. : IVIZ;GN INTELLIGENCE. HOLSTiIN, SEPT. .—After a dreadful bombard= meat, which lasted four' nights and three days with: out intermission, and after a spirited defence, Co penhagen has surrendered. According to the Capi tulation, signed on the 7th, the banish Fleet is to be completely fitted out, and delivered up to the English, till a General Peace ; and l during the armistice of six weeks, the Citadel and both the Holms are to be put in their possession. Besides the principal church, several streets le the northern quarter of the town are mostly in ashes; there is scarcely a house that is not damaged. .According to report, the bombs, grenades, and rockets thrown into the town, exclusive of the can eon -shot, exceeded 2000 in number. Fifteen hun dred Burghers and inhabitants have lost their lives; and four hundred wounded persons, of both sexes, have been carried to' Frederick's Hospital. Not withstanding this dreadful devastation, the Courage and valour of the garriion, supported by their Bur ghers, can scarcely be described. The King's Life Guard, mostly composed of Students, under Count RAUCH, distinguished themselves to such a degree, that the English called them " The Corps of Offi cers.". Their loss consists of sixty killed and wounded. The artillery and the Officers of every description have done all that could be expeeled of brave men. The Commandant, Major• General PEIKAN, was rounded by a musket-ball, in the attack , upon the Classen Garden. Several Officers are dead of their wounds. The boinbaiclment began on the 2d of September, and lasted till the evening of the sth. The report ofthe destruaion of the Castle of Fred icksberg, is without foundation. There is another rumour not yet cottfinneci, that Major-General Ox iiottd, and several Officers, are made prisoners. General CAsrpitao t it. succeeded in getting over to Moen, with his regirheht of cavalry. After the Convention %O.'S settled, Count SCHMET• TAII, Commandant of the Royal Horse-Guards, was dispatched with , Count HOLGkit HOLCKE, to bear the lamentable intelligence to rite Clown.

This measure is .regarded by our newipapers as by no means incou4istent with the pacific system of our Court.

LEGHORN, 'SEPT. 2.--"-The regulations for pie venting any communication with England are to be carried into execution with increased rigour and ac tivity in all the territories of 'the Allies of France.

It has beeti urgid amour; one.uf the chief topics a censure against Sir Hums POPHAM; that in order to effect his designs against Beenos Ayres, he heft the Cape of Good Hope in an un proteCted state. Upon this, ground of censure thi Author of the Preflice offers the foll Owing toguet observations : " The principal ground of aecdsation relied r.pon by those who instituted, eotiduaed, or advocated; the, prosecution of Sir Home Poptiatn , was this, that, by withdrawing his forces, be left thv Cape of Good 1-tope undefended.' •lintrwill it be credited that, at the very moment this ()ilea was .on his trial at Portsmouth, the Admiralty which put forth so prominently such an article ~ of charge against him, had stationed o nl y one Frigafrat the Cape of. Good Hope for its security .And . the resider of the trial will perceive that Sir Home Popham, upost proceeding to America, lbft behind him a Frigate at the Cape therefore, so far as regarded the naval defence of the Cape, the nUodgeci neglect of Sir Home.Pophana.was quite as effedive as the actual vigilance of the Admiralty.,., " With this fad in the contemplation of th © • . reader, how is it poss ible fOr hits, if free from pd. vate pique and party prejudice, to ,reflect without astonishment, and something More, upon that which constitutes a main pan of the charge. Sir Home Popham was placed with a large Fleet in such a situation. as, it aPpeats frOrti evidence, must have rendered it for some .mouths incapable of 'anion—positively uselesi.
