THE at
EaLThile Palace,Eu.—Yesterday, between two and three
O'clock P zr., the city was 'hired by a storm of thunder
and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain, which
lasted for about three-quarters of an hoar, after which
t
the weather cleared up, and the rest of the evening,
somewhat broken, was pleasant and genial, the
atmosphere seeming to have been greatly purified by
the storm of the afternoon. The thunder came from
the north-west, and passing directly over the city, pro-
ceeded in a southerly course. Two of the peals were
terrifically loud, and the flashes of the lightning more
than ordinarily vivid. This morning is extremely fine,
with a cool refreshing breeze blowing from the west.
Serious fears, however, are entertained with respect to
the effects of the lightning upon the potato crop; but as
yet it is not known to what extent, if any, it has suf-
fered from the electricity. A letter from Coleraine, in
the county of Antrim, says—
" The blight on the potato crop has become very ge-
neral, consequently the farmers are disposed to part with
their early kinds, which has reduced the price to 3d. to
43. per stone. The grain crop looks remarkably pro-
mising. We have every prospect of an early and abun-
dant harvest, .„

THE HOROSCOPE OF Tt-iE PRESIDENT
OF FRANCE AS COMPUTED BY G. T.
F. SMITH,
OF CHELTENHAM.
(From the Cheltenham Free Press, April 17, 1852 )
The. time of birth of the great Dictator has been
obtained from Paris, and said to be near one of the
clock A.U. on the morning of the 20th of April, at
Paris ; acd upon comparing the several dates with
the more remarkable events of his life that have
t!anspired, confirms me in the opinion of such time
and date being correct, from the Strasburg invasion
to the attack on Boulogne, when he was sentenced to
imprisonment for life in August, 1840; his escape
from thence, in 1846 ; down to the period of bis
coup d'etiit, the whole of which are in faithful coinci-
dence with the several directions productive of those
results. It is not my intention to eater into any ex-
planatory allusions relative to either the mental or
physical constitutions of this personage, since his own
deeds proclaim the former. It will be sufficient for
my purpose to observe upon the directional motion
obtaining in this horoscope, in order to illustrate the
more remarkable periods of his future destiny, and
although he wields a giant's power, attained by ty-
ranny and oppression, that he has crushed the national
spirit of an enlightened people, and banished the
talented of the earth, that freedom shrieked under
the expiring agonies of those brave defenders, and
that he is trampling his way to a throne over the
ruins and desolate homes of France ; with all these
to boot, the time of retribution will come, for male-
volence can have brat its day and history its page of
gloom and sorrow.
Science enables us to point with the index of truth
to the consummation cf these several changes in the
chapter of life. It has been observed " that some
may urge it is impious in man to endeavour to scan
those causes and effects, but it is obvious the Creator
governs man with reference to the faculties, bestowed
upon him."

The first approximating period in the history of L.
Napoleon that I shall notice will be that of 1853,
during the Spring and Summer of which new honours
and distinctions will be conferred upon him, when he
will obtain the summit of his ambitious bound—
when the blandishments of court sycophancy and
congratulations will crowd upon his self-proclaimed
dignities, all will be sunshine and "Merry as a mar•
riage bell." So much for his prosperous directions
in the year 1853, from spring to summer, but mark
the contrast that immediately succeeds in the year
1854, from spring to the autumn.
1854.—From spring of 1854 to the autumn his
life will be in imminent peril, indeed I cannot explain
the consequences more appropriate than is conveyed
in the beautiful lines of the poet Cowper, as appli-
cable to nations
The hand that slew till it could slay no more,
Was glued to the sword hilt with Frenchmen's* gore;
God stood not, though He seemed to stand aloof,
And at this hour the conqueror feels the proof:
The wealth he won drew down an instant curse,
The fretting plague is on the public purse,
The cankered spoil corrodes the pining state,
Slarved by the indolence their minds create.
Oh! could their groat Napoleon rise again,
How would they take up the taunting strain!
Art thou fallen, and do wo see
The robber and the murderer weak as we?
Thou that has wasted Earth, and dared despise
i it n s
thine
!
Alike the wrath and mercy of the skies.
T
raavvaer'i c has made.
e
thy glory laid
Lw y
We come with joy to observe the test,
To see the oppressor in his turn oppress'd.
Art thou the God, tae thunder of whose hand
Rolled over all our desolated land,
Shook principalities and kingdoms down,
oh fnomthpe
s p
And made the maintains tremble at his frown?
The sword shall ligit upon thy boasted powers,
And waste them as ;he sword has wasted ours.
,ris thus Omnipotence His law fulfils,
And venganee executes what justice wills.
Near spring or summer in the year 1854 the posi-
tion of this President of France will assimilate closely
with all those lines import; therefore it is unneces-
sary to offer any farther remarks. Such are the
fleeting changes coincident with worldly grandeur ;
his nativity is replete with signs of violence, and
violence awaits him at, the appointed hour, when all
that is herein written will be moving side by side
with the corresponding events of his life which time
will clearly reveal.
