Saturday se'nnight, as Mr. JOHN HOARE, woolsta-
pier, of Cirencester, was driving to Gloucester in a
gig, about four miles from thence his horse took

A meeting took place, on Sunday se'nnight, be-.
hind the Mill, North-well, Dublin, between GEORGE
Pll ILA N, Esq. late an Officer in his Majesty's service,
and CHRISTOPHER DALY, Esq. of the Custom-h)use,
who received his adversary's fire without any injury,
on which he fired in the air ; the parties then sepa-
rated. The friends on the occasion were ABRAHAM

The quarrel took place on the Rock-road.
General Balms, in 1712, when the Russian Army
occupied Holstein, under MENZIKOFF, commanded
the Cavalry; nc, one knew anything about his origin,
even his native country was almost a secret; he was
then encamped near Husum. One day.he invited to
dinner all his brother 'officers, and some other per-
sons of distinction ; when the party were assembled,'
he sent for a miller and his wife from the neighbour-
hood. Such an invitation from a Commanding Offi-
cer alarmed the tworthy couple; but BAUER did
everything in his power to inspire them with confi-
dence ; he wished them to dine with him, he wanted
some information respecting the country. They
were seated by him at table, and during dinner he
asked the miller a number of questions concerning
his family. This had the desired effect, and loosed
the miller's tongue ; he related to his Excellency,
" that the mill had belonged to his father, that he
inherited it as the eldest son ; two brothers were
tradesmen, a sister was married to one of the same
business, and GOD had blessed him with a family of
four children." "Se you were three brothers," said
the General.—" There were four of us," answered
the miller (who did not wish perhaps to rank a com-
mon soldier with millers), " the fourth enlisted as a
soldier ; but we have never heard of him ; he must
have been killed." It is easy to conceive the effect
this conversation produced on the other guests ; but
BAUER would not notice their astonishment till he
could raise it still higher: " Gentlemen," he ex-
claimed, " you were always anxious to know my
origin : I was born here, and you have heard the
history of my family;" he then embraced the miller
and his wife as their long lost brother. The next day
he regaled them all in the mill where be was born,
and made valuable presents to his relations, and sent
the miller's only spn to Berlin, who afterwards had
the hoaour of propagating the name of BAUER.
