a city that has not given any the least cause to such
a treatment at your hands, it must submit to its
fate ; but honour and duty bid us reject a proposal
habecoming an independent power ; and we are re-

'tidy to lay down our lives.

Aug. 24. Brig. Gen. M.Farlane's division having
been landed the preceding evening. joined the army
sod I..eamped in rear of Head-qoarteis. Lieure-
Genei al the EAZ I of Kosslyn's division marched
.ion to DAinhuis and
d' 'tition settled for
less of providing for ow-

fire of the Crown-Battery, block-rbip, and enme of
the wnrks; having maintained thi► position tor se-
veral hour;, they at length retired, some of them
having be •n more than once on fire by red-hot shot.
"lhe batteries near the mill having aged with rffea
upon the Run-hosts, the latter turned their fire upon
them, but were obliged to retire with clwidtrAble
lots.

24th. At three 10 the morning the army was tin-
der arms; the centre advanced its position to the
height die road which run, in a dir,,%on paral-
lel to the &iknees c.! Copechagen, to Fre,:ericluberg,
occupying that road .ii,d sortie posts heyonJ it. The
Guards at the same time occupied the suburb; be-
tween Frelei icks!reig. and Copenhagen, tlank,d by
a detachment of the 79th. They dislodged a piquet
of the enemy, who, in their retreat, concealed 13
three.pounders, which have since been found.
All the piquiets of the enemy fell hack to the lakes
or inundaii ns in front of the place ; our piqueti
occupying their ground. In the alternuon the gar-
ris m spewed ttutlf on all the avenues leading horn
the town, apparently with a design either to recover
their ground, or to burn the suburbs. The several
Generals immediately drove them in, each in his
own front, and at the same time seized on all the
suburbs on the Nilth Bank of the Lakes, some of
which posts arc within four hundred yards of the
ramparts.
Sir David Baird's division turned and carried a
redoubt which the enemy had been some days con-
structing, and which was that night converted into
a work against him.
The enemy set fire to the end of the suburb near-
est to the place, the upper part of which was occu-
pied by the Guards. and was now defended by
them. In consequence of this general success, the
works which had been intended and begun by us,
were abandoned. and a new line was taken, withiu
about eight hundred yards of the place, and nearer
to it on the flanks.
The mortar batteries in the advanced line
made considerable progress. A heavy fire was kept
up by the garrison on the suburbs and buildings
near the Lake, which were strengthened as much as
circumstances would allow. The nary and artillery
employed in landing ordnance and stores. and for-
warding them to ditferent parts of the line.
Lieutenant-General the Bail of Illossln's corps,
which had a considerable share in occupying the
Suburbs, relieved the reserve, which moved into se-
cond line.

The enemy's gun-boats made their appearance in
the Channel, between Omache and Zealaind, and can-
nonaded the Guards in the suburb. Progreas made
in preparing a battery to protect the right front the
gun-boats. Frequent skirmishes with sharp-shoot-
ers on the right and centre, and several shells thrown
from the lines.

26th. Sir Arthur Wellesley, with the reserve,
eight squadrons of cavalry and the Horse Artillery,
under Major-General Linsengen, the tith battalion
of the line King's German Legion, and the light bri-
gade of Artillery belonging to the reserve, marched
to Fosekild Kra. The gun.boats made an attack
on the left of our position, and were twice driven it
by the Windmill batteries, one boat having blown
op, and several others having suffered considerably.
The Guards severely cannonaded by the gun-boats ;
the enemy likewise attempted a sortie, but was
qu;ekly driven back.
27th. At day-break the battery of four 24-pound-
ers opened on the right, and drove in the gun-
boats, one of which was much damaged. Sir Ar-
thur Wellesley marched in two divisions to attack
the enemy in front and rear at Koenerup, but he had
moved up towards Kioge, upon which Sir Arthur
took a position to cover the besieging army. Gene-
ral Peiman applied for an armistice of 36 hours, to
remove the patients from St. John's Hospital. Four
hours was proposed to him, which offer he did not
accept, and several shots were tired through the said
hospital._

28111. Progreu roads in lauding and bringing for-
ward ordnAnee And stores, as well as in making bat-
teries and eonsmunicatioas.

Myth. Sir Arthur Wellesley marched to Kioge,
where he completely defeated and dispersed the ene-
my, taking upwards of sixty officers and one thou.
sand five hundred men, fourteen pieces of cannon,
and a quantity of powder and other stores. The
patients of St. Jehti's Hospital were removed to the
chapel at Fredereicksberg, and adjacent houses ; the
Danish General thankfully acceding to this removal,
and declaring ibat it was not fired upon by the or-
der, or with his knowledge.
30th. Batteries nearly finished, platforms laid,
and two thirds of the ordnance mounted. New bat-
tery planned and begun. near the Chalk Mill
Wharf.
st. The eaemy attempted a sortie on the right,
before sun-rise, and were stopped by a piquet of the
30th regiment, commanded by Lieut. Light. They
persevered for some time, and were repulsed by the
piquets with loss. Sir David Baird twice slightly
wounded, hut did not qui; the field.
The Danish General Ortholm arrived with his
officers at head-qtrarters, when they were put on
parole, and sent to their respcaive homes.
In the evening 1500 prisoners were distributed
in the fleet.

The batteries in progress, all armed and com-
pleted, except the Chalk-Kiln-battery, which is close
to the enemy.
The gun-boats attacked the in-shore squadron of
light vessel; ; blew up one of them, and obliged
them to retire ; the gun-ooats, as well as the block-
ship, having apparently suffered considerable da-
mage from the batteries at the Wind-mill.

ready for :talon, the place was summoned. The
answer arriving late, accompanied by a desire, on
his part, to take the pleasure of Ili; Danish Majfsty,
the reply could not be sent till the following day :
during all these days the enemy has fired from the
walls and ilitworks, with cannon and musketry
upon the advanced posts, and has tbr..son many
shells on all parts of the line, but has Lad no suc-
cess, except in setting fire to some home., anti cut-
ting some trees on his siwn side of the Lai's.

MT I.96ll3—After I had the honour to state to
gout Lorda:iip, )esterday, the capture of six wag-
gons loaded with powder, and also of a considerable
quantity of arms at Friederickstadt, which I have
sent to M rjor-General Von Linsengen, I learned
that a convoy of 189 waggons, loaded with gunpow-
der, and escorted by upwards of 500 men, was on its
way to Friederickstadt, after having in vain attempted
to enter Copenhagen by way of Roeskilde. I resolved
to attempt to cut it off from Friedrickswerk, and
proceed for that purpose to Krigume. I was in-
formed here that the s..id convoy had passed there
two hour; before, that the escort was very much
fatigued, and had begun to desert. I was told that
Fr iedrickswerk was a very strong position. defends d
by a corps called the Volunteers of that place,
raised by the Crown Prince himself for the protec-
tion of the powder-mills and arsenal there. Al-
though the horses of my detachment, (w:ach was
composed of one hundred light dragoons of the
Ist. Light, including 18 dragoons of the 3d,)
were very fatigued, yet I thought it adviseable to
attempt to take the place by surprise. I approached
Friedrickswerk at one o'clock of the morning.—
Captain Krauckebberg, of the Ist Light Dragoons,
succeeded in surpriziug an advanced piquet of nine
moo. In arriving near the entrance, where we ca-
pealed to rind a battery, we met an Officer, who
informed me that tho. Commanding Officer was
willing to capitulate if I Would grant him honoura-
ble terms. After some conversation with Major
Aid-du-Camp to the Prince, and Go-
vernor of that place, he agreed to surrender with
his corps, (860 sr: ong, includion Officers,) under
the condition that he and his whole corps should
not serve during the war, or until an exchange had
taken place.

I found a great quantity of powder, (about one
thousand six hundred cenreurs) a number of guns
and small arms. As I had no means to carry off
the powder. and even no ti 1122 to destroy it, I was
obliged to be satisfied with the promise of the Ma-
jor and all the Offi a:rs, upon honour, that neither
powder nor stores should be issued to the Danes.
As there was no means of getting waggons, I was
obliged to be satisfied with carrying off the four
guns, and half the arms of the corps which had
surrendered, and which I have delivered to Major-
General Linsengen.
I left Friederickswerk this morning at five o'clock,
and found myself $OOll after attacked almost in all
the villages by peasants armed with forks, delivered
for that purpose by the Danish Government, the
greater part on foots but some on horseback. The
dragoons took about fifty of these peasants and fire
horses without any loss on our side. On receiving
information that all the roads in the woods before
and behind Friedrickswerk were full of peasants,
some of whom were armed with rifles. I changed
my road by marching to the left, where the ground
is open, and I discharged the peasants, after ex-
plaining to them the objet of our being in this
country.
1 cannot conclude this long report without certi-
fying to your Lordship my great satisfaaion with
the eondufl of the officers and men which I have
had the honour to command on this occasion, and
to recrommead to your Lordship's notice, Captain
Krauckenberg, of the Ist Light Dragoons.
I have the honour to be,

Head Quarters. before Copenhogets,
MT LORD, September So 1817.
Having stated to your Lordship in my dispatch of the
22d the preparation of Inrec which was assembling. under
Lieutenant General Castenschiold, and my intention of
detaching a force to disperse them before they should be
in a state to undertake any enterprize I have now the
greatest pleasure in transmitting the report I have received
from Sir Arthur Wellesley, to whom, with the assistance
of Major-General De Linsengen, and Brigadier-General
Stewart, that service was entrusted.
The Major-General marched on the 26th of last month
to Roeskild Kroe, and proceeded on the following day to
attack the position at Horsieruk, which was occupied ac-
cording to the last reports by the Danes; Major- General
Litisengen having made a long detour towards the sea, for
the purpose of cutting off their retreat, and attacking their
rear.

But finding that the enemy had moved off by the right
to Kirze, Sir Arthur Wellesley fell back tnld
liroe, extending to his left to cover the besieging arms,
until the cavalry and infantry, who had made a forced
march, had time to refresh. He then proceeded to attack
and to defeat the enemy in a general actioo. The de-
route appears to have been complete.
Major-General Oxholm was within a mile of this ac-
tion, in his way to join General Castenschiold, with a
corps collected in the Southern Islands, which had got
over. Ile endeavoured to story the fugitives, but could
make no effectual resistance ; tins corps would have endea-
voured to connect itself with some sortie from the place,
and would soon have been troublesome.

Sir Arthur Wellesley has onnsed;;;the evader of the
Island to disarm and quiet the country.
The only corps which appears to have kept together is
the cavalry; but by the I.e.t account! these have 'ueeil
loond by the and will be followed up.
The General and his Officers, who are mostly of their
Militia, have been released on a very strict parole ; the
General being respotoilde for them ; but their oleo, 1500,
to which near 100 have since been added, are d
in his Majesty's line of battle ships; the dread of which
will, perhaps, induce the relnaillilla .11d1114 of this de-
scription to he averse to quitting their Wines.
I trust it will appear that time affair of the 29ih, at
KlOge, is as ta•dial at it is brilliant.

Both di, isioite broke up this morning, and

on both flanks, and apparently a large Ludy henmuld;-..

kit to the sea, having the two squadrons of hussar Opt. 4

it proper to make the attack in an echallini of batta!i:n.,
from the left ; the whole covered by the tst
95th Regiment, anti by the fire of our artillery.
It fell to the lot of the SIVIt regiment to lead this at::
and they performed their part in the nit"t exemplary ilia
nett. and were equally well supported by the rt2d and Sl.'
The Enemy soon retired to an entrenchment tvL .1
they had formed in the front of a camp on the north •
of Kluge, and they made a disposition of their cat....

fanny of Illy carps. Upon crossing the rivulet. we fou:ei
General Liiiscitgeo's carps upon our right flank, and the
whole joined in the pursuit of the enemy.
Ma-or-General Ozitoken, the second in command, who
had joined the army with four battalimis last night crest
the Southern Islands, attenapted to stand in the tillage of
Ilerfulge, but he Wan attacked briskly by the Hussars,
with detachments of which were Captain Blaquiere sad
Captain Cotton of the Staid, and by small detachment of
the tat of the 95th ; and he was compelled to surreudi r
with Count IVedel Jarliburg, several other officers, aid
400 men.

The loss rif the Enemy has been very great, msny
hat in 3 fallen, rind there are nearly Amy officer!,
and one thousand one hundred men prisoners. In
their flight they have thrown away their arms and
clothing, and many stands of the former have fallen into
our hands. I believe that we base taken ten pieces of
cannon ; but I have not yet received all the relent, from
theitletachments employed in the pursuit of the enemy. I
have not seen General Linsengen, as he still is out with his
hussars, but I understand that tile enemy had destroyed
the bridges at Little Salbve, which va the cause of the
delay of his rpetations tmon
