The Auckland packet, from Gottenburgh, arrived yeflerday in the neigh bourhood of Harwich. In her paffage thither, fhe !poke an Englifh merchant veffel that left the Sound on the 12th inflant, being ordered away by Ad miral GAMBIER / as he meant to make an attack on the Dana batteries the next day : they afterwards fell in with a Swedifh veffel, who informed them that the attack commented on the 13th, (the day he left the Sound) and that two Englifh frigates had taken poffeffion of a Danifh frigate which lay in the Cattegat, as a guard (hip. There, without being able to afcertain their credi bility, are the reports at prefent in general circula tion. The following letter, which brings the opera tions of Admiral GAMBIER. down to a later date, is from a Gentleman at Harwich, who does uh the favour of his occafional Correfpondence : " HARWICH, AUGUST 26: " By a Gentleman j nit landed on the coati below g this place, from the Auckland, we learn that an 46 action was fought on Friday, the I 4th inft. between 4 6 the Englifh and the Danes off Copenhagen; the " refult of which we have not been able to afcertain." Whatever may have been the event of this battle, no doubt can be entertained that hoflilities have com• menced with Denmark, and that we are now adually at war with that country. Orders have been fent to Sheernefs to flop all Da pith veffels. The PureeEa :gun brig, Lieutenant SMELL, failed from the Nore to bring in any Chips the could meet with, under Danifh colours. Similar orders mull have been fent to all the lea ports in Great Britain and Ireland, as our Readers will find from our Port letters of this morning, that feveral Danifh veffels have been already brought into Our ports. By the above Packet we received a Gottenburgh Mail. The late( intelligence from Stralfund is con tained in the following BULLETIN. " Head quarters, StraWund, Auguft 4. " Captain Dorph ordered, in the night between the Both July and ill of Auguh, a detachment of thirty Marines to land, under the command of Lieutenant Clairfait, near Dawin, again the enemy's chain of chaffeurs, to reconnoitre their pofition : they were attacked by a French piquet, three men of which were killed, and the rea taken prifoneri. Lieutenant Clairfait returned thereupon with his detachment on board 6: gun boats, having carefully reconnoitred the enemy's pofition. " On the zd infiant, at five o'clock in the morning, a heavy cannonade commenced frr•m the Triebfee batteries, againft the enemy's works, which was dif. continued in the evening, and renewed the nest morning. 66 The detachment of the Finland regiments, ordered to this place, arrived yefterday in the fertrefs.

Should any men be enrolled beyond the eftablifhment, they are, as formerly, to be confidered as Supernumeraries. 11. Such men as may have been enrolled between the 24th day of July, 18°6, and the isth day of April, r goy, can only be permit ted to be charged for from the latter date. 111. Such Volunteer Corps of Artillery and Infantry, as (ball not have exercifed more than 16 days in the prefent year, bare the option of affembling upon permanent pay and duty, under the conditions of the regulations which were in force In the year dos. IV. No Corps is to be affembled for lefs than to, or more than 14 days; and in no inftance are the number of days of exercife (including the days of infpedion) and the number of days on per manent duty (including the days on the march) to amount toge • ther to more than 26; but it is underftood that all Volunteers hall mutter for drill and exercife one day in each week, that they may i be entitled to exemptions. V. The non.comminioned officers, drummers, and private men, will be entitled to receive one Silting per diem, each, as marching, or bounty money, for the number of days they ffiall b. affemblcd on permanent duty, over and above the pay and allowances of their refpedtive ranks. This allowance will, as formerly, be Ilford in England, by the Receiver-General of the county, and in Scotlacd. by the CoUeetor of the Cefs. VI. This permiffion to Volunteer Corps of Artillery and In fantry, to affemble on permanent pay and duty, regards only the prefent year ; Inch duty mutt therefore be performed previonfly to the 2sth of December, day. VII. Thole Corps which may be defirOus of thus affembling, mutt apply, as heretofore, through his Majelty's Lieutenant of the County, to the Secretary of State for the Home Department. VIII. No extra pay is allowed for days of infpeetion; they are to be wondered as ordinary days of curdle, and are to be charged for as loch, and to form part of the 26 days for which pay is al lowed in the year. It being deemed necefrary to fill as foon as poifible the ranks of the Militia, thinncd by the volunteering into the Line, Courts of Lieutenancy were held yef terday for Waminfier at the Guildhall ; for the County of Middlefez at the Setfion•houles, Clerken well•green ; and for Southwark and Eaft Brixton at Horfemonger-lane. The main Winds was, the fwearing-in of a number of Conftables, for the pur pofe of putting the Aft in force, and ;truing their orders as to the manner in which the duty is to be done ; after which they adjourned. A number of very fine young men have volunteered from the Denbigh and Cardigan regiments of militia, at Sheernefs, for the line. The z3d, or Royal Welch Fufileers, is their favourite regiment. The zd battalion of the 9th, (Gen. Banwttamces) is already completed to 800 men, from the Leiceiter, zd Snmerfet, and Weft Kent ; amongft whom are the greater part of the flank companies. This regi ment expefts, at lead, 400 more men from the Lan cafhire, Eati Devon, Gloucefter, and Berkfhire regi ments. The Ift battalion (in Ireland) is at prefent upwards of 800 flrong. The 91ft regiment, quartered in Mallow, Killar ney, &c. have been Grdered for Cork, to proceed with the 3d regiment for Canada. The regiments at prefent in Canterbury barracks, are the 4th, or Q2een's Own, with the Perthfhire and North Gloucefter Militias; and the 16th Light Dra goons, who do duty on the coati, are ftationed in Old Beekton Hill Barracks. The head-quarters of the 16th are at Hythe. The amount of the fums voted by Parliament for the half year from the 25th of June to the 24th of December, 1806, on account of the new military ar rangements, comprehended under the feveral heads of Augmentation of Pay of Officers and Men, tn creak of the Chelfea Penfions, and Increafe of Wi dows Penfions, was 215,4231. 18s. sd. The amount' of the firms included in the eftimates of 1807, for the Paid fervice, cannot be Rated with accuracy, as the additional charges are not diftinguifhed on the face.of the ellimates, but, as nearly as can:be judged, the total of the Paid fums is 450,0001. Yeaerday afternoon the St. Clement Danes, or Duke of Gloucefter's Light Regiment, met at L:n coin's Inn Gardens, where after being examined and told off by their :Iwn Officers, they were very minute ly infoelted by Colonel Jenkinfon, the infpeeting Field Officer. After going through the ufual ma neeuvres, they paffed in quick and ordinary time, and, returning to the regular ground, made a grand falute. 4.••• • , a The Loyal Southwark, the ift Surrey, the Cam. berwell, Clapham, Wandfwqrih, G. eenwich, Dept ford, and Lewillsam corps of Volunteers, are making great exertions to fill up their vacant tanks, and per tea themfelves in military taffies.

She failed from Portfmouth on the 4 .: 1 of March, with a fleet, under convoy of his Majefty's (hip ANTELOPI. The Lifbon Mail which arrived yeflerday, brings no particular news. We do not hear that any alarm is yet entertained there of an immediate attack or in terference of the French, though the Paris Journals have for Game time mentioned the formation of an army at Bayrnne for the invafion of Portugal. It has been conjectured, that an army altembled in that quarter, under the menace of attacking Portugal, may be employed to attempt Ireland, and as the Sparaifh Ports are well calculated f‘r fending out an expedition to Ireland, the enemy's movements in that quarter require to be carefully watched. Another c-•njeEtute refpeaing the objeds of the army to be affembled on the Spanifh frontier is, that Bonaparte now ferionfly intends to unite Spain to France, or to place one of his family on the Spanifh throne. He has artfully contrived to get a►l the Spanifh troops out of the country, between zo and 30,00 , 0 it is Laid being in Germany or Italy. This certainly facilitates the defign both by the removal of the means of refillance, and the opportunity it affords of debauching the Eipanifh army, and giving it a bias in favour of France, or a Ruler of the h )(Ile of Bonaparte. Nothing would be more eafy than for a French army now to execute this projea, and there are many circumflan:es in favour of its probability. Bonaparte mutt fee many objeaions to fuffering a Bourbon in remain on the Spanifh thrcne, after hay ing excluded it from France, banithed it from Naples, and rendered it irreconcilably his enemy by the death of the Duke DEnghien. He has now hardly any thing elle to do, and if Lucien Bonaparte would make fubmiffion, probably he might yet he King of Spain, and fo the whole family 'would be Kings and Emperors. Thefe, however, are mere fpeculations, , unfupported by any intelligence whatever. Letters from Lifhon mention that a (hip had ar rived there from the Bralils, with an account of an attack having been mAcle by our troops on Buenoi . Ayres, which was laid to have failed; but as this I t rumour is not mentioned in the*Madtid Gazettes of the Bth, we arc not inclined to attach much c•edit to it. GARTAIOR:, AUGLST 20.
