La Monday, the 14th intL Lord Cathcart, Ge neral in Chief of his Britannic Majeftv's troops, re moved his head quarters to the Citadel in this place. Along the efplanade of the Citadel, flrong palifades are crated from the Cuftom Houfe to King's-flreet. The (mall town of Frederickfberg is occupied by 2090 Englifh troops, chiefly confifling of Highlanderi who have their wives with them. In leveret of the largeß houfes upwards of too perfons are imams!. The Caftle of Frederickfberg has fuflained but very little damage ; two pieces of brats cannon are mounted in front of the Royal Palace, and even the I King's (tables are occupied by Eny,lifh troops. The I ftrilt difcipline now obferved by thefe troops, cannot be fufficiently praifed. In order to prevent the con fufion and diforder wiring from the foldiers buying themfelves their own provifions, the Commanding General has made arrangements, by which they are brought at once for the whole Regimerit, and after wards diftributed among(' the foldiers. Befides feveral private libraries deftoyed by the bombardment, the valuable collection of books . which belonged to profeffors Itilbrigh, Wolf, Kittulf, and Woldike, were confirmed by the flames. Three printing offices were deftroycd by the fire, with fe veral books and manufcripts of greit value ; and among others, Olufsen's Icelandic DiElionary, pub., hiked at the expence of the Royal Academy of Sci ences. In Mr. Tutein's warehoufe, goods were de voured by the flames to the amount of 13,000 riz dollars. The Police Office, this morning, gave public notice, that according to a letter received from his Britannic Majefty's land and naval forces, fuck per fou as will to leave the capital, will henceforth need no other paffports than thole granted by the above office. 66 The Senate of this city has made known to the proprietors of buildings burnt down during the late bombardment, that they are not to rebuild them until his Danith Majefly's determination !hall be known on that fubjed. According to a notice given by the Senate, under date of the 16th init. an agree ment has been concluded with Adm. Gamin ER, that all veffels bound from Copenhagen to another Dann port which are furnilbed with a paffport granted by Maj. Gen. PLY ma N, and figned by an Engin Captain of the fleet under the faid Admiral's command, fhall pats free and unmolefted ; and further that all vef• fels, from 25 to 53 lath burden, which arrive with provifions horn any Danifh port, and have no other goods on board, fhall be admitted free in Copenhagen harbour, being first &arched by the Englifh guard. [hip Rationed off Copenhagen. About 800 privates of the Dana marines have deferred, and fomt of them, whoa the EnglA refuted to engage, are now wandering about the country, without bread and protection. SEPTEMBER 2E. The following letter was on the 19th tranfruitted by the Dani(h Chancery to all the Magifirates, Counts, and Barons in Zealand. It is the with, both of the Dann and Englith commanding Generals, that the diforders which by (haggling parties have been committed in Zealand, (hall in future be pre vented by ftrong patroles fcouring the country, and other meafures, which are to be adopted for that purpofe, as far as the prefent circumftances will ad mit. All Magiftrates, Counts, and Barons are, therefore, herewith called upon to make all poffible exertion on their part, that diforderly military, who render thenafelves guilty of any excels, be appre• headed and brought to condign punifhment. According to an agreement concluded with Ad miral Gambier, Commander in chief of his Britannic Majek's Naval Forces in the Baltic, all (hips which fail from hence to any Dana port to fetch provi fions and fire wood for this place, may take with them and export lea coal, falt, and all piece goods, and of Weft India commodities, moo pounds of fu. gar or coffee, one or two puncheons of rum, and une or two hogiheads of tobacco. A report is current in Etruria, that, on the part of the Englifh, an application has been made to the King of Sweden to deliver up his fleet, which is now rigging and getting ready for fea in Carlfcrona. as a depofit to the Englifh. On Langeland, as well as Fremen, feveral Englifh Icemen attempted to effe& a landing, but wen repulfed.

PRIVATE LETTER. 44 Copenhagen Roads, September 15. 64 In my laft letter I acquainted you with the capi tulation of the Danes and the furrender of their fleet and fibres ; fince then we have been buhly employed in fitting out their (hips, none of them having any thing in but their lower marls. The time allowed fur taking them away is fix weeks, which, from the (late they were in, the Danes thought it impoffible to effed ; but to their utter aftonifhinent fix days had only elapfed when two of their line of battle (hips were brought mita' the hatbotirperfedly rigged and 'anchored in the Roads. To-day three , more came out, and to morrow nearly all the rem a inder win follow ; fo that in lets thin ten days the whdte bf their fleet, which were lying totally elifinasided alongfide their wharfs, will be anchored with the Britifk (hips in the Roads of Copenhagen, reedy fur fea. The ftores, of which the artenal contains k greater quantity and, of a quality fuperior to ioy dock yard in Europe of its fize, are nearly half (hip ped, and if I may judge from what has been already done, the whole will be taken away in the (pace of ten days more ; the efiimated value of which, includ ing the (hips, is upwards of three millions (letting. There are two line of battle (hips and a frigate build ing ; one of them and the frigate are in a Hate of fur wardnefs for launching ; thofe are to be launched, and the other is brealing up. There is alfo a great quantity of timber knees ready fitted, fuperior to any thing of the kind that we have in England ; thefe we are putting on board the Danifh (hips, all of which are tobe loaded with (torch and what they will nut contain will be.put into tranfports. . • u The (hi ps are very fine men of war, and many of them are what are called handfnme (hips, efpeci. ally the frigates ; they ate nasals(' by us after the (hips that fit them, calling them ra m , as the YOjlig \ Tarts, &c. The Young Prince rf Wales was the firti thip out, having on board all her guns ; thnfe on the fore cattle and quarter-deck are brats 1 underfland the other chips will take only a few an hoard. We have had no communication with die town, which, I be lieve, is prohibited ; the Danes are laid to be much enraged againft us; and indeed 1 don't wonder at ir, confidering what they have fuffered, for I think half a century will hardly remedy the defiruaion made by the bombardment of only three days; as from the ap pearance of the fire, which was of great extent, and burned molt furioufly for nearly four days, the greater part of the north end of the city mutt have been confirmed, betides the metropolitan church; and a great part of the fuburbs are alfo burnt down. 4 s The King and Crown Prince are in Holfiein, where the French are Paid tc have eflablifhed an army of 70,c00 men, for the purpofe of affifling the Danes, in which I truft they will be difappointed by the vi gilance of Commodore Keats, who is cruizing with a fquadron in the Belt. It is imagined w; (hall quit this place tail)? in Cleober, unlefs any thing which we are at prefent unacquainted with Mould prevent us. The Admiral, I underfiand, intends appointing Puffers to the line of battle (hips : this will make a great promotion among the Captain's Clerks." The Prince of MECKLENBURG STRELITZ reached I town on Saturday. He was landed at Dartmouth from a cartel from Mot-fait. Being the nephew of our Q2een, and coming by the fpecial persniffinn of NAPOLEON, many rumours arc afl sat. Some will have it that he brings a letter from the Emperor of the French, propofing a Negociation—othets, that he brings Come propofals from the Emperor ALsx- ANDIIt. We cannot give any opinion on the fubjea as all that is afloat is mere conrefture. The Him. Mr. STEWART, brother of Lord CASTLE .

The fon of Admiral Litmus, now a prifoner in this country, has received pernsitlion to proceed to Ply mouth, and thence to France, an exchange for this Gentleman having heen agreed on.

FROM SATURDAY NIG/IT'S GAZETTE. AriMIRALTY :111)3R 10, zgo7. • A Letter from Captain Moody, of big Majetty's Ship Hydra , suldreffed to Vice Admiral Lord Collingwom:, of which the following is a Copy, has been trahfusittrd to the. Honourable William WcllclLy Pole, by Rear Admiral Purvis. Ids Majdty's Chip Hydra, at Sea, Augult 7. My Lord—l have the hunour to relate, that f chafed three armed polaccas into the harbour of Begu, on the coati if Catalonia, late IA night ; and having reconnoitred this morning, deemed an attempt on them praßicahle, although under the dole pro cation of a battery and tower. At fifty minutes after noun the (hip was anchored, with fprings on the cables, at the entrance of the port, and began the attack; .a (*mart fire W 414 returned by the enemy, which honey:a conliderably abated atter fomewhat more than an hour's anion; nn per. ceiving which, I ordered a party of fifty feamen and marines, under the command of the Second Lieute nant (Mr. Drury), with Lieutenant Hayes and Per- Reny, of the marines, Mr. Finlaifun ( Midthipman), Mr. Goddard (Clerk), volunteer, attended by Mr. Bailey, Affiflant Surgeon, to land on the flank of the enemy, and drive them from their guns, keeping up a furry fire from the Hydra, to cwver the boats; yet,, notwithßanding our endeavours to draw the particulacattention of the battery, the detachment', were loon expufed to a croft difcharge of landgrage from the (hipping and forts, as well as muficetry from the rocks : unfhaken, however, they advanced; and having mounted the cliff, which was moil difficult of accefi'; they attacked the fort with fuch intrepidity, that the enemy did not think proper to await their doling, but fpiking the guns, wilted out on the one fide as our brave fellows entered at the other.—The battery contained four twenty fix pounders. This gallant atchievement gave me an opportu nity'of employing the broadfide foiely oft the rads. from which a contiant fire was Rill kept on our peo ple on chore. On gaining the guns Mr. Drury advanced with the (cameo and a few marines to the town, leaving Mr. Hayes and his party to retain them, and to oc cupy the heights that commanded the decks of the veffels, and from which he could annoy the enemy. who v-ere in great numbers on the oppofite tide of the harbour, which is extremely narrow. As loon as the town was cleared of the enemy, the crews abaft. Boned their veffels, but formed in groups of muflce try among the rocks and buffies, firing on the feamen who had now feized the boats on the beach, and were boarding the polaccas, while another party of the enemy had gained a height above the marines, and kept them continually engaged, notwithlianding tome guns were kept playing on them from the Hydra. At half paft three, obferving Mr. Drury in full poffeffion of the veffels, I fent the reit of the boats, under Lieutenant Little, to affill in towing them out, and at (oar had the fatistailion of feeing them rounding the point, when the marines reimbarked under a heavy d ifcharge of mufketry, the enemy having collet:led their whole force to harals the re treat. When I review the eireumnances attending the debarkation of this handful of men, and reflect on the many difficulties they had to furmount in an at tack on a fort ftrongly defended by nature, as well as art, there oppnfed to more than three times their force for two hours, fucceeding in poffeffing them felves the refl . :ls, and deliberately laying out haw. fers .to the very rocks that were occupied by the enemy, and warping' thins out against a heft' breeze, eapofed to a galling fire of mulketry, 1 feel perfeitly incapable of writing a panegyric equal to their me• fits . ; but it has not required this exploit to (tamp thefe officers with the charafter of cool judgment and determiled bravery. During the term of four years I have witneffed frequent intim - ices of the gallantry of Lieutenants Drury and Hayes; and Lieutenant Pen. gelly (though not of fo long a (landing in the Hy. dra) has ever been a volunteer on fuch fervices. • I have alfo the greaten pleafure in adding, that the above mentioned officers fpeak in enthulialtic terms of the behaviour of all employed under them :—to your Lordfhip's notice and pri.tation, therefore, beg molt ftrongly to recommend them. The conduit of the reR of the officers and Chip's company fully equalled my pima wifhes ; —to the tremendous fire they kept up I attribute the fmallnefs of our lofs and damage, namely—One killed and two wounded on biiard, and four wounded of the de tachment, the fore and mizen tepmans and foretop failyard fhot through. a few in the hull, and the rig ging triflingly cut, is all the damage.
