Her Royal Majesty the Queen, and her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Wilhehuina, arrived here on the 14th instant, at midnight. Her Royal Majesty was met outside the town by the Com manding Naval Officer, Vice-Admiral Puke, and his Staff who followed Her Majesty's carriage trough the town ; at the gate of the city the Magistrates and Livery were assembled, and be fore the house inhabited by His Maj-sty, the Noblemen of his suite received Her Majesty. The castle fired a salute, and the garrison paraded in the street. Yesterday, at half past twelve o'clock in the morning, the Trqja frigate dropped anci u w in the Road. His royal Majesty, the King of France, :tad His Royal Highness the Duke of Angina!erne. were on board ; hut as they world not allow the Commandsr of the frigate, Major Nottleikas, to hoist any colours, their arrival was not known until Count D'Avalay. on the part of the King his master, came on shore to wait on His Majesty. The King, thereupon, immediately ordered Vice-Admi ral Puke to go en board the frigate; hut he was met half-way by His Fiencli Majesty, who, in order to prevent all preparations for his reception, would not wait the return of Count D'Avaray. The King went on shore, and proceeded to the house got ready for him ; the Castle s fluted, and a Guard of Honour drew up before the house. On account of the continuance of His Majesty's illness, and as the illustrious travellers also wanted souse rest, after an unpleasant set voya ! te, Ilis Ma jesty ordered his friend the Lord Chamberlain, Baton Munck, to congratulate the above illustrious per sonages on their safe arrival, and to express liis 'Majesty's wish to sce them us the morning, at half past l I o'clock. Count Lower:iielm was al; s. nt by Her Majesty for the same purpose. At the time above-mentioned, His it' , 74l riench Majesty ar rived with the Duke D'Angoeliene, at tee 'loose inhabited by the Kiag, attended by the Baron Mulick, His Nlajesty's First Lori ChemherLiia, who had been sent to condua them thither. On the stair-case, and in the great-hall, the Ofticers of the Navy formed a double line ; sc.d ir. one piece all the officers were drawn up, ee.ao are In ights o. the royal French Order—Pore lc na.ti'c (tor inelitary merit). At the door His islajesty was re ceived by the whole Court; an i, in the Kirg's anti room, were Her Majesty and her two ladies cf ho nour, the Countess Oxenstierna, and her da:ghters, who followed His Royal French Majesty, and the Duke a'Angoulerne, to the door of lii. M ,jesty's l oom, which they entered, atter an boar's - 11111/erS3.. th.):l with the King and Queen. The NaVernen be. ^-ing to llis French Majesty's suite were in.ru dusts/ and present d to Their Majesties, and there upou the Alustrious rravellsrs reached to the house which they inhabit. In the afternoon, they took a view of the naw dock, and the duck yard. His French Majesty is attended by Court D'Avaray, Duke Je (sr..mmont, Count Daman, Chevalier de Reviere. His Rnyal Majety's health is daily improving, and his strength continually increasing.—(Gett,n 4tgb Gavel, ' Sept. 22 ) Fellow-. itirens—A l .l our means of dcte..ce hos ing proved insuffizient, and it being no longer in Our power to prevent the enemy from carrying ?vs trenches SC) near the town, that he roar set it on lire whenever be pleases, I, as well as the ee‘t of the Commanding Office's, are convinced that the garrison is not sufficiently strohg, eiftiflually to de fend the town against the enemy, should he endea vour to carry it by assault; a natural result of which mutt be, that the enemy renders himself master of the dock.yards, arsenals, and fleet. Uwier these circumstance:, in c:ricr to prevent the eff ision of in sistent Mond, and the necessary consequence.: of the ;citation of the town by assault, I have thought it right to conclude a capitulation with the Corn. manders in Chief of the enemy's tortes, where by I have been obliged so surrenifer the fl:!et. and to permit the enemy to occupy the C tadel, Frederick'.-haven, and the D..ck-yard, for such A 'length of time as shall be required, to carry the ships of war in:o the mild ; on this express comfit:on, that all the 14:i places shall be res.orrd, and the Isle of Zealand evacuated by the Et.elilot troops within +is weeks at :cast, and that ail • taufc and rivate property, bath in this town and the v:hol.• Isle of Zealsnd, shall be respeZtod.

COPENHAGEN, EEPT. 8. Last Wednesday evening, the enemy commenced a most tremendous bombardment against the West and North part of the town. It is calculated, upon an average, twenty-five hundred shells, fire balls, fire-rockets, and red-hot balls, were thrown into the place, many persons were wounded, and upwards of thirty places were set on fire in the town ; but the conflagrations were got under by the exertion of the firemen. On Thursday evening, their batteries were almost silent ; but the bombard ment recommenced on Friday with the utmost fury. In the evening the timber yard was set en fire. A small powder magaaine of our battery in that place being blown up, it became necessary to abandon the battery. At the same time zeveral places in the West and North-west part of the town w. re on fire ; the steeple of the Church of our I.ady was in a blaze, and fell down under the continual shouts and huzzas of the enemy's troops ; and from want of water, the fire spread through Peter, North, K an nike, Fiol, Ski.lcn, Skinder, and several other streets. The tire raged with unabated fury on Sa turday and Sunday, and ceased yesterday, in the Land-Market, alter Rose•street, North -street, Ger trude -street. and several others, had been reduced to heaps of ashes. Yesterdsy at noon a capitulation was coaclu led, and in the afternoon the enemy took possession of t:.e cirada and dock-yards Proclamations, prov ing the nece.sity of t anquillity and order, have been read and distrinuteJ.

VILAKKVORT, •UG. IS. The Baron Ferdinand de Giramo has had a sin gular duel with an English Officer of superior rank, in Sicily. They quarrelled at Palermo. The Eng lishman proposed that they should fight with pistols, which the Baron consented to, on condition that the duel should take place on the summit of Mount /Env, and that the body of him, who was killed, should be thrown into the crater of that Volcano. The duel was aAually fought; bat the Englishman, at the second shot, was only wounded in the aim, and the Baron only received a ball in his hat. BANKS OF TN RHINF, AUG I'. 17.

An article from Copenhagen states, that during the siege, the city was at tine time on fire in thirty differ ent places. .1 he fire raged for three days successively; and it is computed. that in one day 2,500 sheik, red hot balls, &c. were fired into it. *the nuncespu Erb ed at Copenhagen, state that the capitulation was aSsolutely necessary, to prevent the dreadful conse quences of an assault, and recommend order in the stare of oppression under which the Danes labour at present.
