PROPHECY. The following is a curious rx

tract from the Gentleman's Ma asine for July, isor. (page 618) "There is now living at 611lingham, in Rent, a most eccentric old gentleman who assumes to himself the faculty of second Bight, and has, for several years, predicted the fate of empires arid the fall of ftonaparte. At the time of this declaration, there was a general expectation of peace, which was really ratified hut at the old gentleman stood firm it) the opinion he delivered, a:il speaks with exultation of some recent events which have confirmed them. Before the treat y of Amiens was cortcluded, he declared that it would not last, and this country (England) ought not to expect it for, said he. I mapart must be a greater man than he now i- ; it will be by opposing this country that he witl become so he will 20 on, becoming higher and greater, and will makt victory til! he com; - to the confines of Russia, where will be fought the last great battle, in which Bonaparte will fall and die (politically) his death will bring to light a greater general than lie has ever been w ho will really perform what Bonaparte pretended to do when he ae.quired power make the nations of the world happy. This general he says, will he a descendant of David, who will turn his attention to the .Jews, gather them altogetner, ana leading, tneni home to their own. country, lay the foundation tf their future greati v as 4 hat at the time all Christendom shall he subdued to him, and the fate ott he country ! e the fulfilment of the 27tl chaoiet- of Eekiel. The peiod when these greal events will tae place, will be wheu three vca - an I a half are passed, after the 1 im highest exaltation, a tlu honors attained b c Bnapai tnc A Boston s :; hag made a vroyage round the ivorld, ) id maottts ;i ,ad 15 tlays. including 3 and a halt month; spental Valparaiso. 8hc ivent round Cape Horo, -visited the Sandwich slands, dischanred and ty.K in load ;u Canton, and came home by the Cape of C od tlt)pe, AU the foreign Ministers tesidenl in the lr.

This ;s tfie government that promised to make Frenchmen forget the horrors ol their revolutions, of which, it now appears, then were hy their agents in a great measure the authors. Even the tyranti) a" Bonaparte is regretted. If he was ambitious, say they, he at least rendered 11 s independent and powerful. What a change for this high minded nation ! The time is hist approaching when the di tinguished exiles who have sought r fu on our happy shores, will be c.ii'.c 1 hark to support the independence of their country, and to assist in raising the French name from the degradation to which these puny Bourbons have reduced e. I hope the conduct of our fellow citizens towards t::esc distinguished men in such as will be remembered by them with pleasure hereafter, and thus prove beneficial to US, w'e.o are greatly beloved here by the nation at large. 1 found our minister at Paris highly rh spec ted, though lie did not appear to me to be entirely satisfied with the pre lent state of affairs at least such v. us ijw impression. 4. Is addition to the foregoing, we learn til ; the Bourbons are so fallen in the estimation of the royalists of France, as to seem already deposed. Austria will insist on placing the young Napoleon 111 the spat of Louis the XVIIIth. Important event', may be e.p cted British influence in France v i! fall with the Bourbons. N. Y. Columbian.
