Force commanded by Napoleon and Ney at Ligny and Quatre At Ligny. Bras, on March 16th. Infantry, 53.500 At Quatre Bras. Infantry, 32,320 Cavalry, 12,730 Cavalry, 7,710 Artillery, 2,170 This is the statement given by Gourgaud; but there can be no doubt it is below the truth, as Ney's corps set down here (the first) as only 18,640 men, was stated by Ney himself, shortly after the battle, to have amounted to between 25,000 and 30,000. And as Gourgaud himself states the force with which Napoleon crossed the frontier at 122,464 men, it is evident that the force which fought at Waterloo must have been at least 80,000 men.-See NEY's Letter to FOUCHE, June 26, 1815.-Given in JONES' Battle of Waterloo, 262.
