MARCH 5. .I.MNESNIMO.. • • N.ITIVITY OF BUONAPARTE. THE NATIONAL REGISTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NATIONAL REGISTER. SlR—About a month previous to the total defeat of Buo. siaparte and his armies by the allies (and the happy change resulting from it), I sent you his nativity, at the time I sup: posed he was born, with my opinion thereon, that he would shortly experience a total overthrow of his army, if not death itself (and at that time he was gaining advantage over the allies). Surely no one could be so presumptuous as to say he would be so obstinate and blind to his own interest (even admitting the former part of my prediction to have takes place), as not to accept the terntt offered him, as the only alternative to secure him on the throne of France. As you gave insertion to my former letter, I intended sending this sooner, but my employment in another way prevented me. I have calculated the most important directions of his na vity, and whatever fears he may be under in respect to his personal safety, it's my decided opinion his life may be pro tracted till his 59th year, when he has such a train of evil di rections operating, as I think cannot fail to cut the thread of life. At about 43, fortune seems to have deserted him, his sun had set. At 44 and about six months the Sun and Wirs were (from the motion of the Primum Mobile) in a mundane parallel, tl:e one being posited above, and the other below the western horizon, which was the ultimate cause of his dis- asters. As I sent you the positions of the stars in my former letter, I shall omit doing it now, and leave it entirely at your option whether you give- the following remarks on it insertion or nut. Jupiter in the tenth, going to a trire aspect of Saturn, lord of the first, Mars, lord of the tenth, applying to a sex tile of Jupiter in the tenth. Sol Strong in conjunction of Cor Leonis, in sextile to the tenth. Five planets angular, these united and powerful positions must be allowed to con fer very great dignities and honours. The lord of the first in the seventh, with Mercury, opposing. the Moon in the first, he forms desperate plans, which are the cause of his own disgrace, The Moon going to an opposition of Mercury. imnredi ately after to the square of Jupiter, denotes two wives, and their ultimate separation from him. The Moon in opposition to Saturn and Mercury spews madness and folly, or subject to the epilepsy. The position of the Moon and Mercury, considered with Saturn, lord of the first, does not give extraordinary talents, but a most profound, thoughtful ; subtle, and reflective man ; 155 obstinate, rash, and a projector of plans hoidering on despe- ration: At about 43 his sun had set, when fortune seems to have turned her back upon him. 'At 3G and six months the Sun and Mars were (from the motion of the primum mobile) in a mundane parallel, the one being posited above the other below the horizon. • At about 5-9 the Moon will meet the mundane parallel of Mars, at the same time will be in mundane square of him. aid in semi-square to the ascendant, which I think will ea. danger his life.

The occupations of King ,Ferdinand during his captivity in France were alluded to by Mr. 'Whitbread in Parliament. We have been, through the favour of a valuable Corre spondent, in possession of the authentic document, setting forth the holy and miraculous works performed by Ferdi nand, and we bare been prevented only by the overflow of temporary matter from making an extract for the improve ment of our readers. The document is a Sermon preached by Don . Blaz de Ostoloza, Chaplain Major of his Catholic Majesty, and his Confessor. The following is an Extract. The Confessor begins by giving a picture of the life of the King at Valency " The King," says he, " rose at eight o'clock, beard mass. breakfasted, made afterwards a party at billiards, entered his closet to read his letters, or some portion of holy writ, en:- broidercti at the Tambour till two o'clock, at which time he took a short airing in a carriage—b• dined on his return— made a short prayer, received his brothers, or - those who were admitted to pay.their court to him, supped, and before going to bed recited with all his Household the Lita.nie ,- . which he toned himself. 4. An Agent of Napoleon, whose impious presence he was forced to endure, entp!oyed all means of seduction to draw the Infant from his holy occupations. He brought a troop of female dancers from Paris, and even his own wife, to en deavour to charm the Kin;; but I perceived by certain signs • (adds the Confessor, whose words we translate literally), that the breasts of these women, indecently exposed, were begin. fling to have a dangerous effect on the Prince, who was ready to fall into the seventh deadly sin. 1 admonished him in time, and like the slave of Potiphor; Don Ferdinand escaped these new sirens. The sing was above all things incensed at the poverty of the chief altar of the final isle of Valency ; and at their being in the Chateau a pl Iyhouse, while there was neither a chapel nor an oratory—while the people were luxurious in their fur-
