HOLSTEIN August 10. The following summary & remarks from the London Traveller, of August 21, (la-

test date) are highly interesting. "The object of our expedition to the Baltic is not likely to be amicably effected. The Danes are determined to resist The Prince Royal, who left Keil on the 9th. reached Copenhagen at noon on the 11th, and immediately repaired to the Holm, an island in front of that city. and upon which the chief works for its protection are ercfted. Orders had been received the evening before to man the batteries, and to draw out from the naval arsenal every vessel capable of contributing to the defence of the place. The fleet of admiral Gambier was drawn up in order of Battle, within 3 or four miles of Copenhagen and some light vessels had approached nearer to the town. "It is not improbable that an attack would be made up on Copenhagen previous to the day appointed for reviewing the determination of that court. It is evident from the conduct of the Prince Regent, that no compromise was to be expected. The act of manning the batteries, and ordering the navy to be called out, could only be considered as a positive indication of resistance, and was to be met accordingly. A prompt decision of this kind on the part of our commander in the Baltic, would save a world of trouble, and much of that valuable blood, which we fear would otherwise be shed. If Danes were allow= ed three days toencreafe and improve their means of defence, there is no saying to what resistance their characterestic bravery, and the prefence and example of the Prince Regent, may not lead them—We have already a fatal instance of the bad effects of procrastination in what occured before Constantinople. The British fleet in the Baltic, appears to have made every disposition for a successful attack on Copenhagen, and in fact for completely surrounding the whole isand. Between Holstein and the opposite shore in Zealand, to prevent the French troops from coming over, are four ships of the line, four frigates and a number of gun boats and tranfsports. The Grand Army of Den-

mark, being at Holstein, there were supposed to be not more than from 12 to 16000 troops on the Island of Zeland. PRIVATE COMMUNICATION. Communicated for the Political Register. Baltimore, Sept. 26. In a letter received yesterday from France, there is mention of an important

arrangement for Europe, which has been as vet but obfcurely hinted at in the papers.
