Loeu—•Being of opinion that the svrvice on
which His Majesty's forces at the Island of Zealand
are employed renders it highly expedient that all
neutral trade therewith should be for the present
suspended, I have judged it my duty to issue an
order (of which I have the honour to transmit your
Lordship a copy) declaring the said Islands, and
others contiguous thereto, together with the Pas-
sage of the Great Belt. to be in -a state of close
blockade, and diteaing that all neutral vessels per-
sisting to enter into the said Islands and Passage.

such vessels shall not be allowed to pursue their

to order the Defence and Comus to put to sea in
pursuit of the Drnish frigate, which, as I informed
you in my letter of the 14th instant, had quit-
ted Ll.rir•.eur Hoed' io the night between the 12th
and 13th.

Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty a c'py of

him, stating his having come up with and obtained
possession of the said frigate
When the inequality of force between the two
ships is considered, with the trifling injury sustained
by the Comm, it will appear unnecessary for me to
snake any comment on the bravery and skill which
must have been displayed by Captain Heywood, his
officers. and ship's company.

SIR—As the superior sailing of the Crnus, in very
light winds, has given Captain Heywood, his Ofh•
cers, and ship's company, an opportunity to dis-
tinguish themselves particularly by a very gallant
attion with an enemy greatly exceeding their force,
I can therefore only regret the late arrival of the
Defence, for the means that might otherwise have
been afforded me ot preventing the bloodshed
which has resulted from it, though, happily, on the
part of the enemy only. The crew ot the Danish
frigate considerably out-numbering the Crinsuses, I
have thought it my duty to receive one hundreed
of them into this ship. Inclose.! I transmit you

Admiral DRURY was to have sailed, yesterday.
from Portsmouth, in the ls/worautd, to resume his
command in the lndsan Sea, as successor to Sir
Toomas TR•WDR IDOL. His departure was, how.
ever, prevented by an express dispatched from the
Admiralty, on Saturday, requiring his immediate
return to town. The gallant Admiral accordingly
returned to town without delay, and attended the
Admiralty Board, last morning, at ten o'clock.—
Our readers will recant& that Admiral DRURY was
appointed, upon the presumption that the Bknheiat,
commanded by Sir Thomas TROWBRIDGE, was lost
in a storm off Madegascar. The cause which report
has assigned for the recal of Admiral DRURY, is,
that Ministers have received, by the East India fleet.

merely as a report. Admiral Dauar's atteudance
at the Board lasted a consideratile time.

The Official Dispatches received last week from
Admirsl GAM °lilt, were published in The GatuVe
of Saturday night, from which we this day ccpy
teem. They contain a j•wrnal of the operations of
the army from the 14th to the 21st, inclusive. The
main body of the troops landed at Wibec, early on
the morning of the 16th, while Major• General
Sr cmcaa's brigade, with a division of the Beet,
anchored higher up the Sound to make a diversion.
In the evening of the same day, the troops
marched by their left in three columns, the centre
by Hermitage to Jagersburg, and the left by the
coast to Charlotteliberg, and lay upon their arms
that night. On vie 17th, at daybreak, the three
columns continued their march to invest the town.
About noon the piquets of the left were attacked,
and tile enemy's gunboats having rowed out of Ow
harbour, cannonaded the left of the 13ritis4 liue.—
