The strict coincidence of events with the following prophecy, made one hundred and eighty-nine years since, and which we copy, literatim , from one of a regular file of the New-York Post-Boy , of March 11th, 1744, published upwards of sixty-five years ago, will not only amuse the most credulous, but astonish the most sceptical minds. An article written at the present moment, could not more clearly designate what has happened.— Editor Register.
From the New-York Post-Boy, of March 11, 1744.
The following Prophecy of JOHANNES LICHTENBERG , a Carthusian Monk, well versed in Astronomy, who lived about the year 1620, may perhaps divert some of your readers, and for that end I have endeavored to put it into an English dress.
[THE ORIGINAL.]
1. Wanneer den Arend sich sal aen de Lely binden, Dan sa men haest de val van't weeligh Roo- men vinden ; Der Vrancken Koningh dan sijn vleugels soo- ver recht, Dat hy gantsch Duytsland voor Bescherrem Heer verstreekt.
2. De Vorsten die in 't Noord, en naer de middagh woonen, Die sullen tot sijn will ghewilligh sich ver- toonen ; Dan sal een yder met verwonderen besien. Wat vreemde dingen dat in't Duytsche Rijk geschien.
3. De Kerken, die dus lang in dwaerg beslo- ten waren, Zyn vry, men hoort'er weer het suyvere verklaren Van 't heylighe gheloof: de Pausselijcke Macht Is uyt, en door God's roe gheen tot niet ghe- bracht.
4. Dan sal de Tooren van Kastilien oock be- ven Hier komt de kloecce Leeuw sijn heyligh Be- eck ons gheven ; Nu trilt een machtigh Iluys en wagget tot een val, Dan roept men heel verhencht: 't is Vrede over al.
[THE TRANSLATION.]
1. When e'er the Eagle and the Lilly join, You then will see the Papal Power decline ; The French King then with Wings extended wide, Shall seem to every German Prince a Guide.
2. The North and Western Powers will submit To shape their conduct as that King thinks fit ; Then shall each one with wonder and sur- prize, View what strange things in Germany arise.
3. The Church, which long in slavery re- main'd, Has now at last its liberty obtain'd ; While though God's wrath the Hierachy of Rome Is quite o'errun'd, and met its fatal doom.
4. Then shall the Spanish Monarchy be seen To tremble at the fiercer Lion's mien: A mighty House on Ruin's brink shall stand ; Then happy Peace shall soon possess the Land.
From the New York Evening Post.
IT seems to have been part of col. Burr's policy, now universally acknowledged, to mention or insinuate that persons, who were supposed to have influence, were concerned in his plans, for the purpose of impressing his hearers with an high idea of his resources. With this view, it appears that he spoke in Kentucky of drawing upon me for large sums of money. My credit there he knew stood high, and that nothing would impress the public with a better idea of his fiscal operations, than a persuasion that I was his banker. This report reached the ears of Mr. Graham, who was employed to collect all the information on this subject, and transmit it to the executive, and he faithfully detailed it, with the suspicions it excited.
Finding, however, that they were without the slightest foundation on my part, voluntarily retracted them, and endeavored to counteract the effect his former communication was calculated to produce. This appears by the following letter addressed, to me, when Mr. Graham was about to leave the territory.
New Orleans, 13th May, 1807.
DEAR SIR, I regret exceedingly that I have not had an opportunity of explaining to you in person what I am now about to put on paper. You will no doubt have heard that I was directed by government to transmit them from the western country any information I might be able to collect there, relative to the plans, resources, &c. of colonel Burr. When in Lexington, I was told by Mr. Alexander Parker and others of that place, that colonel Burr had stated that he was authorised to draw to the amount of $200,000. In consequence I wrote to Mr. Madison, from Lexington, as follows: "It is stated, with what truth I know not, that colonel Burr was authorised to draw on Mr. Daniel Clark, of N. Orleans, for $200,000. I believe it is certain that he proposed to draw on that gentleman, and finding that bills on Orleans could not be negotiated, said he would order his funds round to New York, and wrote accordingly to the house of Chew and Relf, who are agents and partners of Mr. Clark." I took the earliest occasion after my arrival here to mention this subject to Mr. Relf, and in consequence of the conversation I had with him, I wrote to Mr. Madison as follows: "Since my arrival here Mr. Relf (my friend Mr. Chew being absent) gives me the most positive assurances, that they never had any funds in their hands liable to the order of col. Burr. He urged me to look at Mr. Clark's account on their books, which I did, and now take the earliest occasion to say, that I saw no item in that account, which induced me to believe that Mr. Clark has advanced any money to colonel Burr. Mr. Alexander Parker, of Lexington, told me that Burr had offered to draw on Mr. Clark; and colonel Lynch mentioned, as I was told by Mr. Jordan and Mr. Hunt that he had forwarded the letter to Chew and Relf from colonel Burr, ordering his funds round to New York. The probability I think is, that this supposed letter was nothing more than a cover for colonel Burr's communications for Bollman, which were directed to the house of Chew and Relf, and delivered by them to general Wilkinson." I trust you will see, sir, from these extracts of my letters to Mr. Madison, that I have endeavored faithfully to perform my duty, both to the government and to yourself. Should you consider any further explanation necessary or desirable, a letter addressed to me, at the city of Washington, to the care of Daniel Brent, will probably reach me. I shall probably have the pleasure of seeing you next winter at the city; if not, I know not when we shall meet, for I leave this country without the expectation of returning.
With sentiments of great regard, I have the honor to be, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) JOHN GRAHAM. The Hon. DANIEL CLARK.
It is extraordinary that the affidavit of the writer of this letter, relative to facts before its date, should be resorted to as evidence to confirm suspicions which he there so explicitly disavows. This affidavit being relied on, and I therefore break the thread of my narrative to insert it, that it may be compared with the letter, and that the reader may perceive on what correct inferences the suspicions against me are endeavored to be hung.
MR. GRAHAM'S EVIDENCE.
[Interrogated by gen. Wilkinson.]
Quest. Did Daniel Clark, of New Orleans, ever acknowledge as a communication from himself, the paper now produced by you from the department of state endorsed "History of the trade of Louisiana," an extract of which was published in the president's message of the — day of January, 1808?
Ans. Mr. Clark once asked for that paper: he had it in his hands, and spoke of it as one transmitted by himself: he mentioned that it was in the hand writing of Mr. Chew, his clerk.
Quest. What conversation have you ever had with the said Daniel Clark concerning a Mexican expedition, or Burr's conspiracy?
Ans. There have some communications passed between Mr. Clark and myself, which I would not wish without an indispensable necessity to make public on account of their bearing upon some delicate points in relation to a foreign nation. I will, however, relate the substance of what passed, and leave it to the discretion of the court and the judge advocate to decide, whether it
would necessarily advance the purpose of justice to use it as evidence, and under what reserves and restrictions as to the publicity to be given to it.
In the winter of 1805-6, while I was acting as the secretary of the Orleans territory, a gentleman of New-Orleans informed me that Mr. Daniel Clark, of that city, had some important information, which he wished to communicate to the government, but which he did not wish to communicate through governor Claiborne. This produced an acquaintance between Mr. Clark and myself. He gave me some papers, extracts of which I copied, and sent to the secretary of state. These papers related to the affair of Mexico, and gave rise to a conversation about that country.
Quest. Of what did those papers principally consist?
Ans. That is a part of the subject, which, I confess, I could have wished in particular not to speak of, as it might be disagreeable to Mr. Clark to have it known to the Spanish government he had been engaged in making such observations, while passing through their territory, as these papers seemed to indicate. I will, however, not hesitate to submit it to the discretion of the court, upon the principles before mentioned.
Among those papers were estimates of the military force of the country, both the regulars and the militia, particularly of the garrison towns between Vera Cruz and Mexico; also of the naval force at Vera Cruz. Mr. Clark, at the same time showed me the baron Humboldt's statistical tables, in the Spanish language.
Quest. Had Mr. Clark then lately returned from a journey through the Spanish provinces?
Ans. I understood he had lately returned from Vera Cruz. I was induced, by the apparent probability of a war with Spain, and by belief that Mr. Clark's acquaintance with the situation of the country would enable him to give important information on the subject, to make several enquiries of Mr. Clark concerning Mexico. He was of opinion that it might be invaded with every prospect of success. I asked him whether, if the United States should undertake the invasion, he would bear a part? He evinced an unwillingness to have any thing to do with an expedition carried on by government, but expressed himself willing to join in such an enterprise, undertaken and carried on by individuals. He said, all they would want would be the permission, not the aid, of government; that they would cut off all communication with the country they left and establish a new empire of their own. He mentioned, hypothetically, addressing himself to me—Now suppose such a person as yourself should join in the expedition, you might be made a duke? I answered, that my republican notions would not allow me to aspire to any such situation, and that I would have nothing to do with any expedition not conducted by the government. Here the conversation on the subject ended. He asked several questions, what Burr was doing? Col. Burr had been in New-Orleans the summer preceding. I have endeavored to give a faithful statement rather of the substance and effect of what passed, without pretending to a minute detail of every circumstance as it occurred, or of the precise language used. It did not strike me, at the time, as evidencing the real existence of any such design, but as being the wild talk of an eccentric restless man. Afterwards, however, when I was informed at Lexington (Kentucky) that Burr had drawn bills to a large amount on Mr. Clark at N. Orleans, this circumstance combined itself in my mind with the preceding conversation, and appeared so suspicious that I wrote to the secretary of state the intelligence I received of the drawing of these bills. When I arrived at New-Orleans, and found that no such bills had been taken up by Chew and Relf, I became uneasy at the apprehension of raising unjust suspicions against Mr. Clark, by my former communication to the secretary of state, and I wrote a letter to Mr. Clark, at —, informing him of the suspicious intelligence I had received at Lexington, of my proceeding thereupon, and assuring him of the satisfaction with which I had received, at New-Orleans, information doing away the grounds of suspicion.
In May, 1807, Mr. Clark arrived at N. Orleans. He took me one side, and said I would recollect he had formerly told me of the existence of the Mexican Society, and of doctor Watkins being a member. I denied his ever telling me so, and expressed my utter astonishment at being charged with being a member. He insisted that he had given me the information, but I was confident, and still am, that he never did. I recollect the surprise with which I first heard of the existence of the Mexican Society,
which was subsequent to my former conversation with Mr. Clarke. Blennerhassett was the first who told me of it. I proposed giving him, to which Mr. Clarke seemed unwilling—I however did inform doctor Watkins, who had some correspondence with Mr. Clark about it, but I do not know precisely how it ended. Mr. Clark at the same time remarked, that he would himself have nothing to do with the association, from which I understood that he had been applied to.
Ques. Did not Aaron Burr visit New Orleans some time in the month of June, and leave there some time in the month of July, 1805? and was not Daniel Clark there at the same time?
Ans. Yes.
The first part of this deposition relates to a paper published in general Wilkinson's plain tale. (See Note No. 1.) It is an extract from a memoir sent by me to Mr. Secretary Pickering, in the year 1798, on the trade of New-Orleans with the country on the Ohio; and because in this paper I do not speak of the general's treason, he infers that I knew nothing of it. But I have a word or two of explanation to give on this point, which I believe will take away every argument to be drawn from it.
Shortly previous to this time I had been extremely active in protecting the Americans against the rapacity of the French privateers, and had used my influence with the Spanish government, with so much effect in their favor, that though I was not then an American citizen, capt. Cuenca the commander of the troops in the Mississippi territory and Mr. Ellicott the commissioner for establishing the boundary, wrote to gov. Gayoso, requesting that I might be allowed to exercise the functions of consul until one should be appointed by the president. This was granted. I prosecuted the owners of French privateers, put an end to their depredations in that quarter and succeeded in obtaining from the Spanish government the reduction of duties on imports in American vessels, from 21 per cent. on dry goods, and 26 per cent. on liquors, to 6 per cent. I thought it my duty not only to act, but to give information to the government which employed me; and I therefore wrote the memoir in question. Major (now col.) Freeman of the American army, was then my guest, and was to be the bearer of the memoir in question.
My new official order induced me at first, (I confess) to entertain the idea of inserting all I knew of the general's Spanish connection. I hinted this to col. Freeman; who told me that he would deem it improper to take charge of any paper containing reflections on his commanding officer. This, and the reflection that I was writing a mere history of the commerce of the Mississippi, and not an account of political crimes, induced me to be silent on the subject at that time; and the general's subsequent assurances, as detailed in my affidavit, which took place very soon after, prevented my mentioning the subject afterwards, until I had reason to believe that he continued the connection which he then promised to break, and until I was called on by my country to make the disclosure.
The affidavit then states, that on my return from my first voyage to La Vera Cruz in the winter of 1806, I communicated to Mr. Graham, then secretary of the territory, important information as to the military and naval force in Mexico; and also Baron Humboldt's statistical views; and that the interview, in which this information was communicated, was sought by myself. Astonishing!—the country was supposed to be on the eve of a war with Spain, and I, with the most traitorous intentions, sent for the second officer in the territory (not being able to communicate with the first) and there wickedly gave information, that might be of the greatest use to my country in the approaching contest.
And this is the evidence that is to convict me of being engaged in an attempt to overturn the constitution. As to the cock and the bull story of the conquest of Mexico, and Mr. Graham's being made a duke, I am persuaded it will make as little impression on the public, as Mr. Graham confesses it did on him, and though the story of the bills made him revert to this circumstance, yet when satisfied on this point, he tells us in his affidavit, that "he became uneasy at the apprehension of being instrumental in raising unjust suspicions against me, and that he had written the letter above quoted, assuring me of the satisfaction with which he had received at New Orleans information doing away those suspicions." As to the latter part of the deposition, all I can say is, that I have a most perfect recollection of having given Mr. Graham the information therein referred to—Since he does not recollect it, it must have escaped his memory. But it is in no sort material whether I gave the information or not. It is proved that I induced col. Bellechasse to

give it; and that so far from being engaged in the plan, I used all the influence I possessed to counteract and defeat it, as soon as the thing came to my knowledge. (To be continued.)

BALTIMORE, October 3.
Arrived, schr. Trim, M. S. Bunbury, from Messina and Gibraltar, 26 days.
The Spaniards and French had a severe action within 7 leagues of Seville the 22d August. The French army consisted of 20,000 men—the result was not known at Gibraltar the 27th August.
Cuesta and some other Spanish generals have resigned, and the command of the Spanish army given to sir Arthur Wellesley. The reason the Spanish generals give for resigning, is, that they could not depend on their men. Either gen. Cuesta or Romana was at Algeciras the 27th of August as a private gentleman and some of the Junta have returned to their homes.
Captain B. says that the above was bro't express to Gibraltar; he received it from an English officer. But it was not in the papers. However Captain B. brought on by one Gibraltar paper.

An Indian Cure for the Bite of a Snake.
From experience on myself and others, I assert the herb Sinacle to be a speedy cure for the bite of a Snake—When immediately applied it will kill or extract the poison, so that it will be no more than the sting of a wasp—the place must be scarified, the root chewed or pounded, and applied to the bite and some eaten. If it be some time before it can be procured and the swelling increased it will take a larger quantity and more to be taken internally, and it will have the desired effect. It is one of the first plants which appear in the spring, and not unlike to crow foot, it rises to six inches high, is distinguished from all others by its dark green color; it rises in a bunch with five notched leaves on each stalk, is smooth on both sides, it shoots to seed in the last of May, grows knee high when seeded—the leaves on each seed stalk are more pointed than others; each branch bears three or more burs, which will adhere to cloth when ripe; the root of the seed stalk dies with the stalk—it perhaps does not seed till three years old. The root in which the virtue lies, is fibrous and grows on all sides from a small bulb, is of a blackish color, has a spi-cy taste and smell; the root when dried will answer the purpose. It grows in rich timbered land and never among grass. The Mississippi and Missouri bottoms abound with it—I believe it is not bound to a certain latitude.

TO PARENTS.
The annexed cases of cures performed by HAMILTON'S CELEBRATED WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES. (Selected from a very numerous list.)
ARE presented as indubitable proof of the excellence and safety of this valuable specific, for destroying worms in the human stomach and intestines.
From Mr. Benjamin Williams, No. 30, Baltimore street, two doors above south Gay-street.
I have a son six years of age, who for four years past, has been generally in a very unhealthy state, particularly in summer; frequently afflicted with alarming convulsion fits, the whole of his little frame wasted fast, his breath foetid, and almost constant itching at the nose was excited, with other alarming symptoms. During the course of the above period, the advice and attendance of three of the most eminent physicians in Baltimore were successively procured. Each of these gentlemen, in his turn, declared worms to be the cause of the child's disorder, and exhausted his skill in attempting to expel them. Pink root, steel filings, with a variety of other medicines, were administered without the least success. It was once pronounced impossible for the child to live many hours.
I had heard of your Worm Destroying Lozenges, but with many others did not think highly of so cheap a medicine, until a gentleman of my acquaintance (Mr. Wm. S. Moore, auctioneer) in whose family they had been used with good effect, advised me to make trial of them; I accordingly gave my son a dose agreeable to directions, which soon expelled eight large worms, some of them about eight inches in length; a second dose brought away four more of similar size; a third dose being administered, no worms appeared. The child recovered and now enjoys a good state of health.
BENJAMIN WILLIAMS.
AFFIDAVIT.
Michael Duffy, residing at No. 47, Walkes street, Fell's Point, in the city of Baltimore voluntarily maketh oath that the following statement is just and true:
In the beginning of May last, my three children; a boy of seven, and two girls the one five, and the other three years of age were taken very ill, nearly at the same time, of a common fever, as I then supposed; but was soon convinced the disorder was caused by worms. They were frequently troubled with convulsion fits, and violent startings in their sleep, and with almost continual vomiting and purging, particularly the youngest. I made immediate application to a physician of the first reputation, and his medicines were administered with a confidence of success, which only increased our disappointment. The children grew daily worse, and I was absolutely without hopes of their recovery. The youngest soon appeared almost devoid of animation, and scarcely an inhabitant of this world. In this distressing moment I was told that Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges had performed many cures in cases equally desperate. I immediately purchased a box, and gave each of them a dose, which in a few hours produced the most desirable effects. The eldest voided a great number of very large worms, and the second thousands of small ones, many of them not a quarter of an inch—in the youngest they seemed to be consumed, and had the appearance of skin and slimy matter. I repeated the dose agreeable to the paper of directions, and they all speedily recovered a good state of health, which they still enjoy, though 5 months have nearly elapsed, since they were on the borders of the grave, and the death of the whole seemed to be inevitable.

TO H. LEE.
Some time last spring I was afflicted with loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever, and great debility, so that I could scarcely walk. In this distressing situation I took many things, but without benefit. An acquaintance in the country sent to me to procure a box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curiosity prompted me to read the directions, where I found my complaint exactly described by the doctor. I immediately sent for another box of the Lozenges, and took one dose, which brought away a large quantity of worms, and I felt greatly relieved. Encouraged by this, I took another dose, which was attended with the happiest effects, as it relieved me entirely, and am now in a better state of health than for a considerable time past. I have since given them to my children, and can speak from experience, that they are a most valuable medicine, and am happy to add my testimony to numberless others of their efficacy.
SARAH JOHNSON, No. 140, north Second Street.
Among the symptoms attending Worms are, disagreeable breath, especially in the morning—bad and corrupted gums—itching in
the nose, and about the seat—convulsions epileptic fits, and sometimes privation of speech—irregular appetite, sometimes loathing food and sometimes voracious—purging with slimy and foetid stools—vomiting—large and hard belly—pains and sickness at the stomach—pains in the head and thigh, with lowness of spirits—slow fever, with a small and irregular pulse—a dry cough—excessive thirst—sometimes pale and unhealthy countenance, and sometimes the face bloated and flushed.
Persons afflicted with any of the above symptoms, should have immediate recourse to Hamilton's Worm Destroying Lozenges, which have been constantly attended with success in all complaints similar to those above described.
Prevention better than Cure.
In cases of head ache, foul stomach, and for removing superfluous bile, perhaps no remedy has been discovered superior to
LEE'S HAHN'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, Which for 10 years past have been attended with the greatest success. The testimony of many respectable persons in our southern seaports has been adduced who have reason to believe that a timely use of this salutary remedy during the prevalence of malignant fevers, has preserved their health after experiencing alarming symptoms of fever.
Certificate of Wm. Devenny.
During the last nine years I have been in the habit of using Hahn's Antibilious Pills, prepared by the late Mr. Lee, whenever colds, head ache, or costiveness have rendered medicine necessary; in these cases a single dose has uniformly removed my head ache, and has generally been found sufficient to remove every symptom of a cold, if taken on its first appearance. Induced by the benefit I have received, I have for years past recommended them to many of my friends, and I have the pleasure to inform you, they have invariably succeeded in removing the above complaints.
Yours, WM. DEVENNY,

DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finer cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, and use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finer cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after using a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
