DOWNINO.STREET, OCTOBER 31. /stria of a Difpatch, of which the following is an Extra" that has been received from Lieutenant General the Right Honourable Lord Cathcart, K. T. addreffed to the Lord Vifeount Cattle reagh, one of his Majefty's Principal Secretaries of State, dated on board his Majefty's Ship Africaine, Odtober 11, 1207. As no fort of infraction of the capitulation had been made by the Danes, who, on the contrary, aced molt honourably in the itriEt and litetal fulfil ment of their engagement ; with a view to the ful filment of the articles of the capitulation on our part, it was decided to c.:mmence the embarkation of the army on Tueftlay the 13th intim-it. 0 Accordingly, on that day, the eight battalions of the line of the King's German Legion, were em• barked in the arfenal ; arid, on the 14. th, the two light battalions of the King's German Legion, to gether with Brigadier General Macfarlane's bri gade, viz. the 7th and Bth regiments of Briti(h, which embarked in the fame (hips which brought them from Hull. 'nide corps, with the depot and garrifon company of the Legion, and the fick and wounded of the army, completely occupied all the troop 'hips, whether for home or foreign fervice, which had not been appropriated to the conveyance of naval dotes. _ _ _ There (hips, having been removed to the Road, were replaced by the boric !hips. On the fame day the advanced polls were with drawn fiom Kolhaven, Werdenberg, Corfoer Kallenbe►g, Frederick(berg, Het holm, and adja cents, and proceeding . through a chain of Cavalry Polls, reached the environs of Copenhagen in three marches. _ _ The embarkation of the royal artillery, with the field and battering ordnance, having been gradually carried on from the Kalk anderie, that of the ca valry and foreign artillery in the Dock Yard, and that of the Britith regiments from the Citadel, to the men of war, there remained on 011ie, on Sunday afternoon the 18th initant, only the Brigade of Guards, who moved on that day from the Palace of Frederickfbcrg, to the Strand near Hellerup, with . one brigade of Btitifh light at tillery, the flank com panies of the 32d and soth regiments, with the 82d regiment, under Major General Spencer, in the Arfenal ; and the 4th regiment, with a detachment of royal artillery in the Citadel, under Lieutenant Colonel Wynch, who acted as Lieutenant Governor, the 4th, or King's own Regiment, having been in garrilon there the whole time. Lieutenant General Sir George Ludlow was ap putti.cd to command the rear guard of the army. In the evening of the 18th inilant, a gale of wind ' came on which lifted 24 hours, and rendered fur ther embarkation impoiEble, and any communica. don from the more with the Blips very difficult. As loon as it became evident that the evacuation of the ,Rand, on the isith, was impraBicable, a cor repondence took place between the &kith and Da nulls head quarters, the refult of which left no reafon to apprehend that hoftilities would recommence on either fide at the expiration of the term, although the Dana General protefted, in ftrong terms, again 4 our retaining the Citadel, which, on the other hand, it was not judged expedient to evacuate. On the aoth the morning was calm, and, as loon as it was light, the drums of all his Majefty's regi meats on fitore beat the General ; and the Dock Yard and Harbour being entirely cleared of tranf ports and Briiith veffels, the corps commanded by Major General Spencer rowed cut of the Arfenal, under the guns of the Citadel, and proceeded along the lhore to Hellerup, to be in readinefs to reinforce the 'Guards. His Majefty's Hoop Rofamoad having been alto towed out of the harbour, and the King's gips within reach of the Three Crown Battery hav ing got under weigh, the 4th regiment marched out of the Citadel, and proceeded to join the Guards, covered by its own flank companies, and by a piquet of the Guards. As loon as they had marched, the bridge was drawn up, and the. Britiil2 Fort Adjutant was fent to the Danith head quarters to acquaint the General, that he was at liberty to fend a guard to take charge of the Citadel ; accordingly a ftnall detachment of the royal artillery, and of the 4th regiment, were relieved by a guard of Danith troops, and the ord nance inventories and keys having been given over to the officers appointed to receive them by Major Bodecker, the Fort Major, and Captain Patterfon of the royal artillery, the Britith detachment embarked with thole officers at the Citadel, and proceeded to Hellerup. As loon as the 4th regiment had joined the Guards, Lieutenant General Sir George Ludlow began the embarkation, which was completed with great expedition and regularity. No troops of the enemy appeared, and there was no coocourfe of inhabitants. People of all ranks in the city, in the villages, and on the public road, were extremely civil. Had any difturbance been intended, or had any been accidentally excited, the embarka tion would have been equally fecure from infult, the place related being open and level, and out of the range of fire from the Crown Batter y or Citadel, bur commanded by his Mikity's light chips of war. The brow, or nage itfelf, horn which the troops embarked , WdS jud ictoufly and ingeniouflf contrived by Sir Home Popham, to anfwer equally the pur poles of embarkation and defence. A !mall veffel, a praam, and a floating battery were fattened fucceffively to each other on the beach; the two &It being planked over, and the lan beyond them having feveral guns of large calibre prepared for action in an oblique direction, and manned by feamen. _ _ _ _ Ihe flat boats drew up on the two fides of the praam, and the gun boats, which alfo received troops, were placed beyond the floating battery, fo that, as foon as the brigade of artillery was embarked, the troops marched to their boats, and the whole put off to their refpeeive fhips ; after which the floating battery and praam were deftroyed. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, OCTOBER 3r. Copy of a Letter from Admiral Gambier, to the Honourable William WeUelley Pole, dated on board his Majefty's Chip the Prinee of Wales, of Copenhagen, the aoth Odober, do 7. Sir-1 have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commiffioners of the Ad miralty, that the whole of the Danifh fleet being equipped (except two unferviceable fhips of the line, and two frigates, which have been dearoyed) and the arfenal cleared of ftores, the army has been re embarked ; and that I limn proceed with the &ft favourable wind to carry into execution the inaruc tions I have received from Lord Vifcount Cattle. reagh. Having in far accomplinted the fervice upin which I have been employed, I feel it my duty to (late the great adivity, energy, and zeal, which have been !hewn by Vice Admiral Stanhope, and Rear Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, in fuperintending the equipment of the Danilh (hips, and the embarkation of the Bores from the arterial ; nor has the fame fpi- rit been lefs manila in the Captain., Officers, lea men and marines, who have all executed their re fpeaive parts in the general exertion, with a prdrop titude and alacrity which has not only entitled them to my warmefi thanks and praife, but will, I doubt , not, when the aggregate refult of their labour is confidered, obtain for them the approbation of their Sovereign, and the applaufe of the nation. In the (pace of fix weeks, *6 fan of the line, nine frigates, fourteen (loops of war and fmaller veffels, betides gun boats, have been fitted for lea, and all the large (hips laden with math, (pars, timber, and other fibres, from the arfenal, from whence alfo 92 cargoes have been !hipped on board tmafports and other veffels chartered for the purpofe, the lam of whole burthen exceeds twenty thoufand tons. A ! confiderable number of malts and fpars have been put on board the Leyden and Inflexible, which were well adapted for this purpofe, and fome valuable fibres on board his Majetty's (hips; nor can I forbear to remark, that fuch was the emulation among the feveral (hips of the fleet, to which the Danifh (hips were refpeelively attached for equipment, that within nine days fourteen fail of the line were brought out j of the harbour, although feveral of them underwent in our hands confiderable repairs. Of the three (hips on the flecks, two have been taken to pieces, and the ufeful part of their timbers brought away ; and the third being in a confiderable (sate of forwardnefs, was fawed in vari.)us parts, and fuffered to fall over. On a review of the whole I think it may be afferted, without derogating from the merit of any former fir• vice, that the charatierittic aelivity of Britifb officers, feamen, and marines, was never more zealoufly ex erted than on this occafion ; but I mutt not omit at the fame time to inform their Loll:Mips, that a very confiderable proportion of the labour of the arfenal has been performed with equal zeal and energy, by large working parties from the army, whofe exertions entitle them to the fame praife. I beg leave to expels the great fatisfaetion I have felt from the zealous and attentive fervices of Rear Admiral Eflington, to whom the general fuperin tcndance of the numerous tranfports, and the re• LONDON.

BALTIC EXPEDITION. Yeflerday was publithed a Supplement to the London Gazette of Saturday, containing Official Difpatches from Lord CATRCART and Admiral GAFIBIER, relative to the evacuation of the Ifland of Zealand by the Britif► force. The re embarkation of the troops, which teems to have been condated in a manner highly to the credit of the Officers who arranged and fuperintended it, was not completed till the xoth, a day later than the terra fixed in the capitulation, owing to a gale of wind, which for twenty-four hours furpended all communication be tween the land and the (hipping. The army met with no moleftation in re-embarking, and the aria difcipline which was obferved by the troops during their continuance on the Ifland, was repaid by ci vility on the part of the inhabitants at the moment of their departure. Sixteen fail of the line, nine frigates, fourteen Hoops of war and (mailer veffelr, befides gun boats, have been brought away. Two onferviceable (hips of the line, and two frigates ha'e been deftroyed, and three (hips on the flocks knocked to pieces. Betides a vaft quantity of (ores which were embarked on board the , fleet, ninety_two tranfports have been freighted to bring cff what the other (hips could not contain.— The Citadel was delivered up to the Danes in the fame [Late in which it was found when it furrendered. The honourable conduit of the Danes gives the lie to all the rumours that were circulated of a dif. pofition on their part not to fulfil the terms of the Capitulation ; but that bufinefs being now terminated, the two Nations may be confidered in a Rate of war. Denmark has iffued letters of marque againft all Britifh 'diets, unequivocally declared in favour of France, and recalled its Ambaffador at our Court. —He lets out this day, and will be conveyed from Yarmouth in a Britith frigate. Letters of marque and reprifal will, of courfe, be immediately iffued on our part, and a Proclamation to this di& will be p üblifhed in a few days.
