Mr. HILL, whole arrival from the Baltic we an nounced yeaerday, was the bearer of the difpatches from Admiral GAMBIER and Lord CATHCART.-- The fubliance of ihefe difpatches, befides being com municated to the LORD MAYOR in the fhort letter from Lord MuLGRAVI which we gave yefterday, was circulated in the courfe of the day among the friends of Miniaers in the following Note : " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, September s• 66 By difpatches received this morring, from Ad " miral GAMDIER, dated Augua 16, brought in " Scarborough by the Sylvia cutter, it appears the " Briti(h Army, under Lord CATHCART, landed at " Wiburg, a village between Elfineur and Copen hagen, about eight miles from the latter, on the 64 t6th Augun, in the morning, without oppolition. " The Lieutenant of the cutter reports that a Da " nifh frigate, of 32 guns, was taken by the Comus 44 on the tsth, after an aaion of go minutes. The " Dana frigate bad 34 men killed and wounded ; " the COMUS, one wounded." In the condi of the afternoon a further communi , tion was made to the Lnrd Maylr, as follows : " DOWNING-STREET, SEPT. s, dm.

" CART, by which it appears that Lord C•vacarr " joined Admiral GAMBIER on the 1 ath ult. " Mr. TAYLOR, his Majetty's Miniller at the Court of Copenhagen, finding the Dann Government " would not come to amicable terms, had left the city. " It was then determined the troops Mould be land " ed on die morning of the t4th ; but contrary winds " prevented the (hips and tranfports from arriving " at the place of debarkation till late in the evening " of the 15th ; early, however, on the following mot " ning, the troops were ditembarked without any op " petition, at a village r °miles north of Copenhagen. " Lord Ross Lv N, with the forces from Stralfund, had " arrived on the 14th at Neva Bland. " After the Debarkation had been effetied. the " Commanders of the Sca and Land Forces iffued a 4 4 Proclamation, declaring, to the inhabitants of Zta -44 land, the circumtlances under which they felt " themfelves authorized to proceed to the debarka " tion of the troops. " By private letters of the s7th, it appears that " Copenhagen was completely inveßed by our troops, and that the forces from Stralfund had anchored in " Kiogc Bay : they had been fired at from the 4 4 Danish batteties, but fortunately without effeel." Such is the fulsaance of the difpatches received yeßerday by Government. Difpatches of a mole recent date, however, were this day received in town, brought to Yarmouth yetletday by the Swam cutter.

Th: following is an authentic Copy of the Procla• mation riiftted by Admiral Gs r 4 aim and Lord CaTH• CART, upon their landing in Zealand, and alluded to in Lord CA M., It RACK'S enmmlln i clt i on tn the Loan MAYOR. It is an important document, and will be read with high interell : eg Whereas the prefent Treaties of Peace, and the changes of Government and of Territory, acceded to by fo many Powers, have f► far encreafed the in fluence of France on the Continent of Europe, as to tender it impoffible for Denma►k, though it defires , to be neutral, to preferve its neutrality, and ;bfo• lntely neceffary for thole who continue to refill -she French aggrefEon, to take meafures to prevent the arms of Neutral Powers from bcing turned agairilt duns : • " In this view, the Rime cannot regard the pre fent pofitiun of Denmark with indifference ; and his MAJESTY *has fent Negociators, with ample powers, to his Dam ism Maissvv, to requeQ, In the mon arrki. cable manner, fuch explanations as the times require, and a concurrence in fuel] meafures, as can alone give fecurity againil the farther mifchieft which the French meditate, through the acquifition of the Da nith Navy. _ _ _ __ _ 64 The KING, our Royal ani mon Gracious MAI ter, has therefore judged it expedient, to defire the temporary depth of the Danith (hips of the line, in une of his MA3E:Ty's ports. _ _ _ " This depofit teems to be fo jail, and fo penfably need:try, under the relative circumftances of the Neutral and Belligerent Powers, that his Ma jamr has further deemed it a duty to himfelf, and to his penpll, to fupport this demand by a powerful fleet, and 14 an army amply fupplied with every preparation necettary for the molt alive and deter mined enterprise. _ _ 4 6 We come, therefore, to your (bores, Inhabitants of 4 Gealand ! not as enemies, but in (elf defence, to prevent thofe who have fo long diflurbed the Peace of Europe, from compelling the Farce of your Navy to be turned againll us. • 44 We aik depofit, we have not looked to capture —fo far from it, the moll folemn pledge has been offered to your Government, and is hereby renewed in the Name, and at the Exprefs Command of the Kim°, our Mallet, that if our demand is amicably acceded to, every (hip belonging to Denmark, (hall, at the Cencluflon of a General Peace, be reamed to her, in the fame condition and bate of cepipment, as when received under the proteelion of the Britifh Flag. 4 4 It is in the power of your Government by a word, to (heath our (words, moft reltreantly drawn agiinft you ; but if, on the other hand, the machinations of France render you deaf to the voice of reafon and the call of lriendfhip, the innocent blood that will be fpilt, and the horrcrs of a belieged and a bombarded capital, muff fall on your own leads, and on thole of your cruel advifers. 46 His MAJPSTY'S feamen and foldiers, when on (bore, will treat Zealand, as long as your condo° to them permits it, on the footing of a province of the moll friendly Power in alliance with Great Britain, whole territory has the misfortune to be the theatre of War. s' The perfons of all thofe who remain at home, and who do not take an hoftile part, will be held facred.

" Much convenience will atife to the inhabitants, and much conft•fiun and lofi to them will be prevent ed, if perfuns in authority are found in the feveral difiries to whom requifitions may be addreffed, and throngh whom claims for payment may be fettled and liquidated. 44 If Inch perfons are appointed, and difcharge their duty, without meddling in matters which do not concern them, they (hall be refpeeted, and all requi fitions [ball be addrelTed to them, through the pro per channels, and departments of the Navy and Army as forbearance on the part of the inhabitants is effential to the principle of thefe arrangements, it is neiefTary that all manner of civil perfons fhoold remain at their refpellive habitationr, and any pea fants, or other perfons, found in arms, fingly, or in (mall troops, or who may be guilty of any as of vio lence, mull expea to be treated with rigour. 44 The Government of his Dattiss MAJESTY hav ing hitherto refufed to treat this matter in an ami cable way, part of the army has been difembarked, and the whole force has affumed a warlike attitude ; but it is as yet not too late for the voice of reafon and triodtration to be heard. " Given in the Sound. under our Hands and Soils, this attt day of ALIA, cloy." Wicked as above.) Early this. mulling arrived Lieutenant LUCAS, in the SWAN cutter, with difpatches from Admiral GAMBISR, and letters from the fleet, which agree with the new afloat, that our troops, to the amount of 30,c00, wete landed on the Iffind, without 4n) refittance ; and that they had thrown up works oppo fire to thole of the Danes; that they had taken 15 waggons, loaded with ammunition ; and had all taken a battery, with goo men, which furrendera without filing a gun.
