"The Duke of WELLINGTON's Dispatch, dated Waterloo, the 19th of June, states, that on the preceding day BUONAPARTE attacked, with his whole force, the British line, supported by a corps of Prussians : which attack, after a long and sanguinary conflict, terminated in the complete Overthrow of the Enemy's Army, with the loss of ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY PIECES of CANNON and TWO EAGLES. During the night, the Prussians under Marshall BLUCHER, who joined in the pursuit of the enemy, captured SIXTY GUNS, and a large part of BUONAPARTE's BAGGAGE. The Allied Armies continued to pursue the enemy. Two French Generals were taken."

The official bulletin from Downing Street as reported in The Times on 22nd June 1815. In many ways more interesting, I find, is the half page the newspaper devoted to reporting the previous day's Commons' debate on military punishments. Also, this small selection of adverts is slightly diverting.
