"THE CREEVEY PAPERS."
"THE CREEVEY PAPERS." Much very interesting readiiig is to be found in a book of this title, edited by Sif Herbert Maxwell, and published by Mr John Murray. It contains a selection from the correspondence and diaries of the late Thomas Creevy, M.P." He was born in 1768, and died at over 70 years of age in 1833. His correspondence shows a remarkable intimacy with all th9 leading men of his time. He was a Whig and strong supporter, of Fox. It would take a full oolumn to name half of the interesting Statesmen and eociety people with whom he mixed. We refer our readers to the pages of the book for the rich banquet contained in ita. leaves, but perhaps we may venture to quote a few very interesting lines relating to the battles of Ligny and Quatre Bras fought on a Friday, followed by Waterloo on the following Sunday, 18th June, 1815. Creevey was at Brussels at tbi", time, and his daughter attended the celebrated ball given by the Duchess of Richmond. From his account it seems toler- ably clear that Kapoleou,as alleged by Lord Byron and aot admitted by Wellington, surprised Blucher and Wellington by the rapidity of his ad vane a on Brussels and the allied forces in front of it. It is a remaikable fact that though Brussels is only 12 miles from Waterloo the people at Brussels did not know the result of the battle until Monday morn* ing. All the" Sunday night the- English civilians and ladies slept in their clothes expecting the French every minute. The news of the great vic- tory was brought by a staff officer t,) General Sir Charles Alten at 3 a.m., the French having given way at 8 p.m. on the Sunday. Mr Creevey gives the following interesting account of his interview with Wellington :—About 11 o'clock, upon going out again, I heard a report that the Duke was in Brussels; The' first thing I saw was the Duke upstairs at the window. Upon his recognising me he' immediately beckoned to me with his finger to come up. I met Lord Arthur Hill in the anie-room below, who, after shaking hands and congratulations, told me I could not go up to the Duke as he was then writing his dispatch, but as 1 had been invited I, of course, proceeded. The first thing I did was to put cut my hand and congratulate him upon his victory. He made a variety of observations in his short, natural, b'unt way, bat with the greatest gravity all the time and without the least approach to anything like triumph or joy. "It hag been a, damned serious business," he said. "Blucher and I have lost 30,000 men. It has been a damned nice thing' the nearest run thing yoft ever Saw in your life. Blucher lost 14,000 on Friday night and got so damnably licked I could not find him on Saturday morning, so I was obliged to fall bank to regain my communications Vfit'h him." Thetlas he walked about he praised greatly those Guards who kept the farm (meaning Hougomont) against the re- peated attacks of the French andtheirhepraisèd all our troops, uttering repeated expressions of astonishment at our men's courage. He repeated so Often its being so nice a thing," so nearly ruti a thing," that I askc:l him if the French had' fought better than he had ever'S'een them do before. No," he said, they have always fought the same since 1 Erst saw them* at YimaWa." TheTi he said, By God, I don't think it. would hard been done if 11 had not been there." Mr'Creeivey the following day, the 20th', rode over the batt'lefhild still strewn with dead and dyiug men. Si) tior'ribie',wad' th1:i carnage "and BO exhausted the survivors that the wounded were still lying On the field in number^, especially round Hougbmont, On the left,1' says the narrator, of the road going from Waterlbw to Morit St Jean, and close up' to within a yard or two of a small ragged hedgawhich waS out* line, the French lay as if they had been mown" down' in a- row withont any interval."
