?Kr die is now cast, and Denmark, which has
so Icn4 been at Peace, is involved by circumstances
in a War with England.
'When the English Fleet prepared to Pass the
Sound, it lay in two divisions about. a German mile
to de Northward of the Fortress of Cronenberg.—
Yesterday (the 3oth), about half past six in the

man of abOut twenty, but of great abilitiei) (rave
the Conqueror at Aboutir the first Danish shot,
and was immediately answered by six English
Ships. A dreAciad cannonade now commenced frofl2
all the Batteries of the Fortress.. The first four or
fire English Ships must have found that „the balls
from the ancient Fortress of Cronenburg reached to a
great distance, for the Ships which felio;,ed kept
as near as possible .to the Swedish Coast. They
have to thank the wind and the distance, that 'they
were able to effect theit passage.. 'Some Ships have
however suffered.
While the Fleet was making sail through the
Sound, four Bomb-vessels 'kept up an incessant fire -
on the Fortress and the Town, but only one inan
on the Batteries was killed by a bomb. The balls
from the English Ships could note reach the For-
tress. Some hoUses in the Town have been: da-
maged by the bnmhs.. .
The.brave Oimmandant of the Fortress:. Colonel
STR 1C KE R, the Artillery, the Officers, and eveii.the.
Militia, distinguished themselves very much etonie
of the latter could only be ,restrained by foree-ftoa'
firing longer.
About three.quarters past eight the Fleet had
passeda and . ilie cannonade ceased. The Ships of
the last division did nut fire, -as they observed their
balls did not take aid. • The-Fleet then proceeded
on to Copenhagen, the wind continuing favourable,
and anchored about four in the afternoon near. the
Tsland of ilwerni
