SUPPLEMENT TO
SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

DOWNINO.STREET, OCTOBER 31.

/stria of a Difpatch, of which the following is an Extra" that
has been received from Lieutenant General the Right Honourable
Lord Cathcart, K. T. addreffed to the Lord Vifeount Cattle-
reagh, one of his Majefty's Principal Secretaries of State, dated
on board his Majefty's Ship Africaine, Odtober 11, 1207.

As no fort of infraction of the capitulation had
been made by the Danes, who, on the contrary,
aced molt honourably in the itriEt and litetal fulfil-
ment of their engagement ; with a view to the ful-
filment of the articles of the capitulation on our
part, it was decided to c.:mmence the embarkation
of the army on Tueftlay the 13th intim-it.
0 Accordingly, on that day, the eight battalions of
the line of the King's German Legion, were em•
barked in the arfenal ; arid, on the 14. th, the two
light battalions of the King's German Legion, to-
gether with Brigadier General Macfarlane's bri-
gade, viz. the 7th and Bth regiments of Briti(h,
which embarked in the fame (hips which brought
them from Hull. 'nide corps, with the depot and
garrifon company of the Legion, and the fick and
wounded of the army, completely occupied all the
troop 'hips, whether for home or foreign fervice,
which had not been appropriated to the conveyance
of naval dotes. _ _ _

There (hips, having been removed to the Road,
were replaced by the boric !hips.
On the fame day the advanced polls were with
drawn fiom Kolhaven, Werdenberg, Corfoer
Kallenbe►g, Frederick(berg, Het holm, and adja-
cents, and proceeding
.through a chain of Cavalry
Polls, reached the environs of Copenhagen in three
marches. _ _

The embarkation of the royal artillery, with the
field and battering ordnance, having been gradually
carried on from the Kalk anderie, that of the ca-
valry and foreign artillery in the Dock Yard, and
that of the Britith regiments from the Citadel, to the
men of war, there remained on 011ie, on Sunday
afternoon the 18th initant, only the Brigade of
Guards, who moved on that day from the Palace
of Frederickfbcrg, to the Strand near Hellerup, with
.one brigade of Btitifh light at tillery, the flank com-
panies of the 32d and soth regiments, with the 82d
regiment, under Major General Spencer, in the
Arfenal ; and the 4th regiment, with a detachment
of royal artillery in the Citadel, under Lieutenant
Colonel Wynch, who acted as Lieutenant Governor,
the 4th, or King's own Regiment, having been in
garrilon there the whole time.
Lieutenant General Sir George Ludlow was ap-
putti.cd to command the rear guard of the army.

In the evening of the 18th inilant, a gale of wind'
came on which lifted 24 hours, and rendered fur-
ther embarkation impoiEble, and any communica.
don from the more with the Blips very difficult.
As loon as it became evident that the evacuation
of the ,Rand, on the isith, was impraBicable, a cor-
repondence took place between the &kith and Da-
nulls head quarters, the refult of which left no reafon
to apprehend that hoftilities would recommence on
either fide at the expiration of the term, although
the Dana General protefted, in ftrong terms, again 4
our retaining the Citadel, which, on the other hand,
it was not judged expedient to evacuate.
On the aoth the morning was calm, and, as loon
as it was light, the drums of all his Majefty's regi-
meats on fitore beat the General ; and the Dock
Yard and Harbour being entirely cleared of tranf-
ports and Briiith veffels, the corps commanded by
Major General Spencer rowed cut of the Arfenal,
under the guns of the Citadel, and proceeded along
the lhore to Hellerup, to be in readinefs to reinforce
the 'Guards. His Majefty's Hoop Rofamoad having
been alto towed out of the harbour, and the King's
gips within reach of the Three Crown Battery hav-
ing got under weigh, the 4th regiment marched out
of the Citadel, and proceeded to join the Guards,
covered by its own flank companies, and by a piquet
of the Guards.

As loon as they had marched, the bridge was
drawn up, and the. Britiil2 Fort Adjutant was fent to
the Danith head quarters to acquaint the General,
that he was at liberty to fend a guard to take charge
of the Citadel ; accordingly a ftnall detachment of
the royal artillery, and of the 4th regiment, were
relieved by a guard of Danith troops, and the ord-
nance inventories and keys having been given over
to the officers appointed to receive them by Major
Bodecker, the Fort Major, and Captain Patterfon of
the royal artillery, the Britith detachment embarked
with thole officers at the Citadel, and proceeded to
Hellerup.
As loon as the 4th regiment had joined the
Guards, Lieutenant General Sir George Ludlow
began the embarkation, which was completed with
great expedition and regularity.
No troops of the enemy appeared, and there was
no coocourfe of inhabitants. People of all ranks in
the city, in the villages, and on the public road, were
extremely civil. Had any difturbance been intended,
or had any been accidentally excited, the embarka-
tion would have been equally fecure from infult, the
place related being open and level, and out of the
range of fire from the Crown Batter y or Citadel, bur
commanded by his Mikity's light chips of war.
The brow, or nage itfelf, horn which the troops
embarked , WdS jud ictoufly and ingeniouflf contrived
by Sir Home Popham, to anfwer equally the pur-
poles of embarkation and defence.
A !mall veffel, a praam, and a floating battery
were fattened fucceffively to each other on the beach;
the two &It being planked over, and the lan beyond
them having feveral guns of large calibre prepared
for action in an oblique direction, and manned by
feamen. _ _ _ _

Ihe flat boats drew up on the two fides of the
praam, and the gun boats, which alfo received troops,
were placed beyond the floating battery, fo that, as
foon as the brigade of artillery was embarked, the
troops marched to their boats, and the whole put off
to their refpeeive fhips ; after which the floating
battery and praam were deftroyed.
