In the greater part rat our impreflion yeflerday we laid before the Public the following letter, being the lateft that has yet been received from our fleet off Copenhagen. It is from a young Midfbipman to his mother, a Lady in town. We made our copy from the original letter, which has the Yarmouth potimark on it, and, the family to which the letter is addreifej being highly refpeelable, we have no hefitation in pledging ourfelves that, whatever inaccuracy them• may be in the Ratement, the letter is genuine : " Ault., at Sea, off the Vlie, September 3. 1807. "DEJA MOTHERI fuppofe that you have heard that we have taken Copenhagen, h)) Oorming, and got p,freflion of the Crown Batteries ! s , The A Rl5l, has taken a large Knipliaufen fhip arid a galliot ; and we are pretty certain that they will both I,se Prizes. The Makes Mate went in with the and the Captain of the Prize wanted to run her Alm-a ; Le being certain that the would be con demned." In addition to the above, and as a corroboration of the intelligence, we have alfo to Rate, that a Naval Officer, who arrived in town yeller day morn ing, on being informed of the contents of the above letter, expreffed his furprize that we fhould have been fo long without the news, as he had been hailed by a cutter from the fleet, and informed of the furrender of Copenhagen. It is perhaps unneceffary to Rate, that the Vlie, from which the young gentleman's letter is dated, is an gland off the mouth of the Taal, and lies N.E. from Yarmouth. This morning Government received difpatches from Admiral GAMBIER, and from Lord CATHCART, brought to England by the ERNEST gun brig, which left Copenhagen on the 27111 ult. The difpatches a•e dated the 36th at which period, Copenha. gen was not in our pcifeffion ; but our troops were then bufily employed in ereding batteries to complete the bombardment. In the want of official intelli gence, we lay before our Readers the following letters received from Yarmouth this morning : " YARMOUTH, SEPT. sc. " This morning arrived the OBERON flaop of war and ERNEST gun brig : the latter has brought dif, patches from Admiral GAMBLER, and letters fn•m the fleet ; it was generally expelled that Copenhagen would fall on the 29th; there had been feveral fkir mahes, in which the Danes were repulfed with lot's— Remain in the Roads the Roebuck, Admiral Dot'G LAS% flag fhip, and Flora and Crefcent fi ;gates." ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE. il Arrived this morning, his Majelly's cutter brig OBERON ) from a cruize. She fpoke at fea a Ruffian vacl front' the Baltic, the Captain of which informed them, that the paired Copenhagen on the 28th ult. at which time the ifland of Zealand, together with the Danifh navy, had furrendered with little oppofi tion. Mfo arrived the EAGLE cutter, from a cruize, after having had an action off this place for four hours with a large French lugger privateer, of 14 guns and 6o men : it coming on a gale of wind, the EAGLE carried away her tormall, by which the pri vateer efcaped. .4 P. S.—The Ennis.. gnn•brig is juft arrived here : the failed from off Copenhagen on the 27th ult. The bombardment had not then commenced, and from the laft accounts, it was not expeited to be in our poireflion in lea than three weeks. Lieutenant WOODFORD, of his Majetty's (hip Cruizer, was killed by a (hot frcm one of the batteries. One of the flrong batteries, of ta guns, was taken petrel:lion of by the Englilb on the 25th ult. Left the fleet all well." On the above letters, the following obfervations naturally prefent thernfelve, : A (bong battery of 12 guns was taken on the 25th accounts for the intelligence circulated a few days ago, of Copenhagen having been taken on the 25th Augua. The place, hcwever, had not furrendered on the 27th, nor had the general bombardment then com menced. But, as the general opinion in the fleet was, that the place would be in our poffellion on the 2guh, we may infer that every thing was ready to make the attack on the mottling of the intermediate day, viz,. the 28th. A vefTel which palled Copenhagen on the zBth, inrcomed the °autos, at lea, that at that time Co penhagen and the Danifh Navy had furrendered to the Britifh Navy. The whole becomes confident rind probable, if we fuppofe that, before beginning the attack on the morning of the aBth, the place he ing fummoned, had preferred a furrender to an un necefrary effufion of blood— or that the attack having h en made and found too derperate to be refilled, a flag of truce may have been fent to propofe a sego. lation. In tither cafe inflant pntrefflem 'multi be :emanded and obtained of the principal batteries, &c. tnd the place might be ours at the time the Ruffian veffel paired the'port. We mean not to maintain that things mutt have seen as we have Rated. Bur there is nothing impro )able in the fopp , fition ; and we have every hope hat the intelligence flitted by the Ruffian vac!, and nentioned in the above letter from the Ariel, will be tolly confirmed. GOTTENBURGH MAIL. A Gottenborgh Mail arrived as this paper was going to prefb. The following are the principal articles it Wings: HOLSTEIN, AUGUST 20. " Since the return of the Criowm Panics, who on the sth irritant, arrived at Kid from Copenhagen, all Englifh property at Altona, as well as throughout the Kingdom of Denmark, has been cequefirated, and all Engliffinen who are Danifh fubjeds, have been arrefled. At the fame time an embargo has been laid on all Danifh (hipping in the river Elbe, hut no Englifh fhips have as yet been feized in the Danifh ports. Steen Bille combust!' the Danifh naval force, and Peymann and Bielfeld are ap• pointed to command in Zealand. The garrifon of Copenhagen entrails of 6000 regular troops." GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 3t. We have heard to-day that Copenhagen has been on fire in feveral places, and that a church has been burnt, and that the Englifh, in approaching their wo:ks too near the Danifh batteries, have loft feveral men by the mulquetry of the Danes, and among the reft two very eminent artillery Officers. HELSINGBURG, AUGUS r 17. There has been a goof deal of firing here daily, but nothing of importance has yet taken place be tween the Englifh forces and thole of the. Danes. A great part of the fuburbs of Copenhagen have been burnt by the Danes to impede the approaches of the Englifh, but neverthelefs the latter go on rapidly with the works. A great number of Dana velrels made prizes, have been taken to the Englifh fleet. EXTRACT nr A LETTER, DATED gt King's Palace, Charlottinfund, (near Copenhagen) Auguft 27, 1807. " Copenhagen is entirely furrounded, the frelh water is cat off, and there is fo great a fcarcity of provifions, that in a few days we may expel to hear of its furrendcring. 4• The Royal Family applied to get leave of Lord Cathcart to withdraw from Copenhagen; in paffing though the Englifh army they received mili tary honours—they are gone to Holffein, there to' remain till the fate of the capital is decided. The politics of Europe are fuch as to have rendered it of the greateft importance for England to take paid fion of the ifland, and to keep it." BULLETIN. a Head-quancrs, Stralfund, Augoft &S. •' On the t zth inn. his Majeay appointed a board of Direction. cntrufled under the fitperintendance of the Commander in Chief, with the management of the Police, and other civil affairs. The Paid Board con fins of an Adjutant General, Peyran, and four Mem bers of the Senate. On the 6th inf. the enemy attacked the front of our chain of polls near Triebfee, and drove in our troops ; the enemy continued to work at the firß parallel. In the night between the tsth and 16th intl.' they carried out two travel fes from the firfl pa• rallel, and began the fecond, which they completed the 17th. They have not yet mounted any guns on the fecond parallel. " Our artillery has continually fired on the enemy's works. The Aid de Camp, Major Von Yhten, went yeßerday with a flag of truce to the French head 'patters at Milt zow, and returned from thence at eight o'clock at night." A Cabinet Council was held yeßerday at the Se. cretary of State's Office, Downing lireet, at which were prefent his Grace the Duke of - POITLAND, Lord MuLoasys, Lord H•WICESSURY, the CHANCkLLrI of the EXCHt el; E n, and Mr. Secretary CANNING: the meeting did not break up till five o'clock. At theobove Council, the following modification of the Order of Council for detaining Danifh vefrels, publifhed in the Gazdte of Saturday latl, was deter mined on—that all veffels of that country, provided with licence from his Mai astir, bearing date prior to the 2d intl. thould be exempted from detention or in terruption of any for t. An order to this died is ez• peeed to appear in to-morrow night's Gazette. From a paflingcr by the PRINCE of WALES packet, from Lifbon, we learn, that befides ten fail of the line, the Spanifh Government has demanded ",coo troops from Portugal, to co operate with an arma ment now fitting out in the Spanifh ports, and Paid to be deßined to retake South America from the The fum of money demanded by the French from Portugal, is Paid to be four millions of crufades, which is equal to half a million flerling. When the above Gentleman left Lifbon, it was not known if that Court would accede to thefe demands. The Second Report of the Committee upon the Public Expenditure has been printed and diltributed among the Members of the lioufe of Commons. It relates exclufively to the Bank of England, of which great National enabliflament, it is a well digelied, fuccintl, and authentic hiflot y. The very intereaing information which it contains, has induced us to in fert it at full length. THE NEW EXPEDITION. yellerday Rated that another Expedition was on the point of failing, and gave the rumours in cir• culation as to its object, de, We have authority, however, to Rate, that the reports of yeaerday were incurred in feveral particulars. The command, as we Rated yeßerday, is eotrußed to General Bugs- VOID, a man of tried talent and bravery. Madeira is not thedeßination of this expedition—theiorce for it has been collated with no lets fiknce and pmnsp titude, than that for the Baltic.

We hear that another Expedition is about to be collated, under that dittinguifhed leader, Sir Jolts STRWART, the hero of Maida. The whole of it will be compofed of id and 3d battalions of regiments formed from our gallant Militia Volunteers. Mr. Est.', a King's Mellinger, - arrived this fore noon at the Foreign Office, with difpatches from Lord Lovasow Gowsa, at Peterfburgh. A Proclamation has been iffued at Hamburgh, prohibiting all EngMb goods from being introduced into HoMein, unlefs they can be accompanied with original certificates that they are on neutral account, and are imported from neutral ports. Though the following tranfadions took place fo long ago as April lafl, we have never feen any ac• count of them publifbed before : _ _ _ Extra& of a letter from a young Gentleman, to his Friend in Airibire, dated on board his Majefty's (hip Unite, off Fiume, May 19, t 807. a You will have by way of news, the furrender of Fort St. Pea tro de Nembo. an gland on the coati of Dalmatia. On the a7th of April, the Unite and Weak Handed a hundred feamen and marines, with four guns, and after a liege, and au obainate refiffance of - .wo days. it furrendered. There were brought off four brats guns, forty priforers, with thtir baggage, and the weeks of the fort blown up. The Captain and Firft Lieutenant of the Weafel were wounded during the snub. We (Unite) drove the French from the Wand Vellia, where they were cutting wood for building gun boats at Venice. We have boded fevaal veffeb with the wood, and fent them for Malta. We likewle drove the French from Lucin. We at prefent occupy the harbour, with an Inglifb tranfport from Malta, which came with provitions for us, and feveral (mall prizes?. Upwards of to,ooo men have volunteered from the Militia Regiments into the line previous to the i a of September, the period at which the volunteeriag was to begin regularly. Yefterday zoo privates of the zft battalion of the Tower Hamlet Militia volunteered ;tun the Old Buffs, cud were attefted at Whitechapel Office. A party of the 12th Light Dragons marched through London on Wednefday, ou itheir route to Romford. It is underitcod that this corps, which acquired In much honour in Egypt, is to form a part of the Supplementary Expedition. The Bethnal Green Volunteers, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel CARRICK, march to-morrow to Enfield, and remain there ten days on permanent duty. The eleftion of Mayor of Dover, for the year enfis. ing, came on on Tuefday. It was one of the &nog eit contelis ever remembered on fuch an occafien. There were four candidates, viz. WILLIAM KING, Efq. TimmA3 MANTILL, Efq. GEORGE ST/LINGER, Efq. and WILLIAM Kirocvxa, Efq. Each party (trained every nerve to bring in their favourite can didate; but Mr. Kiva was declared duly elated by a majority of 49 over Mr. MANTILL. Yefterday, the Prifoners in New Prifon, Clerken• well, and Tuthill fields Pao", were removed to New gate, preparatory to the Seffions at the Old Bailey, which will commence on Wednefday next. An elderly man, of the name of Baker, between fixty and feventy years old, who had been for feveral years employed at the Light Route, at Ramfgate, to attend the lights, and alto to watch the leveret craft in the harbour, was murdered on Monday night, or early on Tnefday morning. He was ken to pot up the lights in the evening of Monday, and was ob- Paved at a late hour on his- duty. On Tuefday morn ing, at fix o'clock, the men going to work on the Pier, obferved a quantity of blood fcatteted on the pavement and gravel ; cutiofity led them to inquire further. On looking over the Pier wall, it was dif covered that a body was drifting with the tide—on picking it up, it proved to be the body of the above unfortunate man. On examination, feveral masks of violence were difcovered, particularly a dreadful contufion and fracture on the back part of the head. Yefterday morning, about one o'clock, the garden houfe of JOHN ORD, Efq. of Walham Green, was dilcovered to be on fire, and raged fo furioufly that in a fhort period the whole fabric was levelled with the ground. It is with the greateft concern we add, that Mr. Wm ire, the head Gardener, who was accuftomed to fleep in the premifes, unfortunately perifhed in the flames ; a part of the body was found, the extremities of which were literally burnt to a cinder. Attached to the building was a ftable wherein was a valuable horfe, which alto fell a victim to the fury of this lamentable conflagration. Various caufes are attributed to this melancholy accident, the moft probable of which appears to be, that Mr. White had fallen afleep before he had extinguilhed the candle, which is fuppofed to have communicated with the bed curtains ; and that he was fuffocated in his en. deavour to alarm the neighbourhood. The Gas den houfe was fortunately dstached from the dwelling of Mr. Ord, or in all ptobability the whole would have been dearoyed. • N4UTICAL INTELLIGENCE. MAILS—Wind N. W. •111‘. DUE •lt.

She had been taken only two days before by a French privateer. The Admiral Rainier is arrived in the River. We hear that the above Indiamen fell in with the Cannonier and Piedmontaile French frigates; but the litter kept at a refpeitable diftance, and did no; attempt to moleft the Indiamen, who were well pre• pared, 'and eager to give the enemy battle. We learn, by a paffenger arrived here, that rice, at Manilla, was exceedingly dear, having been fold At about eight dollars per bag. Bread was likewife dear in proportion. MADRAS GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, FEBRUARY s 6. On - Sunday evening anchored in our harbour an Arab (hip, in charge of Mr. RICHARDS, a Midthipsnan of his Majefty's Ihip CORNWALLIS. This fhip had been captured by the Piedmontaife French frigate, on the 17th September laft, off 'Angeogo ' the crew put on board another Arab, that was boar Jed by the fri gate, leaving only three Lafcars on board, to take care of fome hones, and with an Officer and a few French men they difpatched her for the Mauritius.
