• SUPPLEM EN 1' 'TO TIM LONDON GAZETTE. Downing-sireq, Oa. 31, 1807. Ertrel of a Dispatch, of which the following is an _Extisa67, has been received from Lieut.-General the Bight Hon: Lord Cathcart, K. 7'. addresied to the Lord Viscount Castlereagh, one of His Ma jeity's Principal Secretarks of State, dated on board His Majesty's Ship 4fricaine, the 21st Ooloter, 1807. As no sort of infrnaion of ,the Capitulation had been macie,by, the Danes, who, on the contrary, toted most honourably in the striet and literal fblfil- mmt , of their engagement ; with a view .to the ful fil of the articles of the Capitulation on our par „it was decided 40 commence the embarkation or ihe army on Tuesday the I3th instant. Accordingly, on that day, the eighth: battalion of the line of the King's German Legion were eat b.rked in the arsenal ; and. on the 14th, the . two li. ht battalion of the King's German Legion, to g ther whit Brigaditr-General McFarlane's brigafle, . _ viz, the 7th and , Bth Regiments of BritiSh, which embarked in •the,same Ships which brought them front Hull. These corps with the depot and Garri son Company of the Legiolt, and . the sick and wounded of the Army, completely occupied all the Troop Ships, whetherfur hoMe or ,foreign service, which had trot been appropriated to the conveyance ofmaval stores: .. These Ships having been removed to the Roads, were replaced by the Horse Ships. On the same day the advanced posts were with drawn from -Kolhaven, Werdetiberg, Corsoer Kal lenberg, fredericksberg,:liersholm, and adjacents, and proceeding through a chain of cavalry posts, reached the environs .of Copenhagen in three marches.* The embarkation of the Artillery, with the 'Field and Battering Ordnance, having been gradually car-, r:ed on from the Kalk Branderie,'that of the Caval ry and foreign Artillery in :the Dock Yard, and that of the British Regiments from the Citadel, to the Men of War, there remained on shore on. 'St day afternoon: the i t th tnst. only the Brigade of Guards, who moved on that dayfrom the Palace of Frederici berg to the strand near lielleriap, with one Brigade of .British Light Artillery, the flank Companies of the 32d and Soth Regiments, : with the Etild Regi went,. under Major -Gen. Spencer,/ in the Arsenal ; and the 4th regiment, with a detachment of ,Royal .Arrilbry in the Citadel,. under tieut. 7 Col. Wynch,, who a` ticl as Lieutenant Governor, the 4th, or. King's own,' regiment, having been in garrison there the, whole . Lieut.-Cieneral Sir Geo. Ludlow was appointed to command. the rear-gnard of, the army. , In the evening of the Igth inst. a gale of wind cattle on, which lured 2 hours, and rendered fur ther embarkation impossible, and any communication from theshore with. the ships very ditlieult. As soon as it bedatne' evident that the evacuation o f the islarid on the 19th was imprAicable; a cor respondence took place between the British and Da nish .Head-quarters, the result of which left ne 'rea son to apprehend 'that - hostilities would re-commence nit either side at the expiration of the term, although the Danish General protested, in strong terms; against our retaining the Citadel, which, on the other band; it was not judged expedient to ev acuate . On the Qoth the morning was calm, and as soon as it was light the drums of all his Majesty's regi-. ;vents on shore beat the General ; and the. Dock Yard and H.trbour being entirely cleared of Toms ports and British Vessels, the corps commanded by Major-General Spencer rowed out Of the Arsenal wider the guns of the Citadel, and proceeded along the shore' to iiellerop, t,tj he in readiness to Leinforce t h e Guards, NJajesty's Sloop Rosamood having been also towe.d out of the Harbour, and the King's Ships within reach of the Three Crown Bint err h a y. ing got under weigh, the 4th regiment rnuthedout prticeeded to join the Guards, covered by its own flank companies and by a picquet of the Gu.drds. 'As soon asthey had marched the bridge was drawn up, and the British. Fort-. Adjutant was sent to the D.ttisii Head-qua; tens to acquaint the' (7.4i ; nieral that he v, as at liberty to send a guard to take charge of t h o ; ,aixordingly a small detachment of the borai ArtiNry , and.of the 4th regiment Were volley hy a guard Danish troops, and the Ordnance lovetnoties and Keys having 'been' given aver to the i'.'icers ;pointed to receive I bein,gby,Major k"-r, the Fort Major, and.

Having so far accomplished the service on which I have been employed, I fed it my duty to state the great aativity, ,'energy, and zeal, which have been sliewn by Vice-Admiral Stanhope and Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Hood, in superintendiun• the equipment of the Danish Ships and the emarkatiOn of the stores from the arsenal ; nor has the same spirit been less Manifest in the Captains, Officers, Seamen, and Marines, who have all executed their respettive parts in the general exertion with a promptitude and alacrity which has not only entitled them to my warmest thanks and praise, but will, I doubt not, whea.the aggregate result of their labour is con sidered, obtain for them the approbation of their Sovereign, and the applause of the nation: In The space of six weeks, sixteen Sail of the Line, nine Frigates, fourteen Sloops of War and smaller Veisels, besides Gun-boats, have been fitted for and all the large Ships laden with masts, spars, timber,, and other stores, from the Arsenal, from whence also ninety-two cargoes have been shipped on board Transports and other Vessels char tered for the purpose, the sum of whose ba= . th exceeds twenty thousand tons: A considerable number of masts and spars have been put on board the Leyden and Inflexible, which were well adapted for this purpose, and some valuable Stores on board his Majesty's Ships; nor ,can I forbear to remark, that such was the emulation among the several Ships of . the Fleet to which the Danish Ships were re , . spe6lively attached for equipment, that within nine days fOurteen Sail of the Line were brought out of the Harbour, although several of them underwent, in our hands, considerable repairs. Of the three Ships= the stocks, two. have been taken to pieces, and„the useful part of their timbers bronght away.i and the third, being in a considerable stare of for, wardness, was sawed in various parts, and suffered. to•fall over. . . On a review of the whole, I think it may be asserted; without deroaating from the merit of any formitservice, that cliaraCteristicaCtivity of British Officers, Seamen, . and Marines,' was never more zealously exerted than on this occasion ; but I . must not omit at the same time to' inform their LOrdships, that a very considerable proportion of the labour of the. Arsenal has been performed with equal zeal and energy, by large •working parties from the Army, whose exertions entide them to the same praise. ' I beg leave to express the great satisfaction I kiavefelt from the zealons and attentive services of Rear-Admiral Essington, to whom the general so.; perintendance of the numerous,Transports, and the re-embarkation of the _Army, with allits Artillery and Stores, has been committed, . I embrace this opportunity to : make a particular acknowledgement of the very able and judicious dispositions which Itear-Admiral 'Keats has made from time to time of the force under his command, for guarding the Belt ; and the vigilant attention which his whole Squadron hive paid to'this'itn , portant branch of the service. Sir Home Popham has not ceased to manifest his usual 'zeal and ability in the assistance he has ren dered me in the various services of the Pleet ; .and I should not do justice to the diligent attention and arduous endeavours of Captain Mackenzie to,fulfil the civil duties of the Arsenal, which were com mitted to his Management and superintendance, if I did not,. on this occasion, express my warm ap probation.of his exertions, and I beg leave to recom mend him to their Lordships' favourable notice. I have the honour to transmit herewith a list of the Danish Ships and. Vessels which have been brought away, and of those destroyed. The account of the Stores shipped from the Arsenal shall also be sent as soon as. the several retuins can be collected and arranged. . • t have the honourlo be, &c. • (Signed) J. . N. 13.

FALSUM AUDEAT ? . LONDON, MONDAY. NOVEMBER '2, 1807. A considerable degree of misunderstanding' apf pears to subsist with respea to the MOUVCS which induced Lours XVIII. to leave Mittau and to .. COIDe to this Country, and also with regard to' the causes' which Shave delayed his landing at Yarmouth. We are, however, enabled to assure - the Puilic, that the account of that Prince having come here as a fugi. tive, being driven out of the proteaion of Russia, is unfounded. Not only does his family remain at Mitten, ,but he has the fullest assurances from, the Emperor ALEXANDER that his retirement 'at Mittau shall never be interfered with, 'nor his Pension withdrawn, , He has, we understand, Cis. tinetly stated to thistourt, that he does not cone here to find an asylum, but for mere political par. poses. It is ibis circumstance which has created all the difficulties respeCting this unfortunate Personage, as he never intimated, before his arrival, his inten tion to' come, or his objet in coming.; . And it is possible that his presence here might impede rather than "facilitate the very objects upon', which his expedition is founded. We 'cannot refrain from observing, that the advisers of this unfortunate Prince seem to have acted with the utmost impm priettin recommending him to come to this King dom, without a previous communication to his Majesty •or 'his Ministers, and in advising him to come for mere political pUrposes, without diSclosing to Ministers what these purposes were ; or consulting them whether they 'Could • be best ef . fetied by his•continued residence at Mittau, or by' his arrival here; or whether his objeas were such as his Majesty's Ministers could approye of, of tin= dertake. Mr. Iloss, Private Secretary to Mr. CANNING, was sent down ,yesterday to Yarmouth. His Majesty's Ship Narcissus is arrived in the Channel, with a Fleet under Convoy frpin OportO, which place they left on the 15th ult.' and have most of the EngllslrFaaory on board—having been Warned by the PRINCE REGENT to leave the Country, in consequence of French Troops being hourly ex pealed to march in. ANOTHER Expedition will sail from this Country in a very short time, in which Sir SIDNEY &ma is to have the naval corntnand. Various rumours are of course its circulation with regard to its destination ; but the same laudable secrecy which was maintained with regard to the last Expedition, ha's been; and will, we , have no doubt, be preserved with respea to the present one. We do not therefore think it right to offer speculation upon this subject, which may be produaive of mischief, but which can 'do zio possible good. A Suppletnentary Gazette was published yester day, containing Letters from Lord CATHCART and Admiral GAUDIER, which , give the details of the final evacuation of the Island of Zealand,' which appears to have been conducted with the greatest skill, and to have' been accomplished without:the slightest loss. Every proper precaution was adopt ed, in case the Danes bad attempted to Molest our troops during their embarkation, but no hostile dis-' position was manifested—on the contrary, the in habitants behaired with great civility to our troops. Although the CROWN PRINCE did'not think proper to ratify the eapittilation . signed by.evene PEYMAN, yet as there was no infraction of it on the part of the Danes, who„ .as Lord CATHCART states, acted most honourably in the fulfilment of their engage ments,' the preparations for performing our part of the engagement commenced on the t3th ult. and on that day the eight Battalions of ,the Jits,.'s Ger man Legion were embarked. • On, the subsequent day the Advanced Posts were withdrawn, and the 'embarkation 'continued till the Isth,, on which day a gale of wind came on; which rendered all.Com 'munication bet Ween the Ships, and the Shore im praaicable. According to the terms or trapito lation, the evacuation should have been coMpleted . on the 16th, that is to say, in six weeks from the , ~7th of September ; but in consequence of the gale on the 18th, it became impossible. to complete the evacuation on the loth. A correspondence then took place between the British and • the Danish ilea& quarters,• in which it was agreed that hostili ,iies should pot commence at :the expiration of the term of the Capitulation. tUt 'the Danish General -maoitested a strong anxiety to be put in possession of the Citadel on the night of 'the 19th. His re quest Was, however,-for very obvious reason's, re , fused; and the weather becorning,lair, the whole, of the TrOops. Weie embarked on the loth.. The Danish Fleet brought away consists of 16 Sail of the Line, nine'Frigates, fourteen Sloops of War, besides Gun-brigs .and other small craft. Of three Vessels that were 'on the stocks two were taken: to pieces, •,and the useful' parts brought away, and die third destroyed. 'Ninety-two Vessels, whose freight ex :coeds 20,000 tons, have been•laden with naval stores, and . all our large Ships 'are laden with masts, spars, tienber, &cc. NIVATE Letters from St. Petershurgh state, that affairs every day assume a mote pacific asped in that Capital,, and •th4t ,Lortl . .G. L.
