I was an officer in the senice of Bavaria,
when in 180:1 I was sent into Tyrol, which
came to be incorporated into that kingdom.
My regiment formed Fart of the garrison of
Trent, where I remained until 1809. The
littler part of my sojourn here was marked
by an event of which I shall ever preserve
the remembrance.
The Bavarian dominion was not regarded
with a favorable eye by the Tyroleans, and
our position in the country wax not very
agreeable. The inhabitants of Trent and
its environs exhibited towards us an ex
treme froideur, and if by chance they
deigned to notice us, it was only to seek a
quarrel to show their extreme aversion.
I need not say that this manner of living
became singularly disagreeable to the young
officers, greedy of pleasure, and how they
were ennttied by the life of a garrison. So
one day after a repast a little more copious
and gay than usual, two or three of the
most adventurous among us proposed to
present ourselves, without being invited, to
a soiree which was to he given at a house in
the country, about half a league from the
city. Their project was received with ac
clamation, and notwithstanding the grave
remonstrance of some of the wise heads of
the regiment, it was decided that the soiree
should be, bon gre mal gee, honored by the
presence of five or six young officers, who
regarded themselves as the elite of the corps
of light dragoons of his Bavarian 7.ll,oesty.

We had all abandoned our,elves to a bois-
terous joy, which excited in us the idea of
presenting ourselves at a Tyrolean assembly.
On our arrival at the door of the chateau,
the dome tic, struck with surprise, had
scarcely time to announce us when we pen
etrated into the grand saloon, which was
filled with society as brilliant as we could
have found even at Munich. But what
overwhelmed us with confusion, was to see
the master of the hou=e approach, and with
an air the most polite, beg us to be seated.
We were prepared for anything but a recep
tion of this kind; and, as we presented a
most pitiable figure, we were too happy that
one among us had the presence of mind to
extricate us from such a difficulty. He
asked pardon with an air of frankness for I .
the indiscretion we had committed, excused
us on account of the monotony of our csis- ,
tcnce—prayed the ladies to have the rood-,
nes.; to intercede for us, and succeded in
this manner to ostabli.h between the host
of the chateau and ourselves an appearance
of cordiality.
Among the great number of ladies there
was one who particularly attracted me.—
She was very pretty: her sweet and spirit
ual physiognomy, joined, altogether, with
her manners, compelled mo to give her all
my attentions; and the pretty Dorothea re
pulsed not my advances.
Every one appeared courteous and agree
able with the exception of one individual.—
His name was Ruscn; his gloomy air and
shrewd features, more Italian than German,
