The firl regular cannonade was heard here from the Danill coati on Monday Taft, which continued until the evening ; a firing has face been heard at intervals, but not a vigorous one; fo that we hope the refinance will not be very obflinate, efpecially when the Danes fee the powerful and well appointed force that is come againft them. A Proclamation has been 'trued at Elfineur for fequeftrating all Eng. lifh property, and feals have been put upon the English Cordes houfe, and upon the houfes of all the Englifh who have left Elfineur. The like, it is prefumed, has been done at Copenhagen, where, it is Paid, Englifh perfons were ordered to be arrefted as well as throughout Denmark. A veffel arrived at &breath, from Peter{burgh, WAS chafed by fome of the Danilla pilot boats in coming down, and faw a Hull {Lip on fire, fo that the danger is confiderable in paffing down : fhe was off Copenhagen on the szd ult. at which time so at- tack had been made againft Copenhagen. The following is an extraa of a letter from an Officer in the Expedition, received at Clafgow on Saturday morning : . 1 COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 20. 4C A few days after I laft wrote, we left Elfineur, and ran up half way to Copenhagen, where the army landed at a place called the Hermitage, without the Leaf i oppnution or accident. Never did I behold fuch an intereßing fcene—ts,ooo fine fellows in the boats making the air refound with their fhouts and confidence of viar,ry. The next day we came up here, and, fince that, we have been almoß conflantly engaged with the Danifh gun boats, but have loft wbody.— The army has fuffered a little, but have carried every thing before them ; the sad have diftingnifhed them• themlelves. Copenhagen is now nearly inverted, and, as fot,n as there are batteries railed on (bore, there will be a grand attack by lea and land, and we are pretty confident as to the rcfult. The Comus has taken a Danifu frigate of fuperior force, after a fmart aElian ; and they have burnt two of our merchant fh:ps. Their gun boats got loch a reception the day betute yelerday, that they remained in the harbour fince. We are a good deal fagged, but you would be deliglized to fee with what alacrity and cheerfulnefs every one does his duty." •NOTNER LETTER, SAME DATE, SAYS, el That 17,000 men landed on Zealand, under the command of General Lord CA rifceteT.

THE ARMY. The following Copy of a letter has been received by the Commanding Officer of the fecond Royal Surrey regiment at Hythe, in confequence of the fpirited volunteet ing of that corps :— " Whitehall, Sept. 4. doy. Sir—l have learnt with great fatisfadion that in purfoance of I the permiflion lately granted by the Legiflature, to regiments of militia to volunteer into the line, in certain proportions. the regi• ment under your command bas funtiihcd its full quota for that Service. Ard having thought it my duty to fubmit the fame far his Maje(ty's information, I ant commanded to fignify to you the high feafe which his Majeity entertains of the fpirited and zealous fupport afforded to the public fervice by the fecond Surrey Regi ment of Militia, in giving fu full and early an effect to thole mea• (urea which bis Majefty bas been induced to fandloa at this mo mentous crifis, for the defence and fecurity of the country. I am, Sir, your molt obedient bumble fervant. (Signed) " " The Officer Commanding the zd Sauey Regiment of Militia." The quota from the regiment was fixtpeight men, upon the Commanding O ffi cer (Major Hunsonl reading the letter, for allowing the above number of men to volunteer into his Majefly's regular fervice Lieutenant WOULDS, with above too men, cane forward and offered their Cervices for the My-firth (or Pompadours); on their being informed no more than the quota could be allowed to go, Baty-eight fine fellows the next morning offered themfelves for stun ieed fervice. They were infpetted and approved by Major General Mama:squat*, marched laver to the receiving quarter, (Brabourn Lees), by the officer who volunteered with them in the higbeft fpirit, and were the &It volunteers turned over by the Superin• tending Field Officer in that diflrift. The Canterbury Volunteer Infantry were infpec. ted by Lieutenant Colonel WEBB on Thurfday laR. The battalion made a good appearance, and received the thanks of the Colonel for the corre4tnefs and pre cilion with which, as a Volunteer corps, they went through the various evolutions. The volunteering from the Militia regiments ea. tioned at Hull into the line has commenced ; out of the number of 333 wanting frum the Suffer, upwards of 150 have already entered : the Cumberland has fornifhed about 40 towards the full quota of zso ; 8 or to have volunteered from the Fira Weft York. The Royal North Lincoln Militia, Rationed at Ipf- wick, has furnilhed tflic full quota of 138 men for the regulars, with a degree of ardour highly gratifying to the commanding officer of that regiment. They are all fine young fellows, and have chiefly volun• Leered into the loth and 24th regiments. The corps of Royal Wakefield Volunteers have agreed to go on permanent Duty for thirteen days, which will complete the twenty-fix days according to the Ait : to commence on Monday the lath Paoher. I Pontefraa is the place fixed on. • • Monday fe'nnight the brigade of Volunteers, Aber deep, were infpeeted by Lieutenant Colonel&rowarr. The feveral corps muttered very ftrong, and their appearance, and Rate of their arms, gave every fa tisfaetion to that officer. Lieutenant Col. STowerr afterwards manceuvred the brigade, in prdence of Major General MACDONALD, who was pleafed to es preis the greateft approbation of their difcipline, and fteadinefs under arms. Lieutenant General FLOYD arrived in Cork on Sun day Taft, to affume the command of that diftrid. Lord HINNY PATTY arrived at an early hour on Monday, at the Ship Inn, Dover, and in the courfe of the day, attended by the qfficer commanding the engineers in that place, infpeeted the fortifications upon the heights. His Lord(hip then proceeded to Folkeftone, upon a tour round the coati. Some accounts have been received at our principal, Settlement in Ceylon from Major Davis, who was fuppofed to have been bntchered with his comrades by the troops cf the King of Candy. Major Davis is Rill alive in the capital of Candy. He has con- Hived to write a line or two on a leaf of jehnfon's Dittienary, merely Rating the fa& of his eziftence. This communication has been conveyed to one of the Britifh outpofts, and thence tranfmitted to the head- quarters. Yefterday the Cabinet Min:Rets dined with the Duke of Posy:Amos at Burlington•Houfe, Picca. dilly. Yefterday a Court of Direa'.rs was held at the EaR India Houle, for the purpofe of reading the advice: received by the fleet lately arrived. The (hip Exeter, of t zoo tons, was- taken up for China dire 1. The Court adjourned at fix o'clock till tomorrow. We are extremely concerned to Rate, on the au. thority of private letters from India, that a difpute of an unpleafant nature has happened between the Government and two of the judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature at Madras. "The difference mi. gloated in the etlabli(kment at Fcrt St. George, of a Police, which had been organized without reference to the Court ; a circumftance, which was noticed in a charge from one of the Judges to the Grand Jury, and the eflablithment itfelf was, we believe, declared unneceiLry. The language which fell from the Learned Judge, on this oceafion, is Rated to have been reported to the local Government, by whom a letter was written to the other Judges, requetling that they would take their feats in Court, to pre. ferve the peace of the place." It teems, that on the third day of the Seffion, and when the bufinefs was nearly ended, one of the Judges, thus applied to, ap peared on the Bench, the other declined, having ttated reafons for not interfering with the nfage and prac tice of the Court. This matter, and other circum. fiances, have unfortunately oceafioned a ichicm among the Judges themfelves, which had not be reconciled when our letters left Madras : and we are lorry to wit, that the appointment of 'a Military Officer to the fituation of Superintendant of the new Police, had eccafioned further difcuffions of aferious nature, which widened the breach between the parties in difference. We refrain from fubmitting at prefent any further particulars of this unpleafant affair, becaufe we are atritred that memorials on this I.:hjeet have been ma ' nutted by the Madras Government' to the Court of pir,aors, and to the Eoard cf • Conti-tiny—and that one of the Judges has fubmitted a Ratement of the difference between hivnfelf and his colleagues, for the confederation add judgment of hiallejs It is requifite, however, to Rate, that the charge to the Grand Jury did not in any refpat ditturb the peace of the fettlement.
