We are happy to find, however, that the Danes
are determined to retift the invader. May fuccefs
attend the efforts of " our brave brothers in arms I"
and the next time the Danes and Britith meet, may it
be in'the fame caufe, and to punifh the fcourge of
the human ace. The following is the letter an•
nouncing the fears at Copenhagen. We Gull be
anxious till we receive farther account&,:

'• GOTHLNIII7IIOII. DEC. 19.

" Very ferions apprehenfions are now entertained
" at Copenhagen of a vifit from the French dating
" the winter, and every preparation is making to
" oppofe them. The Czowri Ptimcs has exprec.,
" his conviCtion of an attack being made, and
" been heard to declare, that If they do invade Den.
" mari, it
,/ball ,e over the dead bodies of him:Jiff and
" countrymen !"

It will occur to our readers, that as the capital of
the Denial States hands in an Hand, it can only be
invaded by lea; but as the CH it r Comsct has had the
fprefumption to'ffippole that Great Britain, the firft
garititne power in the World, can be conquered by
run boats, be no doubt conceives that Each a feeble
ountry as Denmark, will fall a much eater (artifice
hisambitious views, by employing the fame means
tf attack. It is not improbable that he begins to
e apprehenfive of his Gun-boats becoming ufelefs
lumber, unlefs he can devife tome new method of
imploying them; but though a few of them have
een able to (teal along the French (bores, under the
rotation of batteries, and thus to elude the vigi-
-1 lance of oar crullers, does the magnanimous Chief
imagine, that he can get his fmall craft conveyed in
fafety to the malt of Holfiein, or of the .13altic,
that he may there embark his troops in them,
for the purpofe of attacking Denmark ? Should
this be impraticable, as it certainly is, he mutt
fend his boats by land through Holland and Hano.
ver to Lubec, or cattle a number fufficient to anfwer
his purpofe, to be conftrueleki in that neighbourhood.
We had however Almon forgot, that the French can
do in the North what they Irave done in Holland...,
put every valet in requifition !
Will Europe hill look on with indifference?
