The Declaration of his Majefty refpeaing the late
attack upon Denmark will be read with much intereft.
—The arguments it exhibits are exaaly fuch as have
been fuggefted by the public. All parties are agreed
that the cafe was a hard one refpeaing the Danes, as
alto that nothing but the molt urgent neceffity could
juftify the meafures adopted by this country. To
the latter point the declaration is chiefly confined,—
Government had pofitive information of the intention
of France to occupy HoMein, and it was not to be
doubted that the feizure of the Dui& fleet would
have followed.

The concluding paragraph of the Declaration
hints at the poffibility of hollilities being continned
between Denmark and Britain. 64 It Rill rooming
for Denmark to determine whether war than conti-
nue between the two nations r —lndeed if we may
credit Come who poirefs the bell means of being cor•
rally informed on the fubjeft, it is by no means cer-
tain that a good underltanding will be fpeedily re-
ftored between the two Powers. It is even Paid that
erders have been fent out to out Commanders in the
Baltic not to abandon Copenhagen till the points
fill at iffue flail have been fettled.

Difpatches were this morning received from Monte
Videq, brought by the PHEASANT, of tEI guns, ar•
rived at Plymouth. We have not been able to learn
that tbefe clifpatches bring any thing farther than
duplicates of thofe which have already been made
public. At the time the PHEASANT failed, on the
sath of Juty laR, the Bridal troops in that quarter
were about to embark. Several officers of the army
came horn• paffengers in the PHEASANT ; among
whom are Colonel PARKS, Colonel STUART, Captain
DAMPIER, and Captain COCKBURN.

The private letters brought by this conveyance
are not of a nature to leffen the diiratisfaelion excited
by the accounts formerly received. That our arms
have been difgraced in South America, all the mi-
litary men are agreed ; but they cannot agree to
whom the blame fhould be imputed. It now appears
that the attacking army had
_five hammers (not one
more), with which to attack the barricaded houfcs in
Buenos Ayres!

By the Lifbon Mail, we received the Madrid Gazette
to the 25th ult. • The seal of the native population
of South America to affil the Spanifh force in refill-
ing our troops is very oftentatioufly blazoned forth.
It is Rated that ten Caciques, who are Indian chiefs,
waited upon the Government of Buenos Ayres,'
offering to bring forward ao,ooo men, with Immo
horfes, I. to fight (as they termed it) againft the Red
Coats." The reception they met with is very minutely
detailed, including of cootie an alfurance of grati-
tude from the Government, accompanied by an ex-
preffion of confidence, that their aid was unneceffary,
as fuels a difpofition was made, which the refult un-
fortunately proves, as would be quite fofficient to re-
pel and overthrow the enemy. It is added, that five
other Caciques had afterwards waited upon the Spa-
niih Commander with the offer of to,ooo auxiliaries,
and met with a fimilar reception.
Whether tilde ilatements were introduced into the
Madrid Gazette with a view to induce an idea of the
popularity of the Spsnint Government in South
America, and thus to damp any expectation cf foe-
eefs in that quarter, we fhall not attempt to inquire.
Indeed, the event which has fince occurred at Buenos
Ayres renders that inquiry quite unneceffary. It
was or:known in Spain or Portugal. that our troopi
had failed at Buenos Ayres.
The Matitid Gazette contains alto a letter, ex-
trailed from a paper puhlified at Buenos Ayres,
under the title of The Puhlkille. This letter is fun
'Of cenfure t f the conduel of General Batt imam
Of the charges we have already given a (peones.

- GIBRALTAR, AUGUST :5.

" The Madrid Gazettes and the Journals have
heft paragraphs upon the failure of a third attempt
by our troops upon Rufetta, and the confequent eva-
cuation of Egypt. By comparing the dates with
that of the lateß intelligence from Malta, it will be
immediately perceived that thole accounts cannot be
correft.

" By the lateft accounts from Algiers, we learn that
a treaty has been concluded with the Regency of
that country, by which the exclusive right of the trade
of the ports of Bona, La Cala, and II Col. has been
ceded to the Britifh. for the exportation of hides,
wool, wax, and 7Soo fanaques of wheat annually.
" The Dey has alto ceded the coral finery on the
coact, to the Englifh.

packet, in thirteen days pillage from England, with
the mail for • July.
eg AUG. 22.—This morning a Spanith convoy ar-
rived at Algefiras, from Cadiz. under the protection
of two armed fchooners and three gun boats. It was
expelled by many that Come attempt would be made
to intercept them, as it is well known that a large
train of fiege artillery is hourly expelled to arrive
from Cadiz to the Spanith lines.
ee The Spann troops in the neighbourhood of
this garrifon are under orders to march for Portugal
at a moment's notice.

At/Gurr 23.—Lafk night the Princefs Eliza-
beth packet arrived here, in twenty days from Malta,
with the mails for this place and England. She
brings letters alto from Alexandria of the sad of June,
at which time every thing was quiet there, and the
garrifon was plentifully fupplied with all kinds of
provifions. Our prifoners were all well at Cairo, and
experienced good treatment, though it was generally
fuppofed that they would not be given up by the
Turks without a ranfom.

44 This morning ►he Intrepid, Captain Woos °us',

carry the tenth Regiment, from this to Sicily. Ge

Intrepid, on their way to England.
41 Auotrsr a6.—Our accounts from Spain (late,
that a large French army had already entered that
country, on their way to Portugal. Many Spanifb
regiments are alto ordered to be in readinefs to march
for Portugal, from this neighbourhood, who are foon
expelled to be replaced by French regiments."

Captain WRITE, of the Navy, arrived at the Ad-
miralty lel night, at nine o'clock, with difpatches
from Admiral BERKELEY, on the American Ration.
The nature of thefe difpatches we did not learn, but
it is not probable that in the prefent cireumnances
they eau be of much importance. The differences
between this country and the United States, are at
prefent merely matter of negotiation, and the ulti-
mate refolt is to be expeded more from the determi-
nation of our Court, than from any intelligence
from a foreign Ration. The precife demands of the
American Government, though report has attempted
to defcribe them, are as yet, we believe, not very
well known, and his MAJESTY's Minillers have not
yet corn• to any definite refolution. Mr. Momaou
waits for the anfwer of our Government, and will
fail immediately, it is fuppofed, on obtaining it.—
From the prefent temper of the two Governments, it
is not likely that a war will take place, if it can poll•
bly be avoided. We have no doubt, however, that
his MAJESTY'S prefent Minifiers polka firmnefs
enough to prevent any compromife either of the ho-
nour or interells of this country.
We have been favoured with the following extra&
of a Letter from Malaga. The American Executive
Power appears to have been early apprehenfive, that
the late occurrences at the mouth of the Ckefapeak
might lead to a decifive rupture, and to have 101 l no

itituthan frigate,of her Officers, and of thole of a brig of war which
accompanies her. Nothing more of the buenefs has tranfpired ;
hut the fchooner that brought the difpatches proceeded immedi-

STATE PAPER.

• ►. DECI.ARA I lON OF THE KING.

V'ettminft,r, Sept. 25, iB:7.
His MAJISTY owes to hiinfrlf, and to Eutope,
a frank captition of the inotives vshich have diaated

hislate meatuses in the Baltic.

Hia MAJESTY has delayed this exporninn only in
the hope of,that more amicable arrangement with
the Court of Denmark which•it was his Majssry's

firfl with and endeavcor to obtain—for which he was
ready to mike great efforts and great facrificeF; and
of which he never lon fight, evcn in the moment of
the moll decifive hotlility.

Deeply as the difappointment of this hope has I
been felt by his MAJESTY, he has the confolation of
refle6ling that no exertion was left nroried on his part
to produce a different refult. And while he laments 1
the cruel necellity which has obliged him to have
recourfe to aas of hollility againft a nation with
which it was his MAJESTY'S moll earneft defile to
have eftabli(hed the relaticns of common intereff and
alliance; his MAJESTY feels confident that, in the eyes I
of Europe and of the World, the jrtflification of his I
tondua will be found in the commanding and indif- '
penfable duty, paramount to all others, amonia the
obligations of a Sovereign, of providing, while
there was yet time, for the immediate fecurity of his
people.
His MAJESTY had received the moll pofitive infor-
mation of the determination of the prefent Ruler
of France to occupy, with a military force, the ter-
ritory of Holftein—for the purport of excluding
Great Britain from all' her accultnmed channels of
communication with the Continent ; of inducing or
compelling the Court of Denmark to dole the paffage
of the Sound againff the Britifh commerce and na-
vigation;. and of availing himfelf of the aid of the
Dana Matine for the Invaficn of Great Britain and
of Ireland.

Confident as his MAJESTY Was of the authenticity
of the fources from which this intelligence was de-
rived, and confirmed in the credit which he gave to
it, as well by the notorious and repeated declarations
of the Enemy, and by his recent occupation of the
towns and territories of other neutral States, as by
the preparations a&ually made for collating a hoßile
force upon the frontiers of his D.tnifh Msielly's
Continental dominions, his MAJESTY would yet
wil-
lingly have forborne to a&upon this intelligence, until
the complete and praakal difelofure of the plan had
made manifeß to all the world .the abfolutc neceffity
of refining it. _

His MA'AM' did forbear, as long as there could
be a doubt of. the urgency of the danger, or a hope
of an effednal counteradiou to it, in the means or in
the difpofitions of Denmark.
But his Malssry could not but recoiled thskt,
whey, at the dole of the Former war, the Court of
Denmark engaged in a, hoftile confederacy againn
Great Britain, the apology offered by that Court for
fo unjuflifiable an abandonment of a rieutrality which
his Majtsvy had never ceafed to relped, was fcunded

on its avowed inability to refill the operation of ex-
ternal influence, ar.d the threats of a formidable
neighbouring Power. His Matissvy could not but
compare the degree of influence, wbich at that time
determined the decifion of the Court of Denmark, in
violation of pofitive engagements, folemnly con-,
traded but fix months before, with the increafed ope-
ration which France had now the means of giving to I
the fame principle of iptimidation, with kingdoms
proflrate at her feet, and with the population of na-
tions under her banners.
Nor was the danger lets imminent than certain.
Already the army defined fox the Invafion of Hol.
Qein was affembling on the violated territory of neu-
tral Hamburg): : and, Holflein twee occupied, the
Ifland of Zealand was at the mercy of France, and
the Navy of Denmark at her difpufgl.
It is true, a Britilh force might have found its
way into the Baltic, and checked for a time the move
menus of the Dana's marine. But the feafon was
approaching when that precaution would no longer
have availed, and when his MAJESTY'S Fleet midi'
have retired horn that tea, and permitted France, in
uneiflurbed fecuricy, to accumulate the means of
offence againft his MAjibTlell dmninions.
Yet even under thele circurnflances, in calling upon
Denmark for the !ilia-al:lion and fecurity which his
MAJESTY was compelled to require, and in deman-
ding the only pledge by which that festivity could be
rendered tffeltual—the temporary pothflion of that
fleet, which was the chief inducement to France for
forcing Denmark into hofilities with Great Britain &
his Mk; a STY accompanied this demand with the offet
of, every condition which could tend to reconcile it
to the humus and to the feelings of the Court of
Denmar k.
It was for Denmark herfelf to hate the terms and li
ftipulations which the might require.
If Denmark wasapprehtnfive that the forrinder
of her fleet would- be relented by France as an sit of
connivance, 14,1,s► Atjarrir bad prepared a forie of
fuch fOrMi,dable magnitude, as mull have made son-
ceffion juftifiable even in the eftimation of Trance,
by rendering refiflance altogether unavailing.
If Denmark was really prepared to, refill the de-
mands of France, and to maintain her independince,
his Blaiairy 'proffered his co-operation for hei de
fence—naval, military, and pecuaiary Aid, the' pa • t

rantee of her European territories, and the fecurity
and extenfron of her colonial pofreflions.

That the fword has been drawn in the execution of
a fervice indifpenfable to the Gray of his MAJESTY'S
dominions, is matter of fincere and painful regret
to his-MAJESTY. That the Hate and circumftances
of the world are fuch as to have required and juftified
the meafures of Pelf prefervation, to which his Ma-
i kaTY has found Mini& under the neceflity of retort-
ing, is a truth which his MAJESTY deeply deplores,
but for which he is in no degree refpnntible.
His MAJESTY has long carried on a moil unequal
conteft, of fcrupulous forbearance againft unrelenting
Alolence and oppreflion. But that forbearance has its
bounds. When the defign was openly avowed, and
already but too far advanced towards its accomplith.
merit, of fubjeding the Powers of Europe to one
univerfalufurpation, and of combining them by terror
or by force in a confederacy againft the maritime
rights and political exillecce of this kingdom, it
became neerffary for his MA) &STY to anticipate the
fuccefs of a fyftem, not snore fatal to his inters&
than to thufe of the Powers who were defined to be
I the infiruments of is execution.
It was time that the effects of that dread which
France bas infpiired into the Nations of the World,
&fluid be counteraded by an exertion of the power
of Great Britain, called for by the exigency of the
crifis, and proportioned to the magnitude of the
danger.
Notwithaanding the declaration of war on the
part of the Daniih Government, it Hill remains for
Denmark to determine, whether war (hall conti-
nue between the two nations. His MAJESTY fill
proffers an amicable arrangement. He is anxious
to fheathe the Avoid, which he has been mon reluc-
tantly compelled to draw. And he is ready to
demotiftrate to Denman k and to the world, that, hav-
ing a.led folely upon the fence of what was due• to
the fccurity of his own dominions, be is not defirous,
from any other motive, or for any object of advan-
tage or aggrandifement, to cart y nneafttres of holtdity
beyond the limits of the neceWty which bas produced
them.
