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.” ARTICLES OF CAPITULATION, For the town and citadel of Copenhagen, a grecd upon between admiral Gambicr, com mander in chief of his Britannic majesty’s ships and vessels iu the Baltic sea, and lieut. general the right honorable lord Cathcart, K.
