Citadel of Copenhagen, Sept. B.

MY Lotto—Tt has fallen to my let to have the
great fatisfaCtion of forwarding to your Lordfhip the
ratified capitulation of the town and citadel of Copen-
hagen, including the furrender of the Danifh fleet
and arfenal in this port, which are placed at his Ma-
jelly's difpofal.
The object of fecuring this fleet having been attain•
ed, every other provifion of a tendency to wound the
I feelings, or irritate the nation, has been avoided; and
I although the bombardment and cannonade have
made confiderable havock and deflruCtion in the town,
not one shot was fired into it till after it was fum.
moned, with the offer of the molt advantageous
terms, nor a tingle shot after the firft indication of
a difpofition to capitulate ; on the contrary, the
firing, which lafted three nights flout his Majeftl's
batteries, was confiderably abated on the ad, and
WAS only renewed on the 3d to its full vigour, on
fuppofing, from the quantity of fhtlls thrown from
the place, that there was a determination to hold
out.

On the evening of the sth September a letter was
fent by the Danifh General to potpnee an armi (lice
of 24 hours, for preparing an agreement on which
articles of capitulation might be founded. The ar-
miltice was declined, as tending to unneceffary delay,
and the works were continued, but the firing was
countermanded, and Lieutenant Colonel Murray
was fent to explain, that no propofal of capitulation
could be liflened to, unlefs accompanied by the fur.
retider of the fleet.
This bats having been admitted by a fubfequent
letter, on the 6th, Major General Sir A. Wellefley,
whom I had fent for, for this purpofe, from his corn•
mand in the country, where he had dillinguilbed
himfelf in a manner fo honourable to himfeif, and fo
advantageous to the public, was appointed with Sir
Home Popham and Lieutenant Colonel Murray, to
prepare and fign articles of capitulation ; and thole
officers having infilled on proceeding immediately to
bufiixes, the capitulation was drawn up in the bight
between the 6th and 7th.
The ratification was eechanged in tF,e courfe of
the mornieg, and at font in the afternr•on of the fame
day, Lieutenant General Burrard proceeded to take
polreffion.
The Britiffi Grenadiers prefent, with detachments
luau all the other corps of cavalry and infantry,
under the command of Colonel Cameron of the 79th
regiment, with two bligades of artillery, marched
into the citadel, while M?jor General Spencer, having
embarked his brigade at the Kalk Brandiere, landed
in the dock yard, and took p• :Teflon , f each of the
line of battle lltips, and of all the arfenal, the Danilli
guards withdrawing when thole of his Islajetty were
ready to replace them, and proper offict rs attending
to deliver gores, as far as inventories could be made up.
The town being in a Rate of the greateft ferment
and diforder, I moti willingly acceded to the requeß
that our troops fhould not be quartered in it, and
that neither officers or fuldiers fhould enter it for
Tome days ; and having the command of pofreffion
from the citadel whenever it might be itecefeary to
ufe it, I had no objection to leaving the other gates
in the hands of the troops of his aural Majelly, to.
gether with the police of the place.
We have confented to the re eflablilhment of the
Pot} ; out all arrivals and departures are to be at and
from the citadel.
This work is in good condition, very lirong, and
well flured with ordnance and ammunition.
The amount of the garrifon of the town is not
ealily afeertained. The regular troops were not nu.
rnerous—but the number of batteries which filed at
the fame time, together with the floating defences,
prove that there muft have been a very great num.
ber of militia and burghers, with other irregular forces;
and their ordnance was well (erved.
Confideting the advanced pofition in which his
Majetly's troops have been placed fur the laft fort-
night, our lugs (highly as I prize the valour of every
officer or foldier who has fallen or been wounded)
has been comparatively (mall.
The zeal, fpirit, and perfeverance of every rank
in the army, have been truly charafteriffic of the Bri-
dal nation; and the King's German Legion are en-
titled to a full bare in thsa commendation.
AU the Generals, and indeed each officer, has ren-
dered himfelf coal's:cm:u, in proportion to his com-
mand, and the opportunities winch have occurred ;
Mad opportunities have occurred to all.
The Staff bee done themfelves thegreateft credit,
and been of all the fervice that could be &fired in
their feveral depattments.
Colonel D'Arcey. the chief engineer, and every
mimes: under 40, have giyeu the molt unecjuiv•

cal proofs of [donee and indefatigable induftry the
works under their direition have gone on, with fresh
parties, without ceafing.
General Bloomfield, and the officers and corps of
Royal Artillery, have doae great honour to them•
fans, and to that branch of his Majefty's fervice, cf
which their fire upon the gun boats, and the rapidity
and fuccers of the mortar praaice, afford fufficient
proofs; nor is the ditiribution of-battering ordnance,
and of fo much ammunition at fo many points in this
extenlive line, is fo fhort a period, a fmall proof of
the method and refources of that corps.
Lieutenant Colonel Smith, with the 82d regiment
under his command, held the port at the Windmill
on the left, which for the greater part of the time
was the moft expofed to the gun boats and forties of
the enemy ; and the unremitting attentions of that
officer claim particular notice.
By the naval blockade, the force oppofed to us has
been limited to the refources of this and the adjacent
Mandl, feparated only by narrow ferries ; and almoft
every with of affiaance has been anticipated, and every
requifition of boats, guns, and totes, has been moll
amply and effeetually provided for, with the greateft
difpatch and the moft perfea cordiality; and every
poffible attention has been paid, and every accom•
modation given, by every Officer in that fervice,
from Admiral Gambier downwards.

A battalion of feamen and marines, with three di-
vificns of carpenters, were landed on the gth, under
Captain Watfon, of his Majeay's (hip Inflexible; and
had the effort been made, which would have been
retorted to in a few days, if the place had not capi•
tulated, their Cervices in the paffage of the ditch
would have been dillinguithed.

I fend this difpatch by Lieutenant Cathcart, who
has become for Tome time my firitAid de Camp, who
has feen every thing that has occurred here and at
Stealfund, and will 1.• able to give any further details
that may be required.

SlR—The communications whtch I have al.r.ady
had the honour of tratfmit to you, v. ill have made
the Lords Commifloners of the Admiralty a eq,l4in-
ted with the proceedings of the fleet under my corn.
mend down to the sd inflant. I have now to add,
that the mortar batteries which had been ereaed by
the army in the feveral pofitions they had taken
round Copenhagen, together with the bomb veffels,
which were placed in convenient flirtations, began the
bombardment in the morning of that day, with (nett
power and effect, that in a fhort time the town was
fet on fire, and by the repeated difcharges of our
artillery, was kept in flames, in different places, tilt
the evening of the gth, when a confiderable part of it
being confumed, and the conflagration having arrived
at a great height, threatened the fpeedy detlrualom
of the whole city, the General commanding the gar-
rifon fent out a flag of truce defiring an armiftice, to
afford time to treat for a capitulation. After lone
correfpondence had paired between the Danifh Gene-
ral and Lord Cathcart and myfelf, certain articles
were agreed upon, of which I have the honour to
tranfmit you a copy. From thefe their Lordfhipe
will perceive, that all the Danilh !hips and yards (of
which I inclofe a lift), with the floret in the arfenal,
were to be delivered up to fuch perfons as fhould be
appointed to receive them on the part of his hfajelly.
I accordingly appointed Sir Home Popham fot this
purpofe, and having made the neceffary arrangements
, for equipping them with the utmoft difpatch„ I have
committed the execution of this ter vice to Vice Ad-
miral Stanhope, in whofe ability and exertions I can
place the fulleß confidence.
I am happy on this occafion to exprefs the warm
(cafe I entertain of the cordial co•operation of the
army, by whole exertions, with the favourable cos.
currence of circumftances, under Divine Providence,
ever fince we left England, our ultimate fuccefs has
been more immediately obtained. I mutt alfo con.
vey to their Lordfhips, in terms of the higheft appro.
bation and praife, the confpicuous zeal and earneft
eod,eavours of every officer and man under my
command for the accomplifbment of this krvicei
and although the operations of the fleet have DM
been of a nature to afford me a general and brillia
occafion for adding frefh teflimony to the numerous
records of the bravery of Bikini feamen and marines,
yet the gallantry and energy difplayed by the ad.
vanced fquadron of !loops, bombs, gun Inks, &c.
which were employed under the command of
Puget, to cover the operations of the left wing
the army from the Daniffi flotilla, ought not to be
paffed over in filence. I have beheld with admire.
tion the Ready courage and arduous exertion with
which, on one occafion in particular, they fultained
for more than four hours a heavy and inceffant can
nonade with theDanifh batteries, block (hips, praamt,
and gun boats, in a fituation where, from the fhoal.
nets of the water, it was impeffible to bring any d
the large (hips to their fupport.
I feel it my duty to make a particular aeknos '
ledgment of the aid I have derived from Sir Hone
Popham,Captain of the fleet, whofe prompt refources,
and complete knowledge of his profeffinn, efpeciall
is
of that branch which conflated with the open.
tions of an army, qualify himallisticular soaps.
for the arduous and various h which hells
been charged.
I herewith inclofe an account of the killed and

I beg leave to refer their Lordnsips to Capri'

[Second Difpatch—From Admiral GAMBIER, of

fent to the Governor of Copenhagen. The following
are the principal articles] :
If you wilt confent to delivernp the Danifh fleet,
and to our carrying it away, it !hall be held in depo-
it for his Danifh Majefly, and (ball be rettored, with
1111 its equipments, in as good Rate as it is received,"as
(04n as the provihonsof a general peace (hall remove
the oeceility which has occafioned this demand.
The property of all forts which has been captured
fince the commencement of holtilities will be reftored
to its owners, and the union between the United
Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, and Den-
mark, may be renewed.
But if this offer is rejefted now, it cannot be re-
peated. The captured property, public and private,
mutt then belong to the captors ; and the city, when
taken, mutt (hare the fate of conquered places.

fetter is given in the Gazette. The fummons was

the report of the Expedition undertaken by Brigadier
Geiteral Von der I)ecken ; in the courfe of which he
Made a great number of troops capitulate, and alfo
took poffeffion of the Foundery and Powder Mills at
Friedrickfwerk. ,Amongft the incloftires is the Ca-
pitulation, which has been ratified; and the Com-
manding General in Copenhagen has actually per
mitted the artillerymen included in the Capitulation,
but who were ferving in the place, to come out of
the town as ptifoners on capitulation.
The talents, zeal, and allivity of the Brigadier
General have rendered him extremely ufeful on every
occafion which has occurred to employ him.

Jagerberg, Anguft 19, 1807.
MY LORD—After I had the honour to (late to
our Lordfhip yeßerday the capture of fix waggons
loaded with pow'der, and alto of a confiderable quan•
tity of arms at Frederidelladt, which I have fent to
Major General Linfengen, I learned that a convoy of
one hundred and eighty waggons, loaded with
gunpowder, and efeorted by upwards of five hun-
dred men, was on its way to Frederickftade, af-
ter having in vain attempted to enter Copenhagen
by way of Roefkilde. I refulved to attempt tocut it off
from Prederickfvrerk, arid proceeded for that purpofe
to Krigurne. I was informed here that the Paid convoy
had palled there two hours before,Onat the elcort was
very much fatigued, and had begun to defert. I was
told that Friedrickfwerk was a very ftrong
defended by a corps called the Volunteers of that
place, railed by the Crown Prince hitufelf for the pro.
teftion of the Powder Mills and Arfenal there. Al-
though the horfes of my detachment (which was
compofed of Icy light dragoons of the la Light, in-
cluding 18 dragoons of the 3d) were very fatigued,
yet I thought it advifable to attempt to take the
place by furprixe. I approached Friedrickfwerk at
one o'clock of the morning. Captain Kraukenberg,
of the ill Light Dragoons, fucceeded in furprifing an
advanced piquet of nine men. In arriving near the
entrance, where we expeeted to find a battery, we
met an officer, who informed me that the command-
ing officer was willing to capitulate, if I would grant
him honourable terms. After fome converfation with
Major Tfchering, Aid.du-Camp to the Prince, and
Governor of that place, he agreed to furrender with
his torps, 860 bong, including t !!seers, under the
Condition that he and his whole corps fhould not ferve
doting the war, or until an exchange had taken place.
I found a great quantity of powder (about resoo
centuers) a number of guns and (mall arms. As I
had no means to carry off the powder, and even no
time to deftroy it, 1 was obliged ro be fatisfied with
the ptomife of the Major and all the officers upon
honour, that neither powder nor gores lhould be
iffued to the Danes. As there was no means of get-
ting waggons, I was obliged to be fatisfied with car-
rying off the four guns, and half the arms of the
tarps which had furrendered, and which I have de.
livered to Major General Linfengen.
I left Friederickfwerk this morning at five o'clock
and found myfelf loon after attacked almoft in all
the villages by peafants armed with forks, delivered
for that purpofe by the Dana's Government, the
greater part on foot, but fome on horfeback. The
Dragoons took about 50 of thefe peafants and five
honks without any lots on our fide. On receiving in•
formation that all the roads in the woods before and
behind Friedrickfwerk were full of peafants (fome of
which were armed with Rifles), I changed my road
by marching to the left, where the ground is open,
and I difcharged the peafants after explaining to them
the objeft of our being in this country.
I cannot conclude this long report without certi
fling to your Lordflip my great faticfaftion with
• the condo& of the Officers and men which I have had
the honour to command on this occafion, and to re-
commend to your Lordfhip's notice Capt. Krauck-
enberg of the tft Light Dragoons.

Kioge, Auguft 29, zBc7.
My Lord,—According to the intention which I
announced to your Lordlhip on the evening of the

CATHCART.

27th, I moved to Rnetkild Krot, fold placed Cchnel
Reden at Vallenfbrek ; and General Linfengen
ranched yeflerday morning to Rofkild ; by there I
different movements his force became the right 42-
Ilea,' of the left.
Having had rearm to believe that the enemy 1411
remained at Kinge, I determined to attack him this
day. I fettled. with Gs'rieral Linfengen. that he
fhould trots the Kioge rivulet at Lille Sellyas, and
turn the enemy's left flan, while I thould move along
the tea road towards Kioge, and attack him in front.
Both divifions broke ep this morning, and march-
'ed according to the plan concerted. Upon my
approach to Kioge, I found the enemy in force on
the north fide of the town and rivulet, and they com-
menced a cannonade upon the Patroles of Huffars in
my front ; they had three or four regular battalions
formed in one line, with cavalry on both flanks, and
apparently a large body beyond the town and rivulet.
At the time agreed upon with General Linfengen, I
formed my infantry in one line, with the left to the
tea, having the two (quadrons of huffars upon the
right. There bad been force appearance of a move-
ment by the enemy to their left ; and I had not had
any communication with General Linfengen, and
was not certain that he had paled the rivulet. I
therefore thought it proper to make the attack in an
echallon of battalions from the left ; the whole co-
vered by the la battalion 95th regiment, and by the
fire of our artillery.
It fell to the lot of the 92d Regiment to lead this
attack, and they performed their part in the moil et-
manner, and were equally well fupported
by the 52d and 43d.
The enemy ion retired to an entrenchment which
they bad formed in front of a camp on the North fide
of Kioge, and they made a difpofition of their cavalry
upon the lands to charge the 92d in flank while they
flrould attack this entrenchment. This difpofition
obliged me to move Colonel Reden's huffars from
the right to the left flank. and to throw the 43d into
a fecond line; and then the 93d carried the entrench-
ment,
and forced the enemy to retreat into the town in
diforder. They were followed immediately in the molt
gallant flyle by Col. Reden and his huffars, and by
the ill Battalion 95,h Regiment, and afterwards by
the wh'ole of the Infantry of my corps. Upon crof-
, fing the rivulet, we found General Linfengen's corps
upon our right flank, and the whole joined in the
purfuit of the enemy.
Major General Ozhoken, the fecond in command,
who had joined the army with four battalions loft
night from the fou.hern ifland, attempted to Rand in
the village of FL:rfolge, but he was attacked brilkly
by the Huffars, with detachments of which were
Captain Blaquiere and Captain Cotton of the Staff,
and by a fmall detachment of the tft of the 95th ;
and he was compelled to furrender with Count We-
del Jarliburg, feveral other Officers, and four hurl.
dred men.

The lots of the enemy has been very great, many
have fallen, and there are nearly 6o officers and I too
men prifuners. In their flight they have thrown
away their arms and cloathing, and many Rands of
the former have fallen into our hands. (I believe
that we have taken ten pieces of cannon ; but I have
not yet received all the reports from the detachments
employed in the purfuit of the enemy. I have not
teen General Linfengen, as he is Rill out with his huf-
fars, but I underßand that the enemy had deftroyed
the bridges at Little Salbye, which was the caufe of
the dtlay of his operations upon their flank.
I' cannot clofe this letter without expreffing to
your Lordfhip my fenfe of the good conduit of the
troops ; all concluded themfelves with the utmoll
Readinefs ; but I cannot avoid to mention particu-
larly the sad regiment, under the command of Lieut.
Colonel Napier ;—the IR battalion 95th regiment,
under the command of Lieut. Colonel Beckwith ;
the &kith Artillery, under the command of Captain
Newhoufe ; the Hanoverian Huffars, under Colonel
Reden, and the Hanoverian Light Artillery, under
Captain Symrer, as a corps that had particular op
portunities of diftinguifhing themfelves; I am alto
much, obliged to General Linfengen and to Bri-
gadier General Stewart, for the of llance I received
from them in the formation and execution of the
plan by which the enemy have been defeated. The
officers of the Staff have alio rendered me much affif
tance ; and I mull particularly mention Captain Bla-
quiere and Captain Campbell. I have the honour to
be, etc. (Signed) ARTHUR WELLESLEY.

P. S. We have taken a large fore of powder and
otl)er military floret in this town, which I propofe
to dellpsy, if I thould not be able to prevail upon the
Captain of one of his Majefty's !hips to takc charge
of them.
