A FEW years ago a man

at Allerton, in this neighbor-
hood, by trade a taylor, but
who could occasionally handle
his fiddle as well as needle:

The affrighted Job Snip, I

Breard made a fpeecfy io fa
vour of the marines and naval
fiddle, which as instantly op
erated again as a magic charm
upon the Bull, who became
as composed and attentive as
before. He afterwards made
several more attempts to es
cape, but all in vain ; for no
looner did he stop his fiddle,
than the Bull’s anger returned,
so that he was compelled to
continue fiddling away till near
fix o’clock (about three hours)
and until the family came to
fetch home the * cows, by
which he was relieved and
refeued from a tiresome labor
and frightful situation. He
is, perhaps, the firft man upon
record who may really be said
to have fiddled for bis life, and
who has lb truly fulfilled the
Poets idea, that “ Music has
charms to soothe the savage

It is proper, and further
curious, to observe, that this
man lodged at the farm-houfe
where the Bull was kept; and
that, as he frequently played
upon the fiddle in the even
ing to amuse the family* he
had observed that the Bull
(who always attends the cows
home to be milked) constantly
endeavored to get as near the
part of the house where he
happened to be playing, as
poflible; and always listened
with the most regular atten
tion while he played, which
fortunately struck him with
the idea of having recourse to
his fiddle, in the prefling mo
ment of his danger, and
which as certainly adverted it,
and, in all probability preserv
ed his life.

The following is the substance of

w 1 he imperial Minister is com
manded to make known to the
directorial minister of Mentz, as
well as to ail the other ministers
of the Princes and Gergianntc
States, affembkd in diet, that his
Majesty as Emperor, will not op-,
pose the present deliberations of
the diet upon the pacificatory
proposition of the Elector of
Mentz, Because his Majesty is cs
deftrous ofpeace, as any other of
the co effaces; that nevertheiefs as
a member of the Germanic body,
he fears that he shall not be in a
condition, at the collection of the
fuffrages, to declare himfelf with
in the short period fixed by the
Diet for that purpofe,that he shall
perhaps be obliged to reserve to
himfelf the period of fix weeks,
the usual period in all ocher cases
because he cannot yet afcercain in
what manner and with whom nego
ciacions can be opened in the name
of the Empire, with the certainty
or the hope of succeeding in the
re-establishment of Peace, unless
(as the proposition affords reason
to fufped) the ekdorofMencz
can give some information on this
fubjed. That moreover, and a
bove all things, his Imperial Ma
jesty is bound to consult his allies, par
ticularly the Kings of Prussia and
Great-Britain^ because from the
commencement of the war to the
present period, they had'fo pow
erfully assisted in the defence of the
Empire and nad made so many fa
crifices. His Majesty, further
cannot doubt, that in an affair of
such high importance,fjie German
corps will also coniult those pow
ers.—At any rate, as a co estate,
he will allow a free course to af
fairs,in hopes chat at theconclufion
of the deliberations of the Empire,'
negociadons for peace will not be
proposed to him alone.”
On the sth inst. the fuffrages
were colkded in the three Colleg

Palatine-Bavaria was the most
ample and the most favourable ip/
