GOTTEN B RGH MAIL.

Extract of a Letter from on board the Flora trans-
port lying in Winga Sound, dated April 9
His Majesty's ship Ranger returned here last
night from the Skaw, where the Danish gun-boats
came out, and gave her battle; she had one man
killed, and was much cut up ; her fore-sail was cut
to pieces, and also a great part of her running rig-
ging, and would most undoubtedly have been taken,
if the calm had continued. We muster strong in
Winga Sound ; there are five sail of the line,
Centaur, Sir S. Hood ; Stately, Admiral Bertie ;
Ardent, Captain Honeyman ; Bellerophon and Ma-
jestic ; two sloops, one gun-brig, and a cutter. The
Officers of the Ranger report, that they have received
orders to proceed and take possession of the Danish
island of Anholt."
