Norfolk Gazette And Publick Ledger

Extract, dated Brussels, June 19, 1815.

Couriers arrive in rapid succession—all bring further news of the defeat of the French army, the route of which is complete: whole corps threw away their arms to fly with the greater ease; 16 regiments of cavalry pursued them closely, and do not allow a moment's respite—10,000 Prussians have passed through Charleroi, in pursuit of the enemy; prince William of Prussia is arrived—he is going to the army.

June 20.—We are saved! a most memorable victory crowned the efforts of our armies!

Wellington is just arrived. There are 40,000 horse de combat on both sides. 200 pieces of cannon, 12 or 14,000 prisoners taken from the enemy; the whole of Bonaparte's guards destroyed; Vandamme hors de combat; one of Bonaparte's brothers killed; in short, we are all beside ourselves for joy! The brave Bulow has made a dreadful carnage with a corps of 12,000 cavalry. Bonaparte had promised his troops 3 hours pillage at Brussels.

Same date. The news continues to be most honorable for our armies. Our troops are still in pursuit of the enemy. Never was a victory more complete, or purchased at a more terrible price. We are assured that the Austrians have entered Alsace. —The Swiss have joined the confederation with 40,000 men. In short, we breathe; for the memorable days of the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th of June, placed us in a situation to be once more brought under their terrible government. We now may hope that all will end well, and that Europe will enjoy soon the peace so much desired.

Bonaparte's carriages, which the Prussians have taken, will be carried to Berlin.
