General Kruse of the Nassau Service, likewise conducted himself much to my satisfaction; as did General Trip, commanding the Heavy Brigade of Cavalry, and General Vanhope, commanding a Brigade of Infantry of the King of the Netherlands.
General Pozzo di Borgo, General Baron Vincent, General Müffling, and General Alava, were in the Field during the action, and rendered me every assistance in their power. Baron Vincent is wounded, but I hope not severely; and General Pozzo di Borgo received a contusion.
I should not do justice to my feelings, or to Marshal Blücher and the Prussian Army, if I did not attribute the successful result of this arduous day to the cordial and timely assistance I received from them.
The operation of General Bülow upon the Enemy's Flank was a most decisive one; and even if I had not found myself in a situation to make the attack which produced the final result, it would have forced the Enemy to retire, if his attacks should have failed; and would have prevented him from taking advantage of them, if they should unfortunately have succeeded.
I send, with this despatch, two Eagles taken by the troops in this action; which Major Percy will have the honour of laying at the feet of His Royal Highness.
I have the honour, &c.,
Wellington.
THE END.
