THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.

The following anecdote has been oircu-
lated en- the continent, and lis veractv
vouched for. Not long since Bonaparte
with his empress visited the imperial libra
~, and among the rare works which at.
tracted his attention was one entitled :" LII
Der Ni1abzhs," written in Gothic charac-
, tiers, and containing the predictions of St.
Cesaire, bishop of Aries, made in the year
514. The emperoFs curiosity was excited,
and he directed the librarian to translated
part Of it. Chance led him to the follow
ing prediction: The emperor heard il with
some emotion, which the empress appeared
to enjoy; and when finished, the emperor
snatched the book from the hands of the Ii.
hrarian, flew into another room, and il is
said, ordered page to throw it into the
fire. But the affair got wind and as there
are copies kept OF al rare manuscripts, the
empress procured transcript OF it, which
she transmitted to Vienna, from whence 1t
has been circulated. The obnoxious pre-
Mlction is as folIows:-
@ PREDICTION, Il. d. 514
D " The administration OF his kingdom
(Fwnct) shall be 50 blended, that they
shM leave it without defenders. The hand
Of God shall extend itself over them, and
over all the rich. Ali the mobiles shall be
depriaAd Of their estates and their digni'irs.
A division shall spring up in the church of
God, ami there shall be two husbands. the
one rue and the other adulteroIs. The le-
sitim.atetfxisband shall be put . flight
There shat BE great carnage, and as great
an efusionTf blood as in the time OF the
Gsnli!@. The Universal Church and the
whole world shall deplore the ruin and de-
struction OF most celebrated city, the ca
pitol and mistress Of France. The Affairs
ofthetI temples shall be destroyed-the Ho-
Civ Vifeps, outraged, shall fly from their
Monasterirs--the Church Pastors shall be
driven from their seats, and the Church
shall be stripped Of her temporal goods.
But q length ,he' Black Eagle and the Lion
shall appear arising from far countries M
sery be to thee, O city of opulence Thou
shalt at first rejoice, but thy end shall come.
Misery be to thee, 0 city of philosophy!
Thou shalt he subjected. A captive king,
hembled even to confusion, shall a, last re-
cover his crown, and shall destroy the chill
tlren Of BRuTUs."

This following intelligence is bythe Eli.

oniRank Lord Wellington's army on the

l1oonttracting movement on the part of his
llafdship, and prodaced the battles of the
s6!h and 9th, at Busaco, near Coimbra, Ca
,osn on ihe Aiondegoa few miles from the
Atlantic. 4 general battle was expected
oathe 2Sth, which did nor take place. On

he inhabitants of Coimbra TO remove
themselves and vauables, Lord Wellington
IA, the banks of the Mondcgo and retreated
towards Lisbon: and on the 7th occupied
apostion extending from the Tagas 10 the

His head quarters on that day were at Al
cobaca, about forty miles from Lisbon !;
having his righta, Ahandfa on the Tagus,
aud his left at Peniche on the Atlantic. IL

ma with fifteen thousand men was on the
south OF the Tagus, following Lord We'll

Uairss an immediate embarkation TOOK
place, general aud decisive battle could
not be avoided. The English merchants
had waited upon Admiral Berkeley for per-
mission to embark on board the transports,
bur were denied as there was not shipping
sufficient TO take away the troops; and at
the same time limited that there was no
great cause for apprehension.
II appears from Murats account of the
INVASION Of Sicily, that his troops went
,slqav!y over IA hurricane, and returned
with great celebrity in a dead CAIN.
Letters from the French coast, received
yesterday, state, that eighteen cargoes of
American produce, which had been con6s-
Gated were carried to Antwerp and sold the
18th ut. by the order of Boraparte,
