Baron Knorring de fended himfelf at the head of a fmall detachment to 'the utmotl extremity, and as my only remaining (trength tinder the fuhfilling circumftances confifted in the redoubt which I occupied with 5o men, I was determined not to furrender it until I thould be forced to do fo by a fuceefsfoi alisult on the part of the enemy.

J. GAMBILL. To the Vireo:mot Caftlereagh, &e. Ste. &s. • Given in Lord Catheart's Difpatels. t The Articles in Lord Cathcart's thipatch. Citadel of Copenhagen, Sept. B. MY Lotto—Tt has fallen to my let to have the great fatisfaCtion of forwarding to your Lordfhip the ratified capitulation of the town and citadel of Copen hagen, including the furrender of the Danifh fleet and arfenal in this port, which are placed at his Ma jelly's difpofal. The object of fecuring this fleet having been attain• ed, every other provifion of a tendency to wound the I feelings, or irritate the nation, has been avoided; and I although the bombardment and cannonade have made confiderable havock and deflruCtion in the town, not one shot was fired into it till after it was fum. moned, with the offer of the molt advantageous terms, nor a tingle shot after the firft indication of a difpofition to capitulate ; on the contrary, the firing, which lafted three nights flout his Majeftl's batteries, was confiderably abated on the ad, and WAS only renewed on the 3d to its full vigour, on fuppofing, from the quantity of fhtlls thrown from the place, that there was a determination to hold out. On the evening of the sth September a letter was fent by the Danifh General to potpnee an armi (lice of 24 hours, for preparing an agreement on which articles of capitulation might be founded. The ar miltice was declined, as tending to unneceffary delay, and the works were continued, but the firing was countermanded, and Lieutenant Colonel Murray was fent to explain, that no propofal of capitulation could be liflened to, unlefs accompanied by the fur. retider of the fleet. This bats having been admitted by a fubfequent letter, on the 6th, Major General Sir A. Wellefley, whom I had fent for, for this purpofe, from his corn• mand in the country, where he had dillinguilbed himfelf in a manner fo honourable to himfeif, and fo advantageous to the public, was appointed with Sir Home Popham and Lieutenant Colonel Murray, to prepare and fign articles of capitulation ; and thole officers having infilled on proceeding immediately to bufiixes, the capitulation was drawn up in the bight between the 6th and 7th. The ratification was eechanged in tF,e courfe of the mornieg, and at font in the afternr•on of the fame day, Lieutenant General Burrard proceeded to take polreffion. The Britiffi Grenadiers prefent, with detachments luau all the other corps of cavalry and infantry, under the command of Colonel Cameron of the 79th regiment, with two bligades of artillery, marched into the citadel, while M?jor General Spencer, having embarked his brigade at the Kalk Brandiere, landed in the dock yard, and took p• :Teflon , f each of the line of battle lltips, and of all the arfenal, the Danilli guards withdrawing when thole of his Islajetty were ready to replace them, and proper offict rs attending to deliver gores, as far as inventories could be made up. The town being in a Rate of the greateft ferment and diforder, I moti willingly acceded to the requeß that our troops fhould not be quartered in it, and that neither officers or fuldiers fhould enter it for Tome days ; and having the command of pofreffion from the citadel whenever it might be itecefeary to ufe it, I had no objection to leaving the other gates in the hands of the troops of his aural Majelly, to. gether with the police of the place. We have confented to the re eflablilhment of the Pot} ; out all arrivals and departures are to be at and from the citadel. This work is in good condition, very lirong, and well flured with ordnance and ammunition. The amount of the garrifon of the town is not ealily afeertained. The regular troops were not nu. rnerous—but the number of batteries which filed at the fame time, together with the floating defences, prove that there muft have been a very great num. ber of militia and burghers, with other irregular forces; and their ordnance was well (erved. Confideting the advanced pofition in which his Majetly's troops have been placed fur the laft fort night, our lugs (highly as I prize the valour of every officer or foldier who has fallen or been wounded) has been comparatively (mall. The zeal, fpirit, and perfeverance of every rank in the army, have been truly charafteriffic of the Bri dal nation; and the King's German Legion are en titled to a full bare in thsa commendation. AU the Generals, and indeed each officer, has ren dered himfelf coal's:cm:u, in proportion to his com mand, and the opportunities winch have occurred ; Mad opportunities have occurred to all. The Staff bee done themfelves thegreateft credit, and been of all the fervice that could be &fired in their feveral depattments. Colonel D'Arcey. the chief engineer, and every mimes: under 40, have giyeu the molt unecjuiv• cal proofs of [donee and indefatigable induftry the works under their direition have gone on, with fresh parties, without ceafing. General Bloomfield, and the officers and corps of Royal Artillery, have doae great honour to them• fans, and to that branch of his Majefty's fervice, cf which their fire upon the gun boats, and the rapidity and fuccers of the mortar praaice, afford fufficient proofs; nor is the ditiribution of-battering ordnance, and of fo much ammunition at fo many points in this extenlive line, is fo fhort a period, a fmall proof of the method and refources of that corps. Lieutenant Colonel Smith, with the 82d regiment under his command, held the port at the Windmill on the left, which for the greater part of the time was the moft expofed to the gun boats and forties of the enemy ; and the unremitting attentions of that officer claim particular notice. By the naval blockade, the force oppofed to us has been limited to the refources of this and the adjacent Mandl, feparated only by narrow ferries ; and almoft every with of affiaance has been anticipated, and every requifition of boats, guns, and totes, has been moll amply and effeetually provided for, with the greateft difpatch and the moft perfea cordiality; and every poffible attention has been paid, and every accom• modation given, by every Officer in that fervice, from Admiral Gambier downwards. A battalion of feamen and marines, with three di vificns of carpenters, were landed on the gth, under Captain Watfon, of his Majeay's (hip Inflexible; and had the effort been made, which would have been retorted to in a few days, if the place had not capi• tulated, their Cervices in the paffage of the ditch would have been dillinguithed. I fend this difpatch by Lieutenant Cathcart, who has become for Tome time my firitAid de Camp, who has feen every thing that has occurred here and at Stealfund, and will 1.• able to give any further details that may be required.

I have now to add, that the mortar batteries which had been ereaed by the army in the feveral pofitions they had taken round Copenhagen, together with the bomb veffels, which were placed in convenient flirtations, began the bombardment in the morning of that day, with (nett power and effect, that in a fhort time the town was fet on fire, and by the repeated difcharges of our artillery, was kept in flames, in different places, tilt the evening of the gth, when a confiderable part of it being confumed, and the conflagration having arrived at a great height, threatened the fpeedy detlrualom of the whole city, the General commanding the gar rifon fent out a flag of truce defiring an armiftice, to afford time to treat for a capitulation. After lone correfpondence had paired between the Danifh Gene ral and Lord Cathcart and myfelf, certain articles were agreed upon, of which I have the honour to tranfmit you a copy. From thefe their Lordfhipe will perceive, that all the Danilh !hips and yards (of which I inclofe a lift), with the floret in the arfenal, were to be delivered up to fuch perfons as fhould be appointed to receive them on the part of his hfajelly. I accordingly appointed Sir Home Popham fot this purpofe, and having made the neceffary arrangements , for equipping them with the utmoft difpatch„ I have committed the execution of this ter vice to Vice Ad miral Stanhope, in whofe ability and exertions I can place the fulleß confidence. I am happy on this occafion to exprefs the warm (cafe I entertain of the cordial co•operation of the army, by whole exertions, with the favourable cos. currence of circumftances, under Divine Providence, ever fince we left England, our ultimate fuccefs has been more immediately obtained. I mutt alfo con. vey to their Lordfhips, in terms of the higheft appro. bation and praife, the confpicuous zeal and earneft eod,eavours of every officer and man under my command for the accomplifbment of this krvicei and although the operations of the fleet have DM been of a nature to afford me a general and brillia occafion for adding frefh teflimony to the numerous records of the bravery of Bikini feamen and marines, yet the gallantry and energy difplayed by the ad. vanced fquadron of !loops, bombs, gun Inks, &c. which were employed under the command of Puget, to cover the operations of the left wing the army from the Daniffi flotilla, ought not to be paffed over in fi lence. I have beheld with admire. tion the Ready courage and arduous exertion with which, on one occafion in particular, they fultained for more than four hours a heavy and inceffant can nonade with theDanifh batteries, block (hips, praamt, and gun boats, in a fituation where, from the fhoal. nets of the water, it was impeffible to bring any d the large (hips to their fupport. I feel it my duty to make a particular aeknos ' ledgment of the aid I have derived from Sir Hone Popham,Captain of the fleet, whofe prompt refources, and complete knowledge of his profeffinn, efpeciall is of that branch which conflated with the open. tions of an army, qualify him a llisticular soaps. for the arduous and various h which hells been charged.
