We are happy .to have it ib our power at length to remove the anxiety which has for some days agi:- tated the public wind, in contegnence of the non- arriyal of any accounts from the Expedition. This morning, at half-past six o'clock, a Messenger a- rived at the Admiralty with Dispatches from Admi ral GAMBIER, dated the 16th tilt. which state, that the main body of the British Army, under the command of Lord CATITC;1111":" effected 'a landing about five o'clock on the morning of the t6th, at Wisbeck, about eight miles to the Northward of Copenhagen ; without any opposirron on the part of the Danes, and consequently without any loss on our part, The German Legion, which has been for some time past stationed at Rugen, had &so effeded a disembarkation in the Island of m oan , which is at the entrance of the Sound from --the.Bidtie. The Troops were all in high heahh and spirits, and no doubt was entertained of the favour- able result of the ,attack, which was about, to be made when the Dispatches came away, Previous to the landing of our Troops, an Mtion had taken place between the .Comus.griiate, Capt. HEYWOOD, and a amid' Frigate, of 32 guns, which toted about 20 minutes, when the latter struck, having .34 men killed and WOundede The Cams had not. ii man hurt' Wishak where our Troops disem . barked, i% the plaae , wheretnAßLEs the XII. landed in the early part of the last century, and commenced his military career by an attack upon Copenbagen. The following Letter was sent this morning from Lord MULGRAVE tO tilt: LORD MAYOR (COPY.) Admira.V.Pffict, sepl. 2, HAY pan six, 44 Ldril MULGRAVt has the honour to acquaint the Loan MAYOR that Dispatches have this morning been received p.m 'Unit' J C 7; Astit is, with accounts that the Troops under the cnininand of Lieutenant-General Lord CATIICA.RI: tralTSiit l AithinrlVOYl 3 eNi fen t kfk l iM On the ,6th August." Since writing the above, we ba.ve beeti favoured WiOtP4,e following Bulletin : " DOWNING-STREET, SEPT. 2. " Di Tatehc% have been received from Lieut. Ge- neial Lord 'CATHCART, and yice Admiral GAbilljEß, try vvllit.i) ix appears that Lord CATLICAAT joined the Achriitai oil the i 2th ttlt.) that on the I 3th Mr.TAyLon, Majesty'o Minister:a Copennagen, having left that Cly upon tl - ,e Government having 4eclinec4 to enter intn an amicable arrangement, it was termined to land the'Artny early on the morningof the 'tit!) bat owing t() contrary win4s the Ship of War and r.l%!aniports could not b 3 brought 'up to the place ot. disembarkation till the evening , of the s lsth. Early, however, on the niorning of the .IGth the Army was disvmharked at the Villlge . of Wis- beck, atbon ten inlies north of Copenhagen, with- out any opposition. Lord lionvm, with th Army from Siralittod, had arrived on the 14th off Moen island. 0' Upon t be disembarkat ion of the Troops, a Procl;- Illation was issued by the Commanders- of His Ma- jesty'i. Land and Sea Forces, declaring' the circuna- stances under which they had felt themselves corn- pelted to proceed to 'the disembarkation of the Ar- my." By Private Letters of the I,7th, it appears that Copenhagen was then completely invested. A Divi- sion of tho Troops from Stralsund had anchored in Kioge 134 on the preceding day ; they were fired r , without of from the Danish Batteties. In addition to the abuve of f icial statement , we are happy to adti, 'upon private sources of inforrina- tion, on which we place the utmost reliance ) that there is strong. reason to believe that the Panes are not disposc.cl to make a very obstinate resistance. Last night two_Mails from Gonenburglt arrived. ,Apart of tilt: intelligence which they contain is de p. iited pf the interest which it would otherwise pos.,. Bess, by the arrifsl of the orffcial accounts which 1 we have just g,heti. Letters from Helsenburgh,. l dated the 18th ult. after mentioning the landing of tbe British at Wisbeck, on the 16th, state, that on the next day (Monday the 17th), a heavy firing was heard in the direaion of Copenhagen, and a Courier report ed that Copenhagen had surrendered. This account, however, is contradiaed by letters from Gottenburgh, which state, that a\ Courier he arrived there on the 21st from Malmo, who brought intelligence that the English Fleet was Bombarding Copenhagen on the t 9th.—The latter account, we are inclined* to believe, is the correa one. TaiE Danish Packet Foedr . es Mende, from Bengal, is arrived in the Downs : she parted from the home ward-bound Fleet, consisting of thirteen Sail of East Indiamen, two Whalers, and the Brig Fly, about a month since, in lat. 18. N. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, Princesses AU GUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, took an airing on horseback in Windsor Park, accompanied by Earls PAULET and MACCLESFIELD, Lord WALsitsmmAza, &c. Her MAJESTY, and Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY rode to Frogmore. _ A Russian 011ieLir arrived at the Admiralty yester day, to solicit permission to send the body of the Princess G.►LirztN to Lqntlon to be embalmed. The request was immediately complied with. Yesterday evening Mr. BASSET, the Me:, -, ongtir, was sent off from Lord CASILLREAGH'S (hike to Portsmouth. We are extremely concerned to state, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE met, on Satur day morning, a disagreeable accident, while inspeta ing Colonel 'BOLTON'S Brigade of Light Cavalry on Hounslow Neal!). The horse of an Officer in his suite lashed out, and struck him a violent blow on the foot, His Royal Highness made very slight of it, but was prevailed upon to proceed to the adjacent barracks, attended by Dr. ROCHE ' of the 13th Light Dragbons, who • applied suitable remedies to the contusion, which Was considerable. We sincerely trust the accident will prove. of trifling consequence. On Monday night ;he remains of the Duchess of GLOUCESTER was interred privately in the family vault, at Wind Sot, granted by His MAJESTY. The corpse arrived at St. George's Chapel aboUt nine o'clock, in a hearse drawn by eight horses ; it was received by all the Clergy belonging to the Chapel, and the Gentlemen or the Choir, who sour; the fu neral service. The Duk&of GLOUCESTER was the chief mourner ; His Highness was followed by se veral of the Duchess' . s relatives and particular f r i en d s . The Royal carriages in the Funeral Processien of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTBR, were , • , - First, the late Duchess's coach end six, the Duke of Glatt, eester's coach and six, Princess Sophia' s coach and six, and the Duke of Cumberlancl's coach and six. Letters were yesterday received from the coast of France, which'state, that on the tifith ult. an order bad been issued for laying an iminediate embargo on all Portuguese vessels in the ports of France, which order bad already been veiy . generallx carric.l into en ea. ix- tms statement COI - ref; U measure de scribed was probably resorted to by DONAPARTii for the purpose of inducing the prompt compliance of the Portuguese Government with the demand lately made upon them, to .exclude all British commerce from the ports of Portugal. Private letters from Ifamburgh gon firm our for mer accounts relative to the general enforcement of the order of tbe Danish GoFertiment for the seizure of all British property, and the arrest of all British. subje&s; with this important addition, that it was at length 'accurattly ascertained, that immediately after the ratification of the Treaty 'of Tilsit, the Coart of Denmark consented to make common cause with Russia and France against the commercial interests of Great Muni. The East India Convoy, for the safety of which Much apprehension has; ht. , co entertai(wd, havealct yet entered the Ch.innel nor shookl it be thought extraordinary if they du not . arrive this fortnigiit. The Officers Of the Conco r d e sa y, th e Convoy would be at least a month behind them in reaching b land. It . was lately statel that a small French Squalron, consisting of a Line-m -battle Ship and two light. Ves sels, were at sea, and that Admirsl . GAttorgett had de- I two or three of the Clime' Fleet in search of it.

One Brig only, which ran down to them, was detained. Ott Sunday, at sunset, the Line-of-battle pasiedcom pletely within hail of the Manking, bat did'not ;peak.
