PRoPHEsy AND HIsroRY.-.The forty fourth and
forty fifth verses of the eleventh chapter of the
the book Of Daniel, contain the following predic-
tons;
"A. But tidings out of the east and out of the
north shall trouble him therefore he shall go forth
with great fury to destroy and utterly TO make

above passage applies to the late news from Europe
lof an unexpected alliance between the Russians s
Persians, against the Turks. If Mr.. Scott had
written his commentary after reading a modern

described by the terms "great ostentation' and
|" great fury" We will only add, that should the
whole prediction contained i'll the text be found 10

between the Turks and other nations: for he shall
