REPORT FROM THE DUKE OF ALBUFERA TO THE
MINISTER OF WAR, JUNE 29, 1815
The Commission of Government communicated the following
telegraphic dispatch from the Duke of Albufera, transmitted from
Lyons on the 30th day of June: --
The Duke of Albufera to the Minister at War.
"Chamberry, June 29.
On the 27th the Austrians attacked on all the line; they were
repulsed with the loss of 250 men killed, wounded, and prisoners,
and I, in vain, endeavoured at an armistice with General Bubna.
On the 28th the enemy attacked upon Conflans and Aiguebele; he
lost 1500 men, and we took 500 prisoners. At one in the afternoon
I renewed the proposal for an armistice, which was accepted. In
pursuance of this armistice I have consented to return within the
limits of the treaty of Paris.
I sent, at the same time, a flag of truce to the General in Chief,
Frimont, near Geneva; he has replied to me that, animated by a
desire to anticipate by preliminary arrangements those which may
take place between the allies, he consents to an armistice to the
2nd of July, the period when I hope to have received the answer
of the Government."
