The Dock-Yard, April 3, iBor."

COPENHAGEN, APRIL 7.—The refult of the
battle of the zd has encreafed the courage of our
warriors, and of the whole nation, and, in cafe
of neceffity, every one is ready to renew the con-
flia in defence of his King and Country. Orders
have been given, that, on the fiat alarm, every
one than repair to his poll, and the nee( ffary ar-
rangements are made for extinguifhing the flames
that might be the confequence of a bombardment.
There are ten (hips of the line in our harbour,
lately fitted out, and in the ben condition, betide
which feveral frefh meafures of defence have been
carried into execution, during the armiflice. ' The
Engliffi are at prefent employed with butning the
wrecks of thole (hips which were left by our war-
riors, when they could no longer make ufe of
their guns. The (Ingle traits of peifonal bravery,
on the zd inn. were numerous. One of our (hips,
among others, was driven to the fan extremity,
and its commander killed. The Prince Royal,
who was in the dock-yard, anted, whether any
body would venture to convey men on board, and
take the command, when a penfioned officer,
SCHRODERSEE, immediately ilepped forward, went
on board of a (mall veffel, with a number of men,
with whom he reached the (hip, but he had fcarcely
afcended tl:e Reps, when a cannon-ball carried off
him and three of his people.
The Swedifh Counter-Admiral CRONSTEDT is lbll
here. Baron LAOERBJELKE, who had accompani-
ed the King of Sweden on his travels, was dif-
patched from Landfcrona, on the 3d inflant, for
this city, to inform our Prince Royal, that his
Swedifl. Majelly had given mon pofitive ordersl
for the fquadron of Carlfcrona, confining of 7 fail
of the line an three frigates, to fail from Carlf-
crona on the 3RE of March, and that they would
be left entirely to the difpofition of his Royal
Highnefs. On the 4th init. Baron LAGERIEIREKE
had a conference with the Mininer of the French
Republic, Citizen BOURGOIN o, the fubjea of which
is laid to have been the renoration oithe political
relations between Sweden and France. On the
fame day, Baron LACERSJELIER had a long con-
ference with Count BERNSTORT, after which he
departed for C.arlfcrona. If the wind Ihould not
be unfavourable, we may tripe& the Swedifh fleet
every day. The fleet from Revel is alfo Paid to
be in our neighbourhood. On account of the
Englifh fleet, the lights have been extinguifhed
along the fouthern coati of Sweden and the Sheers.
The day before yefterday, a number of our
brave warriors, killed in the bank of the ad inn.
were buried with great folemnity. The boar
guard of the Prince Royal, with its Chief, feveral
dm i ral s, Naval Offi cers,Cle rg y men, and a number
of other perfons walked in the proceffion, through
the city, to The Naval Burying-ground, where the
noble :clefecders of their King and Country were
interred. A dirge, eompofed by three of our beR
poets, lung, before-, during, and after the cere-
mony, heightened the folemnity of the Funeral,
after which five yotmg Women bellrewed the
tombs with flowers. Hi...-Majeny has appointed
a Coniniittce for invenigating the circusnliances,
•and enquiring into the number of the wounded,
and widows and orphans cif the Rain, in the battle
of the 2d, who are likewife to receive the very
liberal fubfcriptions made for the relief of thole
vale, and to make pmpofals for their fupport.
Royal Family reticle at Rofenburg, except
the Prince Royal, who remains at Ameliaborg,

There is Rill but one voice here : a We will

ELSINEDR, APRIL 4.—The ad of April WaS a
glorious day for the Danes : it was bloody, and is
unexampled in the annals of naval hiltory, Four
Danifn block veffels, one frigate, and three or four
gun-boats, the fouthern diviiion of the outer liiie
of defence near Copenhagen, fuftained a dreadful
engagement with 3o Englifh !hips, of different
fixes, for more than four hours, and defended them-
felves to the laft. The block-velfel Provelieen,
Capt. Lasses, who has particularly diftingnifhed
himfelf, was engaged by four Englifh (hips of the
line at once, who were relieved by four others, but
Capt. Lasses held out till he had only ten men
and two guns left, which he hiked, and fwam on
%bore. Anotherblock-velfel was Get on fire by the
few men that remained of the crew, and blew up,
the men having !warn afhore. in like manner all
the other (hips were defended. We have about
tOOO men killed, wounded, and taken prifoners,
but the Englifh have fuffered Rill more. -The
fouthern divation of the outer line of defence has
been deftroyed, And one block-(hip and four gun-
boats have been carried off by the Englifh ; but
Admiral NELSON'S (hip and four others, that were
(kill aground yefterday morning, are in a (hocking
condition. It is Paid, thatfeven Englifh fillips of the
line were fo much damaged, as to be totally unfit
for fervice, and many of the others that were in the
aEtion, cannot fail further, without being repaired.
The divifionl of Admiral PARKER, ten or eleven
(hips, were not in the a&ion, not being able to
come up. The report that all merchant veffels,
bound for England, lhould be detained, is not con-
firmed. Several !hips laden with wheat, for that
country, have continued their voyage. Two Eng-
lith (hips, that arrived yefterday from the North
Sea (tate, that they have not feen an Englifh fleet
in the Cattegat, but that only two frigates are
cruising near Kullen.
HAMBLIRGH, APRIL to—Had the news of the
Emperor PAUL'S death reached this place a few
days fooner, it is highly probable that the bloody
aftion .fought near Copenhagen, would not have
taken place.
The meafure ordered by the Prince of HESSE
for giving an account of Englifh property here,
and-of the debts due to the inhabitants by Eng-
land, has been farther deferred by public notice affix-
ed on 'Change. The City of Hamburgh pays at
prefent 6300 marks Innen for the fupport of the
Danith troops. It is confidently Rated that the
Pruffians will occupy the country of Mecklenburg,
and that a compenfation is to be given to the
Dukes in another quarter.
We learn by letters from Memel of the 3d that
the Emperor ALEXANDER has already given or-
ders for taking off the embargo laid upon the Bri-
tifh (hipping as well as for &farming his own
fleets.

Letters from Copenhagen, received this evening,
mention that the capital is almolt deferted, under
the apprehenfion of a bombardment, for which
fome preparations feemed to be making on board
the Britilb fleet, which had taken a potation much
more advantageous than what it held "when the
lafl bloody aftion was fought.
As loon as the fire of the Danes was filenced,
the Hero of Aboukir, with that humanity which
is fo congenial to true heroifm, fent a flag of truce
on &ore with a letter to the following laconic
purport :-
44 rtlit mays ENGLISA TO THEIR BRETHREN THE
lIRLVE DANES."

" I am now in poffeflion of the batteries ' • and
wifhing to flop any farther efftifion of blood, I
confent to a fnfpenfion oflinftilities. NELSON."
The Pa aes ROTA Adjutant-General being
fent on board his Lordfhip's fleet to learn the con-
ditions of a truce, the Admiral informed him that
he would deem that day one of the happieft of his
life on which he fhould fee the good underfland-
ing between Great Britain and Denmark rellored:
but that all further negociations muff be carried
on with Sir HYDE PARKER, as Chief Commanding
Admiral. A flag of truce being fent to Sir HYDE'
PAILKER, he delivered his terms, adding, that fince
it was rather late in the evening, it would be time
enough to fend an anfwer in the morning. The
Adjutant afking "By what timer' Sir HYDE
r
rep d , any time you like."
The Council of State fat till pan one in the
morning of the 31ft, and met again half pall five
A. M. In this latter fitting, the Danifli Minifiers
had a long conference with the Ruffian and Pruf.
flan Minitfers. The Adjutant-General LINDHOLM
returned with a preliminary anfwer to Sir Hyor.
PARKER, who faid, that it would be better to con-
tinue the negociations verbally ; ary as he was not
well himfelf, he would fend Admiral Lord NEL-
SON on fhore for the purpofe to confer with the
PRINCE ROYAL only. His Lordfhip carne on fhore
accordingly in the afternoon, and opened negocia.
tions, from which great hopes of thee& are en-
tertained. NELSON, on landing, Paid to General
LiNoNoLai, that the French had fought bravely,
but that they could not have filftained more than
lime hour fuck a fire as the Danes InflaMed for
i four hours. " I have," added he, "in the courfg
of my life, been in 105 engagements ; but that to-
day, was the moll terrible of all."
The Englilh have landed their wounded on the
Ifle of Hum.

Since the altion before Copenhagen on the ad
init. the Prince of He& behaves much politer with
his troops to the Citizens of Hamburgh, and ♦ery
few Danifh fokliers are permitted to walk in the
town. He has alto ceafed to ezaft •iauals and
fpirks for his men from the perfons upon whom
they are quartered in the neighbourhood.
Mr. Pircata if, the American Conful, has pro.
telted againft the pulling up the buoys in the Elbe,
and declares, that he confiders the Danifh Go-
♦ernment as accountable for every lofs which
American fhips may fuflain in confequence. This
fpirited application has, it is laid, had the defired

ult. give the beR hopes of the pacific difpolition of
the new Emperor AL' XA or IL, who has already
created a great revolution in the fentiments and

Lauenburg, will be occupied by Prufilan trot:
It is faid, that leveret other places and dittrif,, .

that the new EMPEROR of Russia will maint..:7
the engagements with the Northern Powers, rt.
fpeaing the convention of neutrality, hut th:.l
negotiations will take placer in order to fet.: the
hutinefs without further bloodfhed.

LAUENBURG, APRIL 9.—The Duchy of Sate.
Lauenburg is not to be occupied by Danifii, h':t by
Prullian troops, fince, by virtue of the conl eniine
