Fars the 43d arid sad Light Infantry Regiments, the 92d High-
landers and eittli. or Rifle Corps--under the command of Ma-
jor General Sir ARTHOI Wateeseer, daring an exentfiou
into the interior of Zealand :
On the 27th of Auguft the Referee marched from the lines at
Copenhagen. (having been relieved there by the Genuine), in two
iiivifions : the firß under the command of Sir Arthur in perfon,
eanfitting of five companies of the e3d, the sad and 92d, five cum-
pinks of the 9Sth, two fquadrons of hi:liars, with fix field pieces,
and tome flying artillery of the Legion. The fecond divifion, un-
der Major General Linfengen,eooftßing of five companies of the
43d, be companies of the 95th,a battalion of Getnians, and the
cavalry of the Legion.
After feveral forced marches, we found that the enemy had left
his pofition at Rofkilde, and we returned the fame evening to
Rolkildkra, to prevent the enemy, who was fuppoCed to have gone
to Kioge, from making any attempt upon our troops before Copen •
bagels. This movement of Sir Arthur s divifion brought General
Linfangen upon our right, from having been upon our left.
The troops halted on the following day, snd on the 29th we
marched, at four o'clock in the morning, towards Kioge, where
we found the enemy poited, ready to receive us. Ibe column was
batted, and Sir Arthur communicated with Linfengen's column,
and arranged every thing, fo that he was to come upon the flank
and rear of the town, at the fame moment that we made the attack
is front. We moved forward preeikly at ten o'clock, left in front.
and we formed line, with our left to the lea, about a mile or ra-
ther leis from the enemy. The 924 Highlanders were ordered to
engage the enemy ; the other battalions alto moved on, in eel:el-
len of battalions; fifty paces &Rant, in rear of each other. The
whole moved on in ordinary time.
The 91d went up to the very months of their guns in fuperior
style of Reedit:ere and precilion—charged them—and drove them
at once froin their pofition and camp, fupported by the ocher regi-.
talents ; that regiment was then threatened with a charge from
their cavalry, who were drawn up on the lands, on the left ; bat
their &Sign was fpeedily counteraeled by Sir Arthur's penetration
and decifion, and they alto quickly gave way and left their pofi-
don. The fight then became general The Referee then moved
on, marched in fedlions through the town, and formed upon the
other fide (after pat& g the bridge), by marching in an alignment
right in front, as coolly as we ever did on a field day at ehorneliff
Heights.
Sir Arthur then feat Colonel Napier of the 92d to the left,
with a company of the 95th to purfue a column which had fled
that way, and Sir Arthur followed with the other regiments, the
ire .tcr part to the 'rent. We purfued them from four to five miles,
and t icked up about two hundred of the enemy in the woods. The
defeat was complete. Arms, accoutrements, Ste were thrown
Away by them; fourteen pieces of cannon taken, and about Isoo
prifoners. The killed and wounded amounted to nearly feven
Iluodred, and all this with trivial tots on oar fide. They fired all
their grape fhot , over us. Many bonnets were knocked off,
tuwutees and h Ilbetts broke, belonging to the 924 regiment, and
Lieutenant Colonel I.amont had his harfe (hot. We returned at
ten o'clock that night to Belifberg, near to Wollot Palace • and
next day marched in Ouftoed, having been two days without
stead. I.infengen's divifion did not get up fo loon as was expec-
ted, otherwife the whole would have been taken. Report lays,
their force in their camp and potation wasabout 7000 men.

It was yellerday very currently reported that we
were on the eve of an abfolute rupture with the
American States ;—that. an Order of Council was
figned on Wednefdayy, direaing the Commanders of
his Majetty's (hips of war, Maly to enforce the right
of fearch, as well in regard to feamen as to merchan-
dize ; and that Mr. Moszol was about to take his
departure for America, leaving his Secretary as
Charge d'Affaires. In the laft mentioned fad there
is, we believe, Come truth, but not Rated correaly—
and we fufpeEt this gave rife to the other rumours.
The departure of an Ambaffador, which generally
gives rife to gloomy rumours, isnot at all applicable
to this particular cafe.
Mr. MUNROE has had it in contemplation for a
confiderable time back to refurn to his native coun-
try, ever fince, indeed, Mr. PIN cxm ty was appointed
to fucceed him. But he has, agreeably to the wines
of his Government, remained in this country, prin-
cipally, if not (olely, in order to affifi Mr. PINCRNRT,
in the Degociation of the American treaty. Indeed
he has been for Come months ailing rather as the
auxiliary of Mr. Placer's; than as Envoy of the
American Government. Under all the circumfiances,
therefore, Mr. MONROE'S departure, which is imme-
diately expefted, would rather warrant an oppofite
prefumption to that which was afloat on Change
upon Thurfday and yeflerday.
It has been thought, that if Mr. Jsmasow, as
has been reported, thould decline Randing Candidate
for the office of Prefident,' Mr. Motmog's pretentious
would be favourably received, and this perhaps may
haiku his return home. So great an objet of am-
bition ought not to be indifferent to a good citizen
and to a man of abilities.

Letters from our fleet in the Baltic Rate a fail,
which if true, is far from creditable to the Danifh cha-
roller. That upon a furvey made by our carpenters,
cf the bottoms of the Danifh filips, it was difcovered
that in the bows of 111011 of the Ibips, below water-
mark, a fqnare hole had been cut, into which a piece
of thin deal was neatly infested, but in fo flight a
manner that not one of the (hips could have reached
a Britilb port. If' there be any truth whatever in
this Raters:era, we are willing to acquit the Danifh
Government of any knt.wie,i)..,e of the fait. It will
he neceffary, however, that this fall thould be a.m.
I tained ; for if done with the knowledge or connivance
of the Government, language cannot furnint an epi-
thet to mark the enormity of the crime.—The fol.
lowing is one of the letters' which mentions the cir-
cumflance

RESOLUTION, Copenhagen, Sept. to.

" I was much furprifed to Ii id yetlerday, that -letters, which
we had reafon to fuppofe were on their paffe.ge (at leaf% three days)
tt
were Rill on board a cutter in the roads. Knowing what intereft
this expedition excited, I had written two letters by the c ,
which I have fence received back. We are lying in eight fa as
water, dole to the tremendous Crown Battery, which, it cannot
be elenied,is a wonderful piece of fortification. The Dant& co-
lours are RiU flying on it, and on the fuuthern block (hips. '1 he
Officers are very fanguine in their hopes of the flares being all in
Woolwich in three weeks; if it be. done in fix we flail have no
reafon to complain. The weather is extremely cold, and we ex-
perience much rain. Of the three (hips building in the docks, one
of them is a gallant 80-gun (hip, and is expedted to be completed
in thc fpacc of a month. She is coppered and planked above the
upper deck. To promote difpatch, Lord Cathcart turns into the
dock-yards, to morrow, smiths, carpenters, &c. to the number of
two thoufand ; and I hope they will be enabled to get the new
(hip into the water within the time propofcd. The other (hips on
the Rocks, are to be broken up instantly, and the timber, dte. from
them, to be fent home. Nothing can equal the energy and emu-
lation manifefted by the different crews, in getting the !hips for-
ward. No doubt is entertained but that, from the Rate in which
thc Danith fleet was found, it was getting ready for immediate
fervice, and as little doubt remains how they were to act Their
forward Rate will, in fume meafure, juilify our proceedings. It is
glorious to find that the French have been, for once, over-reached
After all our humanity and candour towards the Danes, I learn
it was their intention to have played us a fcurvy trick ; indeed, I
might call it a treacherous one. All the (hips of war were fecretly
fkuttled ; and but for the timely difeovery, would all have funk at
fea,and their crews have been drowned. How they will be able
to anfwer for this work of iniquity, I am at a lots to guts."
By Come private letters which have been brought
by the IA Gottenburgh Mail, it would teem that
Raffia and Sweden were upon the point of an imme-
diate rupture. While the Kiro of SWEDEN was in
the ifland of Rugen, a Ruffian Chamberlain had ar-
rived. who was confidently reported to be the bearer
of molt important difpatches. It was generally
Elated, and fully believed at Gottenburgh, that the
EMPEROR ALEXANDER had demanded of the KING
of SWEDEN, that he Ihould pledge his royal word,
1 that the Swedifh navy (bould remain in Carlferosta,
and in no event whatever ['lonia a& in concurrence
with the Englifh fleet. The Ruffian Chamberlain,
according to report, was commanded to return with
the abfolute anfwer of the King of Sweden ;--which
anfwer is Rated to have been in fubtlance, that the
King of Sweden, as an Independent Monarch, wss
matter of his own actions ; and that his alliance with
England impofed obligations which he Would have
no fcruple to fulfil when required. If the above be
corrett, a war between England and Ruflia la 'nevi-

gate, but of Ramfgate, Broadilairs, &c. availed
ihensfelves of the mildnefs of chi day, to, attend the
benefit of the Mailer of the Ceremonies at this de-
lightful fpot. Carriages of every kind crowded the
roads leading to it, and fometimes terrified thole who
rode (addle horfes and donkies. About one, the
Garden was full; at which hour, Mr. La Bas, as
nfual, made the final for dancing, which Coon com-
menced, and continued till half pall three with the
greateß vivacity. Though 1,200 perfons paid for
admittance, yet the arrangements were fo excellent,
that every one departed much pleafed with the at-
tendance and amufernents. We are more lively at
relent than we have been during any part of the
feafon...-Melfrs. Die:amuse, Gm, and Dorta, had
a very full attendance at their Concert on Monday
ight. The tinging exceeded expetilation. Mr.
Weimer played three fobs on the pedal harp with
great talk and fcience. Two of our packets came
in this morning, and brought one hundred pailingers.
Two packets alto left us, taking with them only
forty vifitors ; fo that the balance is contiderably in
our favour at prefent, and is likely to continue fo
force time longer.
