The English have thrown UP very
strong works around Copenhagen, and
commenced a regular siege. The
Lime-kiln batteries are the objects of
their first attack the Crown Batteries

der to Constradt has been taken by
$50 English light dragons.
An English Messenger has arrived
here, in nine days from Fetersburgh,
for London. A letter from Stockholm,
states, that the Russiaf Minister there
had apprized the government, that if
Sweden took any part against Den
mark, o. suffered English slEtts to. enter

be marched into Finland.
