and interests of his subjects, one of which has ever been, and ever will be, enmity and rivalry towards England.

Let us leave the question of who shall be king of France to the French themselves. It is neither our interest, nor is it in our power, to interfere with them effectually on that point. Let us, in the mean time, remember what is due to our own honour and rank, as a nation, by denying to no one the just rights of hospitality; more especially when, by acting otherwise, our conduct may appear to partake of timidity most foreign to the British character, and but little calculated to promote ou present or future welfare. I am, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SATIRIST.

"Sint hic etiam sua præmia laudi."

"Et meæ, si quid loquar audiendum,
"Vocis accedit bona pars."

SIR,It is with surprise and regret I notice two articles in the second number of the Satirist, in which the character of Mr. B-h is very improperly introduced. From the prospectus of your work, and from my knowledge of some of the persons who have, and are expected to continue, to be contributors to it, I was induced, strongly and extensively to recommend it; but if it is to become a medium of wanton and indiscriminate satire and abuse, and characters of superiour excellence, like Mr. B―h, who has invariably stood forth the faithful champion of his country's best rights and privileges, are to be ridiculed for their loyalty and patriotism, the Satirist will shortly experience that obliquy and neglect, which, in that case, it will so justly merit.

The indelicacy of some of the anecdotes, &c. inserted in the work, will preclude its admission into most families, and you will very shortly have to regret your deviation from that correct and chaste conduct, which ought always to influence the editors of periodical publications, especially the Satirist, whose principal object was supposed to be, to shew that virtue offers the only path, which in this life, leads to tranquillity. Let me, therefore, recommend you to adopt the following lines from Martial, as the motto for your third number, and in future to act up to the genuine spirit of them.

Lymington, Nov. 3, 1807.

Qui musas colimus severiores."

AN ADDRESS TO BRITONS.- -BY BRITANNICUS.

Though gallic hordes with fell, insatiate ire,

Against the world's tranquillity conspire;

Though kings, who erst assum'd each noble pride
Bow to the tyrant, and his spoils divide;

Shall England crouch beneath the upstart lord?
Or, to his dictates willingly accord?..

OD ST

Shall her brave sons, renown'd in deathless fame,
So stain the lustre of Britannia's name?12.9
Unmanly were the thought! All toils they brave,yuko
And when they fall, they sink to honour's grave Į
'Tis their's to aid each persecuted state,
And 'mid each falling monarchy-be great!
Yes, they shall stand true to their native land,
Where high-thron'd liberty extends her hand,
While, with the other, she maintains the laws,
The world's just envy, and her own applause!
Close by her side shine happiness and peace,
Proving her mistress of a nation's ease:
How diff'rent France! Her sons are born
sad servility, and constant scorn!

They live in bondage from their very birth,
And meanly drop, neglected, into earth!
Britons advance! brave, patriotic souls,
Whose breasts, nor fear, nor tyranny controls,
Prove to the despot that you still maintain,
Your wonted firmness, and his threats disdain!

STATE PAPERS.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE OF OCTOBER 1st.
SUNDAY, NOy. 1.

Downing Street, October 31, 1807.-A Dispatch, of which the following is an Extract, has been received from Lieutenant-general the Right Honourable Lord Cathcart, K. T. addressed to the Lord Viscount Castlereagh, one of his Majesty's principal secretaries of state, dated on board his Majesty's ship, Africaine, the 21st of October, 1807.

As no sort of infraction of the capitulation had been made by the Danes, who, on the contrary, acted most honourably in the strict and literal fulfilment of the engagement, with a view to the fulfilment of the articles of the capitulation on our part, it was decided to commence the embarkation of the army on Tuesday, the 13th instant, Accordingly, on that day, the eight battalions of the one of the king's German legion, were embarked in the arsenal, and, on the 14th, the two light battalions of the king's German legion, together with brigadier-general Macfarlane's brigade, viz. the 7th and 8th regiments of British, which embarked in the same ships which brought them from Hull. These corps, with the depôt and garrison company of the legion, and the sick and wounded of the army, completely occupied all the sloop ships, whether for home or foreign service, which had not been appropriated to the conveyance of naval stores. These ships having been removed to the road, were placed by the horse ships. On the same day the advanced posts were withdrawn from Kolhaven, Werdenberg, Corsoer Kallenberg, Fredericksberg, Hersholm, and adjacents, and proceeding through a chain of cavalry posts, reached the envirous of Copenhagen in three marches. The embarkation of the royal artillery, with the field and battering ordnance, having been gradually carried on from the Kalk Brauderie, that of the cavalry and foreign artillery in the dock-yard, and that of the British regiments from the citadel, to the men of war, there remained on shore, on Sunday afternoon, the 18th instant, only the brigade of guards, who moved on that day from the palace of Fredericksberg, to the Strand, near Hellerup, with one brigade of British light artillery, the flank companies of the 32d and 50th regiments, with the 82d regiment, under major-general Spencer, in the arsenal; and the 4th regiment, with a detachment of royal artillery in the citadel, under lieutenant-colonel Wynch, who acted as lieutenant-governor, the 4th, or king's own regiment, having been in garrison there the whole time. Lieutenant-general sir George Ludlow was appointed to command the rear-guard of the army. In the evening of the 18th instant, a gale of wind came on which lasted twenty-four hours, and rendered further embarkation impossible, and any communication from the shore with the ships very difficult. As soon as it became evident, that the evacuation of the island, on the 19th, was impracticable, a correspondence took place between the British and Danish head-quarters, the result of which left no reason to apprehend that hostilities would re-commence on either side, at the expiration of the term, although the Danish general protested, in strong terms, against our retaining the citadel, which, on the other hand, it was not judged expedient to evacuate. On the 20th, the morning was calm, and, as soon as it was light, the drums of all his majesty's regiments on shore beat the generale; and the dock-yard and harbour being entirely cleared of transports and Briish vessels, the corps, commanded by major-general Spencer, rowed out of the arseaal, under the guns of the citadel, and proceeded along the shore to Hellerup, to be n readiness to reinforce the guards. His majesty's sloop, Rosamond, having been lso towed out of the harbour, and the king's ships within reach of the three crown battery having got under weigh, the 4th regiment marched out of the citadel, and roceeded to join the guards, covered by its own flank companies, and by a piquet of he guards. As soon as they had marched, the bridge was drawn-up; and the British

fort-adjutant was sent to the Danish head-quarters, to acquaint the general, that he was at liberty to send a guard to take charge of the citadel; accordingly, a small detachment of the royal artillery, and of the 4th regiment, were relieved by a guard of Danish troops, and the ordnance inventories and keys having been given over to the officers appointed to receive them, by major Bodecker, the fort-major, and captair Patterson, of the royal artillery, the British detachment embarked with those officers at the citadel, and proceeded to Hellerup. As soon as the 4th regiment had joined the guards, lieutenant-general sir George Ludlow began the embarkation, which was completed with great expedition and regularity. No troops of the enemy appeared, and there was no concourse of inhabitants. People of all ranks in the city, in the villages, and on the public road, were extremely civil. Had any disturbance been intended, or had any been accidentally excited, the embarkation would have been equally secure from insult, the place selected being open and level, and out of the range of fire from the crown battery or citadel, but commanded by his majesty's light ships of war. The brow, or stage itself, from which the troops embarked, was judiciously and ingeniously contrived by sir Home Popham, to answer equally the purposes of embarkation and defence. A small vessel, a praam, and a floating battery, were fastened successively to each other on the beach; the two first being planked over, and the last beyond them having several guns of large calibre prepared for action in an oblique direction, and manned by seamen. The flat-boats drew up on the two sides of the praam, and the gun-boats, which also received troops, were placed beyond the floating-battery; so that, as soon as the brigade of artillery was embarked, the troops marched to their boats, and the whole put off to their respective ships; after which the floating battery and praam were destroyed.

ADMIRALTY OFFICE, October 31, 1807.

Copy of a Letter from Admiral Gambier to the Honourable William Wellesley Pole, dated on board his Majesty's skip the Prince of Wales, off Copenhagen, the 20th of October, 1807.

SIR,-I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of the lords commissioners of the admiralty, that the whole of the Danish fleet being equipped, (except two unserviceable ships of the line and two frigates, which have been destroyed,) and the arsenal cleared of the stores, the army has been re-embarked; and that I shall proceed, with the first favourable wind, to carry into execution the instructions I have received from the lord viscount Castlereagh. Having so far accomplished the service on which I have been employed, I feel it my duty to state the great activity, energy, and zeal which have been shewit by vice-admiral Stanhope and rear-admiral sir Samuel Hood, in superintending the equipment of the Danish ships, and the embarkation of the stores from the arsenal; nor has the same spirit been less manifest in the captains, officers, seamen, and marines, who have all executed their respective parts, in the general exertion, with a promptitude and alacrity, which has not only entitled them to my warmest thanks and praise, but will, I doubt not, when the aggregate result of their labour is considered, obtain for them the approbation of their sovereign, and the applause of the nation. In the space of six weeks, sixteen sail of the line, nine frigates, fourteen sloops of war, and smaller vessels, besides gun-boats, have been fitted for sea, and all the large ships laden with masts, spars, timber, and other stores, from the arsenal, from whence also ninety-two cargoes have been shipped on board transports, and other vessels chartered for the purpose, the sum of whose burthen exceeds twenty thousand tons. A considerable number of masts and spars have been put on board the Leyden and Inflexible, which were well adapted for this purpose, and some valuable stores on board his majesty's ships; nor can I forbear to remark, that such was the emulation among the several ships of the fleet to which the Danish ships were respectively attached for equipment, that within nine days, fourteen sail of the line were brought out of the harbour, although several of them underwent, in our hands, considerable repairs. Of the thrce on the stocks, two have been taken to pieces, and the useful part of their timbers brought away; and the third, being in a considerable state of forwardness, was sawed in various parts, and suffered to fall over. On a review of the whole, I think it may be asserted, without derogating from the

merit of any former service, that the characteristic activity of British officers, seamen, and marines, was never more zealously exerted than on this occasion; but I must not omit, at the same time, to inform their lordships, that a very considerable proportion of the labour of the arsenal has been performed with equal zeal and energy, by large working parties from the army, whose exertions entitle them to the same praise. I beg leave to express the great satisfaction I have felt from the zealous and attentive services of rear-admiral Essington, to whom the general superintendance of the numerous transports, and the re-embarkation of the army, with all its artillery and stores, has been committed. I embrace this opportunity to make a particular acknowledgement of the very able and judicious dispositions, which rearadmiral Keats has made, from time to time, of the force under his command, for guarding the belt; and the vigilant attention which his whole squadron have paid to this important branch of the service. Sir Home Popham has not ceased to manifest his usual zeal and ability, in the assistance he has rendered me, in the various services of the fleet; and I should not do justice to the diligent attention, and arduous endeavours of captain Mackenzie, to fulfil the civil duties of the arsenal, which were committed to his management and superintendance, if I did not, on this occasion, express my warm approbation of his exertions, and I beg leave to recommend him to their lordships' favourable notice. I have the honour to transmit herewith, a list of the Danish ships and vessels which have been brought away, and of those destroyed. The account of the stores shipped from the arsenal shall also be sent as soon as the several returns can be collected and arranged.

N. B. The list of the Danish ships found at Copenhagen has been already published. Two ships of the line and two frigates have been destroyed.

ARMY IN ZEALAND.

"Head-quarters, Hellerup, near Copenhagen, September 7, 1807. GENERAL ORDERS. The commander of the forces cannot delay expressing his best thanks to all the general officers and staff, for the great and able assistance he has received from them in their several ranks and stations; and he feels himself, in like manner, indebted to all officers commanding brigades and regiments, and to the offcers and soldiers under their command. He must, however, be allowed, in a particular manner, to express his thanks to major-general Bloomfield and colonel D'Arcy, and to the officers and corps of the royal artillery and engineers, whose labours, science, and success, collectively and individually, have been most remarkable, and reflect great credit on that branch of his majesty's service. The services and perseverance of lieutenant-colonel Smith, and the 82d regiment, in occupying and maintaining the windmill batteries, have been particularly distinguished, and claim peculiar thanks. The gallant conduct of lieutenant Light, of the 50th regiment, in command of a piquet of that regiment on the 31st, was particularly noticed."

THE EXPEDITION TO ZEALAND.

His Majesty's ship Prince of Wales, off Copenhagen, September 28, 1807. The admiral has the sincerest satisfaction in obeying the orders of the right honour-. able the lords commissioners of the admiralty, by conveying to the flag officers, captains, commanders, officers, seamen, and marines of the fleet, under his command, his majesty's most gracious approbation of their zealous and persevering exe:tions, and above all, their cordial co-operation with the army, under the command of lieutenant-general lord Cathcart, in carrying on the siege against Copenhagen, which, by its result, has added the navy of Denmark to that of the United Kingdom. The admiral also seizes this, as the fittest occasion, to express his sincere thanks to he flag officers, captains, commanders, officers, seamen, and marines, for their prompt execution of all his commands, by which he has been honoured with the most flattering testimony of his sovereign's approbation; and he assures them at the ame time, that he shall not fail to convey to his majesty his most perfect conviction, hat the alacrity with which they have fitted the late Danish navy for sea, is unexmpled in history.
