Inc which they had :riven it in charge to Weil De.
patties to render due homage, at the feet of the Mo-

peror replied in nearly the following word; •• I

the just sentiments which animate them, and the
proofs of sffedion which they have given me."

KIEL, AUGU.T 10•

Mr. Jackson, the same who WAS in Prussia, has
been with the Prince Royal, to &mind that Den-
mark shall make a common cause with England
against France, threatening on the part of his Go.
vet nment, in case of refusal, to land troops in Zea.
land, and take possession of Copenhagen. The
only answer the Prince made Was by setting out
fir Copenhagen to make preparations for defence.
The English have before Copenhag..n 16 ships of
war and 20,000 troops. 'llse Danes, independent
of the militia, have 12,000 men in the island of
Zealand. A rime considerable force is unfortu-
nately in Holstein, and it will be difficult to bring
it into the island, which is already blockad.d. Cer.
tainly there are no examples in the history of the
wwld of a similar aa of atrocity ; for what Cause
of complaint has England against Denmark !

COPENHAGEN, ♦V6. S.

On the 4th inst. at eight in the evening, an Eng-
lish division, consisting of four ships of the line,
five frigates, and eight vehels of war of smaller
force, passed the Great Belt, and contins:d its way
for the Sound. We du .tot, as yet, know whee.:er
this division has entirely quitted that station ; it is
commanded by Admiral &atm.
On the same diy (viz. the 4th) A Infral Gam-
bier, who has his st laical in the R hstl of Elsineur,
detached (-torn his feet for the Rae, a ff ig4tt, a
corvette, three brigs, a bomb-ketch, and two cat•
tens, carrying two largi! anchors, to %Ire in use of a
bomilardineor. Th. 7 w.lr irplaced, in the course
of the day, by a ship of 54 guns and three brigs,
which arrived is the Norm Sea.

On the s:h, a Rassian corvette and a transport
passed through the Sound for the North sea. They
did not .41ute the Eagl A Admiral Li passing.

On the lith, no movement was made ; but on the
Tih, fifty transports, partly carrying cavalry, ar-
rived in the road of Elsiaeur. They were con-
voyed by several ships of war, and had a consi-
derable number of bolts for a debarkation.
It is said that there is a third division,uf seventeen
sail, at anchor in the Bay of kielinstadt.
The division has passed the Great Belt ap-
pears dLci.l.ldly to direa its course towards t!..e
South ; bat it is believed that it has left some vessels
cruising in the Belt.
The ships detached by Admiral Gambier the day
after his arrival in the road of Elsineur, appear to
hive been emended to form a telegraphic line and
line of observation from that point to the Isle of
Fusten, and by that to establish a communication
vith the division of Admiral Keats, through the
Cleat Belt.

On the 101 h, in the morning, there were six
ships of the lint cruising- in the Oman belt, two of
which had arrived that 2.! u .ite 7r, AY:. 21.)

We are assured, that it is the Prince Francis Jo-

COPENHAGEN, Al 15.
On the 12th inst. early in the morning. the King
and Prince Royal left, with their retinue, this Ca-
pital) for Colding, in Jutland. where they are
safely arrived. The Presidents, and some Dl: m.
bers of the Public Boards. followed the K ng. and
crossed the Belt unmolested.

On the 13th, it was known that General Peyman
was entrusted with the defence of this capital, and
that the lue English Envoy in Berlin, Mr. JAC igson,
had been with the Prince Royal, in Kiel. and
merely come to this place, in oil:: to lay, for the
last time, before Count Ilernstrirff, his proposal,
that we should pin England an! Sweden, against
Russia And Fiance.

At seven o'clock at night. it was known that
Jackson had arrived. and the wit morning we
learned that he WAS gone on 'snarl the fi:et. Bosh
parties relmed to make any conc.-3,16n, and as at-
tack was thetefure every moment expe3e.l. As yet,
however. every thing remains quiet, and of this
delay on the part of the enemy we have taken ad-
vantage to increase our means of defence.

This evening. or early to-morrow morning, all
vessels intended for the defence of this capital will
have taken their station. The Militia is arrived,
guns ase mourned on the ramparts. the City Artillery
and Idantry, the corps of Students. and the Lile
Chasseurs, are under arms, and it is now generally
supposed that Copenhagen will be able to dulead it-
self with success.
