Encaitare, read the chapter entitled "The Siege of Gondor". Immediately following Faramir's telling Gandalf of seeing Frodo, is text revealing Denethor's knowledge of the ring. He was upset with Faramir for letting Frodo and the ring go to Mordor instead of Gondor. I can't resist just one quote from this chapter:

For Boromir was loyal to me and no wizard's pupil. He would have remembered his father's need, and would not have squandered what fortune gave. He would have brought me a mighty gift.
