LONDON, THURSDAY, Sarraum 3. We yesterday announced the arrival of the long expeaed oticial dispatches from Admiral G/114111111. mg were brought by Mr. HILL, our Charge er,v [ins. SJon after they were opened, last morning, the following communication was made to the Los o .vIA volt, posted upon the front of the Man •.irn-liouse, published at LLOYD'S, and communi sat-d to the public is a SECOND EDITION of this rap ADMIRALTY-OfIfICSI .111 PT 4. - Lord Mutonsys has the honour to acquaint the Loan ‘.lsvoa, that dispatches have been this morn. ing received from Admiral GA salsa, with an ac. cunt that the troops, under the command of Lieu tenant-General Lord Ca TIIC•IT, were landed Wm-lour OPPOSI I'ION Wibecit, in the land of Zealand, eight miles North of Copen. tarn, at five o'clock cat. on the 16:h of August." ...r e the Lehi lion. the Lod Mayor." At the rime time a Bulletin, of which the fol. lowing is a copy, was circulated among the Mi nisters:— " ADI4IIALTY•OFIICI. sIPT. 2. " By dispatches reamed this morning, from ♦dmiral Gambits. dated August 16, brought so Scarborough by the Syiero cutter, it e prears the British Army, under Lord CATIIC44T, hurtled at \\Tiber& • village between Eisineur and Copen. Garen, about eigtit miles from the latter, on the hid+ of August, in the morning, without opposi tion. The Lieutenant of the cutter reports that a Danish frigate. of S 2 guns, was taken by the Coatis so the 15th. alter au lithos of SO miasma. lite Danish frigate had 341 mat killed and woundeA ; OMNI one wounded." In the cource of the day a further communication WAS made to the Lord Mayor, to the following tenor : MT LORD, D•waistatiews Supt 3 I have the honour of loclosing, for your Lord iwormation. the suostai.c! of Dispatches which 1 have this day received from Admiral Gam bier and L. !rd Cathcart. I have tie honour to lw, my L-rd. 1 our L odutip's most nb •Ltinnt Servant. CASTLEREAGH. ss Dispataiss have been received from Lietee- I giant-General Lord Cathcart, sad Vice-Admiral Gambier, by which it appears, that Lord Crhzii t joined the Admiral on the 12th ult. that on the 13th, Mr. 'faylor, His Majesty's Minister at the C.)nr t of Copenhagen, having left that city, upon Cie Danish (.I,,vcromunt having declined to enter into an ami cible arrangement, it was determined to land the army early on the morning of the 14th ;hut owiog to the contrary winds, the ships of war anJ transports could not be brought up to the place of debits katton, rill li,!e in the ev. ning of the 15th. Early, how ever, in the morning of the l(hh, the army was ditembarked at the village of Vedbech, about ten mi!es north of Copenhagen, without any oppo sition. " Lord Rosily% with the troops front Beralsond, arrived, on the 14th. from off Hwen Island. "Upon the deturkation of the troops. a Pinelama- tion by the Commander of His Majesty's Sea and Land Forces was iscuad, declaring to the lobe -Kant' of Zealand, the cirt.omvances under which They had felt themselves compelled to proceed to the debarkation of the army. 4 ' By private !octets of the 17th, it appears that Copenhagen was then completely invested. The alonsion of troops from Stralsund hid anchor ed in Kioge Bay, on the preceding day. They were lied upon, without are, from the Danish batteries." The :shove, we believe, constitute.; the substance of the whole of the dispatches received by Go vetnisseat. It accounts sufficiently for the pro crastination of hostile operations so many days after all attempt at amicable arrangement had f*iLd, and al.o for the delay in receiving the 0f64.41 accounts, the wind being almost uni iotmly adverse, and Mr. HILL a fortnight oo Lis passage. The cireurnitanee of the troop* having ant with no opposition, encourages a hops that the Danes will not make the obstinate resistance to be dreaded from their charaEter for courage, and the threats held out in the Foreign Papers. Had they resolved to defend themselves with all their ener gies, we might have expeiked to see the garrison of Copenhagen meeting our army on the shore, in stead of shutting itself in that capital, where, in vested by sea and land, there appears no alterna tive but defeat or capitulation. Hwen, the island off which Lord Rossora sr. ri►ed on the 14th, with the troops from Stralsund, is a fertile island, situate in the Sound, exaelly oppo site Wybeck. the little bay in which the troops ef freed a landing on the 16th. It seas granted to SWCDCN by the treaty of Roschild, in the year 1658, It is about 8160 paces in circumference, and at a distance has the appearance of a high moun tain. The island was granted by Fitweatca 11.

Kioge Bay. in which the divisions of troops from Stralsund anchored on the 16th, is a hay of Zea 'arid, strerchrog South West from Copenhagen. No further intelligence from Admiral GAst Rita had arrived when this Paper was put to press. An Officer with dispatches was hourly expeeted.

A series of well seletted performances, and of superior sifting, in Mrs. Powel, Mr , Edwin, and Miss Walstein, in Mr. Pope, Mr. H. Johnston, and Irish Johnstone, aff trded, last week, continued snit jetls of public approbation and applause, and he would be a fastidious critic indeed who would not concur in their praise. • Thursday night, the Melo-Drame of nbli was repeated to a full house and a fashionable audience. The aging of Mr. H. Johnston and Mrs. Powell might have made a worse piece tol table in the concludinit scenes, and these performers have ren dered Tekeli popular. The extravagant farce of Nelley diary followed, in wl•ich Irish Johnstone, in M•Serape, as usual drew forth thunders of applause, and continued rdro►U in the songs. Mrs. Edwin, during the performance of T he Car few, on Wednesday evening, received an injury from a blow given her head by the sudden fall of one of the drop scenes, which it is feared is not of a slight nature. The sympathy of the au.tience uas strongly expressed at Vie time this disagreeable ac cident took place. Miss Webb. with her usual ac commodation, undertook the part which this un fortanare circumstance hAci incapacitated Mrs. Ed win from performing. _ _ _ PO i.? xr. AN isiraomrTu, IT NR.

Russell-square, where he resided for some time, hut went away about a month since, taking the key of the apartment with him.— - Finding him so long away, the landlord at last broke the door open, and discovered that the bed cut tiins, and some sifter articles of furniture, had been carr:e I off, and were traced to a Pawn-broker, where thcc had been pledged by the Prisoner.

The husband ' pleaded the sullenness and ill temper of his wife. while it was evident, from his own manner, that he WAS a can of the most violent passions. The M• 011 rRATI desired that he should either be properly reconciled to his wife, or make her a reasonable separate allowance ; otherwise be should be committed for the assault, until be should find bad.

The amount of the augmentation demanded Irons Mrs. Pepys alone, was either four or eight pounds a year, and from the other parishioners in proportion. This demand was res;sted by all the parishioners, and excited great interat, as well ns a numerous and very respectable assemblage, which crowded the Court.—lt was argued by the Learned Counsel. that this was a most illegal and imposing demand by the Re/tor, who had been paid the accustomed sum uniformly paid to such Re[tors for a century. last past; and he moved the Court to postpone the hearing of this extracrdiary cause to some day in the ensuing week, whe.t the Lord Mayor could en gage the time of the Court for the whole day urn the subjeet, which is to be on both s.des most sire. numbly litigated, and was considered a new case.
