Mr. By r.FIER, of Berlin, Musician to the KING
of .PRUSSIA, has discovered a certain cypher appli-
cable as notes in music, which though in itself very
simple, easy, anti plain, is unintelligible 'to• all
who are not acquainted with the secret. It con-
sists of a musical alphdbet of five figures; which
may be learned in half an hour, even by those
who -do not undeistand musk, and with the assist-
ance of which a,pet.son may learn to play mecha-
,
nically on any instrument, in the short space of
five hours. By means of the same cypher, persons
, • -,
are likewise enabled to express words or ideas in any
,
language, to do which the now make use of twenty_
four letters. The Inventor offers to communicate
his secret by letterA to ail who wish to instrua
themselves, for al reward of one Louis-d'or, unlier
the condition that it is not published.again.

tendered his assistance to fix the rope, and other-'
