LONDON, APRIL t 6, Igor.

,THE intelligence which we had yesterday the
happiness to communicate to our Readers, of the
arrival of Captain Orwrsx at the. Admiralty, with
Dispatches from Admiral Sir Hype FAA KE R, was
last night pUblished in the following
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.

Admiralty-OA?, Apra 15, lgar.

Captain Otway, of His Majesty's Ship the Lon-
don, arrived in Town this morning with Dispatches
from Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, Commander in
Chief of a Squadron of His Majesty's Ships employ-
ed on a particular service, ' to Evan Nepean, Esq.
dated on board the London, in Copenhagen Roads,
the 6th inst. of which the following are Copies :

SIR,

You will be pleased to acquaint the Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty, that since my Letter
of the 23d of March, no opportunity of wind offer.
ed for going up the Sound until the 25th, when
the wind shifted in a most violent squall from the
S. W. to the N. W. and North, and blew with
such violence, and with, so great a Sea as to render
it impossible for any Ship to have weighed her
anchor. The wind and sea were even so violent
as to oblige many Ships to let go a second anchor to
prevent them from driving, notwithstanding they
were riding with two cables an end; and by, the
morning. the wind veered again to the Southward
of the West.

On the 3oth of last month the wind having come
to the Northward, we passed into the Sound with
the Fleet, but not before I had assured myself of
the hostile intentions of the Danes to oppose our
passage, as the Papers marked No. 1,2, 3, and 4,
will prove ; after this intercourse there could be no
doubt remaining of their determination to resist.
After anchoring about five or six miles from the
Island of liuin, I reconnoitred with Vim-Admiral
Lord Nelson, and Rear. Admiral Graves, the for.
midable line of Ships, Radeaus, Pontoons, Galleys,
.Fire.ships, and Gun-boats, flanked iiirqpported
by extensive Batteries on the two Islartestilled the
Crowns ; the largest of which was rtioutst*ti- with
from fifty to seventy pieces of cannori3O,ffise were
again commanded by two Ships of seventy guns, and
a large Frigate in the Inner Road of Copenhagen,
and two sixty-four-gun Ships '(Without masts) were
moored on the Flat, on the seaboard side of the
entrance into the Amnia.,

. y -;

The day after the wind being Sotithetty; we
again examined their position's and carne to the reso-
lution of attacking them frOiti the Southward;
Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson, having offered his
services for conducing the Attack;had, some days
before we entered the Sound,• shifted his Flag to
the Elephant; add after having examined and
buoyed the outer Channel of the middle ground, his
Lordship proceeded with the twelve Ships of the
Line named in 'the margin% :all the Frigates, Bomb,
Fire-ships; and all the'imall Vessels, and that even-
ing anchored off Draco Point, to make his disposi-
don. for the Attack, 'and wait for the wind to the
Southward.

It was agreed between us, that the remaining
Ships with me should, weigh at the same moment
his Lordship,did,and menace the Crown Batterio,
and the four Ships of the Line that lay at the *en-
trance of the Arsenal; as also to cover our disabled
Ships as they came out of Anion.
I have now the Honour to enclose a Copy of
Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson's Report to me of the
Anion on the ad inst. His Lordship has stated so
fully the whole of his proceedings on that day, as
only to leave me the opportunity to testify my en-
tire adquiescence and testimony of the bravery and
intrepidity with which the Anion was supported
throughout the Line.
VV as it possible for me to add any- thing to the
well-earned renown of Lord Nelson, it would be by
asserting, that his exertions, great as they have
heretofore been, never were carried to a 'higher
pitch of zeal for his Country's Service.
I have only to lament that the sort of attack,
confined Within an intricate and narrow Passage,
Excluded the Ships particularlf under My Command;
from the opportuuity• 'of exhibiting their valour;
but I can; with great truth, assert, that the same
spirit and zeatAiilditcd the whole of the Fleet ;
and I trust` that. the contest in Which we are cm:
gaged, will, On ,some •future day, afford them an
occasion of shewing that the whole were inspired
with the same spirit, had the field been sufficiently
extensive. to have brought it into anion.

It is with the-deepest concern I mention the loss
of Captains Mosse and Riou, two very brave and
gallant Officers, and whose loss, as 1 am well in-
formed, will be sensibly felt by the families they
have left behind them ; the former 'a Wife and
Children, the latter, an aged Mother.
From the known gallantry of Sir Thomas Thomp-
son, on former occasions, the Naval Service will
have to regret the loss of the future exertions of
that brave Officer, whose 'kg wac shot off.

Vpr 111 other particulars I beg leave to refer their
Lordships to Captain Otway, who was with Lord
Nelson in the latter part of theMtion, and able to
answer any questions that may be thought necessary
to put to,him. A Return of the Killed and Wounded
you will receive herewith.
I have. the Honour to be, &c.
H. PARKER.

S. The Promotions and Appointments that"
have taken place on this occasion will be sent by
the next opportunity that offers; but I cannot,
close this without acquainting their Lordships, that
Captain Mosse being.killeci very early in theAdion,
Lieutenant John Yeiland continued it wit!, the
greatest spirit and good condu& ; I. must, there-
fore, in justice to his merit, beg leave to teem-
mend him to their Lordships' favour.

Front the hostile Transaflion of the Court of
Denmark, sending away His Britannic Majesty's
Charge d'Affaires, the Commander in Chief of His
Majesty's Fleet is anxious to know' what the de-
termination of the Danish Court is, and whether
the Commanding Officer of Cronenberg Castle has
received orders to fire upon the, British Fleet as they
pass into the Sound, as he must deem the firing of
the first gun a Declaration of War on the part of
Denmark.

'SIRS

From the very intricate navigation, the teliona
and Russel unfortunately grounded, but although
not in-the-situation assigned them, yet so placed as
to he 4zteAt set-Vice. The Aganiemnon could not
weather the Shoal of the. Middle, and was obliged
*to anchor; but not the smallest Waite can be at-
tached _to-Captain Fancourt ; it was an evenl_Jo
which all(thi, Ships were liable: These accidents
prevented the extension of our Line by the. three
Ships before mentioned, who would, I am confid,ent,
have -silenced the Crown Islands, the two oiiicr
Ships in the Harbour's.Mouth, and ,prevented the
heavy loss in the Defiance and Monarch, and which
unhappily► threw the-gallant and good Capt. Rion,
(to whom I had given the Command of the Frigates
and Sloops named in the margin t, to, assist in the
Attack of the Ships at the Harbour's Mouth), under
a very heavy fire ; the Consequence has been the
death of Captain Riou, and many brave Officers and
Men in the Frigates and Sloops.

The Bombs were dirctied and took their stations
abreast of the Elephant) and threw some Shells into

the Arserial.

Captain Rost, who volunteered his services to
dired the 'Gun-brigs, did every thing that was
possible to get them forward, but the current was
too strong for them to be of service during the
Aaion ; but not the less merit is due to Captain
Rose, and, I believe, all the Officers and Crews of
the Gun-brigs for their exertiqns.
The Boats of those Ships of the Fleet, who were
not ordered on the Attack, afforded us every ati►
sistanee; and the Officers and Men who were in

them, merit my warmest approbation 4
The Desiree took her ,station in raking the
Southermost Danish Ship of the Line) and performed

the greatest service.

' as well followed up-by every Captain, Officer,, and

It is my duty to state to you the high and dis-,
:ting-uished 'merit and gallantry of Rear. Admiral
Graves.

To Captain Foley, who permitted me the honour
of lipisting my Flag in the Elephant, I feel under
the greatest obligations ; his advice was necessary
on many anTimportant occasions during the Battle.
I beg leave to express how much I feel indebted
to every Captain, Officer, and Man, for their zeal
:and distinguished bravery on this occasion. The
• 1
Hon. Colonel Stewart did me the favour to be on
board the ElephAnt, and himself, with every Officer
and Soldier under his orders, shared witi pleasure
in the toils and dangers of the day.
The loss in such a Battle has naturally been very
heavy. Amongst many other brave Officers and Men
who were killed, I, have with sorrow to place, the
name Of Captain Mosse, of the Monarch, who has
left a wife and six children to lament his loss ; and,
among the wounded, that of Captain Sir Thomas
B. Thompson of the Bellona.

HAMBURGH MAILS.

tOPENHACEN, AralL 4.

Tug day before yesterday, the 24 of April,
was a truly glorious day for Denmark, and will
be distinguished in the Annals of Europe. The
English Fleet, -under the Command of Admiral
Sir HYDE PARKER, having passed the Sound on
I '
the 3oth joiMarch, proceeded on the ist of April,
about fi}ur in the afternoon, in two divisions,' un_der the Command of Vice-Admiral NELSON, and
passed our line of defence. at such a distance as
to be out of the reach of our slim, and anchored
about half a German mile to the eastward of the
Lunette Quietus.

On the 2d of April, about half after, - feil, in the
morning, the two Divisions of the English weighed
anchor, and approached our Line of Defence. These
Divisions consisted of 15 Ships of the Line, and 25
smaller Ships, and the right wing of our Line of
Defence, which was attacked, consisted of 8 Block-
Ships, and 5 smaller Vessels. The Engagement
was begun by one of the firmer, named the
Povesten, Capt. LASSO N, , and an English Frigate.
The Battle lasted between four and five hours,
during which .time the cannonade was incessant.
About three in the afternoon it somewhat slack-
ened, and Admiral NELSON sent a boat with a Flag
of Truce on shore, with offers to negotiate. His
Proposals were,

fsr, That Denmark should recede from its Alfi_

ante with Russia.

zd, That he should be permitted to repair his
Ships in our Docks.

• 3d, That the Wounded on board the. English
Fleer should .be- taken care of in our HospitalS.

Yesterday morning severat.more Flags of Truce

but it is Oserved that the Armistice still con..

restored in a. manner honourable to Denmark, far
only such a Peace is the general Wish. •
