BALTIC EXPEDITION.

Eztraft of a letter from the Commander of His
MAjesty's gun-brig Pincher, to it hind in gdifrurgb:
" Pincher, al Colierrhaei.n, Aar. 17.
" Our troops began to land yrsteiday morning at four
&clink, at blfilwair, about ten codes from Copenhagen, and be •
fere IVO leelOCU we lied fourteen thousand landed. and on
their march towards that capital, willioUt the leon.epposit .11/
thee, mere shin landed that evening several troops of artillery
and a regiment of drag ants. who began tneir march re-
wards the mein body of the array befire sun-set. The chief •
of etc employment has been this day in leading the heavy
tillery and three regiment' of horse. The Daricir brie just
set fire to a large dap, supposed to be one of sue trinspnis,
and rook another bog with 'belt row-boat', it a perfect
calm; but l mud leave off here, as there Is a breeze sprung
up, and toy %%nut out to weigh sue /maul attar the enemy."

" August le.
" The frrst aigion commenced la :t night with a number of
the enemy's gun-boars, chse in short•, assisting their troops
in anon:telt on the lett wing of our army,-aad they were soon
turned int,. their harbour. 1 hove had one stud through the
head of my rudder, which has entirely disabled it, and at is
new repairing on board His Majesty's ship Ceniaur; no other
shot struck te, a•rd 1 believe none on board any of the rest of
the vessels ;but l iiiider,tand there Na Lieutenant of anti lery
killed on shire, and several wounded.

• The Crioun Prince is said to have riven orders, that
shnulia the fleet be I kely to tell int* our hands, the whole may
be set fire to; and even the naval arsenals are to shue the
►atne Lite.

" It is also said, that the whole of the shipping lately built
by the Danes was at the e►pense of Fiances and intended for
her use.

" The on'y person wounded on trnrd the Conies is the
pilot. The Certain of the °await fnette 'art, he had not fare
play, for the Como fire., two shies for his one hope the
whole of Vista will be of the same opinion.

I saw a great many of the enemy's horse running up and
down the fields after the firing COAWII. Without their riders,
and they must have suffered greatly, awl I am of opinion that
they wilt not stall it long; however, there will be plenty of
work for me every day now till it is given up. As 1 tonna the
cutter was nut to sail last evening, I therefore did not close my
letter; I have now to inform you that another action has taken
place this morning, August thel9th, but carman inform you of
the result, as there is no Love vet from onr army."
The partridges, notwithstanding the lateness of the
season, continue their incubations, as appears from
a nest with 19 eggs, nearly ready for hatching,
found by Mr. lioLtsas, of Beady, near Lewes, on
Friday last.
A mushroom, which measured 25 inches in cir-
cumference, and in high pest-et:Son, was, this week,
pulled at High Wool Oakes, near Calthwaite, near
Carlisle. Several others, nearly as large, were, at
same time, gathered.
On Thursday a fatal accident happened at Can-
terbury. in consequemn of three people descending
a well which had been long closed. two of whom
were suffocsted by the foul air. and the third. who
went to search for the others, narrowly escaped the
same fate. by being drawn up before he got too far
down the well.
