STATE PAPER.
DECLARATION OF THE KINC.
IVcut minuter, September 25, 1807.
UU majesty owe* td himself and to Europe,
a bank exiKjsitionofthemou.es which have
dictated his late measures in the Baltic.
His majesty has delayed this exposition only
in the hope of that more amicable arrangement
with the court of Denmark which it was his
majesty’s first wish and endeavor to obtain—
for which he was ready to make great efforts
and great sacrifices ; and of which he never
lost sight, even in the moment of the most de
cisive hostility.
Deeply as the disappointment of this hope
has been felt by his majesty, he has the conso
lation of reflecting that no exertion was left un
tried on his part to produce a different result.
And while he laments the cruel necessity
which has obliged him to have recourse to acts
of hostility against a nation with which it was
his majesty’s most earnest desire to have esta
blished the relations of common interest and al
liance ; his majesty feels confident that, m the
eyes of Europe and of the world, the justifica
tion of his conduct will be found in the com
manding and indispensable duly, paramount to
all others, amongst the obligations of a sove
reign, of providing, while there was yet time,
for the immediate security of his people.
His majesty had received the most positive
information of the determination of the pre
set it ruler of Prance to occupy, with a military
force. the lei ritory of Holstein—for the purpose
of excluding Great Britain from all her accus
tomed channels of conimuniation with the con
tinent ; of inducing or compelling the court of
Denmaikto close the passage of the Sound
against the Riitish commerce and navigation ;
and of availing himself of the aid of the Danish
marine for the invasion of Great Britain and of
Ireland.
Confident as his majesty was of the authenti
city of the sources from which this intelligence
was derived, and confirmed iu the credit which
lie gave to it, as well by the notorious and re
peated declarations of the enemy, and hr his re
cent occupation of the towns and tei inories of
other neutral States, as by the preparations ac
tually made for collecting a hostile force upon
tlie frontiers of his Danish majesty’s continen
tal dominions ; his majesty would yet willing
ly have foi home, to act upon this intelligence
until the complete and practical disclosure of
the plan had made manifest to all the v/oild the
absolute necessity of resisting it.
His majesty did forbear, as long as there
could be a doubt of the urgency of the danger,
or a hope of an effectual counteraction to it, in
me means or in the di positions of Denmark.
Hui liis majesty could not but recollect that
when, at the close ol the former war. the court
of Denmark engaged in n hostile confederacy
against Great Britain, the apology offered by
that court for so unjustifiable an abandonment
ol a neutrality which his majesty had never
ceased to respect was founded on its avowed
it mhility to resist the operation of external in
fluence, and the threats of a formidable negh
holing power. Ilis majesty could not but com
pete tiie degice of influence, which at that time
determined iliedecisi n ol the court of Den
mark, in violation < i positive engagements, so
lemnly contracted but six months before with
tiie increased operation which Prance hail now
the means ol giving to the same principle of in
timidation, wi ll kingdoii s, prostrate at herleet,
and with the population of nations, under her
banners
Nor was the danger less imminent than cer
tain. Already the army destined for the inva
sion ol Ho stein was assembling on the violated
territory of neutral Hamburgh. And, Holstein
once occupied, the island of Zealand was ut the
mercy of prance, and the navy of Denmark at
her disposal.
It is true, a British force might have found
its way into the Bultick. and checked for a time
the movements of the Danish marine. But the
season was approaching when the precaution
would no longer have availed, and when his
majesty’s fleet must have retired from the sea,
and permitted Prance, in undisturbed security,
to accumulate the means of offence against his
majesty’s dominions.
Yet even under these circumstances, in call
ing upon Denmark for the satisfaction and se
curity which liis majesty was compelled to re
tpiire, and in demanding the only pledge by
which that security could be rendered effectual
lie temporary possession of that fleet, which
was the chief inducement to Prance for forcing
Denmark into hostilities with Great-Britain;
his majesty accompanied this demand with the
offer of every condition w hich could tend to
reconcile it to the interests and to the feelings
oi the court of Denmark.
It was for Denmark herself to tatc the
terms and stipulations which she might require.
If Denmark was apprehensive that the sur
render of her fleet would he resented by Prance
as an act of connivance, his majesty had pre
pared a force of such formidable magnitude as
must have made concession, justifiable even in
the estimation ofpranee,by rendering resistance
altogether unavailing.
If Denmark was really prepared to resist the
demands of Prance and to maintain her inde
pendence. his majesty preferred nis co-opera
tion for her defence naval, military and pecu
ni <ry aid. the guarantee of her European terri
tories. and the security mul extension ol herco-
Joni and possessions.
Ph.it the sword has been drawn in the exe
cution of u service indispensable to the safety
of his majesty’s dominions, is matter of sincere
and painful reg’vt to his majesty. That the
state and circumstances of the world arc such
8£ ‘l have required :md justified the measures
of srif preservation, to which his majesty has
found himself under the necessity ot resorting
is a truth whicli his majesty deeply deplores, but
for which he is in no degree responsible.
His majesty has long carried on a most une
qual contest, ot scrupulous foiberance against
unrelenting violence and oppression. But that
forbearance has its bounds. When the design
was openly avowed, and already but too far ad
vanced towards its accomplishment, of subject
ing the powers of Europe to one universal usur
pation, and of combining them by terror or by
force, in a confederacy against the maritime
rights and political existence of this kingdom,
it became necessary for his majesty to antici
pate the success of a system, not more fatal to
liis interests than to those of the powers who
were destined to he the instruments of its exe
cution.
It was time that the effects of that dread
which France has inspired into the ( nations of
the world, should be counteracted by an exer
tion of the power of Great-Britain, called for by
the exigency of the ciisis, and proportioned to
the magnitude of the danger.
Notwithstanding the declaration of war on
the part of the Danish government, it stiff re
mains for Denmark to determine, whether war
shall continue between the two nations. His
majesty still proffers an amicable arrangement.
H e is anxious to sheathe the sword which he
has been most reluctantly compelled to draw.
And he is ready to demonstrate to Denmark
anti to the world, that having acted solely on the
sense of what was due to the security of his own
dominions, he is not desirous from any other
motive, or from any object of advantage or ag
grandizement, to carry measures of hostility
beyond the limits of the necessity which has
produced them.
London September 29.
Before the close of the market yesterday, a
rumor was circulated at the Stock Exchange,
that lord Malmesbury is about to proceed to
Paris in consequence of a pacific overture from
the French government. However probable it
may be, that recent events may tend to pro
duce pacific dispositions, wc believe the rumor
rested on no authority. It had the effect, how
ever, lo raise the stocks a little.
It is reported, that the ships and ‘roops em
ployed in taking the Danish fleet and capitol,
arc to be sent to the River Plate.
Gottenburgh, September 13.—We have re
ports to day, that the French army in Poland is
again preparing for warlike operations against
Russia ; indeed it is said to be in lull march.
Copenhagen Sep/ember 11. —“ The bombard
ment commenced on Wednesday, the 2d Sep
tember, at sunrise, from four mortar batteries ;
at the same time a battery of fire rockets was
opened on the right, and that part of the town
against which they were directed, was immedi
ately on kite in several jdaces.
“ The bombardment continued for three
nights, commencing at 8 o’clock r. m and con
tinuing wiihout interruption for 16 hours, that
is till noon the next (lay, when it regularly ceas
ed till 8 in the evening.
“ On the third night the town appeared to be
in one universal blaze on the right, and about
midnight the grand steeple was observed to be
on fire, which is sakl by the Danes tohave been
done by one of the rockets. At four in the
morning ii fell with a most tremendous cuisli;
at noon the furry ceased as usual, bi t the flames
spread in all directions, that day (the Lth) and
the following day (the .sth :) nor was it till the
afternoon of the 10th that they were at all a
bated.
“ Six hundred houses are burnt to the ground,
with the University and Cathedral, and only
400 houses have escaped without some damage.
Two thousand persons are said to have perish
ed in the bombardment. Another night must
have destroyed the whole town ; nor is there
on record an instance of so much damage be
ing clone in so short a time.”
