Procedings before Copenhagen.

Extracts of a Letter from Lieutenantgeneral Lord Cathcart to Lord Castlereagh; dated Head-quarters, at Hellerup, before Copenhagen, August 22, 1807.

I have inclosed a journal of the operations of the army, from the 14th, in the morning, together with a return of the casualties which have occurred, except those of the cavalry, which are not considerable, but have not been transmitted.

Head

Head-quarters, Hellerup, before Copenhagen, 22d Aug. 1807. Journal of the Army under the Com. mand of Lieutenant-general Lord Cathcart, from the morning of the 14th of August, 1807.

Aug. 14th. The fleet between Elsineur and Helsingberg-Calms and contrary winds-Transports assembled by brigades, each under the charge of one of his majesty's ships. 15th. The flect worked up to Vedbeck, the reserve anchoring nearest the shore, covered by the Surveillante, and by several gunbrigs and bombs. Major-general Spencer's brigade, under convoy of admiral Essington, with a division of the fleet, anchored higher up the Sound, to make a diversion. Coast reconnoitred, and disposition made for landing.

16th. The reserve landed at five in the morning, with the ordnance of a light brigade, and occupied the heights. The remainder of the infantry followed, with the ordnauce of another light brigade. A squadron of the 1st light dragoons, hor. ses for the two brigades of artillery, and for the staff, were also disem. barked. A flag of truce was received from major-general Peyman, commander-in-chief in Copenhagen, requesting passports for their high nesses the two princesses of Denmark, nicces to his Danish majesty, to go from Copenhagen to Col. ding; which were granted.-In the evening, the army marched by their left in three columns by Nerun to Lyngbyl; the centre by Hermitage and Fortuna to Jagersborg, the left by the coast of Charlottenberg, and lay upon their arms.

17th. At day-break, the army marched by their right in three columns, to invest the town.

The

left column established a post at Bagerne's-mill, and extended from Freborg to Emdrup. That from Jagersborg by Gladsacks and Vanlocs to Fredericksberg, extending to the sea on the right, and towards Falconergard on the left. The reserve, from Lyngbyl, marched by Bangede and Emdrup, and occu. pied the space between the two other divisions. Two brigades of the king's German legion remaining at Charlottenfurd to cover the dis embarkation of the cavalry and park of artillery.-Major-general Spencer's brigade landed at Skores. hard, and marched into their post on the left of the line; all the division giving piquets to the rear, to pre. vent surprise from the country. Head-quarters established at Hellerup. Transports assembled at Skoreshard, where the cavalry com menced disembarking. Princesses of Denmark came out of the city on their route to Colding, and were received with the honours due to their rank by the brigade of guards, near the palace of Fredericksberg. The piquets of the left towards the town were attacked about noon: at the same time the enemy's gunboats rowed out of the harbour, and cannonaded the left of the line with grape and round shot. The piquets drove in and pursued the enemy, and resumed their posts, part of the line having advanced to sustain them. His majesty's gun-brigs and bombs having been towed as near the harbour as they could, opened a fire at a considerable distance upon the enemy's gun-boats, which, after a long cannonade, retired into the har. bour.

18th. At day-break, the gun. boats renewed the attack проп the gun

gon brigs, trusting to the superior weight of their guns, the latter having, during the night, exchanged their carronades for 18-pounders; the gun-boats retired, but advanced again with increased numbers. A brigade of 9-pounders from the Park having been brought to the mill, took them in flank, upon which they turned their fire to the lines, and, after cannonading for some time, were driven in, together with their field-pieces, which advanced upon the road.

Engineer tools, &c. &c. having been disembarked, a work was begun at the mill, and considerable progress was made. The same day, the cavalry moved to their quarters at Charlottenberg, Jagersborg, and Vanloes, with piquets in the country, and a chain of posts, supported by the first battalion of the king's German legion, from Lergentree and Collekolle, under the direction of brigadier-general V. D. Decken.

19th. The works carried on by parties of 600 men, relieved every four hours. The gun-boats, attacked at day-break, but were driven off by the field-pieces, which were now protected. Some of the pipes were discovered which convey fresh water to the town from Em. drup. The frigates and gun-brigs, having a favourable breeze, took their station near the entrance of the harbour, within reach of throwing shells into the town. Four 21pounders were brought into the battery at the mill. Great progress was made in the work at that place, and in a howitzer battery in the rear of it, with traverses and cover for the men. Brigadier-general Decken surprised and took the post of Frederickswork, commanded by a major, aide-de-camp to the

Crown Prince, who capitulated, with 850 men and officers, with a foundry and depôt of cannon and powder. The king's household, with part of his Danish majesty's wardrobe, plate, wine and books, were suffered to come out of the town to follow his majesty (who has withdrawn to Colding), passports having been requested. Some gentlemen residing in the district of Copenhagen, and in the bailwicks towards Elsineur, having offered their services to accept the office of magistrates and superintendants of police in their respective districts, under the commander of the forces, an order was made for that purpose, and sent to be printed and published, and a commission was given, in reference to a proclamation printed and published in German and Danish, on the day of disembarkation.

20th. Farther progress made in the works. More ordnance landed and mounted. A patrole on the left having reported, that a body of cavalry, with a corps of infan try in their rear, had been seen in front of Roeskilde, colonel Rodon sent a squadron to reconnoitre them, which found them assembled near that place, and immediately charged and put them to flight, leaving 16 or 18 men killed, and taking 3 prisoners and 29 horses. The dragoons pursued the enemy to the gates of Roeskilde, where they were received by a heavy fire of infantry, and returned to their quarters. The admiral came to head-. quarters in the morning, and returned to his ship.

21st. Lord Rosslyn's corps dis. embarked in the north part of Keoge bay, with two batteries of artillery, sending round the remaining transports to Skoreshard.

strong

strong patrole of cavalry and infantry was sent to cover his landing Progress made in cutting off the water. Further arrangements made with gentlemen of the country. Passport granted to prince Frederick Ferdinand of Denmark and his preceptor. Notice given that no more passports can be granted: at the same time a recommendation urged to the commanding general, to consider the dreadful consequences of making a capital city of such extent stand a siege and bombard. ment like an ordinary fortress. Great advance made in perfecting the works already in progress,

which cover our left. A trench pushed forward, and a new battery erected 300 yards in advance. Brigadier-general Macfarlane's brigade landed at Skoreshard. Great progress made in landing the battering train and stores for the siege. Fascines made for a new battery on the right. These works being completed will take the enemy's line of advanced posts in reverse, and will cover and secure the advance of the army to a new position. (Signed) CATHCART.

Prince of Wales, off Copenhagen, MY LORD, August 21. Being of opinion, that the service on which his majesty's forces at the island of Zealand are employed, renders it highly expedient that all neutral trade therewith should be for the present suspended, I have judged it my duty to issue an order (of which I have the honour to transmit your lordship a copy) declaring the said islands, and others contiguous thereto, together with the passage of the Great Belt, to be in a state of close blockade, and directing that all neutral vessels persisting to enter into the said islands and passage, after receiving due notice thereof, shall be detained, and sent to me at this anchorage, intending that such vessels shall not be allowed to pursue their respective. voyages, until the circumstances of the island shall permit them to do so, consistently with the object of the present service,

William Wellesley Pole, Secretary of the Admiralty, from James Gambier, Esq. Admiral of the Blue, and Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Baltic; dated Prince of Vales, in the Sound, August 21.

SIR,

I beg you will inform the lords commissioners of the Admiralty, that I yesterday morning quitted the anchorage off Elsineur, and in the evening arrived with the fleet and transports off Wibeck, a village about midway between, that place and Copenhagen, where the army was this morning disembarked, without opposition.

I have the honour to be, &c.
JAMES GAMBIER.

Extract from the Journal of Admiral Gambier, Commander-in-Chief of His Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Baltic.

August 23. The battery on the left wing of the army (which is calculated to defend its advance from the annoyance of gun-boats) being completed, and mounted with thirteen 24-pounders, the construction of mortar batteries, under cover of the above, are in progress. The enemy, observing these movements, appeared yesterday to be collecting their praams and gun-boats near the harbour's mouth, in preparation for a powerful attack on our works. Our advanced squadron continuing in their position for defending the operations on shore, were, about ten A. M. attacked by three praams, (carrying each 20 guns) and a considerable number of gun-boats (said to be more than 30) in addition to VOL. XLIX.

floating batteries, and block-ships, which was continued for more than four hours. The fire was returned with great spirit from the squadron, and some attempts were made to throw Mr. Congreve's rockets, but the distance was too great to produce much effect from them. About two P. 'M. the gun-brigs which were farthest advanced, not being able to make any impression against so vast a force, were ordered to retire, and the firing ceased. I am happy to find the squadron received no material injury. We have, however, to regret the loss of lieut. John Woodford, of the Cruiser, with three men killed in the several vessels, and 13 wounded. On the part of the enemy, it is believed, that one gun-boat has been disabled or sunk, and one of the praams was observed to be towed out of the action, disabled. The new battery at the Mill opened, and taking part in the engagement, did considerable execution. The ships and vessels undermentioned were engaged in this affair, and I have acquitted my. self of a most pleasing duty, in conveying to the commanders, offi cers, and crews, of the sloops, bombs, gun-brigs, and boats, the warm sense of praise and approbation with which their bravery and energy, during so long and so heavy a contest, have inspired me.

Names of the Vessels forming the ad vanced Squadron, with an Account of the Killed and Wounded.
