T4t4 morning arrived 4-Mail from Lisbon, brought

KeCoived the following ,Letter :. • •
" OPOATO, AUG. --Our Consul has been in-

ANOTR CR day has elapsed, and no official
fence has, been received from Admiral. GAMBIER.
Mr. PROUDII AN and three other Messengers arrived
yesterday, but they were detained so long atHeligoland
that they bring no official intelligence.of a later date
thon, that which had previously reached us. It was
very currently reported, however, before they sailed,
Altai Copenhagen and the Danish N;tvy kid stirren•
dered. The Lady Wepean Packet:was fired at by some
Danish Gun-boats, but escaped. :It' is'alio rumoured
,thlt the Que* Frigate has taken six Danish Green
land Ships.

Stuca theohjea:of the Expedition tinder Admiral
G: 'meteß has been known, ionie of the Opposition
Papers have ocotisinnolly thrown out something.like
doubt as tp out.
,right to take ineainres tolirevent:

France though they have ne% xi...taut-at° meet
the gnestiOn urly . but, fo'r the excellence of the'
plan, and theunpreeedentedprompitiesS with which
Ewedition .wal fitted out, we really thottglit that
101 parties concurred: in giving GovernMent the
praise to which it is unqUestionably.entided. A Pa-,
per, however, of this morning, assumes the faa that
trlfavOurable- news respeeting the Ej<Pedition' has
ben received, and then snecrs at the., :lan as;.the
.produk,ition of the .111 h.: of Po L9rd CASTLE-
)t3.;.I,GI:I,I4id Sir JAM.E3 PULTEN surpriie was'
•
not a little inCreavi by finding an Extrad' from the
Second Edition of Ti SON of last night, quoted as
a proof that iotelligence nut Favourable to„the.tx-
pedition had been received. The. Extract is as fol,
lows

f‘ .We stop the Press to state, that Mr. paou Dm AN,
and two other Mesiienpr,i, arried this morning at
the Foreign thfico from 41tona, 'They: were de-
tAined so long at Heligoland that, they do not bring
iviy intelligence of a very,late date, but it was it,bo.
lidetrtly reported, andgeneraily believed, before they
.4111 t, away, that C.9p6ulfageti, with the whole
of the Danish Marine,: had surrendered to us. Capt,
MAN, of the Lady Nepean Packet, was attached
mar Tonningen by some Danish Boats, which re-
peatedly fired at him, but a breeze of wind .;,prit%-
ln,e; up he effeaeft his escape.”,

' Another Evening Paper stopped the Press to con-
trey to 'its Reader: .in substance the same
..account,
44 from these paragraphs, stating, "' that no official
accounts had been received, but when' the Nies.-
sengers catne away it wets r ieparted arif Copenhagen
4,,zd' the whole Danish IVai).4 had surfenriend to us,"
it is inferred that intelligence unfiwourOble tO the.
Expedition 'has Len received. The ground upon
which the Duke of PORTL,4III)J Lord.CASTLEREA'Ciff,
end Sir J.PuLT N:L:'.l arc censured as the plannersef this
Expedition, is not very dialinaly stated, but it appears
io be this, that the force sent upon the'Etpeclition
is not cquit to the force which Penrnark is able
to-bring against Jr., 'Li orilar.to prove this proposi-
tion, a statement is given of the Danish Army
and N.:vY. With respedt to the latter', though
the accwant is evidently e::l2geratecl, it is not
neec,,,:iry to offer I:1)y observation, because it is
upon the great superiority
.of the Daiiish Land
Forces tharthe probability of our failtire,,is ctitctalated.
The Laud Forces of Dernnatk are stated to amount
fo 03,000 men, of thfise 38,000 are Infantry of the
Line, .9000 Cavalry, 30,000 Militia, area 16,000
,
Feueiblei, tit this force 35;000 is stated to be in
Norway, and 48,000 in 13enthark and klolitein, Tt
is then' asserted, tritimphanily, • that -" it is impos-
taible to expert an easy conquest against, such a forec;','
ind it is asked " in what manner can we take pot-
Session a the Danish Fleet against a 'Land Force
. ,
so infinitely superior ?" The. answer, if such argu-

rnents;deserve a) answer, is, that our Expiclitioo
fiat dire&ed against Norway,
.agarust
c;iiitinetital part of Domlnk, hat st
the o! thitt the furce einploy:.d in
oil,. Expedition i so super or to the military force in

Zealand, that all resistance must be ultimately fruit-
less ; and. that our Fleet haying completely -sur-
rounded that Island, no reinforcements can -reach it -;
and therefore, that part of the Infantry,* Cavalry.,
Militia, and Fencibles, pf this formidable army. of
83,000 men, which did not•happen to be in Zealand
at the time our Expedition-arr4ved-there; will not be
able to offer any very.serions impediment to our tak-
ing possession of the Island and the Danish Navy.

the Proposition submitted to the House; ofComMons
