We :teed ye lerday, that intelligence had at lin eet ) reCe' v ld if Admiral Gataarstes operations, and detailee I:• reports on that fubjea, which had been .7ol!efted by the Auckland packet, on her pal. (age to Haru i:h. The f o lk a g is a mote ample flaternent of the , tec. , ents alluded tn, being the jlurnal brought by a Ger. Ferran arr;ved in the packet from Gottenburgh: " Sa:led from Gottenburgh, in the Auckland packet C 4 ain BAIDC:I, Saturday morning, three o'clock, apt: the afternoon of the fame day (poke `a Captain of a Bvredilh brig, who informed us that an a/lion had taken place on Thurfday, between the Danith cattle and the Britith fleet lying at Ellineur. " Sund7 y morning, fell in with an Englifla brig, the Edmund, of Yarmouth, from Stockholm, bound for Liverpool, about half down the Sleive. The Captain ir',ormed us that the Danifh guard(hip, of 44 guns, had that morning been captured by two frigates, off the Scaw ; that the transports, with Englifh troops, had orders nn Wednelday evening, the day the Edmund left the Sound, to keep clear of the (hot of theCaftle ; and, as four (hips of war were moored in aline of battle off the Cattle, it was generally ex• peeled that an engagement would take place the fol lowing day. The Captain of the Edmund had orders from the men of war's boats to proceed immediately, and not wait for convoy. 1 , Monday, 6 o'Clcck, Morning, fell in with the Agamemnon, Captain Ross, about 17 leagues dif tant from die Scaw, with (even tranfports under convoy. As the wind continued fair for them, they would reach the Call on the following Wednefday evening, or Tivitfday morning." Af:er we had given an abflrafl of the above jour• nal in our paper of yeflerday, it was reported at the Admiralty, that difpatches from Admiral Gsmatst had been received, announcing " that the bombard imentof Copenhagen commenced on Sunday the 16th, and that the city had forrendered to the Britifh on Monday the 17th." The fiatemast refpating the aitpatches feems, however, to have been premature ; attlthe report probably arofe from the cornmunica tics at the Admiralty of the contents of a private leter from General MACFARLANE, who c,bmman• ded die troops that lately failed from Hull, under e^o►ny of the AGAMEMNON, which is dated from off the Scaw, on the 16th inflant.—The General Bates, that on that day a Swedilh vein', bound to Liver• nI, paired through this divifion of the expedition, and informed the General, that our forcer were then Initarding t;openharn; that the troops were landed, and that all was going on very well. This is the whole of the letter from General Mac. FARLAINE, and the only intelligence which has rtaehetl Government. The letter, however, is not ItMciAl, but to an Officer in town. That the Danes have oppofed an obflinate refifi- Var to our forces, we are well Allred ; but we are vithout hopes that their ntmoft efforts have prised ineffeaual, and that the firft grand ()Nat of our Expedition, has been hilly accomplilhed, though ac fear with no inconflierable lots. VT have good ttim to believe that this great achievement was not tfreaed bcro:2 the 17th, the day ab"ve reported. Up to the 15:h, v,e know the alTault had not been rude. The account.• from Holland bring intelligence irnm Copenhagen down to that date, at which time tle Danes Were centinning their hOitile preparations with the lIGTIOa aftivity, and ALL THE ENGLISH IN OtEMARE HAD BEEN ARRESTED, AND THEIR. PILO 7 illTr SEIZED.

Id sr Of this event, we are inclined to think that Mini. `erthad previnufly received pofitive advice. The iris& of bottling, it is therefore clear, was corn bitted by Denmark ; and Government have iffued clasfor dttaining all Danyk vekr in our port:, and for "iliag in all fiip: and /.!fflis of that chfcription that may set With at fea by cur emitter:. This order has already been very generally ailed 4 1 ) '.n, and a number of Dann veffejs have been farce (ittsined in el;fferert direetions. On enqt3;: r, ssi:en this paper was put to prefs, co lccoonisbf a later date than thofe we have flated had been received by Government ; nor had there been I [7 arrivals at Yarmouth yefierdiy afternoon when e Mad cane away, as will appear by the follow 't letter u YAR:.:OUTI-1, AUGUST 27.

They were to march again as this morning for Ramf. gate, where they are to embark. Their deitination is fuppofed for Ireland. The sth battalion of the 6oth Regiment, ablut sOOO llrong, marched into Dover yetterday, from Brabourne Lees barracks ; and they continued their march this day for Ramfgate, where they are to be embarked for Ireland. The two battalions of Leeds Volunteers are going upon permanent duty to York for 18 days, to com mence on Wednefday the 3oth of September.

The Royal Wefiminller came on the ground firlt, and were infpeCted in a very minute way by the Field Officer, as to their effective ltrength, as well as the Rate of their arms and appointments, which were reported in good or der—the mutter was about 340. The St. James's muttered ab , ut the fame Itrength, and went through a like infpedion ; they were in excellent condition and difcipline. The Royal York came 'aft on the ground, and went through many manoeuvres in an excellent (kyle, their light corps difplayed great agi lity and correEt difcipline. The two firft regiments fired a great number of rounds each, and with gond effect. The Princefs CIIARLOTTF of WALES will leave Worthing for London, on Sunday next.

On the arrival of the Marquis of Aaesenan at Baron's Court, the town of Straban, which is part of his Lordfhip's nate, and from which he takes his IriCh title of Vifcount, was brilliantly illuminated; it a place of great trade, and his Lnrd(hip was the means of forming a Canal from thence to Lon• donderry, to which work he was a ♦ery liberal con tributor. At the fall Affixes it Warwick, James Herfon, of Fillongley, in that county, carpenter, was tried before Mr. Justice La &atm, upon an indi&rnent preferred agamll him at the Summer Affixes, 18c6, on the pro fecution of Mr. William Cooke, fur marrying his daughter, then under the age of 16 years, without his content, and found Guilty ; but the fentence was refpited till the next Affixes. This profecution was founded upon a very falutary, though antient Ae of Parliament, made for the protelion and Cecurity of thoughtlefs and unfufpeaing females. At the Affixes for the county of Lancafter, a caofe was tried before Mr. Baron Wood, and a Spacial Jury, which created confiderable intereft from the novelty of the circumflances attending it.—Thomas Carill Woifley, Efq. of Platt, was plaintiff, and one James Hulme, and others, were defendants. It ap peared that Mr. Wortley was the owners of two dwelling houfes, in Smithy Door in Manchetier, which had been for fume time untenanted, and on tale ; that a few muaths ago, the defendant, Hulme, borrowed the keys from Mr. Barret, the plaintiff's Agent, under pretence of looking at the premifes on behalf of a purchafer, and prt.mifed to return them immediately ; but indeed of which he kept the keys, and whilft Mr. Barrett was abfcnt on bu finds in London, the defendant Hulme, convened the premifes into five flow., and let them to as many tenants, at rents amounting to nearly two hundred pounds per annum, and retitled to give up the poffef. fion. The defence attempted to be fet up was, that the plaintiff's agent had granted Hulme a leafe of the premifes ; and the defendant's attorney alfo gave the plaintiff notice to produce his title on trial, which the plaintiff was prepared to have made out in the cleareft manner, fupported by fines and rec , :veries for up wards of too years back.—After a frill examination of the plaintiff's agent, the defendant's Counfel de clared the mfelves alba med of the caufe, and threw up their briefs without calling witneffes, of which they had a confiderable number. The Learned Judge was (truck with aflonithment and indignation at the audacity of the treipafs and defence, declaring that it Cu. - paired all that he had ever heard or wit neifed, and recommended the Jury to give exempla racy damages, to prevent the repetition of a fimilar offence. The Jury immediately gave a verdia for Soot. the full damages laid in the plaintiff's declara tion, and colts, and regretted it was not in their power to give a larger sum. There were two other affirms at the fait r.f Mr. Wortley, againft two other trefpaffers, upon the fame premises, in each of which the Jury gave the like damages. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

It has been Bated in feveral of the Papers. that a letter had been fent to the Lord Mayor on Tuefday evening from the Admiralty, and that it related to the Baltic expedition. The letter alluded to con tained an application to his Lordlhip, to back an imprefs warrant for the City. The Navy is faid to be greatly in want of hands; and rarely a better opportunity of procuring a great number of able bodied gentlemen for this fervice could not ,be offered, than by ditating the execution of this fervice te wards thole fcenes of profligacy daily exhibited in and around this Metropolis, commonly called Boxing Matrhee.

On fearching the pockets of the deceafed, there were found 251. in calls and notes, but no letters or any thing tending to identify his perfon, or to enable a firanger to com municate the melancholy event to big friends. He was accompanied in the coach by one Lady only, to whom he was unknown; but finding death approach ing, and fenfible of his &nation, he told his name and addrefs, but the Lady was thrown into filch terror and agitation on the occafion, that the could not at all recollea either. One Gentleman, on hip road to London, thought it was a perfon refident there, of whom he had tome diftant knowledge : and his shirt mark was examined to fee if it accorded with the initials of his name ; but proving otherwife, every mind capable of thougi t, were left in painful doubt and uncertainty as to his perfon and refidence.

A recruit belonging to the 53d regiment, now quartered in this town, while bathing in the river Severn, on Saturday laft, was feized with the cramp, and intlautly funk. A boy, lets than himfelf, ob. renting hi% perilous fituation, fwatn to his affirlance, caught him by the arm, and dragged him to the &ore. He was taken to the regimental hofpital, pp parently lifelefs, where Surgeon EMERY attended, who, atter nerfevering for two hours and a half in the method recommended by the Royal Humane Society, fuccetded in reboring animation. It is but juflice to add, that Mr. Remarry, of the Harp, at whole bottle the apparatus is kept, attended with it the whole of the time, and ufed every exertion iu his power for the boy's recovery. As a fublitute for raffling. Leo parties are now formed at the Watering-place Libraries. The game, is fimple and eafy, and affords much diverlion.

I Tuefday evening lag, two thoughtlefs young vo lunteers, returning from drill in the Mews, fired off their muikets on their entrance into Caftle.areet ; the confequence was, that the horfes in a coal wag gon, palling at the moment, took fright, and ran furioutly again( the (hop window of Mr. Palmer, cutler, in that ttreet, which they almoft demolithed ; and two ladies, who were unfortunately dole by the (hop, were fo feverely cut and bruited, that they were conveyed home, almotL without hopes of recovery. On Tuefday evening, as a Gentleman was driving his curriels, with two Ladies, on the Hammerftnith Road, one of them requelted that the might he en trutted with the reins • which being complied with, the horfes took (tight, aad ran agatnit a c' !e•t then coming along, when, by the (hock, the Gm 'emu' and ore of the Ladies were thrown out, but did not ' fuliain any ferious injury. The other Lady, in at tempting to jump out, unfortunately got entangled between the (haft and the harnefs, and was dra, ge in the molt diftretfing manner, bruited and cnvesed with blood, as far as Kenfington, where they were (topped. After the Lady ;yid been extricated fom her.perilous fituation, (he was conveyed to a C,n•ie. man's houfe, where furgical afflitance being imme diately prncured. every neceffary attention was paid to her.
