The Moon in opposition to Saturn and Mercury spews

The position of the Moon and Mercury, considered with
Saturn, lord of the first, does not give extraordinary talents,

OCCUPATIONS AND MIRACLES OF KING

FERDINA N D VII.

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-

351,

tittire and feasts, and. miserable 'in the decoration of their
temples. 'the King embroidered himcelf a beautiful robe of
itith gold pallets and gold fringe, for the Virgin'
lle bad raised a superb altar, gilt, and he sometimes servetl
ltirnselfthc Ma's at the for tor the Queen of the Angels. The
Queto of the Angels was most sensible of these toyai atten-
tions, and manifested to him her content by many signs. It
haopened in particular, that one night an Ecclesiastic of the
district being overcame with uleep in the church, the Virgin
om,carcd to him as coming out of the altar—she advaaed to-
uards the Ecclesiastic, -made several turns round him, to dis-
play the elegance of her toilette, and said to him, sighing,
that her sun received the vows of the King in recompence of
the frne -robe that he had given her; that the Spdnlsh Princes
Avould not remain long without being delivered; ant) that
they must form an Order of the holy Sacrament, with which
ail the Chevaliers should be armed for his defence.
" The Priest, much touched by this, speech, awakened,
And came to me to reveal the miraculous vision ; but 1 an-
swell d by assuring him that the Poly Virgin 11,7dr:1i-eddy said
es much to the king himsrY—who in thanking her bad pro-
tlised, that on his return to Spain be would make her wor-
ship flourish over all the provinces subjected to his domi-

nion."

They have leat net! to hoax at Palk al tdcil as in t;4and.
"the Chancellor of Prance, M. IVA mhray, was a good deal
surprised on Sunday week, to sec a carriage 'drive up to his
door about the dinner hour, and some well dressed persons
demand azlmittanec—the carriage was quickly followed by
another—and another, and another, to the amount of only
fifteen. When the company were shewn in, the roaster of
the house received them with grave politeness—but begged
le4ve to ask what fortunate event it was that had afforded him
the honour of their company4—seeing that on Sunday, of all
the days in the week, he made It apoint iodine done. The
sttattger; without exception alleged the receipt of cards of
invitation from his Excellency, some of which were
accordingly produced, and tamed out to be, as our readers
may already suspect, just so many forgeries The most
Impudent part of the joke Iva:, that Met lin, St. Jean VA ngely,
Sehastiani, &c. &c. with a long list of Right Ilonoutables of
that cast, were amongst the guests allotted to disturb the
hoard of the meditative, retired, and highly royalist, M.
D'A mbray.

Greeson, who fought Gully, has challenged Shaw, who is
open •o all the world, to fight in June for 100 guineas, which
challenge has been accepted.

A .battle will be fought in a fortnight in Scotland between
Niolineux, the Black, and Cooper, who last beat Jay, for 100
guineas. Oliver has.been.retained to second Cooper; Rich•
mond and Joe Ward are preparing to start for Edinburgh,
near which the battle will take place.
It is said that the farun•rs in the neighbourhood of Salisbury
arc determined to petition agains the Corn Bill.

The openness of the weather• through the month, has given foil
vegetation to the young wht&ts, and on rich free growing soils
pushed them they are become so winter-proud, as in some districts
to require sheep and hog feeding even at this early period. The
land has worked kindly in general for beans and pease, and almost

the better kind, are down in price, frem the pressure of the addi-
tional tax ; the ordinary sorts arc scarcely saleable on any terno.

long wools are daily declining iu price:
