_Oh for the thousands of Those who have perished_
_By elements blasted, unvanquished by man_--
_Then the hope which till now I have fearlessly cherished_,
_Had waved o'er thine eagles in Victory's van_.--[MS.]

[320] ["All wept, but particularly Savary, and a Polish officer who had
been exalted from the ranks by Buonaparte. He clung to his master's
knees; wrote a letter to Lord Keith, entreating permission to accompany
him, even in the most menial capacity, which could not be
admitted."--_Private Letter from Brussels._]

[321] ["At Waterloo one man was seen, whose left arm was shattered by a
cannon-ball, to wrench it off with the other, and, throwing it up in the
air, exclaimed to his comrades, 'Vive l'Empereur, jusqu'a la mort!'

by R. S. ---- P. L. P. R., Master of the Royal Spanish Inqn., etc.,

_Poems_ and _Odes_ on the famous Battle of Waterloo, as well as
ourselves. Nay, they seem to glory in the battle as the source of great
events to come. We have received the following poetical version of a
poem, the original of which is circulating in Paris, and which is
ascribed (we know not with what justice) to the Muse of M. de
Chateaubriand. If so, it may be inferred that in the poet's eye a new
change is at hand, and he wishes to prove his secret indulgence of old
principles by reference to this effusion."--Not
