Percy arrived latelast.night "With a dispatch from Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, K. G. to Earl Bathurst, his Majes ty's Principal Secretary of State for the War Department, of which the following is a copy JVaterloo, June 19, 1815. 1\Iy LORD—Bonaparfehavingcollected the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 6th corps of the French army, and the Imperial Guards, and nearly ail the ca- valry, or tUe Sainhre, and between that river and the Meme. between the 10th and the 14th of the advanced on the 15th and attacked the Prussian posts at Thnin and Lobez, on the Sam- bre, at day-light in the morning. I did not. hear of these events till the evening of the 15th, and 1 immediately ordered the troops to prepare Io march; and afterwards to march to their left, as soon as I had intelligence from otner quarters to prove that the enemy's move- ment nii5ii-Chayleroy was the real attack. i-iie enemy drove the Prussian posts from the Saribrf on that day, and General Zeiten, who «i.'r:iifiar<?ed the corps which had been at. Charle Toy, reared upon Fleams and Marshal Prince Biucher conceal rated tbe Prussian army upon •SuEiOref, holding the villages ill Croat of iji-, po- sit-on of St. Amandand Ligny. The enemy continued his march along: the road from towards Bruxelles, and on the ^ame e-veeing, the 15ih. attacked a brigade of the •army' of the Netherlands,-under tne Prince de *lr ?i:u,ir, posted at Frasne, a.id forced It to the farm-house on the. same road, called Les ■Q■■■:>' re Bras. The Prince of Orange immediately reinforced this brigade with another of the same division, under General Perponchcr, and in the earl y regained part of the ground which aadheen logt. so as to have the COUIIHIIKI of t lit- coniuiiirii- cation leading from Nivelles and Bruxelles, with Marshal Biucher's position. la the mean time I had directed the whole of the army to mar;h upon Les Quatre Bras, and ttie 5Mi division under Lieut.-General Sir Thos.. Picron, arrived at a;>our half-past two in the, day fonowcrl hy the enms of troops under the Duke of Brunswick, and afterwards by the coniingeat of Nassau. At this time the enemy commenced an attack upon Prince Biucher with his whole force, ex- cepting the 1st and 2d corps and a corps of ca- valry under Genera! Kalleruian, with which he attacked our posts at Les Quatre Bras The Prussian army ina-ii.iiiie(i position with their usual gallantry & tierseverance, against a grea: disparity of numbers, as the 4th corps 01 their- army, under General Bulow, had not join- ed, and I was not able fo assist then) as I wished, as I was attacked myself, and the cavalry in par- ticular, which had a long distance to march, had not, arrived. We maintained,our position also,and complete- ly defeated and repulsed all the enemy's attempts to get possession of it. The enemy repeatedly attached us wi h a large body of infantry and ca valry, supported by a numerous and powerful ar- tlii' iy ie mack several charges with the caval- r) upon our inn), try, mi all were repulsed iu tft • Gteaclksi ajan-?ei\ 1.,i ,his affiir h"q Itoyal Higii- nes, tl.e Pri-ity of Orange, the Duke of Bruns- Lie«n.Teueral Sir T boas as Picton, Major- 'ral Sir .lames Kt.-iHV, and Sir De.ns Packi i V-ere naed Itom the com s, :TIC ".oeut of ttie euni/s attack, hi,'til, detHagusshe;" iheniselves, I as weli as Lieut.-Genera! Charles Baron AJt\IJ, fth-.ior General Sii C. Halket, Lieutenaiv General Cooke, aucl i'-lajar-Generals Maitland and Byug, as fiiey successively arrived. The troops of the 5-h division, and those of the. Brunswick corps, were long and severely engaged, and conducted themselves witn the utmost gaiiantry. I must particularly mention the 28th, 42d 79th, an 9i;d regiments, and the battalion of Hanoverians, Our loss was great, as your Lordship will per- ceive by the enciosed return, and I have particu- larly to regret his Serene Highness the Duke of Brunswick, who fell, fighting gallantly at the head of his troops. Although Marshal Biucher had maintained his position at Sambref, he still fouud himself much weakened by the severity of the contest m which he bad been engaged, and as the fourth corps liad not arrived, he determined to fall back, and concentrate his arm} upon Wavre; and he march. ed in the night after the action was over. This movement of the Marshal's rendered ne- cessary a corresponding one on my part; and I retired from the f irm of Quatre Bras upon Ge- aappe, and thence upon Waterloo the next inurn- ing. the 17th, at ten o'clock. The enemy made no effort to pursue Marshal Biucher. On the contrary, a patrole which I sent to Sambref in the morning, found all quiet, and the enemy's videttes fell back as the patrole advanced. Neither did he anempt to molest-our march 10 the rear, although HHlde in the middle of lie day, excepting by following, with a large bod} of cavalry, brought fiom his right, the ca. valry under the Earl of Uxbridge. This gave Lord LTxl)i-. ;ge an opportunity of charging them with the 1st Life Guards, upon their deb niche from the village of Genappe. upon which occasion his Lordship has declared himseif to be well satisfied with that regiment. The position which I took up in the front >f of Waterloo, crossed the high roads from Char- leroy md Nivelle, and had its right thrown back to a ravine near Merke Braine, which was occu- pied and its left extended to a height above the lH"wl«? 7?? Ja Have, which w is i-kewise occu- jjicri, In of the right centre and near the Ni velle road, we occupied the house and garden of Hougoumont, which covered the return of that fl ntk and in front of the left centre, we occupied the farm of La Ilaye Saiute. By our left we communicated with Marshal Prince Blu- cher at Wavre through Ohiam nnd the Marshal had promised me thai in case we should be at- tacked he would support me with one or more corps as might be necessary. .the-oemy collected his army, with the excep- tion of the third corps, which had been sent to rve Marshal Blucher, on a range of heights in our front, in the course of the night of the 17th anil yesterday morning and about ten o'clock he cf". "enced a furious attack upon our post at Ho ugoumont. 1 had occupied that post with a detachment from General Byng's brigade of Guards, which was in position in its rear and it was for some time under the command of Licut Colonel Macdouald, and afterwards of Colonel Home and I am happy to add, that it wail main tai ied'hroughout the day with the utmost gal- lantry by these brave troops, notwithstanding the repeated efforts of large bodies of the enemy to obtain possession of it Thi- attack upon the right of our centre was acoi'i'»patmd hy a very heavy cannonade upon our whole i ne, which was destined to support the rerwaH," étUack,;¡ of cavalrv and Infantry .occa sioiuJly mixed, but sometimes separate, which wj-re made upon it. In one of tllsc the euemy 1 carried the farm hoase-of La Haye Sainte, as n, e detachmen If the Hght baltalion of the legion wh'd¡ occupied it had expeuded ail its ammum- tioit, and the enemy occupied the only communi- cation there was wi'h them. The enemy repeatedly charged our infantry with his cavalry, but these attacks were uni- formly unsuccessful, and they afforded opportu- nities to our cavalry to charge, in one of which Lord E. Somerset's brigade, consisting of the life guards, royal horse guards, and 1st dragoon guards, highly distinguished themselves, as did that of Major-General Sir W. Ponsonby, having taken many prisoners and an eagle. These attacks were repeated till about seven in the evening, when the enemy made a desperate effort with the cavalry and infantry, supported by the fire of the artillery, to force our left centre near the farm of La Haye Sainte, which after a severe contest was defeated, and having observed that the tioops retired from this attack in great confusion, and that the march of General Bulow's corps by iiuschermont upon Planchenorte and La Belle Alliance, had begun to ,ake effect, and as I could perceive the fire of his cannon, and as Marshal Prince Biucher had joined in person, with a corps of his army to the left of our line by Ohaim, I determined to attack the enemy, and immediately advanced the whole lille of infantry supported by the cavalry and artillery, The attack succeeded in every point the enemy Wets forced from his position on the heights and tied in the utmost confusion, leaving behind, him, as far as I could judge, one hundred and! fifty pieces of cauuon, with their ammunition, j 1 winch lull into our hands. I Continued the pur- sti;L t)[I lol-ig after dark, and then discontinued it only on accouut of the fatigue of our troops, I wlio been engaged during twelve hours, aud because I found myself then on the same road I with Marshal Biucher, who assured itte of his intei.tien to follow the enemy throughout the night'; he had taken sixty pieces of cannon be- j longing to the Imperial Guard, and several car- riages, baggage, &c. belonging to Bonaparte, in Genappe. I propose to move, this morning, upon Nivel- les, a.id not to discontinue my operations. Your Lordship will observe,that such a des- perate action could not be fought, and such ad- I vantages could not be gained, without greatness ¡ "ad 1 am sorry to add, that ours has been ioi ¡ liense. In Lieut. General Sir Thomas Picton, his Majesty has sustained Hie loss of an officer j >vho ha> frequently distinguished himself in his service, and he fell, gloriously leading his divi- sion to a charge with bayonets, by which one of j the mt"t serious attacks made by the enenly on our positiou, was defeated. The Karl of Ux- bridge, after having successfully got through this arduous day, received a wouiul by almost, the last shot fiied, which will, 1 am afraid, deprive his Majesty for some time of his services. I His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange dis- tinguished himself by his gallantry and conduct till he received a wound from a musket ball through the shoulder, which obliged himJto quit the field. If gives me the greatest satisfaction to assure your Lordship, that ihe avmjr, uever upon any occasion, conducted itself better. The division of guards under Lieut. Gen. Cooke, who is se- verely wounded Major Gen. Maifand and Major Gen. Byng, set an example which was followed by all; and there is no officer or description of troops, that did not behave well. I must, however, particularly mention, for his Royal Highness's approbation, Lieut. Gen. Sir H. Clinton, Major Gen Adam, Lieut. General Charles Baron Alten, severely wounded} "Iajor Gen, Sir Colin Halket, {severely wounded Cel.

Ponsonby, Gen. Sir C. Grant, and Major Gen. Sir H. Vivian; Major Gen Sir O. Van-leleur Major Gen. Count Oornberg.— I am .J1«O particularly indebted io General Lord Hill lor his assistance and conduct upon this as vpon ail for mer occasions. The artillery and engineer departments were conducted to jiy satisfy ion by Colonel Sir G. Wood, and Colonel Smyth and t had every rea SOli to be satisfied with the conduct of the Adjtl. tant General Major Gen. Sanies, .vho was wound- ed, and cf the Quaker Master General Colonel Delancey, who was killed hy acannOH shot inthe middle of the action. This officer is a serious loss to his Majesty's service, and to me at. this moment. I was likewise much indebted to the assistance of Lieut. Col. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, who was severely wounded, and 07 the officers composing my personal s aff, who have suffered severely in this action. Lieut. Col. the Hon. Sir Alexander Gordon, who has died of his wounds, was a most promising officer, and is a serious loss to his Majesty's service. General Kruse, of the Nassau service, likewise conducted himself much to my satisfaction, as did General commanding (he heavy brigade of cilvalry, and Gen. Vanhope, commanding a brigade of infantry of the King of the Nether- lands. Gen. Pozzo di Borgo, Gen. Baron Vincent, Gen. Muffling, and Gen. A!ava, were in the field during the action, and rendered me every assis- tance in their power. Baron Vincent Is wound- ed, but I hope not severely and Geo. Pozzo di Borgo received a contusion. I should no' do justice to my feelings, or to Marshal Blucher and the Prussian army, if t it i(i not attribute the successful result of this arduous day, to the cordial and timely assistance 1 re- ceived from them. The operation of General Bulow, upon the ene- my's flank, was a most decisive one and even if I had not found myself in a situation to make the attack, which produced the final result, it would have forced the enemy to retire, if his attacks' should have failed, and would have prevented him from taking advantage of them, if they should uolortiiflalesy have succeeded. I I send, with this dispatch, two eagles, taken by the troops in this action, which Major Percy will have the honour of laying at the feet of bis Royal Highness. I bee; leave to recommend him to your Lord- ship's protection, I have the liitioui-, &e. (Signed) WELLINGTON. P. S. Since. wri, ij-x the above. [ have received a report, that Major Gen. Sir W. Ponsonby is killed, and in announcing this intelligence to your Lordship, I have to add the expression of my grief for the fate of an officer, who had already rendered very brilliant and important services, and was all ornament to his profession. 2d P. S. I have not yet got the returns of kill- ed and wounded, but I enclose a list of Officers killed and wounded on the two days, as far as the same can be made out without the returns and I am very happy to add, that Col.

JEll! r, U It Tti, a ACCOIJNTS. Yesterday evening ail Aidde Camp of Prince h Bhicher arrived in lown, and brought letters from the Duke of Weilingion, duied Binch, June 20ih, io which place his Grace had re- noved his head quarters, after his visif, to Brussels on the preceding day • Marshal Blu- cher had 114cii passed the frontiers and entered France, in the direction of Beaumont, and hopes were entertained that he would be ahle to et round the French line of retreat, nnd II cut. off the remnant of the enemy's force,- The veteran and gallant Prussian Chief con- timied the pursuit most closely, and almost hourly succeeded io cutting off additional numbers of the vanquishedTyrant's troops. Bonaparte's retreat, or rather flight, was of I he most disorderly description Seven thous- and of the prisoners taken including two Ge nerals, one of them the Commander of the 6th corps, had been brought, into Brussels on the 20lh, and more than doubie thut number were I said to be then on the road. The whole of the 3d corps, commanded by Vandamme, was reported to have been cut off. It is also re- ported, but not officially, that Bonaparte lost all arm in the battle of the ISlh. This victory exceeds all former exploits of the army, and its glorious leader. The con- duct of the troops was above all praise, and more particularly as we are confidently assur ed that the force of the French was nearly J.S0,000, while that under the Duke of Wel- ¡¡'i4.'),l, a<lndcJy opposed to tLcm, ilS No computation from authori- ties" has yet been published of the I os on either side, hut from the reports of the Staff Officers who have arrived, that of the British is esti- mated at 10,000, and that of the French at 30,000, killed and wounded. The Horse Guards, it is understood, had the honour of capturing the two Eagles. The charges of the cavalry, particularly of the heavy brigade, consisting of the Blues, Greys, &c. are represented as one of the finest eXÎJ i hi,tions ever presented in a field of battle. After the first onset the French cavalry could I' not he brought to stand its ground. The Greys siif,"ered very sev. I its Co- re.y lonel (Hamilton) fell gloriously at its head, and the two Majors (Lieut.-Colonels Clarke and Hankin) are wounded. A letter fi-otii an Officer of the Guards, in the advance divisicui, dated the 20th, slates that on the 19th, while in progress of follow iag up the victory of the 18th, they were at- tacked by a parly of the French, issuing from a wood with great fury. The assailants were received with great firmness, and repulsed with considerable loss. We regret to find it stated that our loss 111 officers is still greater than was at first represented. Neatly the who! ofthos" of tile cotch Greyshane been killed or wound- en. Of the Life Guards, Colonel Ferrier, Captains Lindand Boye3 arc j mentioned as ec!. Of the Life Guards, Colonel Fcrrler, Captains Lind and Boye3 arc mentioned as killed. Lord Uxbridge* we are happy to be informed, was left doing wdl. HIS lady left I own last night for B-ruseels. His Lordship is to be succeeded in Ihe command oftce cavalry by Lord Rosslyn, who ili to let out irnmcdi- ately, accompanied by Sir Lowry Cole. Fridv, a Flanders mail arrived, with papers to the 2ist instant. They furnish us Tvith se- veral very important particulars of the laie victory in addition to those already laid be fore the public. The last accounts trom Brus- sels were sent off at four o'clock on Monday afternoon. Before the armies gaged on Sunday morning, we are toki, that Bonaparte addressed his soldiers in a speech, in which lie expressed a confident expectation, that he should be in Brussels that evoilitig and pro mised them three hours pillage in that city- These accounts concur with others in stating that the carnage was most dreadful, it was four o'c'ock in the afternoon of Sunday, whey liie Prussian reinforcements arrived ou the field of battle and it contributed to the vic- tory. Marsha! Biucher had three horses killed under him. An entire French corps was cut to pieces near a wood by a body of cavalry, of which the Queen's dragoons formed, a part, and behaved in the most gallant tT)-fAntier.- The whole of baggage, and even -rA tis private carriage* o;ili ihe carriage of the Duke ot Bassano (Maret), were taken.— Among the articles found in lie baggage.wers zv I all his plate, his correspondence, fhe order of., ihe black eagle, formerly given by the King of Prussia, and whoie bales of revolutionary Proclamation's, issued from the palace of Lai keii. The victory was decided at a spot called Lit Belle Alliance. The wreck pf the t French army was on Monday morning flving in the greatest disorder; they were pursued without a moment's respite by sixteen regi merits of cavalry, and whole corps were throw- in,, awiy their arms, in order to escape with greater esse. The cannon taken were said to amount to near 300, and the pLsonerSt we are told, exceed 13,000. It is slated that cue of Bonaparte's brothers was killed. This great victory isatlribtiied entirely to the genius of the immortal Wellington. The Austrians have entered Alsace, and the Swiss joined the Confederation with 40,000 taen. The Thanks of Parliament were voted to the Duke of Wellington, Prince Biucher, aud the Officers and Men of the dotnbined Army which obtaincd the glorious victory of the 18th of iiine nud a motloll was agreed to for an ad- ditional grant of 3^200,000, t i provide a suit tible mansion for the illustrious Duke. The proceeding was highly iiiierestii-, Parlia- j ment w is animated v ith but one soul, and the only rivalry was to do justice to the great j Hero, Some interesting particulars were quoted from private letters in the course of the proceedings. The lellers noted that the Duke was exposed to much personal danger- lhe particulars stated, as rcmarked by one of the writers," are precisely of Ihe kind that ftill not he found in the public dispatches."
