The John, Numus, from hence, at Martinico.
The Aaise,l Coacess, arrived at Barbadoes
the 6th of March, in company with the Cork fleet,
all well, and was to fail next day for Martinico

COPY OF A LETTS& FROM AN OFFICIER ON BOARD HIS
MAJESTY'S SHIP JAMAICA, CAPTAIN los!, DAT.
F.DBEFORE COPENHAGEN. APRIL 6, Itiot.

a My dear Father—Though you will fee
through the medium of the official letters, accounts
of the fuccefres of the Fleet in this partof the world,
yet I cannot but fuppofe it will be more gratifying
to you to hear the detail from an eyewitnefs, as at
the fame time it gives me an inexpreffible pleafure
in writing h me. Our (hip left Yarmouth en Fri-
day loth March, and proceeded towards the Catte-
gate ; had very blowing weather until Tuefday fol.
lowing, when we joined the fleet at anchor near
the Knoll, where they had been only two days :
indeed many of the fmall veffels had not been able
to work up, but were continually arriving. Oa
Thurfday the fleet weighed, and arrived in the en-
trance of Elfineur Roads, where we anchored;
fineur Cattle in fight, diflant about three miles.—
The wind being contrary, we could not attempt
to pats it, though we weighed feveral times for that
purpofe. On Monday (3oth March) we weighed,
and paired out of gun-fhot, by keeping well over
on the Swedifh fhore, as the Swedes never attempt.
ed to moleft us : the batteries at Elfineur kept up
a continual firing at us. Same morning we anchor-
ed within five miles of Copenhagen, with a fine
fleet of 19 fail of the line and two fifties, befides
frigates, (loops, bombs, and gun-vefrels : nothing
very material took place until ten o'clock on
Thurfday morning (2d April), when the van divi-
fion of our fleet, under the command of Lord NEL-
SON and Admiral GRAVES, commenced the attack
on the enemy's (hips, hulks, pontoons, or floating
batteries, and a number of (mall vefrels, in all
about 24, carrying in general 42 and 24-pounders.
The EDGAR led on, followed by the ARDENT,
ELEPAAMTbLord NELSON'S), GANGES, MONARCH,
BELLONA, EFIANCE (Admiral GRAVES, a very
gallant fellow), Isis, and GLATTON. The BELLO.
NA, PoePPHtwvs,and Russet got a-ground ; the
relt all anchored as they came up ; the remainder
of the fleet under Sir HYDE PARKER, as a (or are
referve, got under weigh, but could not work up
to (hare in the glory of the day. The enemy made
a very obilinate refiftance, and fought like brave
men. I need not inform you that the Englifli did
thelfame ; the action was kept up without a mo-
ment's ceafing for five hours; molt of our Mips
are very much cut up, more efpccially the Den-
aNc I, MONARCH, and Isis our number, killed and
wounded, amounts nearly to moo men. This fe-
vere lofs was much occafioned by the BELLONA
and RUSSF es being afhore, and the Aaawiwsoa
not being able toget up her anchor, which hindered
them from taking their allotted Rations; but our
lofs is nothing comparable to what the Danes have
Mitered ; their killed alone, by accounts (rim the
Danith officers (of whom we have three on board
befides 93 men) mull be near Soon, and the verde
which have been captured are perfeet fieves, there
not being hardly a tingle plank in any of them but
what has at lealt ten (hot-holes in it: in faa, it is
thought to be the hard& fought anion in the an-
nals of hiftory. I forgot to mention, among our
lofs, is that of Captain Moss!, of the MONARCH,
and Captain Riot,, of the AMAZON frigate, with
feveral Officers of diflinguifhed merit. Captain Sir
T. THOMPSON, of the BELLONA, has loft his leg.
Lord Mum's in the ELEPHANT, fought nobly;
really, to endeavour to make comments on his con-
duCt would be impollible, though he unfortunately
at the clofe of the action got aground, as did the
DEVIANCE and DESIREE frigate; however they
all got off by the morning of the 4th. The cap-
tured Danith !hips are one 74, one 64, four two-
decked large hulks, two frigates, and one gun.bat-
tery, four pontoons of 24 guns Lach ; in all thir-
teen "reels, eaclufive of one frigate and a brig
funk, The Danifh Commodore took fire, and
blew up with a tremendous expiation within half
• cable's length of the falltyd A 1.4,11 CA. Several
others of the enemy had alto ruck ; but the wind
favouring them, they made their cfcape on (bore,
where they now remain under the protection of
their batteries. The impediments to the bombard-
ment of Copenhagen are now removes'', and our
bombs are placed fo that, if the Danis are not
(enable of the fituation, the town arfenal may be
very loon reduced to allies. Believe me, my dear
Father, your ever dutiful fon, T. P. ASPERNIO
