Despatch from the Duke ofWellingtonto EarlBathurst.
Waterloo, June 19, 1815.
My Lord,—Bonaparte having collected the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Sixth Corps of the French Army and the Imperial Guards, and nearly all the Cavalry, on the Sambre, and between that river and the Meuse, between the 10th and 14th of the month, advanced on the 15th, and attacked the Prussian Posts at Thuin and Lobez, on the Sambre, at daylight in the morning.
I did not hear of these events till the evening of the 15th, and I immediately ordered the troops to prepare to march; and afterwards to march to their left, as soon as I had intelligence from other quarters, to prove that the Enemy's movement upon Charleroi was the real attack.
The Enemy drove the Prussian Posts from the Sambre on that day; and GeneralZieten, who commanded the Corps which had been at Charleroi, retired upon Fleurus; and Marshal PrinceBlücherconcentrated the Prussian Army upon Sombref, holding the Villages, in front of his position, of St Amand and Ligny.
The Enemy continued his march along the road from Charleroi towards Bruxelles, and on the same evening, the 15th, attacked a Brigade of the Army of the Netherlands, under the Princede Weimar, posted at Frasne, and forced it back to the Farm House on the same road, called Les Quatre Bras.
The Prince ofOrangeimmediately reinforced this Brigade with another of the same Division, under GeneralPerponcher, and in the morning early regained part of the ground which had been lost, so as to have command of the communication leading from Nivelles and Bruxelles, with MarshalBlücher's position.
In the mean time I had directed the whole Army to march upon Les Quatre Bras; and the Fifth Division, under Lieutenant General SirThomas Picton, arrived about half past two in the day, followed by the Corps of troops under the Duke ofBrunswick, and afterwards by the contingent of Nassau.
At this time the Enemy commenced an attack upon PrinceBlücherwith his whole force; excepting the First and Second Corps, and a Corps of Cavalry under GeneralKellermann, with which he attacked our Posts at Les Quatre Bras.
The Prussian Army maintained their position with their usual gallantry and perseverance, against a great disparity of numbers, as the Fourth Corps of their Army, under GeneralBülow, had not yet joined, and I was not able to assist them as I wished, as I was attacked myself, and the troops, the Cavalry in particular, which had a long distance to march, had not arrived.
We maintained our position also, and completely defeated and repulsed all the Enemy's attempts to get possession of it. The Enemy repeatedly attacked us with a large body of Infantry and Cavalry, supported by a numerous and powerful Artillery; he made several charges with the Cavalry upon our Infantry, but all were repulsed in the steadiest manner. In this affair His Royal Highness the Prince ofOrange, the Duke ofBrunswick, and Lieutenant General SirThomas Picton, and Major General SirJames Kempt, and SirDenis Pack, who were engaged from the commencement of the Enemy's attack, highly distinguished themselves, as well as Lieutenant GeneralCharles Baron Alten, Major General SirC. Halkett, Lieutenant GeneralCooke, and Major GeneralsMaitlandandByng, as they successively arrived. The troops of the Fifth Division, and those of the Brunswick Corps were long and severely engaged, and conducted themselves with the utmost gallantry. I must particularly mention the 28th, 42nd, 79th, and 92nd Regiments, and the Battalions of Hanoverians.
Our loss was great, as your Lordship will perceive by the enclosed return; and I have particularly to regret His Serene Highness the Duke ofBrunswick, who fell fighting gallantly at the head of his troops.
Although MarshalBlücherhad maintained his position at Sombref, he still found himself much weakened by the severity of the contest in which he had been engaged; and as the Fourth Corps had not arrived, he determined to fall back, and concentrate his Army upon Wavre; and he marched in the night after the action was over.
This movement of the Marshal's rendered necessary a corresponding one on my part; and I retired from the Farm of Quatre Bras upon Genappe, and thence upon Waterloo the next morning, the 17th, at ten o'clock.
The Enemy made no effort to pursue MarshalBlücher. On thecontrary, a Patrol which I sent to Sombref in the morning, found all quiet, and the Enemy's Videttes fell back as the Patrol advanced. Neither did he attempt to molest our march to the rear, although made in the middle of the day; excepting by following with a large body of Cavalry, brought from his Right, the Cavalry under the Earl ofUxbridge.
This gave LordUxbridgean opportunity of charging them with the 1st Life Guards, upon their debouch from the Village of Genappe; upon which occasion his Lordship has declared himself to be well satisfied with that Regiment.
The position which I took up in the front of Waterloo, crossed the high roads from Charleroi and Nivelle, and had its Right thrown back to a ravine near Merke Braine, which was occupied; and its Left extended to a Height above the Hamlet Ter la Haye, which was likewise occupied.—In front of the Right Centre, and near the Nivelle road, we occupied the House and Garden of Hougomont, which covered the return of that Flank; and in the front of the Left Centre we occupied the Farm of La Haye Sainte. By our left we communicated with Marshal PrinceBlücherat Wavre through Ohaim; and the Marshal had promised me, that in case we should be attacked he would support me with one or more Corps, as might be necessary.
The Enemy collected his Army, with the exception of the Third Corps, which had been sent to observe MarshalBlücher, on a range of Heights in our front, in the course of the night of the 17th and yesterday morning: and at about ten o'clock he commenced a furious attack upon our Post at Hougomont. I had occupied that Post with a Detachment from GeneralByng's Brigade of Guards, which was in position in its rear; and it was for some time under the command of Lieutenant ColonelMacdonel, and afterwards of ColonelHome; and I am happy to add, that it was maintained throughout the day with the utmost gallantry by these brave troops, notwithstanding the repeated efforts of large bodies of the Enemy to obtain possession of it.
This attack upon the Right of our Centre was accompanied by a very heavy cannonade upon our whole Line, which was destined to support the repeated attacks of Cavalry and Infantry occasionally mixed, but sometimes separate, which were made upon it. In one of these the Enemy carried the Farm House of La Haye Sainte; as the Detachment of the Light Battalion of the Legion which occupied it, had expended all its ammunition, and the Enemy occupied the only communication there was with them.
The Enemy repeatedly charged our Infantry with his Cavalry, but these attacks were uniformly unsuccessful; and they afforded opportunities to our Cavalry to charge, in one of which, LordE. Somerset's Brigade, consisting of the Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, and 1st Dragoon Guards, highly distinguished themselves, as did that of Major General SirW. 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 troops retired from this attack in great confusion, and that the march of GeneralBülow's Corps by Euschermont upon Planchenoit and La Belle Alliance had begun to take effect, and as I could perceive the fire of his cannon, and as Marshal PrinceBlücherhad 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 Line of Infantry, supported by the Cavalry and Artillery.
The attack succeeded in every point; the Enemy was forced from his position on the Heights, and fled in the utmost confusion; leaving behind him, as far as I could judge, one hundred and fifty pieces of cannon, with their ammunition, which fell into our hands. I continued the pursuit till long after dark, and then discontinued it only on account of the fatigue of our troops, who had been engaged during twelve hours, and because I found myself on the same road with MarshalBlücher, who assured me of his intention to follow the Enemy throughout the night; he has sent me word this morning that he has taken sixty pieces of cannon belonging to the Imperial Guard, and several carriages, baggage, &c., belonging toBuonaparte, in Genappe.
I propose to move, this morning, upon Nivelles, and not to discontinue my operations.
Your Lordship will observe, that such a desperate action could not be fought, and such advantages could not be gained, without great loss; and I am sorry to add that ours has been immense. In Lieutenant General SirThomas Picton, His Majesty has sustained the loss of an Officer who has frequently distinguished himself in his Service, and he fell gloriously leading his Division to a charge with bayonets, by which one of the most serious attacks made by the Enemy on our position was defeated. The Earl ofUxbridge, after having successfully got throughthis arduous day, received a wound by almost the last shot fired; which will, I am afraid, deprive His Majesty for some time of his services.
His Royal Highness the Prince ofOrangedistinguished himself by his gallantry and conduct till he received a wound from a musket ball through the shoulder, which obliged him to quit the Field.
It gives me the greatest satisfaction to assure your Lordship, that the Army never, upon any occasion, conducted itself better. The Division of Guards, under Lieutenant GeneralCooke(who is severely wounded), Major GeneralMaitland, and Major GeneralByng, set an example which was followed by all; and there is no Officer nor description of troops, that did not behave well.
I must, however, particularly mention, for His Royal Highness's approbation, Lieutenant General SirH. Clinton, Major GeneralAdam, Lieutenant GeneralCharles Baron Alten, severely wounded; Major General SirColin Halkett, severely wounded; ColonelOmpteda, ColonelMitchell, commanding a Brigade of the Fourth Division; Major General SirJames Kemptand SirDenis Pack, Major GeneralLambert, Major General LordE. Somerset, Major General SirW. Ponsonby, Major General SirC. Grant, and Major General SirH. Vivian; Major General SirO. Vandeleur; Major General CountDörnberg. I am particularly indebted to General LordHillfor his assistance and conduct upon this as upon all former occasions.
The Artillery and Engineer departments were conducted much to my satisfaction by Colonel SirG. Woodand ColonelSmyth; and I had every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of the Adjutant General Major GeneralBarnes, who was wounded; and of the Quartermaster General ColonelDelancy, who was killed by a cannon shot in the 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 Lieutenant Colonel LordFitzroy Somerset, who was severely wounded; and of the Officers composing my personal Staff, who have suffered severely in this action. Lieutenant Colonel the Hon. SirAlexander Gordon, who has died of his wounds, was a most promising Officer, and is a serious loss to His Majesty's Service.
GeneralKruseof the Nassau Service, likewise conducted himself much to my satisfaction; as did GeneralTrip, commanding the Heavy Brigade of Cavalry, and GeneralVanhope, commanding a Brigade of Infantry of the King of theNetherlands.
GeneralPozzo di Borgo, General BaronVincent, GeneralMüffling, and GeneralAlava, were in the Field during the action, and renderedme every assistance in their power. BaronVincentis wounded, but I hope not severely; and GeneralPozzo di Borgoreceived a contusion.
I should not do justice to my feelings, or to MarshalBlücherand the Prussian Army, if I did not attribute the successful result of this arduous day to the cordial and timely assistance I received from them.
The operation of GeneralBülowupon the Enemy'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 unfortunately have succeeded.
I send, with this despatch, two Eagles taken by the troops in this action; which MajorPercywill have the honour of laying at the feet of His Royal Highness.
I have the honour, &c.,Wellington.

RUPERT PRINCE PALATINE.
By EVA SCOTT.
Late Scholar of Somerville College, Oxford.
With Photogravure frontispiece.
New and cheaper Edition.Large Crown 8vo, 6s.
"The book is well written in a good style, is throughout most moderate and accurate, and is a worthy record of the gallant and true-hearted Rupert of the Rhine."—Literature.
"This well-illustrated and well-printed book is a very distinct addition to our historical biographies. It is strange that no serious life of the gallant Prince Rupert should have been written till now, but no one could have written with fuller knowledge or more genuine enthusiasm than Miss Eva Scott. She has ignored few if any of the manifold sources of information, printed and manuscript, from which the chequered history of the great soldier can be gleaned, and the result of work which must have been both assiduous and intelligent is a really admirable and complete historical study."—Guardian.
"A final word as to this book itself. It is well got up, well indexed, and well illustrated. There is a preface which gives a general view of the material used, and a series of careful footnotes that will aid the student."—Prof. Yorke Powell in theMorning Post.
"Miss Scott, on the other hand, has not only made herself familiar with Rupert and his surroundings, but is possessed of—what is seldom to be found—a rare talent for biographical presentment. Not only is there no overburdening of the narrative with documentary evidence, but everything of that nature which is introduced strengthens the author's argument instead of distracting the attention of the reader."—Mr. S.R. Gardiner in theEnglish Historical Review.
"Though she properly makes a hero of Rupert, she is never blind to his failings nor does she extol his virtues without the warrant of documentary evidence. In brief, her monograph is a well-considered, impartial piece of work."—Spectator.

THE HOUSEHOLDOF THE LAFAYETTES.
By EDITH SICHEL.
With Photogravure frontispiece.
New Popular Edition.Large Crown 8vo, 6s.
"In the 'Household of the Lafayettes' Miss Sichel has given a very vivid and picturesque study of French life during the revolutionary period, mainly from the political and social point of view. Her style is on the whole well suited to her subject.... The book is a fascinating one, and of far greater interest than the majority of novels. We are carried along from chapter to chapter in very good company, and on very easy wings."—Morning Post.
"Miss Sichel possesses a lively and agreeable style, characterized by a refreshing absence of stock phrases. She does not disgust us with the obvious, or harass us with the unexpected; and her general observations—always a good test of an author's wits—are shrewd and happily expressed."—Pall Mall Gazette.
"The conversations between the First Consul and the General reproduced in this most interesting chapter of an interesting book shed the most instructive light on the character of two of the greatest, probably the greatest Frenchmen that either century had produced. In her laborious and sympathetic biography of the lesser of the two Miss Sichel has evolved a work which for picturesque yet faithful detail, should rank highly among the records of the most eventful period in French History."—Observer.
"We should have liked to quote many passages, picturesque touches of daily life, remarks of real political insight, clear views of the people and the tendencies of the age. But we must reserve space for a few words about Miss Sichel's introduction, which is one of the best and truest pieces of writing that we have met with for a long time."—Spectator.
The Kingdom of the Yellow Robe
Being Sketches of the Domestic and Religious Rites and Ceremonies of the Siamese.
By ERNEST YOUNG.
Fully Illustrated byE.A. Norbury, R.C.A.and from Photographs.
New Popular Edition.Large Crown 8vo, 6s.
"A pleasantly written little book, popular and light in style. The author, who was connected with the Siamese Education Department, is at his best in the first few chapters, wherein he describes the scenes of the city and the domestic life of the people. His educational duties enabled him to note some specially interesting facts with regard to the extraordinary aptness and intelligence which Siamese children as a rule display...."—Times.
"Of the quaint courtship customs in the strange land where there are no old maids, and of many other curious things, we have, alas! no room to tell. It is with a feeling of regret that we put down this pleasant book, and take leave of so charming and interesting a people as that which inhabits the land of the Yellow Robe. The book is fully illustrated by Mr. E.A. Norbury and from photographs, which add greatly to its interest. It is a book to be read both for entertainment and instruction."—St. James's Budget.
"Here is a book of which I can speak with unstinted praise. It is not often that I find myself longing to get back to any book, unless it be a novel of extraordinary power; but I had this sensation with regard to this volume. It is a book difficult to drop from the first moment it is taken in hand, and one to which the reader returns with real delight. It is partly, one must admit, because there is much fascination in the subject, but it is also because the narrative is so simple, lucid, satisfying."—T.P. O'Connor in theGraphic.

"A high place among these books of climbing which appeal to many who cannot climb, as well as to all who can, will be taken by the very pleasant volume 'The Alps from End to End.'"—The Times.
"There is, perhaps, not another living Alpinist—unless we except Mr. Coolidge who contributes a valuable précis of the topography—who could have combined the requisite knowledge with physical capacity for the task.... Sir William Conway's book is as vivid as it is charming.... Mr. M'Cormick's illustrations are, indeed, so vivid that many will be tempted to follow 'The Alps from End to End.'"—Standard.
"The amount of variety Mr. M'Cormick can secure in a series of pictures, whose component parts of sky, snow, rock, and ice, must be seen to be believed."—Daily Chronicle.

"This book, in which Major Waddell sets forth the results of his investigation of the Himalayas, will be appreciated by geographers as a valuable contribution to our limited knowledge of a little-explored region. With the exception of Hooker, no European has got nearer to Mount Everest than the author, and his observations of this and the adjacent peaks, in combination with the admirable photographs that he provides, form a feature of the work that deserves special attention."—Morning Post.
