Majeity’s principal Secretary of
State tor the War Department, ot
which the following is a copy :
Waterloo , June 19, 1815.
My Loro,
Bonaparte having collected
the Ist, 2u, 3d, 4th, and 6th corpl
of the Jbrench army and the Impe
rial Guards, and nearly all the ca
valry on the Sambre, and between
that river and the Meule, between
the 10th and 14th of the month,
advanced on the 15th and attacked
the Pruilian polls at Thutn and
Lobez, on the Sambre, at daylight
in the morning.
I did not hear of thele events till
the evening of the 15th, and I im
mediately ordered the troops to
prepare to march; and afterwards
to march to their relief, as soon as
I had intelligence from other quar
ters to prove that the’ enemy’s
movements upon Charleroy was
the real attack.
The enemy drove the Prussian
posts from Sambre on that day; and
V Payable half yearly.
Gen. Ziden, who commanded the
corps which had been at Charleroy,
retired upon Fleurus ; and Marshal
Prince Blucher concentrated the
Prussian army upon Sambref, hold
ing the villages in front of his pe
tition of St. Amaqd and Ligny.
The enemy continued his march
along the road from Charleroy to
ward Bruxelles, and on the fame
evening, the 15th, attacked a bri
gade of the army of the Nether
lands, under th| Prince deWiemar,
polled at Frafne, and forced it back
to the farm-houfeon the fame road,
called Les Quartre Bras.
The Prince of Orange immedi
ately reinforced this brigade with
another of the fame divition, under
General Purpoucher, and in the
morning early regained part of the
ground which had been loft, so as
to have the command of the com
munication, leading from Nivells&
and Bruxelles, with Marshal Blu*
cher’s position.
In the mean time I had directed
the whole army to march upon
Les Quartre Bras, and the sth di
vision under Lt. Gen, Sir Thomas
Ptdon, arrived at about half past
two in the day, followed by the
corps ot troops under the duke of
Brunswick, and afterwards by the
cortringent of Naflau*
At this time the enemy com
menced an attack upon Prince Blu
cher with his whole force, except
ing the Ist and 2d corps and a
corps of Cavalry under Gen. Kel
lerman, with which he attacked
our post at Les Qartre Bras.
The Prussian (army maintained
their position with their usual gal
lantry and perseverance against a
great disparity of numbers, as the
4th corps of their army under Gen.
Bulow had not joined, and I was
not able to assist them as l wished,
as I was attacked myfelf, 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 re
pulsed all the enemy’s attempts to
get pofTcffion of it. The enemy
repeatedly attacked us with a large
body of infantry and cavalry, sup
ported by a numerous and power
ful artillery; he made several
charges with the cavalry upon our
infantry, but all were repulsed in
the steadiest manner. In this af
fair his royal highness the Prince
: of Orange, the Duke of Bruns
wick, and Lt. Gen. Sir T. Pidon,
sand Major General Sir Jas. Kempt,
and Sir Dennis Pack, who were
j engaged from the commencement
| of the enemy’s attack, highly dif
j tinguifhed themselves, as well as Lt.
Gen. Charles Baron Allen, Major
General Sir C. Halket, Lt. Gen.
Cooke, and Major Gens. Maitland
and Byng, as they successively ar
i l ived. t The troops of tne sth di
> vition, and those of the Brunswick
corps, were long and severely en
gage 4, and conduded themselves
with the utmost gallantry. I mult
particularly mention the 28th, 32d,
; 78th and 92d regiments, and thev
battalion of Hanoverians*
