LONDON,
ZDNIISDAY, SEPTILNIZER IG.

A G.itrenborgh m til arriv.-d list nigh:, with let-
ters and papers from that city to the 7th instant.
They contain accounts from Els;ne :7 and Melting.
burg of the ith inst. which state that a heavy firing
from Copenhagen was heard at those places on
the 29;h, which was continued on tl.e 30th, and
that, according to report, it was impossible for it to
hold out much longer. It was reported at Gotten-
burgh on the fit;,, that Copenhagen had been aCtu-
ally taken, but the rumour was not credited. An
anion is said to have taken place between a
division of the English Army ■nd the armed
peasantry of Zealand, in which the latter had
(00 killed, and 1,100 taken prisoners. Oar
readers will math with what excessive humanity
the French complained, that the Swedes, After
their evacuation of Stralsund, had fired upon the
city, and killed an old woman. It now appears,
that the French, on entering Stralsund, attacked the
little Isle of Danholm, flattering themselves
that the Swedes, from tenderness to the people
of Stralsund, would not return the fire. Two rafts
were fitted out for the purpose, but they were taken,
and the troops on board them effeded their escape
by swimming. Subsequent account', however,
state, that the island has been since taken by the
French, with its garrison, consisting of six bun•
dyed Swedes.

We have received Dutch Papers to the r.i.h inst.
containing Paris news to the Ist, but the latter is of
no interest. An account of the •i&sry obtained by
the Russian Fleet over the Turks, is given in The Ye.
tuna Court acette. The adion took place on the
lst of July, near the Isle of I.emnos. The Russians
had 2i sail, to of them of the line; the Turks 18
sail, of which 12 were of the line. The defeat of the
Turks was decisive ; of their 12 sail of the line, four
were taken, three burned. and two drivul on thous.
The principal feature in the Dutch Papers is the
Decree of the Dutch Government against the
commerce of this country, or, in its own words,
" for the purpose of obtaining a general peace,
and the independence of the seas." Of the ex-
istence of this decree, the public are already
apprised. It ordains that even English Newspa.
pets shall not be admitted into the Dutch kingdom.
The throne of King Lours cannot be secure unleu
the Dutch are kept in profound ignorance and dark-
ness.

Some of the Papers announce, " that accounts
have been received, not by Government,but by a mer-
chant's house in the City, which state that no bom-
bardrni nt of Copenhagen had taken place on the 3d
instant, but that some kind of negotiation had been
established since the departure of the E,rert brig, on
the 2,-th ult. ; that on the 3d inst. a flag of truce
was sent into Copenhagen, the result of which was
nut known when the at came away" Them
