PROPHECIES.
70 he Eaisor Of ae .Nsrcan,ile AsDsr.ise

To the Editor Of the .Ncrcan,i!e .Iluer,iser.
Sin,
According to the prediction of st. Ce-
sire, who in the year 500 was bishop of
Arles,' IN The province ofl.anguedoc, great
events were 10 take place between The
years 1900 and 1909. Part of them have
been already accomplished. He saws,
" ihere shall be war; a peace of short
continuance some partial events in both
IhemIsphcres an almost general conyen.
uon amongst the crowned heads several
scourges, IS FIRE, shipwreck, earthquake,
linunda;ion, famine, plague, &c. God IN
his wrath, will punish mankind, but will
preserve his chosen to repeople the world.
a new order OF things will take place, and
continue for Thousand years. Men wiz
then relapse into a state of inp,rty, and
become objects on whom the Divine
Wrath will be poured OUT"
In the year 1923 a member ofthe Irish
Parliament predicted befo,e the whole
house many events which were TO haor,cn
IN Europe, spoke ofthe troubles which af-
forwards broke out in iceland, and pro-
phecied us preservation.
Miss Labrpusse, who was born in The
cry of Liboorne, in France, fore,oId The
Revolution, the re-eslablishment of reI;gi
on, and the tranquility which took place
ct he beginning of the present century.
Ncstrada,nus French astrologer, who
wrote in the year 500, predicted the de-
sruction of the altar and the throne. He
says, in one Of his prophecies, Betweca
the signs OF the Virgin and the Balance
shall come chief to reign in France -
we now witness its fuliIment. Its well
Known TO every body that the consteIla,i-
on of the Virgin governs from the 2ad Of
August 10 the 22d ofScptember, on which
day until the 22d OF October il is succee-
ded by that of the Balance and during
this latter month Bonapsr,e (now Empe.
ror) arrived in France from Eeyo,. Ii
appears 10 me that heis designated in the
Apocalypse and in the Visions of Daniel
by the name of "the great Beast with ten
horns, which shall destroy many king
doms, and shall subdue the leonard" Il,
Is evident TO me that ne has been placed
on the throne of France To execute the
DEGREES of Heaven. x.
