The contents of *dick various difpatates have

that on Sunday the ad Infant, Admiral Gam atea's
Seet;confifting of 54 fail of the line, and five or fix
Motet, came in fight of the Sound, and brought to
off the Cole ; next morning they arrived in Elfineur
Roads, and drew op fn hat of battle, in which po•
Aden they were left whin the Wilberforge came away.

Manner in which the Commander of the Danis for-
trefs was to iet t and in return he was ordered bot
to attempt *Ailing their paging the Sound. The
PRINCE OF WALES* Admiral GAtApPRIS flag (hip,
fainted the battery as. (he pared, which was returned
by the Danes. The populace fterned to be very fa.
'tnably difpofed towards our people. The magni.
Lode of the force thus fent into the Baltic, and the
extieditidn with which it had been prepared, created
much aftonifhment.

Teveral frigates, (loops of war, tranfports, &c.
was lying in the Belt. The Crown Prince of Dia.
team was with the army in Holftein ; and the Danes
*ere wholly unprepared to offer any refinance. lt
was generally fuppofed that our troops would take
poffeffion of the Ifland of Zealand; but no Reps to.
*girds fuch a meafure had been adopted, when the
Wilberforce came away.
The Wilberforce puffed a fleet of yo fail of large
tranfports off the Anholt, from the Channel, 'full of
troops ; alto about so fail of tranfports of the Leffoe,
under prole Lion of a 74 gun Chip ; the latter are
fuppofed to be that part of the German Legion that i
embarked at this place ; likewife paired fame other
ftript of the line, frigates, and tranfports, in the
Cattegat and Sleeve."
