The official account of the unsuccessful attack made
by the Danes upon Anhoh on the 27th ult. will appear
in the Gazette of this evening. The hostile troops
landed in three divisions ; but after an obstinate con-
flict on the Island, were completely defeated in their
attempts to storm the fort and batteries, and obliged
-ta retire with the loss of their Commander, threeotbel
Officers, and fifty men killed on the spot ; and, what
is of more consequence still, as a decisive evidence of
-the fullness of our success, leaving five Captains, nit*
Lieutenants, and FIVE HUNDRED AND FOUR rank a
tire, besides the wounded, in our hands. Three piecai
of artillery, also, five hundred muskets, and sitteen
1 thousand rounds of cartridges, are among our tro-
phiei or useful acquisitions.
When the defeat was completed, and the discom-
fited Danes were retiring, his Majesty's ships the
SRELDRAKE and TARTARluckily arrived in sight. and
attacking the flotilla in its way to the Danish coast,
captured two or three of the gun.boate, together with
some of the transports, and added one hundred and
fifty more to the prisoners who had before surrender-
