The Paris papers relate, that, near the precincts of Guillotiere, in Dauphiny, a physician of the place, returning on horseback from a visit to a friend in the country, journeyed at his usual slow and quiet pace, when he was suddenly stopped by a female fantastically attired, who asked him for alms. He was about to give a small sum: but seeing her make an endeavour to draw something from her own pocket, he took the alarm, set off at a round trot, and had not proceeded many paces before a bullet whistled by his ears. The people of Guillotiere set out in pursuit of the Amazon, and at length found her in a field of rye busied in exchanging her beggar's dress for the clothes of a lady. She proved to be the doctor's wife.
