It was very currently reported, however, before they sailed, Altai Copenhagen and the Danish N;tvy kid stirren• dered.

The. Extract is as fol , lows f‘ . We stop the Press to state, that Mr. paou Dm AN, and two other Mesiienpr , i, arried this morning at the Foreign thfico from 41tona, 'They: were de tAined so long at Heligoland that, they do not bring iviy intelligence of a very , late date, but it was it , bo. lidetrtly reported, andgeneraily believed, before they . 4111 t, away, that C.9p6ulfageti, with the whole of the Danish Marine, : had surrendered to us.

CASTLEREA'Ciff, end Sir J.PuLT N:L:'.l arc censured as the plannersef this Expedition, is not very dialinaly stated, but it appears io be this, that the force sent upon the'Etpeclition is not cquit to the force which Penrnark is able to-bring against Jr., 'Li orilar . to prove this proposi tion, a statement is given of the Danish Army and N.:vY. With respedt to the latter', though the accwant is evidently e::l2geratecl, it is not neec, , ,:iry to offer I:1)y observation, because it is upon the great superiority .of the Daiiish Land Forces tharthe probability of our failtire,,is ctitctalated. The Laud Forces of Dernnatk are stated to amount fo 03,000 men, of thfise 38,000 are Infantry of the Line, .9000 Cavalry, 30,000 Militia, area 16,000 , Feueiblei, tit this force 35;000 is stated to be in Norway, and 48,000 in 13enthark and klolitein, Tt is then' asserted, tritimphanily, • that -" it is impos taible to expert an easy conquest against, such a forec;',' ind it is asked " in what manner can we take pot- Session a the Danish Fleet against a 'Land Force . , so infinitely superior ?" The . answer, if such argu- rnents;deserve a) answer, is, that our Expiclitioo fiat dire&ed against Norway, .ag a rust c;iiitinetital part of Domlnk, hat st the o! thitt the furce einploy:.d in oil,. Expedition i so super or to the military force in Zealand, that all resistance must be ultimately fruit less ; and. that our Fleet haying completely -sur rounded that Island, no reinforcements can - reach it -; and therefore, that part of the Infantry,* Cavalry., Militia, and Fencibles, pf this formidable army. of 83,000 men, which did not•happen to be in Zealand at the time our Expedition - arr4ved - there; will not be able to offer any very.serions impediment to our tak ing possession of the Island and the Danish Navy. oukßeaders will find in our.sutscquent columns the Proposition submitted to the House; ofComMons by.Mr.WINDII4:II and Lord CASTREAGIT: . _ Yesterday the Festival of ST.

'l'he North Hampshire ind Nottingham are not behind any other' Regiment in spirit and military ardour,, their quota having nearly coma' forward at Once ; the 76th and 77th Regiments seem to 'be the favourite corps. The Aberdeenshire Militia are mostly gone into the 92d. . The Ayrshire . arc allowed ,go to the 21st, 6r, Scots livnzileers, the 79th and 91st; but almost all of theta go to the latter. • The Argyleshire, 11,43-o:ire, and Inverhess7shire, are candidates for the 42d. On Sunday, the Plintshire Regiment of Militia, in barracks at Ohathani, volunteered 26 , men more than their complement, for the 96th Regimenv. The East Surf() have 'volunteered 150 men for the Nth Regiment. The Militia Officers deserve the highest credit. Though it must be painful to theth to lose so Many fine fellows, whom they have broughtto the highest state of military discipline, yet in every quarter they have lent their aid to the General Officers, in advi s .
