P. S. At this moment (7 in the evening) the
wind is North-west, and therefore fair for the
English Fleet ; so that to-morrow 'we may expea
very serious events in the Sound.

ELSINEUR, MARCH 2.4.

On the 22d, in the evening,_ the English Mini-
ster, Mr, DRUMMOND, and the Envoy Plenipoten-
tiary, Mr. VANSITTART, arrived here from Celtn-
hage'n. The English who reside here were required
immediately to leave Denmark with them, but they
refused, and some of them even said they ,would re-
main in Dennmtk whatever might be the event.—
Only the. English Consul, and some other persons
who had particular reasons for it, went on board
the English Frigate lying here, which about noon
sailed for the English Fleet lying above Kullen.
The rest have not only received permission from
the Panish Government to remain here, but are
even pernittO to chose the place where they will
reside, and are promised securiiy, and full protedion
from the laws.,

The day before yesterday, and yesterday, the
English Fleet was very plainly to be seen here.
—On the day before yesterday it was in the
Bay of Torrekon ; but yesterday in the after-
noon, it was on the Danish Coast, near Gillele've,
two (German) Miles from Elsineur. -It is said, the
Admiral has dispatched a fist sailing Ship to Eng-
land, and waits its return befoie lie undertakes any
thing further. The truth of this report, however,
is much doubted.

Yesterday afternoon the Danish Cutte; Brig Gar.
ven, sailed from hencs. for Coposhage".. The in-
habitants have. received orders from the Magistrates
to hold, themselves in readinec,;..ip_short,, we are
prepared to repel any hostile attack with vigr,..w.—
To day we can sce nothing of the Engli.h Fleet.

The day before yesterday it was reported here,
that the great Russian Fleet, of 6i Sail, had arrived
at Bornholm. This, however, we now knew tQ be
without foundation.

It is now said, that not the great Fleet from
Cronstadt, but the smaller Russian Fleet of la
Ships of the Line, and some Frigates, has already
arrived at Copenhagen.
To-day, from noon till four in the afternoon, the
wind has been in the North-west, and, therefore,
very favourable for the English Fleet, if they in.
tend to attempt the passage; but as yet not a Ship
ii.to be seen ; they seem all to have vanished. We
akt boa/ever:folly prepared for them.
Pi 5...,V11e are this moment assured that the Eng-
lish Fleet is at the entrance of the Sound, and will
take advantage of the, favourable North-west wind,
to attempt the passage of it.

ALTONA, NlAJecit26

WE have received intelligence by a Courier,
that the English Fleet is off finholt, steering to-
wards the Belt. The guns have been taken out of
some of the Frigates ; it appears, therefore, that the
passage will be attempted with the smaller Ships of.
War.
