The English Erhediion he sch'r Joanna
cSpt. Prince, arrived at Salem ON Tuesday last
IN so days from Cronstadt, and 40 from Elsi-
iaore. Capt. Prince informs that the English
Expedition, consisting of 20 ships of the line,
!, and about so other vessels including trans
ports. had arrived off Elsincur, and had de-
mandel the delivery of that fortress, which
commands the Sound, and Oft the whole island
OF Zealand into their possession. Messen-
gers continued to pass between the English
commander and the Crown Prince of Den
mark. The Crown Prince had delivered in
answer to the English demand, that he would
not give up the island while there was man
alive TO defend it. It was expected the En-
glish would immediately attack Elsinore
which the Danes were preparing to defend.
1t was said the English had in their feet 49,
600 men ready for the attack On the day af-
ter capt. p. sailed, he heard heavy cannonad-
ing from which he supposed that the English
had begun the attack Unfortunately the capt
brought no papers.
From this information it is probable that a
similar scene like that of 1901, has opened in
psnmark, This unofending people are a.
gain called to contend for the liberty and ex-
istence Of their nation The great population
Of Zealand, which contains their capital, and
the true courage of the inhabitants which has
been already braved, with the indignation ex-
cited by this second unproyoked Invasion,
might lead us to hope that their heroism will
net on this as on a former occasion be dlsap-
pointed. Having so long maintained their
neutrality upon the peaceable principles of
Bernstorf, it is,tobe wished they may assert
their national rights with glory.
