The house where the Duke lodged with the Mayor, Joseph Parmentier, is absolutely untouched the quarters of the Third Hussars, the First Battalion of the York Regiment, and the gallant Fifty- second, can still be pointed out. The honest Enghienois LOVED THE ENGLISH more thain the Hanoverians and the Prus- sians, though there lives one very old man, the octogenarian Suisse of the church, who saw an English soldier flogged for theft out- 1 side the town gate. Joseph Le Maitre still wears the gold ear-rings in vogue at the beginning of the century, and he has not yet finally resigned his ecclesiastical functions. He saw both Wellington and Blucher in the streets of Enghien, and often heard from the lips of his friend Paternots, the postilion who drove them to Grammont, how the Marshal prod- ded him with his sword when he hesitated to go quickly down a steep slope. Le Maitre, then a boy of fourteen, laid himself down on the turf in the Due d'Arenberg's park to hear the echoes of the cannon, but he says nothing impressed him so much as the pro- found silence which followed the last shot. He M-itnessed the departure of the troops for Braine-le-Conte iu the dead of n ght, and lie used to play with the two soldiers billeted on his father. The survivors anl contemporaries of Waterloo are more difficult to find in Belgium than in England. A solitary Belgian veteran â€" J. Desmedt- of Ghent â€" answered to Gen. Van Merlen's roll call, but I have been fortunate enough to meet with several persons in Brussels, still well and hearty, who have cheerfully given me their reminiscences of that event- ful epoch. I have, however, failed to come across a single combatant, although many were alive ten years ago. M. Louis Spaak was born in. 1804, and I found him busily engaged in his pleasant bouse on the Avenue ties Arts, with sundry plans and iirojectionsfor improving tliccom- luanications between the upper and lower sections of Brussels. He is unwilling even now to give up his work as an architect, and his only enemy is the asthma. In bSlo he lived with his father in tlie Trureidierg, and wlicn THK SUN V.AS iiisiyu on the morning of June 16 he saw the Duke of Brunswick and his suite (preceded by two of the Black Hussars with pistols in their hands) riding out to the battle of Quatre- Bias. "Two of Picton's Scotch soldiers," continued Mr. Spiak, "were billeted on us,' a.s well as an officer named Jackson, whose servant Thomas used to let me ride on his charger. I remember Mr. Jackson return- ing here hurt and telling my father in bad French tliat it had "rained Inillets," as he sho\^ed him Jiis horse's nose pierced by a ball. I believe tint our guest's name was lasil, and that he died only a very short time ago. I heard the guns firing from the olil ramparts I have never forgotten the endless procession of wounded, and I saw the i)rewer3' drays, laden with beer, rattl- ing over the stones of the chaussee toward Waterloo. On the .Sunday after the battle we drove out to the field wdiere Hougomont was still smoking, and the country people were filling in tlie graves. I remember M. Sivery, a professor of English in the Athenee, one of my old friends, telling me a story about Waterloo which you may care to hear. He iielped, when a youth, to nurse a Scotch- man who was thought to be mortally wounded, during three months, but at last recovered and was furbished l)y M. .Sivery with the means of returning to his home, whence he emigiated to America. Forty- two years after the professor was unexpect- edly sunimoneil to the Hotel Bellevue, and there saw a young man who placed in his hands a gold twenty-dollar piece, handsome- ly mounted in a case. He told him that it was the first money his father; (who had be- come a v,-ealthy timber merchant and a Sena- tor for Massachusetts,) had earned in Amer- ica, and that he had commissioned hisson while making the tour of Europe, to seek out his foimer benefactorat Bru.ssels and place it in his hands. .Sivery was himself a soldier, and wounded with a sabre at the battle of (iroes- bceren. The tv,:; men became inseparable friends. Tiie niemory of Mine. Z. Ijipcrsiel, jre Louise FouUe, whowasborn withtlie century, is as clear as that of a woman of forty. .Sit- ting in lier bright "u/oii overlooking the Rue Beliiai-d. and the tree-lined avenue, this dig- nitied and still handsome lady talked to ine for an hour over her reminiscences, which begin with the firing of the deafening salute which greeted the arrival of the First Con- sul and Mine. Josephine. She was nearly ten when she faw the Emperor with Marie Louise (wearing the Brussels lace shawl just given her) sitting at his side and driving to the gala performance at t4ie Monnaie. Then came the Waterloo days, when her father and mother went to the Wellington fete at the Concert Xoble, but they were not pres- ent at the Duchess of Richmond's ball, which at the lime Mas almost forgotten in the bus- tle of the battle. The.Foidles lived in the Viedle Cour, now tlie Rue du Musee, (where the English Club is at present situated,) and as her father was one of the city notables. Mile. Louise was in the very centre of ail that was going on. Her uncle, M. Alexandre Ponthieure de Berlaere, was an officer of the Seventh Bel- gian Battalion; coniinanded by Col. Vauden- saude, and his niece saw him depart for the war. Like everyljody else, the FouUes went to the ramparts TO IIEAK THE C.-VXKOX on the Sunday afternoon after prajdng in the church, and as they crossed the Place Royale one of their French friends riding past called out gayly, "Demain a Laeken!" She knew Mine. Wesener of Charleroi, and has heard her tell over and o-, er again the story of her coming to Brussels on a common cart under cover of the darkness of the night of the 15th to tell the Duke of Wellington, who was at the Duchess of Richmond's ball, that the French had crossed the frontier and were advancing. Mile. FouUe visited the hospitals of the Montaigne de la Cour, and assisted in look- ing after a dozen wounded soldiers who found an a.sylum in her father's house. She saw the Duke of Wellington frequently, and says he carried an umbrella even when riding in civilian attire. Louis le Desire used to strut about the Pare with a gigantic cane, and the ' Belgian ladies of the period admired kilted Highlanders much more than the "Black Bruuswickers" or any other class of the de- liverers. The hlocv.s Continental mined the popularity of Napoleon, and' caused endless misery in Brussels no grade of society was exempt from the domiciliary visits of the "rats" employed by the fiscal authorities of Dyle, and Mme. Fonlle, when she went HSW shopping with her daughter, paid a louis for a pound of sugar and purchased velvet be- cause it was cheaper than cotton. Mile. Marie Sacre is the daughter of Napo- leon's clookmak^r. She lives with her younger brother, (a robust septuagenarian,) who has carried off countless prizes for the manufacture of mathematical instruments, and is the inventor of the balance used in half the mints of Europe. A coffin clock made by M. Sacre pere toward the close of the last century ticks sonorously in the par- lor behind his son's repository in the Chaus- see de Wavre, where I talked to Mile. Marie of the days when she used to accom- pany her father to Laeken, where she often saw the Emperor while the palace clocks were being wound up and adjusted. While living in the Rue de la CoUegiale, near Ste. Gudule 's, Mile. Sacre looked down on the French troops marching out to the Russian campaignâ€" Xapoleon signed the de- claration of war in a room where on^ of M. Saere's clocks graced the mantelpiece-^and she was seventeen when she watched the Duke of Brunswick and hi.s officers, with their skull and cross-bone helmets, passing under the walls of Ste. Gudule on their way to Quatre Bras. Four yeais previously Marie Louise had patted her on the head in the Laeken (hardens. On the morning of the 19th she st-od Ijy the X'amnr Gate and saw the long o-onvoy of wounded file by. One English officer, who was riding, had lost his arm and the stump was bandaged up in canvas "like a ham." Mile. .Sacre helped to look after the wounded in the Petit Pare, which, like the rest of Brussels, was turned into a liospital for at least six weeks. Though in her ninty-third year, she is very proud of her brother's "successes, and it is certainly a curious coincidence that the son of the man v.ho wound up Napoleon's clocks at Laeken, and repaired his watch before he went to Moscow, should live to make com- passes for the Congo .States, and gain the gold medal for HaJanrcx de precision at the. Paris Exhibition of 187S. It is now just seventy-five years since these things happen- eil, yet M. .Spaak, Mme. Ippersiel, and Mile. .Sacre can speak of them as events of yester- day. Their pLUSonal reminiscences of i;ho.se stirring times will, as far as the coming '^\'aterloo' day is concerned, have much greater interest than the 'latest intelligence' of the forgotten Journal de Bdijique or the laconic sentences of its equally dull colleague tlic Ora' li-. The present has its claims as well as the past, and I must leave the narra- tives of those who actually saw Duke Fred- erick William in his plumed head gear de- part so bravely for liis last battle-field, to go to Genappe, where, forty-eight hours hence, the obelisk de: tined to perpetuate his valor for all time is to be solemnly inauguratetl on the seventy :rifth anniversary of las tragic death."
