" When a man like me, make? prepo
fals of the kind that mine were, he is not
disposed to be refufed. I forgot myfdfto
that degree, that 1 would have, married
rou; there wanted nothing to my reproach
but your denial : That has restored me
entirely to myfelf, and now 1 f^e what I
ha\e to do. Since I cannot be your huf.
band, I am resolved to blow my own
brains out, bet fi ft to blow out yours.—
Prepare yourfelf for that event."
“ Mademoiselle Allard, extremely a
farmed went to the Lieutenant of the Po
lice. The latter comforted her, and bid
her fear nothing. Stria searches arc make
ing after the Foreigner."
'' Mademoiselle Allard received the
day following, by the Penny Post, a bil +
let in these terms :
" Madam,
''A fervent out of livery, but very
well dressed, carried this billet, with an in.
junction not to tell the name of his Matt
er. Mademoiselle Allard replied;
'' I begin to believe, fir, that what you
wri e to me is very ferioufly,and that you
think all that you fay. You express your
felf without circumlocution, and 1 will now
do the fame. I should like very well to
be a Baroness, to enjoy twenty thousand
crowns a year, still better to marry a man
young, well made, and vigorous : But
wedlock terrifies me, the profeflion 'of a
mifhefs pleases me,& yet I am hmatt. If I
had given you a promise of fidelity. I
should have kept it to a degree of madness :
But I would choose to be less rich, to con
tinue numarried, and to change my lover
when I plcafe. Taere is a proper return
for your franknefs, and without being of
your country, I think I can be sincere.
For the rest, I am at prefect engaged to
one whom 1 prefer to the Sovereignty of
the world : Judge then, if a barony, espe
cially a foreign one, can tempt me. A
dieu, fir, quit your phtenzy as soon as
you pleafc, and set a proper value on my
refufal. "I am, &c."
"Your proposals are so extraordi
nary, that I cannot but consider them as a
joke. Accordingly I have no other an
swer to make. I have the honour of be
ing, &c. " ALLARD."
" In the afternoon the stranger posted
back with the following billet :
" I had the honour of telling you, that
I meant not gallant formalities. My pro
posals are Sincere and frank. May you
use the like freedom with me, and open
your heart with the fame confidence I
Show you. Once more, it is marriage I
propose, in good and lawful form, it
gives me little concern, you have been a
Mistress, provided you be not so when you
are my wife ; but avail yourfelf of my
phrenzy ; I shall not remain long perhaps
in the fame way of thinking. Ic.nnot be
lieve that on this second explanation you
will be Bill incredulous. Adieu, Queen
of my heart, remember it is not a Baton
cfs it Sighs after."

A FOREIGN Baron, ftreck fame days
since at the Opera with the foft atti
tudes and wanton gestures of Mademoi
selle Allard, writ the following billet.
" I am a foreigner, and of course
little accustomed to French gallantry. I
can make love only seriously. Your fig
ure and seducing attitudes have pleated
me to that degree, that I am determined
to raarry you. I offer yeu my hand if
you will quit the Theatre, and cut capers
only for me. lam a person of rank, have
twenty thousand crowns a year ; for the
rest, am young, well made, and vigorous.
