, by tho re,rea, of the enemy, pursued by
the Prussisns, they Joined in the pursuit.
and the detail closes with perhaps the only
true sentence in tho whole account, that the
rear, or covering party of the French, were
literally eut TO pieces"
Such is the dereliclion OF sapient federal
edi,ors-tbey seize with avidity British legen-
aasy tales, which they as well as all The world
know 20 bc ridiculous gasconade--whle those
