EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON BOARD

THE. FLEET.

Rosy, (off Copenhagen) Aug. 22.1807.

" We are now lying within fruit miles of the Crown
Batteries at Copenhagen ; they have no (hips out
except one line of battle fhip in the mouth of the
hat bout, and on:: frigate and three block (hips. Our
army is all landed lately, about 30,000 men ; their
advanced polls are twn miles from the gates ; they
have got a milked battery of ten 24-pounders, and
tine mortar, which 'I underhand is to be opened npan
the enemy this afternoon. We have nothing to do
but with our boats : the enemy made a Cottle the
night before lA, on our out•po(ls, with 2000 men,
in which we had only too, but we drove them back
again and killed feveral : nn our fide we have not as
yet met with any lofs of confequence. The army
took forty waggon loads of ammuniti )n, detlined for
Copenhagen, three nights ago, and yellerday took
fr,utteen more. It is foprofed the bombardment will
take place in the courfe of a few days, and it is not
expelled to hold out long.
" A part of our army, which landed on the back
of Cnrenhagen, (formed a battery of to guns, and
took 960 prifoners without lofs."

" LEITH, SEPT. I.
gt Arrived this evetting the Adive, Wilton, front St. Peter
burghs the Captain left rlfineur on the 16th. He was boarded
by a Mr. Brown, from the Admiral's chip, and informed by him
that the fleet were then getting under weigh to bombard the tow.
but they having a foul wird at S. S. E. to work spina, and a
ftrong current, he thought they could do nothing for two days.--i
The Datil& Government were pre ffing every man in Zealand able
to bear arms. About four weeks ago Captain Wilton was at
Petraburgh, and rays that two days after he left the town, a
Ruffian General, that had been bribed by Bonaparte, bad thrown
himfelf over a bridge and was drowned ; and it was reported that
General Bennigfcn was on his way to England."
“ EDINBURGH, SEPT. r, 'Bey.
" A Hoop has this moment arrived at Leith from St. Peterf-
burgh, left it 4th Auguft. Captain Wi:fon, the Matter, repine,
that when he left St. Peterfburgh every thing looked like war ;
the Englifh were frequently hilted in the Rivets by the Ruffians
that the fpecie that bad arrived from Britain, Lord Cower had or:
dery to be re-fltipped. On his arrival at Elfineur he was not per-
mitted to go alhore ; and at five A. M. on the soh, the fleet all
got under weigh, by fiLmal from the Admiral, both men of war and
tranfports ; that at this time the Dsnifh guard Ihip was coming
into Elfineur Roads, as a prise to a Britifb frigate. The firing that
was beard the preceding day by Capifin Sword, of the Charlotte,
was the fcaling of the guns. Very few Brkifh (hips remained at St.
Pettrilurih when Captain Wilton left it; and hemp freight bad
got up to 61. 6s. per tou."

Govetnment is Paid to have taken up tranrnorts, to
carry between 2 and 3,0c0 tons of ammunition and
other military notes. This quantity is proportioned
to as large a force as the Expedition to tht Bthic.

The Honourable and Reverend Dr. PELHAM was,

Archdeacon of Barntlaple. And on the next day,
his Lordfhip was inflalled Archdeacon, Treafurer,

The letters from the fleet mention, that it was not j
the intention of Lord Car ucaa r to make his final

the final fummons would probabl y be made on the 23d.
The volunteering from the Militia Regiments into

Norfolk Militia, has furnifhed nearly its quota, (260
men), for the ill ( Royals) 9th, and 38:h regiments
Upwards of 200 have already tinned nut, nearly

in a courfe of nearly thirty miles, wi►h only two locks.
The towing paths, bridges, and the rampart, are now

about half a mile from each angle, it is intended to

rake the whole face of the canal to the extent above
mentioned.

the wheel itfelf, an article that. from the fuperiority
of its Ilruaure. hems to have coil a confiderable fuse
of money. The man difregarded the fine, but pleaded
Rrongly to have the implements of his trade returned.

" That cloth fuitaln my houfe; you take my life,
When you do take the means whereby I live."

Ace tcutrue e.—Among the modern improve-
ment. in tarniing, the dairy has, of late years, been
very much neglelled. So much of the profit of
breeders deper,ling upon the facility with which the
milk of the cow may be referred during the fuckling
time of the calf, the following firbilitute, pled in Ger-
many, for the natural food of the young progeny,
may be acceptable to our country Readers :—Let as
much water be healed on the fire as the calf would
be difpofed to drink, and when it boils, throw one
or two handfuls of oatmeal into it, :Ind after remain
ing in that flare for one minute, take it off, and let
it be cooled to the temperature of new milk, when
one or two pints of Ikimmed milk are to be added to
it. With this beverare, the young animal will fatten
and thrive prodigi,urfly, the milk of the pateat will
be applied to the dairy, and the intelligent farmer
will immediately difeover the great advantage to be
derived, in the produce of am dairy, from Inch an
expedient.
