Bess, by the arrifsl of the orffcial accounts which 1
we have just g,heti. Letters from Helsenburgh,.l
dated the 18th ult. after mentioning the landing of tbe
British at Wisbeck, on the 16th, state, that on the
next day (Monday the 17th), a heavy firing was heard
in the direaion of Copenhagen, and a Courier report-
ed that Copenhagen had surrendered.
This account, however, is contradiaed by letters
from Gottenburgh, which state, that a\ Courier he
arrived there on the 21st from Malmo, who brought
intelligence that the English Fleet was Bombarding
Copenhagen on the t 9th.—The latter account, we
are inclined* to believe, is the correa one.

TaiE Danish Packet Foedr. es Mende, from Bengal,
is arrived in the Downs : she parted from the home-
ward-bound Fleet, consisting of thirteen Sail of East
Indiamen, two Whalers, and the Brig Fly, about
a month since, in lat. 18. N.

Yesterday evening Mr. BASSET, the Me:,-,ongtir,

We are extremely concerned to state, his Royal
Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE met, on Satur-
day morning, a disagreeable accident, while inspeta-
ing Colonel 'BOLTON'S Brigade of Light Cavalry on
Hounslow Neal!). The horse of an Officer in his
suite lashed out, and struck him a violent blow on the
foot, His Royal Highness made very slight of it,
but was prevailed upon to proceed to the adjacent
barracks, attended by Dr. ROCHE' of the 13th Light
Dragbons, who • applied suitable remedies to the
contusion, which Was considerable. We sincerely
trust the accident will prove. of trifling consequence.
On Monday night ;he remains of the Duchess of
GLOUCESTER was interred privately in the family
vault, at Wind Sot, granted by His MAJESTY. The
corpse arrived at St. George's Chapel aboUt nine
o'clock, in a hearse drawn by eight horses ; it was
received by all the Clergy belonging to the Chapel,
and the Gentlemen or the Choir, who sour; the fu-
neral service. The Duk&of GLOUCESTER was the
chief mourner ; His Highness was followed by se-
veral of the Duchess'. s relatives and particular friends.

Letters were yesterday received from the coast of
France, which'state, that on the tifith ult. an order
bad been issued for laying an iminediate embargo on
all Portuguese vessels in the ports of France, which
order bad already been veiy.generallx carric.l into
en ea. ix- tms statement COI-ref; U measure de-
scribed was probably resorted to by DONAPARTii for
the purpose of inducing the prompt compliance of
the Portuguese Government with the demand lately
made upon them, to .exclude all British commerce
from the ports of Portugal.
Private letters from Ifamburgh gon firm our for-
mer accounts relative to the general enforcement of
the order of tbe Danish GoFertiment for the seizure
of all British property, and the arrest of all British.
subje&s; with this important addition, that it was
at length 'accurattly ascertained, that immediately
after the ratification of the Treaty 'of Tilsit, the Coart
of Denmark consented to make common cause with
Russia and France against the commercial interests
of Great Muni.

The East India Convoy, for the safety of which
Much apprehension has; ht.,co entertai(wd, havealct

yet entered the Ch.innel nor shookl it be thought
extraordinary if they du not . arrive this fortnigiit.
The Officers Of the Concorde say, the Convoy would
be at least a month behind them in reaching

land.

It. was lately statel that a small French Squalron,

having any icnewledge of the aboVe Ships, notwall-

wind was fresh from the westward during the time
~they were in sight, and they continued the whole
time under very little sail, seldom making any al-

which, during that time, catoe in sight. One Brig
only, which ran down to them, was detained. Ott

until Tuesday last, when the Crown Prince

tween two and three thousand troops in Copen-

and gave similar orders. ' The English Minister, • ''
Mr. GAROCKE, bad gone on a mission to Memel,
