The operations against the place have been coessiderably forwarded by the success of a general engegensett, which took place on the Osh, in the vicinity of the fortress. The Swedes were driven from all their outposts, and lost from 4 to 500 men. The loss of the French was much less, thAgh the Ered on them film more than 2,000 cannon, trt .rters, and howisiers.

The only answer the Prince made Was by setting out fir Copenhagen to make preparations for defence. The English have before Copenhag..n 16 ships of war and 20,000 troops. 'llse Danes, independent of the militia, have 12,000 men in the island of Zealand.

On the 4th inst. at eight in the evening, an Eng lish division, consisting of four ships of the line, five frigates, and eight vehels of war of smaller force, passed the Great Belt, and contins:d its way for the Sound.

The ships detached by Admiral Gambier the day after his arrival in the road of Elsineur, appear to hive been emended to form a telegraphic line and line of observation from that point to the Isle of Fusten, and by that to establish a communication vith the division of Admiral Keats, through the Cleat Belt.

The latest account from Copenha. gen is date from that city on the 15th. It appears that Mr. JACKSON Oropused to - tbs PRINCII Roves at Kiel, that Denmark should join England and See• den against Russia and France ; that the Patrice would not listen to the proposal, but immediately set out for Copenhagen, where he arrived on the lith ; and that on the 12 . 11 he went with the King to Colding, in Jutland, to which place he was fol. lowed by several Officers of his Court.
