tXPEDITION TO THE BALTIC.

We :teed ye lerday, that intelligence had at lin
eet) reCe'vld if Admiral Gataarstes operations,
and detailee I:• reports on that fubjea, which had
been .7ol!efted by the Auckland packet, on her pal.
(age to Harui:h.
The folk a g is a mote ample flaternent of the
, tec.,ents alluded tn, being the jlurnal brought by a
Ger. Ferran arr;ved in the packet from Gottenburgh:
" Sa:led from Gottenburgh, in the Auckland packet
C 4 ain BAIDC:I, Saturday morning, three o'clock,
apt: the afternoon of the fame day (poke
`a Captain of a Bvredilh brig, who informed us that
an a/lion had taken place on Thurfday, between the
Danith cattle and the Britith fleet lying at Ellineur.
" Sund7 y morning, fell in with an Englifla brig, the
Edmund, of Yarmouth, from Stockholm, bound for
Liverpool, about half down the Sleive. The Captain
ir',ormed us that the Danifh guard(hip, of 44 guns,
had that morning been captured by two frigates, off
the Scaw ; that the transports, with Englifh troops,
had orders nn Wednelday evening, the day the
Edmund left the Sound, to keep clear of the (hot of
theCaftle ; and, as four (hips of war were moored
in aline of battle off the Cattle, it was generally ex•
peeled that an engagement would take place the fol-
lowing day. The Captain of the Edmund had orders
from the men of war's boats to proceed immediately,
and not wait for convoy.

1, Monday, 6 o'Clcck, Morning, fell in with the
Agamemnon, Captain Ross, about 17 leagues dif-
tant from die Scaw, with (even tranfports under
convoy. As the wind continued fair for them, they
would reach the Call on the following Wednefday
evening, or Tivitfday morning."
Af:er we had given an abflrafl of the above jour•
nal in our paper of yeflerday, it was reported at the
Admiralty, that difpatches from Admiral Gsmatst
had been received, announcing " that the bombard-
imentof Copenhagen commenced on Sunday the 16th,

and that the city had forrendered to the Britifh on
Monday the 17th." The fiatemast refpating the
aitpatches feems, however, to have been premature ;
attlthe report probably arofe from the cornmunica-
tics at the Admiralty of the contents of a private
leter from General MACFARLANE, who c,bmman•
ded die troops that lately failed from Hull, under
e^o►ny of the AGAMEMNON, which is dated from off
the Scaw, on the 16th inflant.—The General Bates,
that on that day a Swedilh vein', bound to Liver•
nI, paired through this divifion of the expedition,
and informed the General, that our forcer were then
Initarding t;openharn; that the troops were landed, and
that all was going on very well.

This is the whole of the letter from General Mac.
FARLAINE, and the only intelligence which has
rtaehetl Government. The letter, however, is not
ItMciAl, but to an Officer in town.

That the Danes have oppofed an obflinate refifi-
Var to our forces, we are well Allred ; but we are
vithout hopes that their ntmoft efforts have
prised ineffeaual, and that the firft grand ()Nat of
our Expedition, has been hilly accomplilhed, though
ac fear with no inconflierable lots. VT have good
ttim to believe that this great achievement was not
tfreaed bcro:2 the 17th, the day ab"ve reported.
Up to the 15:h, v,e know the alTault had not been
rude. The account.• from Holland bring intelligence
irnm Copenhagen down to that date, at which time
tle Danes Were centinning their hOitile preparations
with the lIGTIOa aftivity, and ALL THE ENGLISH IN
OtEMARE HAD BEEN ARRESTED, AND THEIR. PILO
7illTr SEIZED.

The Extraordinary Rotterdam Courant, of the 22d,
ccntains the fnllowing important article

" ALTONA, AUG. a 8
The Dane: are preparlrg to defend Copenhagen, and a war
-•:th Eng'and is inevitable. Nothing was done up to the 15th by
'',Entialt againft Zealand. ALL THE ENCLISU IN DENMARK
kVL MN ARRE:YEED, AND THEIR ruorzair TAKEN POSSCE•

Of this event, we are inclined to think that Mini.
`erthad previnufly received pofitive advice. The
iris& of bottling, it is therefore clear, was corn-
bitted by Denmark ; and Government have iffued
clasfor dttaining all Danyk vekr in our port:, and for
"iliag in all fiip: and /.!fflis of that chfcription that may
set With at fea by cur emitter:.
This order has already been very generally ailed
41)'.n, and a number of Dann veffejs have been farce
(ittsined in el;fferert direetions.
On enqt3;: r, ssi:en this paper was put to prefs, co
lccoonisbf a later date than thofe we have flated had
been received by Government ; nor had there been
I[7 arrivals at Yarmouth yefierdiy afternoon when
e Mad cane away, as will appear by the follow-
't letter

fired a great number of rounds each, and with gond
effect.

On the arrival of the Marquis of Aaesenan at
Baron's Court, the town of Straban, which is part
of his Lordfhip's nate, and from which he takes
his IriCh title of Vifcount, was brilliantly illuminated;
it a place of great trade, and his Lnrd(hip was
the means of forming a Canal from thence to Lon•
donderry, to which work he was a ♦ery liberal con-
tributor.

At the fall Affixes it Warwick, James Herfon, of
Fillongley, in that county, carpenter, was tried before
Mr. Justice La &atm, upon an indi&rnent preferred
agamll him at the Summer Affixes, 18c6, on the pro-
fecution of Mr. William Cooke, fur marrying his
daughter, then under the age of 16 years, without
his content, and found Guilty ; but the fentence was
refpited till the next Affixes. This profecution was
founded upon a very falutary, though antient Ae of
Parliament, made for the protelion and Cecurity of
thoughtlefs and unfufpeaing females.

At the Affixes for the county of Lancafter, a caofe
was tried before Mr. Baron Wood, and a Spacial
Jury, which created confiderable intereft from the
novelty of the circumflances attending it.—Thomas
Carill Woifley, Efq. of Platt, was plaintiff, and one
James Hulme, and others, were defendants. It ap-
peared that Mr. Wortley was the owners of two
dwelling houfes, in Smithy Door in Manchetier,
which had been for fume time untenanted, and on
tale ; that a few muaths ago, the defendant, Hulme,
borrowed the keys from Mr. Barret, the plaintiff's
Agent, under pretence of looking at the premifes
on behalf of a purchafer, and prt.mifed to return
them immediately ; but indeed of which he kept
the keys, and whilft Mr. Barrett was abfcnt on bu-
finds in London, the defendant Hulme, convened
the premifes into five flow., and let them to as many
tenants, at rents amounting to nearly two hundred
pounds per annum, and retitled to give up the poffef.
fion. The defence attempted to be fet up was, that
the plaintiff's agent had granted Hulme a leafe of the
premifes ; and the defendant's attorney alfo gave the
plaintiff notice to produce his title on trial, which the
plaintiff was prepared to have made out in the cleareft
manner, fupported by fines and rec,:veries for up-
wards of too years back.—After a frill examination
of the plaintiff's agent, the defendant's Counfel de-
clared the mfelves alba med of the caufe, and threw up
their briefs without calling witneffes, of which they
had a confiderable number. The Learned Judge
was (truck with aflonithment and indignation at
the audacity of the treipafs and defence, declaring
that it Cu.-paired all that he had ever heard or wit-
neifed, and recommended the Jury to give exempla-
racy damages, to prevent the repetition of a fimilar
offence. The Jury immediately gave a verdia for
Soot. the full damages laid in the plaintiff's declara-
tion, and colts, and regretted it was not in their
power to give a larger sum. There were two other
affirms at the fait r.f Mr. Wortley, againft two other
trefpaffers, upon the fame premises, in each of which
the Jury gave the like damages.
