COPENHAGEN, April 4. The 30th of last Month Colonel Keith, the English Minister, dispatched a Courier to his Court. Next Day the Couriers sent from our Cabinet arrived here from London; and the following Day Colonel Keith received some Dispatches from his Court, by an Express, which he this Day sent back again to London.

Mr. Uidahl, Attorney General, who is charged with the Defence of the Queen and of Count Struensee, and who is for that Purpose discharged from his Oath, that he may be able to perform his Duty the better, spoke the 16th of last Month before the great Commission, in Favour of the Accused. In his Speech, he made Use of these Expressions: "In whatever Light I view the Affair, I find so much Matter for Reflection, concerning the Manner in which the Queen has been treated, that I cannot entirely approve of that Proceeding." He concluded with saying, "Being charged, by the King's Order, with the Defence of this Cause, be persuaded, Gentlemen, that I shall undertake Nothing without a scrupulous Examination. Neither Partiality nor Affection, but the Laws, and my Conscience alone, shall guide my Pen in my Vindication of those Persons whose Defence I take in Hand." Counsellor Beng is to plead in Behalf of the Count de Brandt.
