Wellington was entrapped; and with the same co-operation on both sides he was lost beyond redemption. Had Blucher staid away as Grouchy did, or bad Grouchy come up as did Blucher, victory would once more have soared with the French -eagles. It is vain to talk of Grouchy's having obeyed orders.

The Prince of Orange commanded the centre, Hill the right, and Picton the left. The Prince of Orange, wild and intrepid, shouted to the Dutch Belgians: ~'Nassau Brunswick, never yield an inch." Hill, fearfully weakened, had just fallen back on Wellington. while Picton was dead. At the very moment when the English took from the French the flag of the 105th line regiment, the French killed General Picton with a bullet through the head. The battle had two bases for Wellington, Hougomont and La Haye Sainte. Hougomont still held out, though on fire, while La Haye Sainte was lost. Of the German battalion that de fended it, forty-two men only survived; all the officers but five were killed or taken prisoners. Three thousand combatants had been massacred in that focus; a sergeant of the English Guards, the first boxer of England, and reputed invenerable by his comrades, had been killed there by a little French drummer. Barny was dislodged, and Alten was sabred; several flags had been lost, one belonging to Al ten's division, and one to the Luxem bourg battalion, which was borne by a Prince of the Deux-ponts family. The Scotch Greys no longer existed; Ponsonby's heavy dragoons were cut to pieces--this brave cavalry had given way before the Lancers of Rex and the Cuirassiers of Traver. Of 12,000 sabres, only 600 remained; of three Lieutenant-Colonels, two were kissing the ground, Hamilton wounded, and Mather killed. Ponsonby had fallen, pierced by seven lance wounds; Gordon was dead, March was dead, and two divisions, the Fifth and Sixth, were destroyed. Hougomont attacked, La Haye Sainte taken; there was only one knot left, the centre, which still held out. Wellington rein forced it; he called in Hill from Merbe-Braine and Chase from Braine l'Alleud. The centre of the English army, which was slightly concave, very dense and compact, was strongly situated; it occupied the plateau of Mont St. Jean, having the village behind it, and before it the slope, which at that time was rather steep. It was supported by that strong stone house, which at that period was a domaillial property of Nivelles, standing at the cross-road, and an edifice dating fr0111 the 16th century, so robw;;t that the cannon-balls rebounded without doing any injury.

The peril of this position was the forest of Soignies, at that time contiguous to the battle-field, and inte~rsected by the ponds of Groenendael and Boitsford. An army could not have fallen back into it without being dissolved, regiments would have been broken up at once, and the artillery lost in the marshes. The retreat, according to the opinion of several professional men, contradicted, it is true, by others, would have been a flight. Wellington added to this centre a brigade of Chase's removed from the :6~ht wing, one of Wicke's from the left wing, and Clinton's division. He gave his English-Halkett's regiments, Mitchell's brigade, and Maitland's guards-as epaulments and counterforts, the Brunswick infantry, the Nassau contigent, Kielmansegge's Hanoverians, and Ompte da's Germans. He had thus twenty-six battalions under his hand; as Charras says, H the right wing deployed behind the centre."

This work was not finished, as there was not time to palisade it. Wellington, restless but impassive, was mounted, and remained for the whole day in the same attitude, a little in front of the old mill of Mont St. Jean, which still exists, and under an elm tre~ which an Englishman, an enthusiastical Vandal, afterwards bought for 200 francs, cut down and carried away. Wellington was coldly heroic; there was a shower of' cannon-balls, and his aid-de-camp Gordon was killed by his side.

I am doing," 'Wellington answered. To Clinton he said, laconically, H Hold out here to the last man." The day was eventually turning out badly. Napoleon, though ill and suffering on horseback from a local injury, had never been so good tempered as on this day. From the morning his impenetrability had been smiling, and on June 18, 1815, this profound FBANR S RELLY soul coated with granit, was radiant. The men who had been sombre at (FOliMERLY WITH H. B.

The rain became twice as violent, and it thundered while' the Emperor was speaking. At 3 :30 he lost on illusion; officers sent to reconnoitre informed him that the enemy was making no movement. Nothing was stiring, not a single bivouac fire was extinguished, and the English army was sleeping. The silence was profound on earth, and there was only noise in the heavens. At 4 o'clock a peasant was brought to him by the scouts; this peasant had served as a guide to a brigade of English cavalry, probably Vivian's, which had taken up a position on the extreme left in the village of Ohain. At 5 o'clock two Belgian deserters informed him that they had just left their regiment, and the Engli~h army meant fighting. "All the better," cried Napoleon, " I would sooner crush them than drive them back." * * * At 9 o'clock, the moment when the French army, echelonned and moving in five columns, began to deploy, the divisions in these two lines, the artillery between, the bands in front, drums rattling and bugles bray ing-a powerful, mighty, joyous army, a sea of bayonets and helmets on the horizon, the Emperor, much affected, twice exclaimed; H Magnificent! magnificent !"
