HELSINGBURG, AUGUS r 17.

There has been a goof deal of firing here daily,
but nothing of importance has yet taken place be-
tween the Englifh forces and thole of the. Danes. A
great part of the fuburbs of Copenhagen have been
burnt by the Danes to impede the approaches of the
Englifh, but neverthelefs the latter go on rapidly
with the works. A great number of Dana velrels
made prizes, have been taken to the Englifh fleet.

" Copenhagen is entirely furrounded, the frelh
water is cat off, and there is fo great a fcarcity of
provifions, that in a few days we may expel to hear
of its furrendcring.
4• The Royal Family applied to get leave of
Lord Cathcart to withdraw from Copenhagen; in
paffing though the Englifh army they received mili-
tary honours—they are gone to Holffein, there to'
remain till the fate of the capital is decided. The
politics of Europe are fuch as to have rendered it of
the greateft importance for England to take paid-
fion of the ifland, and to keep it."
