London Gazette Extraordinary Downing Street , June 22, 1815. Major tuc lion. H. Percy arrived last night with a tielpatch from Field fviarlhall the Duke of Wel lington K.. B to Earl Bathertt, his 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* [Number 33.
