AUSTRIAN ORDER OF THE DAY.

Carlsrhue, Head-quarters, June 24. "Soldiers of the Austrian Army of the Rhine!

"Napoleon, whose ambitious plans, and lust of conquest, armed all Europe against him, was conquered by you and your Allies. Returning from the exile into which the generosity of the victors had sent him, he again attacks the repose, the welfare, the peace, the security of all States; provokes, by his guilty arrogance, the armies of United Europe to combat for the inviolability of their frontiers, the honour of their country, the happiness of their fellow-citizens→→→ these most sacred of all possessions, which this man, to whom no thing is sacred, and who has become the scourge of humanity, has been attacking and endeavouring to destroy for so many years. Thus, brave soldiers of the Austrian army, a new and vast career of glory is opened to you. I know that you will distinguish it by new vic tories, and that your new deeds in arms will render still more dear to me the proud satisfaction of calling myself your General. It is as honourable to you as agreeable to me, that I have only to recal the remembrance of your ancient exploits to animate you to new ones. The victories of Culm, Leipsic, Brienne, and Paris, are so many illustrious garlands that crown your standards; continue worthy of your glory by combating, as you did formerly, and by adding fresh laurels to those you have already gained.

"Great things have been already performed; your brethren in Italy have, with their arms, opened themselves a way into the heart of the enemy's country, and their victorious banners wave in the capital of the kingdom of Naples. Those in Flanders, gained, on the 18th inst. one of the most memorable victories recorded in history. Those victorious armies have their eyes fixed upon you, and summon you to similar exploits. Let the recollection of what you have been on so many a hard-fought day-let the feeling of what you owe to yourselves animate you to become constantly more worthy of your ancient glory, by combatting for your Emperor, your honour, and your country. "SCHWARTZENBERG, Field Marshal.”

BAVARIAN ORDER OF THE DAY.

Soldiers! in three days you have marched from the Rhine, in hopes of contributing to the operations of the allied armies in the Netherlands. These victorious armies have anticipated you. A great and decisive victory crowned their efforts in the battle of the 18th. It is now for us and the allied armies on the Upper Rhine, to annihilate the enemy's corps which oppose us. Soldiers! to-morrow we attack the enemy; march against him with courage and perseverance. His Royal Highness our Crown Prince is among us; his Royal Highness his younger brother is with the van-guard. The Crown Prince will be witness to your actions. Honour and protect the property of the peaceable French inhabitants; it is not upon them that we make war: it is against Napoleon and his adherents that our swords are drawn. Come on, then, against him and them? Come on, then, for King and Country, for our Allies, and for Germany!

BAVARIAN PROCLAMATION.

Frenchmen! the manner in which we, yesterday, entered your country, may prove to you that we are not the enemies of the peaceable inhabitants. I have pardoned even such of your fellow-countrymen as have been taken with arms in their hands, and also might have been deservedly shot as banditti. But, considering that these armed ruffians, who scour the country under the name of free corps, to plunder their fellow-citizens, are a scourge which Bonaparte has brought upon France, which has been already made sufficiently unhappy by the unbounded ambition of this enemy of the repose and happiness of the world. I command,

I. That every one who belongs to these free corps, or is taken with arms in his hands, without belonging to the troops of the line, and wearing their uniform, shall be brought before a court martial, and shot in twenty-four hours.

H. That every town or commune, in which any of the allies shall be murdered, shall be punished; for the first offence, the town with a contribution of 200,000 francs, and the village one of 50,000. On a repetition of the offence, the town, or village, shall be plundered and burnt....

III.: Within twenty-four hours after the entrance of the allied armies, every town, or commune, shall deliver up its arms and military effects at the chief place of the prefecture or subprefecture.

IV. Every town, or commune, in which, twenty-four hours after the entrance of the allied troops, arms or military effects shall be found, shall pay a contribution, the town of 200,000, the village of 50,000 francs. The house of the owner of these arms, shall be plundered and pulled down, and the owner brought before a courtmartial, and shot in twenty-four hours. If the owner of the arms should have absconded, his family, or the mayor, or the principal inhabitants, shall be punished in a military manner, as protectors of highwaymen.

Frenchmen! make yourselves easy. Our victorious armies will not disturb the repose of the peaceable citizen. Europe has taken up arms again only to conquer, for itself and for you, the peace and the happiness of which a single usurper threatens to rob it for the second time.

Given at my head-quarters, at Sargemines, 24th June, 1815. Field Marshal Prince WREDE.

RUSSIAN PROCLAMATION.

"Frenchmen!-Europe, united at the Congress of Vienna, has informed you of your true interests, by the acts of the 13th of March and the 12th of May. It comes in arms to prove to you that it has not spoken in vain. It desires peace; it has need of it; it must be confirmed by its amicable relations with you: it can have none, it never can have any, with the man who pretends to govern you. A fatal infatuation may have made the French soldier forget for a moment the laws of honour, and have extorted a perjury from him. An ephemeral power, supported by all kinds of illusion, may have misled some Magistrates into the paths of error. But this power totters, soon it will wholly disappear. The combined army of the North convinced you of it on the day of the 18th of June; our armies are marching to convince you of it in their turn.

"Frenchmen, it is still time!-Reject the man who, again chaining all your liberties to his car, threatens social order, and brings into your native country all nations in arms. Be restored to your selves, and all Europe salutes you as friends, and offers you peace. It does more:-From this moment, it considers all Frenchmen, who are not ranged under the standards of Bonaparte, and who do not adhere to his cause, as friends. We have consequently the order to protect them, to leave them the peaceable enjoyment of what they possess, and to support the laudable efforts which they shall make to replace France in the relative situation which the Treaty of Paris had re-established between her and all the European Nations.

God, justice, the wishes of all nations second us. Frenchmen, come to meet us; our cause is yours; your happiness, your glory, your power, are still necessary to the happiness, the glory, and the power of the nations who are going to combat for you.

(Signed) "Marshal Count BARCLAY DE TOLLY. "Head-quarters, Oppenheim, June 23."

THE DUTCH ORDER OF THE DAY.

Brussels, June 27.

"His Majesty, informed by my reports of the glorious victories to which you have contributed, with so much bravery and fidelity, has charged me with the commission equally agreeable and flattering to my heart, to testify to you, my Fellow-citizens, his entire satis faction with your conduct in the several actions that have taken place. I cannot give you, brave warriors of the Netherlands, a stronger proof of the approbation of our beloved and august Sove reign, than by making you acquainted with the tenor of the letter which his Majesty has addressed to me, and which is conceived in these terms:

"The Hague, June 24.

"Your reports of the 17th and 22d inst. have given me inexpressible satisfaction.

"As a sovereign and a father I doubly feel the joy which the happy result of so many obstinate combats has generally excited, for I have the certainty, that my troops have had a glorious share in them, and have seen, in the Son of their Prince, a brave example of the most dangerous duties they have to perform.

"I desire that you will acquaint, with my complete satisfaction, all the brave warriors of the Netherlands, who fought under your command at Quatre Bras, and at La Belle Alliance. Tell them, that all their fellow-countrymen have their eyes fixed on them with admiration and gratitude, and are proud of the firmness and courage which they have displayed. Let them know, that the blood they have shed has irrevocably effaced the last doubt that might have subsisted on the solidity of this new kingdom, and the union of its inhabitants. Assure them, that they shall always have in me a true friend of their noble profession, and a protector of valour and of all military merit.

Do you yourself find the reward of your devotion, and an alleviation of your wounds in the honour of being to the brave warriors of the Netherlands, the organ of the sentiments consecrated to them by their King and country. WILLIAM."

(Signed)

66

"Continue then, my countrymen, to walk in the path of honour, your King acknowledges your services, and the country honours you. As for me, I feel my wounds only because they keep me for a time at a distance from you. My most ardent desire is to join you, again to combat the common enemy, and bravely to lavish our blood and our lives for the King and country.

(Signed)

"WILLIAM Prince of Orange."

THE SWISS PROCLAMATION.

GENERAL ORDER ADDRESSED TO COL. D'AFFRY, COMMANDANT OF DIVISION, AT BASLE.

"Switzerland, faithful to its old principles, had declared itself for the defence of its frontiers. A Convention with the Powers armed for the restoration of the repose of Europe consecrated this declaration. On the part of Switzerland no hostile step was taken against multiplied offences. The communications with Switzerland were intercepted without previous notice, and dispositions made for attack. In the mean time, the flower of the French, commanded by Napoleon Bonaparte, was completely routed, on the plains of Flanders, by Wellington and Blucher.

"When Bonaparte had brought to Paris the news of his own defeat, and it was seen that they could no longer shake the torches of war over all Europe, but that the avengers of perjury, and of the rupture of peace, would advance without halting, the authors of those calamities endeavoured to avert their consequences by a stroke of the pen. Bonaparte again renounced that throne, after having, fifteen months before, formally abandoned, for himself and his posterity, that bloody sceptre of iron with which he had so long oppressed Europe. At that moment, his Generals sent heralds to the right bank, and to the centre of our army, to ask a suspension of arms, though no hostilities had yet taken place. While this request, accompanied by a promise that nothing hostile should be undertaken against us, was transmitted to the authorities of the confederation, on the same day, the 28th, in the evening, all at once, against the lav of nations, without any reason, the fortress of Huningen bombarded the town of Basle, thus breaking their word of honour, always held sacred by brave soldiers, and attacking the Swiss territory by the mischief they have inflicted on our confederates of Basle.

"Soldiers, arm to punish the authors of injustice. We must watch that no part of our frontiers be violated by an enemy without faith. Call to mind the invasion of 1798; the atrocity of bombarding a town without its being besieged, without notification, and without cause, is a repetition of the same perfidy. We must put it out of the power of such an enemy to injure us; therefore, comrades' prepare to combat for justice and honour, for liberty and country. May God bless the powerful confederation, of which we form a part, and to which the most sacred duty attaches us.

"BACHMANN,

"General in Chief of the Confederation,

Head-quarters, at Berne, June 29, 1815."

BLUCHER'S FAREWELL TO THE BRAVE BELGIANS. · Marshal Prince Blucher to the brave Belgians.

"My army being on the point of entering the French territory, we cannot leave you, brave Belgians! without bidding you farewell, and without expressing our lively gratitude for the hospitality which you have shown to our soldiers. We have had an opportunity of appreciating your virtues. You are a brave, a loyal, and a noble people. At the moment when danger seemed to threaten you, we were called to give you aid: we hastened to obey the call, and it was much against our will that we found ourselves compelled, by circumstances, to wait so long for the commencement of the contest, which we should have been glad to see begin sooner. The presence of our troops have been burdensome to your country; but we have paid, with our blood, the debt of gratitude which we owed you, and a paternal government will find means to indemnify such among you as have suffered the most by the quartering of our troops.

"Adieu, brave Belgians! The remembrance of the hospitable reception you have afforded us, as well as the recollection of your virtues, will be eternally engraven on our hearts. May the God of peace protect your fine country! May he remove from it, for a long period, the troubles of war! May you be as happy as you deserve to be!

Farewell!

"BLUCHER."

"Head-quarters, Marbes le Chateau, June 21st, 1815."

From the Duke of Wellington, to the Mayor of Brussels. Paris, August 13th, 1815.

MR. MAYOR,

I take this opportunity to write to you, in order to thank you to request you to make known my gratitude to the inhabitants of Brussels and the environs, for the care and kindness they have shown to the wounded officers and soldiers of the army under my command.* The services which we have had in our power to render the city of Brussels, in saving it from the hands of a cruel enemy, by the efforts that have been made, and by the bravery of the troops, almost under its very walls, give us reason to hope that the

* The acts of humanity of the inhabitants of Brussels, if particularized, would occupy many pages. But it ought not to be left unknown, the signal service of the Mayor on this occasion ;he literally and figuratively gave wine and beer when water was required. An inhabitant, of the name of Troyaux, made his whole establishment a complete hospital, finding, without any previous consideration for remuneration, every possible comfort and subsistence for the unfortunate needing his kindnesses. A female, who had realized a little independence by selling lace, lodged and relieved the distresses of a great many. The fair sex, indiscriminately, in high or low circumstances, were animated with the most solicitous attention. The regard of these brave people towards the English, was brotherly and affectionate; and many of the inhabitants went to find our countrymen in the field, and brought them to their homes; and crowds met them on the road with refreshments of every kind.
