"The bombardment commeheed on Wedneoay the 2d September, at sun -set, froin four mortar hat- . teries, consisting altogether of 30 large mortars ; zit the same time a battery of fire rockets was-opened on sate right, and that ,part Of the town againSt i which they were direded was inunediately on fire in several places. • " The bombardmeni continued for three nights, commencing' about eight o'clock, P. M. and conti nuing without interruption for 16 . hours, that is, till noon the next day, when- it 'regularly ceased till eight in the evening. On the . third' night the town appeared to be in one universal blaze on the right; and about midnight the great steeple was observed to be on fire, which is said, by the Danes, to have ben done by one of the fire rockets. At four in the morning, it fell with a most tremendous crash : at noon the firing 'ceased, as usual, but the flames spread in all directions throughout that day (the 4th) and the following day (the sth) ; nor was it till the after noon of the toth that they were at all abated. "'Six hundred houses are burnt to the ground, with the University and the Cathedral, and only 400 houses have escaped without some damage.— Two thousand persons are said to have perished in the bombardmenr; another night must have de stroyed the whole town,; nor is there on record an instance 'of so much damage having been done in SO short a time, which may be attributed to the ads ditional implements of combustion used on this oc casion. On the sth, a short time before the bombard meat waa about to re-commence, a Flag of Truce came out ; of course the firing was suspended; nor ikas it afterwards renewed, although it was not ge nerally known, till the morning of the 7th, that a capitulation was concluded. " On the 7th, in the evening, the flank compa nies took possession of the citadel, and a detachment from the fleet landed in the arsenal. The citadel is extremely strong, having a double ditch, and a great quantity of cannon mounted; it looks direly into the Crown Battery, which remains in posses sion of the Danes, as do, all the gates into the town, which the English are not allowed to enter. • " The arsenal contains an immense qUantity - of naval stores and timber,' particularly fine knee tim ber, so much wanted in England. " Greit progress is already made in equipping the captured ships. The lower rigging - is already (Ter head, and it is believed they will.be all out of the harbour in a fortnight. Two thousand troops and five thousand seamen are working in the dock-yard ; and it is surprising what he 1 ies are found in the work, from the regularity in the disposition of the "stores; every ship has its warehouse, and every part of the riggirg is ticketed. • " The loss of the British on shore does not exceed 150 killed and wounded, and no more than ao afloat. The Danish Garrison is said to have lost ado Men, besides two Gun-b Oats, which were blown up, with 50 or tio men• in each. The greatest loss we sus tained afloat was in an armed Ship, called the Charles of Zirkaldy, which was blown up by a shell, alud about 20 persons killed and wounded It is indeed inconceiveable how small Ourioss is, when the state of the ground about the batteries is examined ; the quantity of shell holes and shot grazes exceeds . be lief. The Danish troops are deserting to us in great numbers, being mostly Germans." EXTRACT Or ANOTHER LETTER. " His Majesty's Ship Resolution. Copenhagen Ruads, Sept. 13, 1807. "The harbour of Copenhagen to-day presents a very different scene from that which it did tint' . days ago. Several of the Ships were reported last night fit for sea. I was on shore yesterday, for the first time, and every report I had heard respeaing the arsenal tell short of my ex peaat ion I have no doubt of its being the first in the world. Every Ship lies opposite to tier store house, 'and every article necessary for her equipment . is close at hand. The stores are immense, some say to the amount of two millions, which I cannot doubt. The light Transports are loading with copper and can vas, the timber is shipping, aod the Ships on the Stocks are taking to pieces, to,bt carried away. The Fleet is in most excellent condition, and : consists of-very fine. Ships. They bad scuttled.them alt, ready for sinking should they deem it expedient. Not even a Gan.... boat is to be left them. • The weather to-day is something better; the last three days have been piercing cold. The Crown Battery has yet ,its co 7 lours flying, as well as the Southern Blocks. An Agent for Transports. informs me, that sixty Vessels r i are ordered into the ,Harbour to load ; I trust a good account will be taken of their cargoes. There is no I. intercourse with the town yet, and I doubt much I whether I shall be able to get a sight of it." By the Lisbon Mail, we received the. Madrid . Gazette to the 25th. The zeal of the native popu lation of Snuth,A.tnerica to assist the Spanish force in resisting our troops is very ostentatiously blazoned forth. It is stated, that ten Caciques, who are In dian Chieti, waited upon the. Government of Buenos Ayres, offering to bring forward 20,000 men, will; 100,000 horses,` to; as they termed it, " fight against the rest coats." The reception they met with is very minutely detailed, • including of - course an assurance of gratitude from the Government, accompanied by an expression of, confidence that their aid was un necessary, as such disposition was made, which the result unfortunately proves, as would be quite suf ficient to repel and overthrow the enemy. It is added, that five other Caciques had afterwards wait ed upon the Spanish Commander with the offer of 10,000 auxiliaries, and met a similar receptiou. Whether these statements were introduced into the Madrid ; Gazette with a view to induce an idea of the popularity of the Spanish Government in South America, ..an4 thus to damp any expeOatiOns of success in that quarter, we shall not attempt to inquire. Indeed the event which has since occurred at Buenos Ayres renddrs that in q ui r y qu i te unneces Cary. It wa unknown in Spain or Portugal that . our teobp4 bad tailed at Buenos Ayres. The ,Itfadrid dsizette contains also a letter, ex traLactl. liont a Paper published - at B - aeuos Avres,. under the title of The Pabliriste. , This letter is fall of censure of the coadntlit of General Bisitatroab.

In the first place, it is agreed that the war will be on the Ocean, almost entirely e atod. on' the ocean, let it be seriously eneeired; bow little we ran gain, and_ how% much We mast lose. Great Britain will not hazard her produce and manufadures to the capture of our Privateers, She .will convoy together perhaps an hundred Sail of . Merchantmen - , by ten Frigates, or eren five. .Lan we capture them No.—We are to trade to the West Indies, to neu tral ports, and the. ports of her enemies, says one Paper ; but how are they to be convoyed ? Will our inerelianta pay our Privateers for convoy ? If they should, it ought to be remembered; that indi viduate in England will fit out Privateers too teach 113, and will be backed by almost one thousand arm-. ed vessels of the Goveruthent, Our Underwriters wutihl not demoted a premium of less than fifty per cent. to insare to France, Sitain, the Baltic; 'or the Meditcrratican. And What 'would they demand to insure teethe less to the West Indies; . after theaCtive engagement in war on: both sides.,, What prizes ere we to take on the Ocean ? One Privateer may take another bat taw American pri vateers will teke a single English 'Merchantman. ,far from the conntry being enriched by privateering —so far from our Laying " seven hundred respeela ble Ptivateers," as the Government Paper declares, our owners of vessels would riot tit out too. They would want a prosped of success ; they Would rather,: from economy, permit their vessels gradually to rot in their docks. Men en gage not in privateering, seamen enlist not in privateering, without an expec ieeon, a s trong probability, of a balance of, chalice in their favour. 'But the Intelligencer is told to say, that we are to receive an 'income eqoal to our revenue from " seven hundred reepedable Privateers," What ideot be heves' it Yet, if it were so, it is nceiticome to the Government. How' is our civil list to he paid ? How our national debt increased.—Aye, but the democra tic bawling for necessity of lowering and banish . - ing the national debt entirely cease-, •when wecan hire Money to ruin ourselves, to ruin the British, and to aegrandize France. We can " hire money ; ' wehave now a " national established credit,"' and 'can hire money. We can afford to lose a revenue of a dozen Millions.of dollars-, and •run in debt yearly for millions. Weence could not do so. For l'rench or Spanish insults, or spoliationS; or aggressions on our rights, our honour, or our tel. i tory , tee fling could be done ; not even provision made for . aefoo men.— The case is widely ditietcut. We see it is. Eng land is the insulter now. The Spaniards, backed by the French, and because backed by the French, mly shut the Port of 'New Or leans ; may keep • us e with an armed forCe, from territory perchased ; may carry oil our Citizens; may exad and receive duties at the Mobile, When our Government years aince by law eStabliSlied a enstom house to receive duties ourselves ; May seize the military stores of the United 'States ; may kick our •Plenipos down the back stair; of her Ministers . ; in short, may do what she pleases ; and our Executive, with'mule-like patience, takei the whips and kicks, talks big in his messages, and tells his private under-. strapperSto talk little in the House of representatives; and all this because Spain is France, and Featice, BONAPARTE, and Btheeretere is , at the head of au " enlightened Government !" ' We have no idea of succumbing to the insults 'or injuries' ofeither nation ; nor do any hut. children and blockheiela declare -so ; nor any but children and blockheads, believe, that those are "-tories," partial to Britain, because they wish to avoid war, . if consistent with national honour and our right '.— 'Yet the whole answer, and the *hole argument of certain democrats is, tories, tones, tories. With far more truth could we say, Frenchmen, French men,' Frenchmen.. The National intelligencer man says, we are to make our fortunes by privateering, saonld a war take place with Great 'Britain ; Is at its protits are to equal the present revenue of the country from fo reign imports; and that this immense aunt, instead of going into the national Treasury, is to flow into every matt's poCket. This is a charming pidure of, the solid resources. of a ,great country ; 'and would be looked on with some scomplaceney, could the agriculturist, whose surplus produkc.tions would thereby be denied a market; could the mechanic acid artiticer, whose labour would cease, for want of employinent ; could the Merchant, • whose com mercial specolationt would entirely be suspended, 'Uelessexercised at a risk that would forbid even the .hope of profit, be prevailed on to think as he thinkse sal ad as he advises. • The additional force ordered out by the Executive. of this Coinmepwealth, is, we understood,. intended for the purpose of preserving order, in case, cif rjote . proceedings and disorders, and to assist the Magistracy should such diSturbances occur. It is often the case tht ads the most illegal and •unjusti fiable are committed partly through violeoce, partly through ignorance, but mostly from the instigation of particular seditious tempers and the writings of Such scribblers as are constantly endeavouring to disturb the peace at' the town, through the Chronicle. This measure of the Commander in Chief is pre dent, and highly praise -worthy. This intellipecer says, we have' " the highest authority the case admits of," the President's Pro-i clamatien, to prove they were American citizens. With 'shame and with sorrow we say, we have an Executive in whom we wish we could place more reliance. We know not hut that they are Ameri cans; but BIUMIttSY says no in his Proclatnation. Why will not the Intelligencer obtain from Govern ment the documents that induced the President to believe them Americans ? They would give great satisfaCtion.' The inielligencr, endeavonrs to prove olteright to protect, by our Flag, in all places; Britieli seamen, whether guilty of desertion, mutiny, murder, or any other crime; and tills right is to be the ClltAiu of war. We are, however, uonfident that the. Ameri can people will not agree to it and a large mak,- fity of Congress will express their disagreetneut. tiORSE ALATCIIES Ad J!NST 11.1121 The frequency of tbese . cruelties makes it ti6tetSarr 'to reprobate them, - at least if tidniore efreaual Mode of prestrition can be pursued: One instance of ex. treordinary exertion by. some extraordinary animal produces a dozen other attempts, and as many nobly. horses area course forced along through the uttlavt distance in whieh their strength canSuppv - them. It is not generally;knoWn what dreadful t Tture is pro- , duced by compelling a horSe to run beyond . the fitir limits of his powers. After a certain time, the fluid, wlich moistens the kidneys, and prevents them from grating against each other, is exhausted ; after that, every step is made with extreme local pain, besideS the general distress of weakness. It iS tipt.tnany years since, to our knowledge, one tit' the stillest, fleetest, and most beaUtiftil ponies in . the World, which had been accustomed to cat from the haod'of its brutal owner, was forced.'along the Ruh road, upon a. match of this'sort, till it laid down, and died, utter ing cries not unlike those of a human being in ex. cessive pain. ' Perhaps it may not be useless to men tion, what is absolutely Prue, that this same own( r, then in considerable I.,rosperity, fell rapidly 'through one stage of poverty to attOthilr, and toed himself its such . distresS that he was supposed : to have been nearly famished. Such matches would seldom be made, if those who bet against the performances would consider upon what terms they are to win their money. They may be sure the match will.not be given up till the extreme dkfress of the' horse 'ends it. They may be sure, their winnitigs e Lie produce of crue.ty ; and,. though this is not direetly ‘ll.fli4led by them selx es, they are answerable for it, because, without betting, there would be. no Match. We are per suaded 111311,V 'persons would refuse to lay such bets, even though sure of-winning, if they considered the twitter in its true light. As for the owners of. tie horses so misused, who now take some pride in .sheaving What their cruelty can bring from the forced powers of tile. generous anitnals tgey possess, they too might be restraioed, , if their pertbrinances were nevi pluentionLd without an expression of the di - gust they ought to excite.

This Match was for fifty guineas. The navigator had scarcely set-to, when he acted furl.' ously on' the offensive, by running in at his oppo nent .with'all.his might: both his hits, right and left, were stopped, and he received such a facer, as broke his nosc, and by a left-handed hit at' the snuae moment in the stomach, he fell motionless, having receive.!tunre injury in the 6rit round, than perhaps the oldest amateur ever witnessed. His frame and stature, hOwever, were as well calculated to receive, as the power of his adversary could give. The battle continued half an hour, without the na.- , vig - ator being able to put in one blow, he,having re. ceived a certain quantum in every round.
