~'.... in flank while they should attack this entrench-
mem. This disposition obliged me to move Col.
Reden's Hussars from the right to the left flank, and
to throw the 43d into a second line; and then the
1
93d carried the entrenchment, and forced the Enemy .'
to retreat into the town hi disorder. They were
: followed immediately in the most gallant style by
Colonel Reden and his Hussars, and by the Ist bat- ~
. talion 95th regiment, and afterwards by the whole ,
of the infantry of my corps., Upon crossing the,
rivulet, we found General Linsengen's Corps upon
our right flank, and the whole joined in the pursuit
of the Enemy.
Major-General Ozhoken, t he secOnd'in command,
who had joined the Army with fotir battalions last
night from the Southern Island, attempted, to stand in
the village of Herfolge, but .he was attacked briskly
by:the hussars, with -detachments of :which were
Captain Blaquiere , and Captain Cotton of. the Staff,
and by a small detachment of the Ist of the 95th ;
find he was COPliftelied to surrender • with Count
Wedel Jarlsbutg, several other Officers, and four
hundred men. • .. . . !
The loss:of the Enemy has been very great,
many have fallen, and there are -nearly sixty Offi-
cers, and one thousand one hundred men prisoners..
In- their flight they have thrown away their arm
and clothing, and many ,stands of the former have
fallen into our hinds. I believe that We have taken
ten pieces of cannon ; 'but ',have not yet received
all the Reports from' the detachments employed in
the pursuit of the Enemy.. I have not seen General
Linsengen, as he is still out with laic Hussars; but
I understand that the. Enemy had destroyed the
bridges at Little. Salbye, which was the cause of the
delay of his operations upon their flank.

We this day 'insert :the Gazette Extraordinary;
published last night, containing the. official Dis-
patches-relative to the surrender of Copenhagen and
the Danish Fleet. We communicated yesterday all
the principal fads.
A Suppkmentary Gazette was published this morn.
ing, containing the details of the transa4lions which
led to the surrender. Its great length, and the late
hour at which it was published, prevents us from
inserting' the' whole this .day : we have therefore se;-
1.4 the most important parts, and must give the
reTainder- to-morrow,

General Pr cm,txdidnot send out a Flag of Trtice un-
til a breach was, made, and himself wounded severely.
This brave Officer carried.his determined resolution
to hold out perhaps much beyond what the .cir-
eunistances of the siege could.jUstify. The destruc
tion of buildings in this-fine'city is very great. The'
largesi:dnich is entirely consumed, and its turret,
surmounted by a tall spire, when enveloped in the
flames in the night-time,- is said to have exhibited
one of the most awfutsceneethat can well be irua.

from the redoubt ; but, in the Mean time, the

was made on different points, the Infantry„Flunn I
had .ordered,; through my Adjutant, to meet the
Enemy ou the beach, was cut Off, and the Troops

by PicqUets, which hod
