HELIGOLAND, JUNE f.'?.

This day a Danish cutter, bearing a flag of truce,
arrived from Tonningen with di.stiatches froni the
Danish Government to his Majesty the King or
Sweden. She brings intelligence that a cansielete.
Me body of Saxon troops were on their march to the
frontiers of Russian Poland, and were expected to
take possession of Warsaw. The troops in Dantzic
and its suburbs are sweet to amount to 20,000, and
are bttsily employed in throwing up fortifications and,
forming Magazines. The ostensible object of-such
a number of troops being stationed there is said tome
to resist any attempt that might be made by the Eng•
lish fleet.

Yesterday morning, at balf-past eleven o'clock, his
IVlA.ik:sry came on Windsor Terrace, accompanied by
1)r. Wm.'s, and walked till twelve.

We have been favoured with the following account,
which may be considered as a sort of official statement,
on the part of the Americans, of the late conflia between
the President and the Little Belt

" The l'esident sailed from Cape Henry Light House on the
z Ith instant, and on the 16th, at 22 o'clock, P. :11.so miles from
t :apt- itsmey, t sail was discovered from the mast head, hearing
towards the President. Supposing from her appearance, that
she was a man of war, as she was making private signals, the
i tesid-ut cleared for aection. The Little Belt not finding her gig-
r aus•s•ered,vroye ship and stood Mr under a press of sail. The
e. i: .1, at tnat time, being very light, the President did not over-
haul ier until 3 o'clock in this i.veniag. At this time, finding
A,. not escape, sale hoisted her colours, which could not
took in sail, and prepared for action.
At half p.i,t eight, distant about a hundred yards, Corn-
mus!ore Roe ens hailed her, with " What ship is that?" No
Im-ster o jivers, acid their Commander hailed, and asked,
‘, V. t.:.• saM, is that ?" Conceiving himeelf. entitled to an an-
s .as he was first to hail, Commodore lioness ag...in hailect
li. 1 1 -ccreely repeated his question, when a shot was received
from Little-Belt, which entered tis main-mast.
• this insult, one shot only was fired from the Presi-
t '.ehich was returned by a broadside from-the Littlz-lielt,
aci.c,mp.o•ied with musquetry. Commodore Roceas was there-
for catfa~•lied, the honour of his flag, to commence a gene-
t- •' t:r.. which in the course of Ave minutes silence 1 his oppo-
num. ?:ot wishing a wasteless efil..sion of human blood, the
Commodore immediately gave orders to 'cease firing. The
Latie-lielt, however, in about three minutes, recommenced her•
ire, which was retbrned by the President, and continued about
live minute', when the British ship ceased firin: Commodore
lion a s again inquired. " What ship is that?' The answer
Immediately returned was, " His Britannic Majesty's ship Little
_ _

—',The President then lay too to repair, having received two
shot in her foremast, and one in her.main-mast ; and, !Hippo*.
i..g the other vessel much injured, kept her lights hurtling all
night, humanely wi:l,lr,; to relieve them in Base they should
Want sioVstance. At ch.y-light, next morninz,..aste was dis-
coverer: about ten miles to leeward, carrels"( h colours,
and smiler ',main top sail upon Use cap. Co m;=; Rastas
bore down upon her, under easy sail, and tint his First Lieu- '
tenant on board, with' an offer of assistance towards repairing
their damages. Captain BINGHAM politely refused this offer,
stating that he thought he should be enabled to reach Halifax,
and likLwise stated that he took the President fors Frenchman.
" -The Little Belt, in this unfortunate afar, had between 20
and 3o killed and wounded; and the President had one boy
Wounded in the artn. •

"*The President bad the American dag flying from the time
the gave chase until the morning Liter the adtion. '
We are still without any positive official statement
On either side, and therefore can only say that we place
more reliance on the account given under the authority
of our own Officers, as to the important question who
fired the first shot, than on the above relation.

Among the public Journals to the date of the 3oth
May, several files of which have reached our hands,
from various situations in the United States, we have
seletled the following from the Oftcial Paper, pub-
lisl).6:l at Washington

CAMBRIDGE IRSTALLATIOIt

-•. • -
Mofulaf
The Members` of the University; and the nume
sous classes of distinguished visitors who have ar.
rived here, were awoke at an early hone this motniag
by the merry peals of •Sti Mary's, to the enjoyment
of new sCenekof splendour' and festivity.
The first object of attention Was
..
THE LEVEE
which was held by his Royal Highness at .Trinity
Lodge, from half.past nine to half past ten, during
which time the various Members of the University,
as well as the Noblemen end Gentlemen drawn
thither to be present the •Installation, were seen
approaching Trinity in their respective costumes,
and many is Court dresses. On their arrival at the
Lodge they were introduced to his Royal High-
ness With the usual formalities, and were received
with that urbanity and politeness by which his
Royal Highness is so peculiarly distinguished.
Amongst others we noticed--

.
The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Tavistock,
Lord Erskine, Lard George Cavendish, Lord Francis Osborne,
Lord Hardwlcke, Lord Palmerstone, Lord Bective, the Bi-
shcps of Bristol, Norwich, Bath and Wells; and cloyne, Sir
Sidney Smith, General Gascoigne, Sir John Hippcsky, Mr.
Wilberforce, Mr. W. Smith, Scc. du.

At eleven, his Royal Highness proceeded in state
to the Senate House ; the order of procession being
nearly similar to that whirl) took place after the In-
stallation on Saturday.
Ili Royal Highness having taken his chaipr and
all the Metnbers of the .Senate having been assem-
bled, the Caput, which consists of the Vice-Chan-
cellor, a Doctor in each faculty, two Masters of
Arts, and two Proctors, proposed the names of the
several Noblemen who were to receive honorary
degrees, which were tacitly approved of by the
Regents and Non-Regents, or upper and lower
liouses. On the acquiescence.of the Senate being
thus signified, each Nobleman advanced to the
Chancellor's chair, where they knelt, and his Royal
Highness having taken their hands in his, and made
a short speech, the degree was conferred.
Amongst those who received this honour were
the Marquis of Tavistock, Lord Francis Osborne,
Lord George Cavendish, and Lord Bective, This
ceremony being concluded, his Royal Highness re-
turned to Trinity Lodge in the same manner in
which he came from thence. On this occasion the
company were not so numerous as on Saturday, a
circumstance which may be attributed to the

GRAND PUBLIC BREAKFAST AT SIDNEY COLLEGE.
to which the general attention was next directed.
This Fete, which was of the most splendid descrip-
tion, was given by Members cf the University
to his Royal High s, in the grounds of Sidney
Sussex College, w were fitted up with the in. most taste and elm . nee for the purpose. In the
public ground • erected a convenient or-
chestra, beautiful ainted, in which a band d
music .performerix4iuring the continuance of the
festival. In the. tient of the orchestra, and nest.
the College, were. two extensive platforms covered
with an awning ricanvas, which were appropriated
solely tn - dancituan arrangement su,:gested di.
.tirely from gal y towards the Ladies, who,
by the spirit and energy with which they enjoyed
the diversion, fully proved the satisfaction' they
felt. In the Fellows' Garden, which is remarkable
for an extensive and handsome howling-green, were
spread several tables under canvas awnings most
commodiously placed ; and here was prepared a
collation,• consisting of every delicacy the season I
could afford. Hot-house fruits were in the greatest .1
profusion, while wines of the most costly descrip. 1
tion and delicious Savour were served in the utmost
abundance. The strongest anxiety was, in fact,
evinced by every possible expedient, not alone to do 1
0 honour to his Royal I lighness, but to administer I
to the enjoyments of the visitors who were invited
to Rartake of the repast ; and in 'drawing a com-
pennon between the festivities at Oxford, on the
Installation of Lord Glenville, and those at Cam-'
bridge, every impartial observer - Who 114 wit-
nessed the two, was boned to pronounce thelatter
by far the most interesting and satisfactory, not so
rnnch for the gaudiness of the spectacle as for
polite attention, liberal hospitality, and elegant taste
which-was every where displayed. The comfort,
convenience, and happiness of every individual was
studiously -consulted ; and the beauties of the place,
although Of the most- imposing nature in themselves,
\vete improved by every an which the ingenuity
and fancy of the University could invent. Neither
. expense nor labour was spared ; all the
of the Colleges participated in the general exertion ;
and each, as if personally interested in the lionoue
.and gallantry of his community, became a sort of
Trost in himself, and by the most unwearied and des
licate attention to the guests, ;moved the sincerity
by which he was actuated. In the Fellows' garden,
la well as in the public grounds, a band of music
was stationed, who, by the most lively airs, contri-
buted to increase the good humour every where
predominant, notwithstanding the weather was a
I little unfavourable.

His Royal Highness arrived about two o'clock,
attended by his Aides.de•Camp and a party of
ft lends ; they were leccived at the entrance by a
deputation, who gave them a most hearty welcome,
and on their arrival in the Gardens, a lane was
formed by the company,. through which his Royal
Highness passed, amidst the loudest expressions Of
pleasure. Nothing could be equal to the enlivening
scene which was now exhibited. In one direction
was to be observed the Learned Doctors, whose
countenances are generally marked by scholastic
sestet ity, bending to the shrine of beauty, throwing
off the gloomy austerity of their manners, and, like
their pupils, enjoying with youthful gaiety the gene-
ral harmony. In fact, whichever way the eye was
turned, the. beauties of art and nature shone con;
spicuous; the studious solemnity of the sacred
groves was forgotten. and nothing but mirth, joy,
and hilarity prevailed. To do adequate justice to
the scene would in truth be impossible ; we must
here, therefore, draw a veil over that we have -not
theability to pourtray, and leave our Readers to the
full exertion of their imagination.
At half past four his Royal Highness quitted
Sidney Gardens, after having expressed, in the
most glowing terms, the hippiness he had expe-
rienced,-oand- returned to Trinity Lodge; from
whence he soon afterwards went to the Hall, where
he was entertained with a splendid . dinner by Tri-
t4ty
.College, to which till the distinguished chat-ac-
tin m tbe-Universirl were invited.

(Continued from our Pifer if yesterday.)
Ile Rev: Jon. CSAPILaII Was Itllttabltd St fial•Wlt
Were: you an aequalniantie of tivalate Lord Betkelty I—Yes;
for tfsirty•Ove years: -
Do you recollect handling any one of his children?—!
What application did his -Lordship wake to you, Sall in whit
way ?—He said le had a natural soft, sackshoold be very much
obligtd to me L Wbuld christen:film ;,and I told him I could
riot do it, as it war a natural chile!, and therefore begged that he
would crease me, for I must apply to the Rector of St. George's
parish, if 1 dld, Junk I dkl not think It was a post df honour to
apply for any mares natural child.
What passed upon that told Lord Berkeley I thought his
best-plan would be to send the nurse and the child after Morning
Prayers to the Vestry at tit. George's, and there he would find an
efliciaties Clergyman that would christen the child and *sister*
at the same titne,for 1 could not register It in another man's pa-
rish without his leave ; then, to my astonishment, my Lord
Berkeley *ailed upon me In Piccadilly and produced *written leave
for ine to baptize the chill is his parish, signed by Dr. Henry
Courteney. The day was then fixed, and the parties Oonsiitnl of
tho child, the mother, Alois mother or aunt, k supposed,
Admiral Prescott. mysell, and the Clerk of Si: Georgl.'s parish.
At what date was this ?—lt was January the MR, 1711:. At
tliechristrmng, when I was pulling off my surplice, lotted Admi.
ral Prescott writing down what I must have askrd hint if he had
not ;*I do not mean that it WAS any thing improper, "
WWlats
Fi!zhartlinge, natural sen el the Earl' of Berkeley, by Mary
"Tudor."

W. Lord Berkeley present then ?—Lord Berkeley was net
&matt. •
How soon afterwards did you see him upon this subject ?
Lord Berkeley, prior to the christening, desired that when I had.
done I would briug the certificate to his house in Craftoia•street.
I took the certificate and went up suite, and found Lord Berkeley
without his Coat. He eaid he was in the midst of dressing, to ik
the ere tificate,and said," AU is well,and I will be with you,go and '
read the paper in my room, and I will be with you in a moment."
—4 waited more than half an hour; I thought him a lopg time
in dressily, and about a quaver of an hour after he came in
with his hat on. Sap be—' Well, I hive been with Deihl,.
Courtenay, and we have both registered the child." I said to
hill , " And what do you think brought me here r Says be,
" My eld friend, I really was so taken up with the deans of.
registering the child that I forgot you: I concluded it was all
properly 'lone, as Doctor Cuurtenay aad-he bad bee* together.
I did like the contempt of being left alone in that "tanner; and
I told his Lordsiip so. . .
Did you afterwards see the entry made In the register ?—No,
I did not; that wall come in its course. It was a good while
after 'ghat ; I think it was about two years after that, Lord.
Berkeley applied to me again, and said, " I know you have a
great dislike to christening natural children ' • but if you will be
so good as to stand godfather with Admiral Prescott to my se-
csind son I shall take it very kill, and give to one nurse a guinea,
and Admiral Prescott will give a guinea to•the other mirse."• tin
the christeeitig went on; but there was one thing that 'truck,
me as very extraordinary ; when the ceremony was eves', Lady
Berkeley gave a sealed letter to Mr. Pht, the officiating Cler-
gyman.
Did she then go by the name of Lady Berkeley 1-oh, no;
I never beard that she went by the name of Lady Berkeley
till she was publicly married.
During all the time of the intimacy subsisting between you
and Lord Berkeley, did Lord Berkeley pass as a married or a
single tnan ?—As a single man. I recollect a en ettimeance
that passed on coming trout shooting one day. It was Lord
Berkeley's custom to ask, where, Mrs. Tudor was? and the
servant that answered his question said, " hly Lady Berkeley
i. In the pleasure grounds=' to which Lord Berkeley answered,
" You fool, whom do you mean by Lady lietkeley ? l have no
. Lady Berkeley belonging tame but my another." .1 hat servant
repeated that once alter chat, but never afterwards. •
Did you use to dine at Lord Berkeley's bonze trequently ?
hied p hattee'in the Oiglabonrhood audit family, therefore I
'sohiginles very seldom." •
Did WI Lady pfeside at the table when you had beim there ?
—Slip did. , • • . •
What name did. she go. by ?--Tudgr. a
Did atlY 'of the children ever go by any other name than thie
by which the one had been christened ?-13erkeley, anti their
Christian names Fits and Frederick.

Do you know whetbvt any ladierof the neighbourhood-Were
In tbe trbti of v4idt.ij that person, Attu Tudor ?—No, 1 do
nut know.

You represented that you hid seen Lord I3erkeley at Sprini.
Carthoirin his return finm the House Lo:ds, when he weut
to claim a former Marriage ?—1 did.

FIRE IN BELL-.TARD,TEMPLE-BAR.
About twelve o'clock last night most alarm-
ing Fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Rem,
Law-Bookseller, Bell•yard, Carey-street, next door
to the &ran Printing-Office. The familymere all in
bed, and it was with much difficulty that they were
roused from sretp, and saved from the flames, which
raged with so much fury as to destroy the premises
of Mr. REID to the foundation, in about two hours.
At one time it was thought that the whole neighbour-
hood would be destroyed by the devouring element.
The Star Pi inting Office was on fire, and we have suf-
fered considerable damage; but, fortunately, a num•
ber ofengines were soon at.the spot, there was an abun-
dant supply of water, the firemen exerted themselves
in a surprising manner, and the flames were subdued.
Our Readers we are,sure will make ample allow-
ance for any inaccuracies they may discover in our
pages this day. We did not expect to publish at all,
but by the kind assistance of other Gentlemen in the
same profession, we have been enabled to print our
paper on our own premises. Almost every Morn-
ing Paper in London offered their aid to us in our
distress.--We shall not attempt, for we cannot, to
express the sense we entertain of their kindness.
A very few days will restore our premises to
perfect order. In the mean time we have to inform
our friends that already our arrangements are in
such order that neither our Readers nor advertising
Friends will experience any disappointment.
Our neighbours Mr. Bush, and Mr. Rigge, have I
also sustained considerable damage, but the princi-
pal sufferer has been Mr. Reid, in whose premises
the fire began. His extensive and valuable stock of
ls;)oks has been entirely destroyed..
We beg to inform the Trade, that a number
of bound and stitched books have been purloined
from our office, principally French and German pe-
riodical publications and works of Science.—lf they
can assist us in recovering any part of them we
know they will.
er LOST this Morning, between• One and Two &Clock, a
Ilaidwin's MEMORANDUM POCKET-BOOK, bound in
black Spanish leather, and a small red square MEMORAN-
bUM_BOOK. They are suppo3ed to have been dropped in
Carey street by a Gentleman who was assisting at the fire:*
Whoever brine them to the STAR-Orrice, will be handsomely
•Rewarded.

Buenos Ayres Gazettes of the 21st March reached

proclamation of Eta°, Goveraor of Monte Video,
declaring the Government of Buenos Ayres and its
supporters traitors ; the Proclamation of the Junta of
Buenos Ayres, in answer, defying the power of Eno,
and directing a general enlistment of the citizens,
from the age of 16 to 45, and another Proclamation

service, to Ireland.
In addition to the troops stated in former papers to
have arrived at Plymouth,to embark for Spain, Por-
tugal, &c. a large detachment of the 2d dragoons
have since arrived there. It was truly a gratifying
spectacle to witness the embarkation of the 9th Light
Dregoons : this fine regiment went on board in the
hiLhest health and spirits, and all expressed their
eagerness to come in contact with the enemy.
A letter from Cadiz, dated the 24th of May, says,
ft... 44 To the particulars of the battle of -Albuhera, as
given in the official accounts, private letters, received
from the army, add several others which we deem
worthy of notice :—General Mendezabel, who chose
,to fight at the head of the light patties, displayed the
:nose heroic intrepidity and. resolution, and proved
that, if victory be a boon of the capricious goddess,
virtue and patriotism exclusively belong to the heart,
and are independent of the vicissitudes of chance.
" Gen. Ballasteros had two horses killed, and one
wounded under him ; 'General Zayas, his horse
wounded, and his two Aidesde-camps, Cras and
Zurita, killed; Brigadier Cruz Moutgeon, and his

dier Espana was also wounded with a lance in the
left arm. The troops of the household supported
t:-mir ancient and well-deserved character ; the 4th
battalion of the Spanish Guards fought with the
bayonet, and with unprecedented ardour; the Regi-
ment of Ireland lost 16 Officers, and the battalion of
C nutrias seven out of the 11 whom it had in the ac-
tion. Gazan is among the French generals wounded.
One of the prisoners ts the Colonel of Hussars of
