LONDON,
FRIDAY. SIPTUISIII 18.

Report states, that oar Expedition now in and
before Copenhagen has ultetior objeas within the
Baltic.—The advanced season of the year, however,
is unfavourable to military operations in that quar-
tet..

The Hon. Capt. CN MLLES PAGET, of the Cow-
kid's frigate, arrived last morning at the Admiralty,
with dispatches honk Admiral GAUSIBIt. They
bring accounts of the proceedings at Copenhagen
down to the 1 1 th, at which time our seamen were
busily employed in equipping and getting the Da.
nish fleet ready for sea. From the extraordinary
exertions made for this pui pose, it was collated
that this objet wculd be accomplished in the course
of ton days. General Por MAN, the Danish Com•
mander Copenhagen. evinced the most deter-
mined and persevering courage. He did not send
out a flag of truce until a breach was made, and
himself wounded severely. Copenhagen, which
was considered one of the ben built cities in the
north of Europe. has suffered severely. More than
one half of it is a heap of ruins, and there is no part
of it that has not sustained some injury. Among
its public edifices and ornamental strueihnes de-
suoyed, is the largest church. which is entirely

consumed. It was sst in Era WAD* sight, and
Is lofty cutlet, surmounted with a tett spire,
when wrapped in flames, was one of the Mos:
awfully tremend-us spetlacles ever presented ter
the eye. We observed, yesterday; that though
we have taken unconditional possession of the
Danish Na►y, its fate, with that of the Danish
merchantmen detained in our ports, will probably
depend upon future circumstances. As pledges in
our hands, it is to be hop.,ci they may deter Boma-
, AlTh from forcing Denmark to ad hostilely
against us, as shit cannot now afford him any essen-
tial service, And her co-operation, however feeblr,
could have no effen but that of lessening her :lair's,
upon this country.

The Supplementary Gazette, promised in the Et..
Irnordinary On:rzte of Wednesday, was published
yesterday. We have given it at full length. It de-
