ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

Th: following is an authentic Copy of the Procla•
mation riiftted by Admiral Gs r 4 aim and Lord CaTH•
CART, upon their landing in Zealand, and alluded to
in Lord CA M., It RACK'S enmmllnicltion tn the Loan
MAYOR. It is an important document, and will be
read with high interell :

eg Whereas the prefent Treaties of Peace, and the
changes of Government and of Territory, acceded
to by fo many Powers, have f► far encreafed the in-
fluence of France on the Continent of Europe, as to
tender it impoffible for Denma►k, though it defires,
to be neutral, to preferve its neutrality, and ;bfo•
lntely neceffary for thole who continue to refill -she
French aggrefEon, to take meafures to prevent the
arms of Neutral Powers from bcing turned agairilt
duns :

•

" In this view, the Rime cannot regard the pre-
fent pofitiun of Denmark with indifference ; and his
MAJESTY *has fent Negociators, with ample powers,
to his Dam ism Maissvv, to requeQ, In the mon arrki.
cable manner, fuch explanations as the times require,
and a concurrence in fuel] meafures, as can alone
give fecurity againil the farther mifchieft which the
French meditate, through the acquifition of the Da-
nith Navy. _ _ _ __ _

64 The KING, our Royal ani mon Gracious MAI
ter, has therefore judged it expedient, to defire the
temporary depth of the Danith (hips of the line, in
une of his MA3E:Ty's ports. _ _ _

" This depofit teems to be fo jail, and fo
penfably need:try, under the relative circumftances
of the Neutral and Belligerent Powers, that his Ma-
jamr has further deemed it a duty to himfelf, and
to his penpll, to fupport this demand by a powerful
fleet, and 14 an army amply fupplied with every
preparation necettary for the molt alive and deter-
mined enterprise. _ _

46 We come, therefore, to your (bores, Inhabitants
of4Gealand ! not as enemies, but in (elf defence, to
prevent thofe who have fo long diflurbed the Peace
of Europe, from compelling the Farce of your Navy
to be turned againll us. •
44 We aik depofit, we have not looked to capture
—fo far from it, the moll folemn pledge has been
offered to your Government, and is hereby renewed
in the Name, and at the Exprefs Command of the
Kim°, our Mallet, that if our demand is amicably
acceded to, every (hip belonging to Denmark, (hall,
at the Cencluflon of a General Peace, be reamed to
her, in the fame condition and bate of cepipment,
as when received under the proteelion of the Britifh
Flag.
44 It is in the power of your Government by a word,
to (heath our (words, moft reltreantly drawn agiinft
you ; but if, on the other hand, the machinations
of France render you deaf to the voice of reafon and
the call of lriendfhip, the innocent blood that will be
fpilt, and the horrcrs of a belieged and a bombarded
capital, muff fall on your own leads, and on thole
of your cruel advifers.
46 His MAJPSTY'S feamen and foldiers, when on
(bore, will treat Zealand, as long as your condo° to
them permits it, on the footing of a province of the
moll friendly Power in alliance with Great Britain,
whole territory has the misfortune to be the theatre
of War.

s' The perfons of all thofe who remain at home,
and who do not take an hoftile part, will be held
facred. Property will be refpaled and preferred, and
the moll fevere difcipline will be enforced.
gi Every article of fupply futnilhed or brought to
market, will be paid for at a fair and fettled price ;
but as immediate and sonfiant fupplies, efpecially of
proviGon, forage, fuel, and tranfports, are neceffary
to all armies, it is well known that requifitions are
unavoidable, and muff be enforced.
" Much convenience will atife to the inhabitants,
and much conft•fiun and lofi to them will be prevent-
ed, if perfuns in authority are found in the feveral
difiries to whom requifitions may be addreffed, and
throngh whom claims for payment may be fettled
and liquidated.
44 If Inch perfons are appointed, and difcharge
their duty, without meddling in matters which do not
concern them, they (hall be refpeeted, and all requi-
fitions [ball be addrelTed to them, through the pro-
per channels, and departments of the Navy and Army
as forbearance on the part of the inhabitants
is effential to the principle of thefe arrangements, it
is neiefTary that all manner of civil perfons fhoold
remain at their refpellive habitationr, and any pea-
fants, or other perfons, found in arms, fingly, or in
(mall troops, or who may be guilty of any as of vio-
lence, mull expea to be treated with rigour.
44 The Government of his Dattiss MAJESTY hav-
ing hitherto refufed to treat this matter in an ami-
cable way, part of the army has been difembarked,
and the whole force has affumed a warlike attitude ;
but it is as yet not too late for the voice of reafon and
triodtration to be heard.
" Given in the Sound. under our Hands and Soils,
this attt day of ALIA, cloy."

GAMBISR, and letters from the fleet, which agree

refittance ; and that they had thrown up works oppo
fire to thole of the Danes; that they had taken 15

have little doubt, if the iof ,rmation be coned that
they have been repulied at all. The heroes of Monte

LORD CATHCART'S DISPATCHES.
41•EMINONIMIMII

This morning at four o'clock, Mr. Hoerr to arrived
at the Foreign Office, with difpatches from Lord
CATHCART : they are dated the 22c1 ult. The rub
(lance of there difpatches we underßand to be as fol
:—Soon after the troops were landed, they ad-
vanced for the purpofe of inverting Copenhagen,
and met with trifling oppofition on their march. A
detachment of the German troops, under the com-
mand of General Derma, attacked and carried the
Royal Foundery, which is fitnated about eight miles
from Copenhagen. It waa defended by a Major and
830 men, all of whom were made prifoners. The
Danes collated a fmall force at a place called Rol:
chart, and appeared for a ()sort time determined to
make a Rand; but upon the approach of our troops
they retreated with precipitation. Some Lan boats
rf the enemy were taro compelled to retreat. Our
hole lots upon there oceafions confifted of two ar.
tillay men, and two Officers, Lientent LYONS and
Enfign Drcason. At the Foundery our troops for k
poffc.ffi ,n of a great number of cannon, and a confi
derable quantity of ammunition.
When the accounts came away Copenhagen was
completely invefled—the batteries were ereFted, and
it was expected that they would open their fire upon
the city the 23d. We underhand that Lord Carle.,
cast was of opinion that the Force under his cow
wand was fufficient to have carried Copenhagen by
affault ; but as it is furrounded by a broad wet Otc),
a number of lives mutt of courfe have been facriL(d
in the attack, and as there was no poffibility of the
place being relieved, his Lordtbip thought it mote
advifeable to proceed in the regular manner. Very
little doubt was entertained that the City would fur.
render in a few days. Indeed a confider able number
of the more wealthy inhabitants, had openly expref.
fed their with that a Capitulation (hould take place.
In order to facilitate the attack on the land fide, it
was determined that the fleet fhould attack the Crown
Batteries, the capture, or the filencing of which,
would enable our yards to be laid dole to the Town
—and we underßand, that before the SWAN cutter,
which brought the difpatches, failed on the morning
of the 233, our (hips had began to cannonade to can-
tonade thefe batteries. After the inveriment of Co.
penhagen, orders were Mired by Lord CATHCART to
ptevent every perfon from quitting the City, except
the Princeffes, who had taken advantage of that per.
minion, and retired, we believe, on the 18.11.
Our troops were all in perfed health, and were
amply fupplied with provilTont. Many of the Coun-
try Gentlemen had agreed to ad under our Commit'
Son as Magiftrates; judicious regulations had been
eltAblithed; fevere difeipline was enforced, in cools-
pence of which the country people brought in their
provifions for fate without hefitat ~n or apprehenfion,
for which they were pundually paid.

A Embargo, it is laid, has been laid on all (hips
and veffels, in Britifh harbours, bound to the Baltic.
A letter from a perfun high in command on board
the fleet now in the Baltic, dated the sill ult. Rates,
that they were then preparing gun and mortar batte-
ries in the rear of the Crown Batteries of Copenha-
gen; that a general meeting of the commanding land
and lea 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 the Mars, dated 22d Augull, 6 o'clock, P. M.
lays, that General BAIRD'S Brigade was the firft that
landed, Sir AeRTHUR WILLISLRY'S the fecund, and
General Sramcsa's the third : that on the 19th there
was Come fleirmiffiing, in which the Danes 101 l about
forty men, and we alfe a few ; and that, at the mo-
ment of writing, there was tome hard fighting---the
Danes difputing every inch of ground, but retreating.
The Trorps that landed at Wiffieck, ten miles
North of Copenhagen, were the Troops that were
embarked in the Downs. Tl'e German Legion,
from Stralfund, which was off Moon Ifland on the
lath ult. proceeded without delay to the Northward,
a d, on the 16th, anchored in Keoge Bay.

The Danes, according to other letters, have taken
sway all the land and fea marks near Copenhagen,
►y which means one our frigates (we believe the Sur-
vollante) got aground near Drago, but by lighten-
ing her of fome her guns, and Raving her water, fhe
vss gut off without much damage. In failing near
Copenhagen, fome of our line of battle (hips have
totched the wrecks of fume of the veffels deftroyed
it Lord Ns 'Ames attack.

On F;iday loft, R. G. LASAUX. Efq. one of the
Coroners tot Kent, in confequence of an information
itnt him from the Admiralty, ailed his warrant for
I.king up the body of William Thompfon, fon of Mr.
W. Thompfon, a pilot, at Deal, who was foppofed
to have died from a wound he received in the late
affray between Tome revenue officers and fmugglers
in the neighbourhood of Deal, and was buried at
Should", near that place, without an inqueft having
been held. An inqueft was taken on the body the
fene day, when the Jury returned their verdict—
" Apparently killed by a mufket ball." The Jury
waited about five hours, whilft the contlable, under
a warrant from the Coroner, afitted by two police
fficers from Bow.ftreet, endeavoured to apprehend
a Perfnn alledged to be a material witnefs, and who
had been duly fuasmoned to give evidence ; but not•
s4ithttanding the molt vigilant fearch made through
"ma of Deal and neighbourhood, he could not
be difcovered4

SHEFFIELD. SEPT. I.

A Gentleman in this town has received the fol.
lowing letter from his Correfpondent at Ho :

" HULL, AUGUST 29.

41 We find there has been dreadful work at Copen-
hagen before the place furrendered ; what will be
the confequence no one knows, we hope that the re-
fult will be favourable to trade. The late flips bound
to Tonningen are fill in the Humber, and we fup-
pole will be ordered up again : this, however, will
be better known in a few days."
