Tiny are dated the zad ult. The rub !lance of there difpatehes we onderfland to be as fol• le :—Snon after the troops were landed, they ad. of water from Copenhagen; an& it was the determi•l nation of Lord Ca vticarr, with a view to Cave the effufion of blood, to purfue that mode of warfare which appeared to him fully calculated to anfwer all the purpofes with little lots. Admiral GA /4 111 IR had ordered a numbei of tranf ports and light veffels to be moored in the Sallow grounds, to anfwer all the purples of buoys, to as to leave a free and uninterrupted paffage to the (hips of war ; a calm fucceeded, and the Danifh gunboats came out ; they took poffeffion of a galliot, which they hauled into the mouth of the harbour, and fet fire to an Eat! Country fhip which was Rationed on this ferviee. This trifling circumllance. of epode, had no drat ; the troops were in the highell health and (pit its, and no doubt was entertained of complete fuccefs. The Crown Batteries were to be bombarded on the a3d. Five thoufand reamers and marines bad volun teered their Cervices, and the attack was to be made by divifions of Soo each. A convoy, confining of nearly too waggons, laden with ammunition, principally gunpowder, and ercor ted by about 800 Dann troops, is Rated to have been captured by our army, on its way to Copenhagen. General Baud. or, according to Come accounts,l General Bsartusa, is (aid to have procured admit-! lion, in difguife, into Copenhagen, and had taken the command of the troops, and the management of the defence of the place. The loffes which will be fußained by the Danes, if no reftitution is made to them, is at prefent incalcu lable. The greater part of the capital of Denmark is engaged in commerce ; and at this time there are t t Danifh Eali Indiamen afloat, moll of which are homeward bound. There are alto (exciufive of the thins detained in Englifh ports) upwards of aoo yacht now at tea. molt t‘f which will inevitably fall into the hands of Britifh cruizets. ti arced for the purpofe of invelting Copenhagen. and met with trifling oppofition on their march. A detachment of the German troops, under the com mand of General DEKKIN, attacked and carried the Royal Foundery, which is fitnated about eight miles from Copenhagen. It was defended by a Major and 8 30 men. all of whom were made prifoners. The Danes coilefled a fmall force at a place called Rof cheld, and appeared for a (tort time determined to make a nand; but upon the approach of our troops they retreated with precipitation. Some in boats of the enemy were alto compelled to retreat. Our whole loft upon thefe occafions confined of two ar tillery men, and two Officers, Lieutent LYONS and Enfign Dic xsow. At the Foundery our troops took putictrnin of a great number of cannon, and a conii derable quantity of ammunition. When the accounts came away Copenhagen was completely invened—the batteries were e►efted, and it was expeeted that they would open their fire upon the city the 23d. We undernand that L•rrd CATH. cast was of opinion that the Force under his com mand was fufficient to have carried Copenhagen by affitilt ; but as it is furrounded by a broad wet ditch, a number of lives mull of courre have been facrificed in the attack, and as them: was no pnflibility of the place being relieved, his Lordthip thought it more advifeable to proceed in the regular manner. Very little doubt was entertained that the City would fur render in a few days. Indeed a confiderable number of the more wealthy inhabitants, had openly expref fed their with that a Capitulation fhould take place. In order to facilitate the attack on the land fide, it was determined that the fleet (hould attack the Crown Batteries, the capture, or the filencing of which, %valid enable ou: vefrels to be laid cl: , re to the Town we undernand, that before the Swaw cutter, which br•)ught the difpatches, faded on the morning of the 23d, our [him had began to cannonade to can nonade there batteries. After the inveliment of Co penhagen, orders were ifrued by Lurd CATHCART to prevent every perfon from quitting the City, except the Princefres, who had taken advantage of that per ruitnuo, and retired, we believe, on the 18;h. Our troops were all in pedal health, and were amply fupplied with proviffons. Many of the Coun try Gen lemon had agreed to alt under our Commit lion as Magifirates; judicious regulations had been efiablinted; fevere difcipline was enforced, in conic quence of which the country people brought in their provifions for fide without hefitation ur apprehenfion, for which they were punaually paid. The following are CltraaS from private letters " His Majtfty's tarp —.--, off Copenhagen, Aug U. An order has alfo been fent nut to the fqoadron in the Welt Indies, for the immedi.tte capture of Santa Cruz, St. Thomas's, and the other Dana colonies. /3y a veffel arrived at Guernfey from a port in France, our information communicated to the public on Wednefday, is confirmed. An embargo on all Plrtnguefe veliels in the ports of France, has aelually taken place, which *has been followed by a fimilar meafure with refped to all Dann vefrels. A notice to this effelt was yeflerday polled at LLOYD'S. It is tuppofed, however, that the embargo on the latter valets is at the inftance of the Dana Government, to prevent their capture by &high cruizers. Onr cruizers flop all velrels bound to the Danifh p•rrt , . A Dutch Captain returned to the River yet. tardy, in confequence of his having been prevented from entering Tonningen. On the arrival of the difpatches yefletday, a num. her of difagreeable rumours gra into circulation, all of which were unfounded. They originated in the mere circumltance of no letter having been addreffed to the Loan MAYOR, as on the p:eceding day. Among the many reports. that prevailed in the City yeacrday, nat the lead extraordinary was, that the Dinilh fleet had cfcaped from Copenhagen. The rurn'u.r was, however, too abfurd to gain credit, even on the Stock Exchange. A letter from a perfon high in command on beard the fleet now in the Baltic, dated the 2itt ult. !tires, that they were then preparing gun and mortar batte ries in the rear of the Crown Batteries of C^penha gen ; that a general meeting of the commanding land and tea Officers was to take place on that day ; and that the grand attack was to take place in about three or four days thereafter. Another letter, from an offi cer of the Mars, dated aad Augittl, 6 o'clock, P. M fayi, that General Baton's Brigade the &II that landed, Sir ARTHUR WELLViLkY'S the fecund, and General Sys OMER'S the third : that on the Kith there was Come fkirmithing, in which the Danes lot! about forty men, and we alto a few ; and that, at the mo ment of writing, there was Come hard fighting--the Danes difputing every inch of ground, but retreating. The Troops that landed at Wilbeek, ten miles North of Copenhagen, were the Troops that were embarked in the Dlwits.

We this morning received Newburgh papers to the 23d ult. The articles they contain from Copen hagen will bt read with muck interee ; but we are furry they give us no hopes of a fpeedy furrender of that Capital.

They were allowed to land undiltut bed. in order to furround and deltroy them. KIEL, AUGUST so. Copenhagen is, we under Rand, in a very refpeaa. ble Rate of defence. General Carftenkiold has turned the flank of the Englifh with a corps of t too° fegu. lar troops, befides militia—they are confequently be. tween two fires, and a battle cannot be avoided. The mail waggon from Copenhagen was on the 16th detained by the Engl4 in the Belt, but of all the articles and monies it contained, nothing was taken out. DENMARK, AUGUST so. The Prince Royal has given orders ►ather to burn the fleet in cafe of extremity, titan to fuller it to fall into the hands of the enemy. When Mr. Jackfon (it is (aid) gave him twelve hours to take his final refolution, he did not employ Co massy feconds in pofitively relating his propo fitions.

The King and Prince were no known I the officer feemed fcarcely to know how to ad, nor whether the nations were to be confidered at at peace or at war, and M.

HAMBURGH, AUGUST H. There is now no doubt that the French will foots enter H Mein, as the corps of the Prince of Foote Corso (Bernadotte) is expeeed here the 2sth or 28th.
