COPENHAGEN, OCTOBER 12. As it has been ilated in feveral Englifh newfpapers that the naval itores, &e. found in Copenhagen, an.-1 taken away by the EngMit, were not of any confi &rabic value, we cannot forbear to affect, tvith the ariaeft conformity to truth, that the Mores, materials, implements, &c. found there by the Englifh, and either denroved or cat ried c ff, ate at kali of the fame if not of n higher value than the whole Danifh navy now is their polreflion.

GENERAL.OEDERS BY THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. Fort William. February is, tBo7. The Commander in Chief has received the report of the cap ture of the ftrong fort of Chumeer, in the diftridt of Koonch, at four P.M. on the agth of January, IEO7. The energy and decifion evinced by Lieutenant Colonel Haw kins, fince he fucceeded to the command In Bundlecund,is highly creditable to his profeffional reputation; and the judgment, abi- lity, and promptitude manifefted by him in the attack of Cbumeer entitles Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins to the particular approba tion of the Commander in Chief. The profeflional ability and zealous exertion difplayed by Cap tain Hopper, and' the Artillery, Engineer, and Pioneer details em• ployed on that fcrvice, in preparing the way, and the determined gsllantry evinced in the affaolt of Chumeer, agafnft a very fpirited anddefperate refiftance, redounds highly to the honour of Captain Delamain, of the 16th native infantry, who led the attack, and to that of the gallant Officers and Soldiers of his Majefty's and the Hon. Company's fervice, who fo nobly performed their duty on that oecalion, and for which all are entitled to his Lordthip's par ticular praife and thanks. The Commander in Chief laments the lofs of Lieutenant MGregor, of his Majefty's 17th Foot, and of Lieutenant M'Qieen, of the tit native infantry, now numbered with thole who have gallantly fallen in the ferviee of their country. H. WORSLEY, Adj. Gcn. A PROCLAMATION. The Right Hon. the Govainor in Council, having obferved, that in foam late inaances an extraordinary degree of agitation has prevailed among feveral corps of the native army of this coati, it has been his Lord fhip's particular endeavour to afcertain the motives which may have led to conduft fa different from that which formerly diainguithed the native army.— From this inquiry it has appeared that many perfons of evil intention have endeavoured, for malicious purpofes, to imprefs upon the native troops a belief that it is the with of the Britith Government to con vert them by forcible means to Chritlianity ; and his Lnrdlhip in Council has obferved with concern that filch malicious reports have been believed by many of the native troops. The Right Hon. the Governor in Council there. fore deems it proper in this public manner to repeat to the native troops his affurance, that the fame re (pea which has been invariably ( h ewn by the Britifh Government for their religion and for their cutioms will be always continued; and that no interruption will be given to any native, whether Hindu() or Muffalman, in the praftice of his religious ceremonies. His Lord/hip in Council defires that the native troops will not give belief to the idle rumours which are circulated by enemies of their happinefs, who endeavour, with the bafea defigns, to weaken the confidence of the troops in the Britifh Government. His Los darip in Council defires that the native troops till remember the contlant attention and humanity which have been thew,n by the Britifh Government, in providing for their comfr.rt, by augmenting the pay of the Native Officers and Sepoys ; by allowing liberal penfions to thole who have done their duty faithfully ; by making ample provifion for the fami lies ut thole who may have died in battle ; and by receiving their children into the fervice of the Hon. Company, to be treated with the fame care and bounty as their fathers had experienced. The Right Hon. the Governor in Council trufls that the native troops, remembering flick circum• fiances, will be tenlible of the happinefs of their Iv !r -ation, which is greater than what the troop, of a"y other part of the world enjoy, and that they continue to obferve the fame good c(tnduet for which they were diainguithed in the days of General Law rence, of Sir Eyre Coote, and of other renowned heroes. The native troops mull at the fame time be fenfi ble that if they thould fail in the duties of their alle giance, and should ' thew themfelves difobedient to their Officers, their condo& will not fail to receive merited punithment, as the Britilh Government is not Ids pre eared to punith the guilty, than to pro teet ai d diltinguifh thole who ate aiming of its favlur. It is direfled that be eradiated with care into the Tamul, Telinga, and fliudoollanee Lan guages ; and that copies of it be circulated to each native battalion, r.f which the Europe:2n Officers are enjoined and col Llered to be careful in making it known to every native Officer and Sepoy under his Lommand. It is alfo dirsacci that copies of the paper be cir. culated to all t e Magilirates and Ccllators under this Guvernmeca, fur the purpole of being fully un der tio:•cl in all parts of the country.

No official account, we believe, has yet been pub- Hilted of the capt u re of the Dutch frigate Maria Riggerfbergen, fioce called the Java, fuppofed to have foundered with the Bt.t. sm.

" On the 12th of September, the Carrot's/ e failed from Penang, upon a cruize in the Straits of Sunda. The winds being light and variable, the did ant reach Bencoolen before the 6th of Oetober following, where, receiving fome water and a few live cattle, (he re mained a few hours, and then proceeded to the South. but had the misfortune, before the had been nut a 6 hours, to lute her topmafl in a tremendous fquall. Her fore-yard alfo went in three pieces, the driver boom in two, the tops were much damaged, many fails fplit, not to mention the fmall flicks loft and deflroyed ; and the diflrefs was aggravated by the circumflance of their being almoft dellitute of fpars, and having very little cordage on board.— The lofs of a cruize, however, was the acme cf dif rrefs. What cannot be effeded by perfevering try ! every thing was fpeedily replaced, but the fore. yard, and that on the this d day after, was alfo acrofs. It was compofed of half the broken main topmafl, one piece t f the former forelard, fecured by iron hoops and fiches. Full of hopes, they arrived, on the 6zh of October, in the Straits, and examined the wefiern fide, then croffed over to Anger Port on the 17th, and in the morning early, under French co lours, laid to until the guard boat came off ; they detained the ferjeant of the guard, and after paying liberally fur the refre(hments the boat contained, fent her athore, with a fiditions account of themfelves, and then made the bell of their way for Batavia, which they hoped to reach as loon as thtie difpatches could. On the 18th, at day light, °trey chafed a brig under Dutch colours, which having a pendant flying, they took to be a guarda cotta. Their red fides and French colours deceived the brig Intl:let:N ally, that the did not for a moment carped the truth, until a cutter, manned and aimed, was dispatched, under the command cf Mr. S. JoHNsON, mate, to attack her ; but, left the should not be equal to the talk, the barge was boated out, manned and armed, and fent after her, under the command of Lieutenant CRESSY. Finding refiflance mutt be in ' effedual, they quietly fubmitted. ;The prifoners, about 3o in number, being exchanged, her colours were re hoifled, and fh: was ordered to follow the frigate. She had only failed from Bantam the night before, and was laden with pepper, andjmounted fix guns. A fine breeze fpringing up from the weft ward, they loon law the Wand of Onroolt, and under it the Phenix refitting ; alfo feveral merchant 'hips; and between the iflands of Amtlerdam and Middle burg, they obferved two brigs, of 14 guns each, ready for lea, which they would foon have doled with; but were diverted from them for tome time by a veffel in the offing, which proved to be an Ame rican. They refolved on the brigs &ft, and then the frigate at °mock The weather at t P. M. keenest. ing very hazy, with drizzling rain, they could not very well fee the velTels in Batavia ; but the brigs weighing and making fail, they hauled dole round Amflerelam Nand, and very nearly cut off both, but being in four fathoms water, were obliged to heave all aback, the headmolt one profi..ing by this, efcaped round the frigate's bows, while the Zeerop, of 14 guns and 40 men, was taken poffeilion of.— The tiring alarmed the Matrix; inflantly cut, as did the merchant drips, and made for the (tore ; and before the CAROLINE could get the prifoners ex changed, and the topfails double reefed, which the refrefhing breeze rendered neceffary, thefe Dutch• men were out of reach. " They then determined to try what was to be done in the roads, which gaining under a heavy prefs of fail, they did not give the enemy much time to confider; indeed they thought themfelves perfedly fate, as well they might. There the Maria Rigger. bergen, of 3o guns, lay outermat, hipported by the William, of 20 guns, and the Patriot, of 3o guns, the Zeiploog, of 14 guns, the Galley, of 6 guns, the Dutch merchantmen alto, molt of whom were arm ed, and a block (hip betides. A little before four o'clock the Dutch frigate began to try his range and continued firing until the CaaoLINR had thortened fail to her topfail. When taking her pofition on his Ilarboard bow, the opened her fire upon him, and her fecund a head ; he finding his duration too hot, cut his cables and call to feaward. Blitith courage never had a liner field to difplay itfelf in. The CA RoLINE, with zoo men at quarters, was now pairing infide; receiving the tire of every stare', but by a maitetly rnanoenv•e got the Dutch frigate with head off fhore, between her and the reit of the enemy (excepting the William, who taking a pofition aftern, raked her during the action to the tall). Being now fairly placed alonafide the Maria, the action was ob Ilirately fought for 3c minuler, when the Maria frock in fair fathoms water : the William then, and not before, made off, but kept up her firing until the boats lt ft the CAROLINE, to take poffeffi n of the frigate. They then ran farther nut, and anchored for the night ; and Inch was the panic of the enemy that although no moleflation was given them, during their (lay, they next morning weighed and tirade fail in company for the Ifland ct Edam, where the prows were at anchor. The Pepper brig was given up to as many of the prifoners as could now away in her, and the then parted company for Batavia. Num bers efcaped in the beats o f the Maria during the adion,nor was any account taken of thefe fent iron+ the Dutch frigate to the brig, owing to the confofint, ufual in thole cafes. The fors of the enemy could not be afcettained ; but the Maria is stated, from the belt accounts, to have had 23 killed, and 2o wounded. The vidory was dearly purchafed on the fide of the Englith, there having been 3 killed, and 13 wounded (all. 3 . Dutch prifoners killed and 2 wounded), on board the CAROLINE. Lieutenant Williams, of the marines, a yhung officer of grew promife, was the only officer wounded, which he wa. (mortally) early in the aftion " Thus was an ae:ion concluded, which, pethap is not exceeded in btillianei by any known. The CAROLINE ) Maria ; and Zeerop, proceeded through --. . , •••=•11‘1 the Straits of Banta, where being miftake A. f or Dutch fqoadron, they found cattle to detain a Per. tuguefe chip from Batavia bound to China, with which they arrived at Penang, on the 13th of De. cember, after a fatiguing paffage of 26 days, againti the mrinfoon, in very bad weather. " P. S. There were about forty fail of veils in the roads of Batavia, of the enemy's about nineteen., Had not the CAROLINE been fo (bcrt handed, the would have done confiderable more mifchief ; as it is, 2,000,000 florins will not repair it."
