The dirpatches from Lnrd Carncarr, brought to
Yarmouth, on Wednefday, by the SWAN cutter, were
confid.td to the care of Mr. flora sa, who arrived at
the Forrign Office in Downing !beet yellerday morn-
ning early. Tiny are dated the zad ult. The rub-

of water from Copenhagen; an& it was the determi•l
nation of Lord Ca vticarr, with a view to Cave the
effufion of blood, to purfue that mode of warfare
which appeared to him fully calculated to anfwer all
the purpofes with little lots.

Admiral GA /4 111 IR had ordered a numbei of tranf-
ports and light veffels to be moored in the Sallow
grounds, to anfwer all the purples of buoys, to as
to leave a free and uninterrupted paffage to the (hips
of war ; a calm fucceeded, and the Danifh gunboats
came out ; they took poffeffion of a galliot, which
they hauled into the mouth of the harbour, and fet
fire to an Eat! Country fhip which was Rationed on
this ferviee. This trifling circumllance. of epode,
had no drat ; the troops were in the highell health
and (pit its, and no doubt was entertained of complete
fuccefs.
The Crown Batteries were to be bombarded on the
a3d. Five thoufand reamers and marines bad volun-
teered their Cervices, and the attack was to be made
by divifions of Soo each.
A convoy, confining of nearly too waggons, laden
with ammunition, principally gunpowder, and ercor-
ted by about 800 Dann troops, is Rated to have been
captured by our army, on its way to Copenhagen.
General Baud. or, according to Come accounts,l
General Bsartusa, is (aid to have procured admit-!
lion, in difguife, into Copenhagen, and had taken the
command of the troops, and the management of the
defence of the place.
The loffes which will be fußained by the Danes, if
no reftitution is made to them, is at prefent incalcu-
lable. The greater part of the capital of Denmark
is engaged in commerce ; and at this time there are
t t Danifh Eali Indiamen afloat, moll of which are
homeward bound. There are alto (exciufive of the
thins detained in Englifh ports) upwards of aoo

and met with trifling oppofition on their march. A
detachment of the German troops, under the com-
mand of General DEKKIN, attacked and carried the
Royal Foundery, which is fitnated about eight miles
from Copenhagen. It was defended by a Major and
830 men. all of whom were made prifoners. The
Danes coilefled a fmall force at a place called Rof-
cheld, and appeared for a (tort time determined to
make a nand; but upon the approach of our troops
they retreated with precipitation. Some in boats
of the enemy were alto compelled to retreat. Our
whole loft upon thefe occafions confined of two ar-
tillery men, and two Officers, Lieutent LYONS and
Enfign Dic xsow. At the Foundery our troops took
putictrnin of a great number of cannon, and a conii
derable quantity of ammunition.
When the accounts came away Copenhagen was
completely invened—the batteries were e►efted, and
it was expeeted that they would open their fire upon
the city the 23d. We undernand that L•rrd CATH.
cast was of opinion that the Force under his com-
mand was fufficient to have carried Copenhagen by
affitilt ; but as it is furrounded by a broad wet ditch,
a number of lives mull of courre have been facrificed
in the attack, and as them: was no pnflibility of the
place being relieved, his Lordthip thought it more
advifeable to proceed in the regular manner. Very
little doubt was entertained that the City would fur-
render in a few days. Indeed a confiderable number
of the more wealthy inhabitants, had openly expref-
fed their with that a Capitulation fhould take place.
In order to facilitate the attack on the land fide, it
was determined that the fleet (hould attack the Crown
Batteries, the capture, or the filencing of which,
%valid enable ou: vefrels to be laid cl:,re to the Town
we undernand, that before the Swaw cutter,
which br•)ught the difpatches, faded on the morning
of the 23d, our [him had began to cannonade to can
nonade there batteries. After the inveliment of Co-
penhagen, orders were ifrued by Lurd CATHCART to
prevent every perfon from quitting the City, except
the Princefres, who had taken advantage of that per-
ruitnuo, and retired, we believe, on the 18;h.
Our troops were all in pedal health, and were
amply fupplied with proviffons. Many of the Coun-
try Gen lemon had agreed to alt under our Commit
lion as Magifirates; judicious regulations had been
efiablinted; fevere difcipline was enforced, in conic-
quence of which the country people brought in their
provifions for fide without hefitation ur apprehenfion,
for which they were punaually paid.
The following are CltraaS from private letters

/3y a veffel arrived at Guernfey from a port in
France, our information communicated to the public
on Wednefday, is confirmed. An embargo on all
Plrtnguefe veliels in the ports of France, has aelually
taken place, which *has been followed by a fimilar
meafure with refped to all Dann vefrels. A notice
to this effelt was yeflerday polled at LLOYD'S. It is
tuppofed, however, that the embargo on the latter
valets is at the inftance of the Dana Government,
to prevent their capture by &high cruizers.
Onr cruizers flop all velrels bound to the Danifh
p•rrt,. A Dutch Captain returned to the River yet.
tardy, in confequence of his having been prevented
from entering Tonningen.

On the arrival of the difpatches yefletday, a num.
her of difagreeable rumours gra into circulation, all
of which were unfounded. They originated in the
mere circumltance of no letter having been addreffed
to the Loan MAYOR, as on the p:eceding day.
Among the many reports. that prevailed in the
City yeacrday, nat the lead extraordinary was, that
the Dinilh fleet had cfcaped from Copenhagen. The
rurn'u.r was, however, too abfurd to gain credit, even
on the Stock Exchange.
A letter from a perfon high in command on beard
the fleet now in the Baltic, dated the 2itt ult. !tires,
that they were then preparing gun and mortar batte-
ries in the rear of the Crown Batteries of C^penha-
gen ; that a general meeting of the commanding land
and tea Officers was to take place on that day ; and
that the grand attack was to take place in about three
or four days thereafter. Another letter, from an offi-
cer of the Mars, dated aad Augittl, 6 o'clock, P. M
fayi, that General Baton's Brigade the &II that
landed, Sir ARTHUR WELLViLkY'S the fecund, and
General Sys OMER'S the third : that on the Kith there
was Come fkirmithing, in which the Danes lot! about
forty men, and we alto a few ; and that, at the mo
ment of writing, there was Come hard fighting--the
Danes difputing every inch of ground, but retreating.
The Troops that landed at Wilbeek, ten miles
North of Copenhagen, were the Troops that were
embarked in the Dlwits. The German Legion,
