PROPHECY OF LORD BYRON.

PROPHECY OF LORD BYRON,
In relation to the Emperor Napoleon. The
removal Of the remains Of Napoleon, from the
the Island ofSt. Helena to Paris, by the Gov
eminent Of France, was predicted by Lord By
ron 10 the subjoined extract, and is but another
veri6cltion of the W Onderfil prescieDce oftruly
great minds. Those eminent men who from,
high cultivation of their superior intellectual
powers, are capable of extending their ample
ken ovor the whole human race, in all the vicis-
situdes ofpresent and past ages-who intently
watch the characters, cnstoms, tastes, DISPOSE
tions, and movements Of nations, for the purpose
Ofexamining causes and comparing effects
who profoundly study the attributes and works
ing ofthe heart and mind ofman in all the cons
ditlons of his existence, who scrutinize facts
and seek truth by the light Of genius and the
philosophy ofinductive reason, behold reflected
in the past the incidents Of future ages. Such
predictions are often deemed superhuman, when
Rpnly a result had been proclaimed, which was
as deducible, from the abundant elements re~
he'd upon for solving the question, as that OF any
other problem in moral or physical science.
Thus Lord Byron foresaw that nation, which
lad been distinguished for Its martial spirit since
the wars ofJulius Cesar, and which had COM
quered Europe and Egypt under the victorious
Eagles ofNapoleon, would one day claim his
ashes and commemorate his deeds and the glo-
ries of France by the erection of a magnificent
mausoleum in the capivl ofhis empire.
How remarkable has been the fllflment Of
the following prophecy ofthe mighty bard of
England [Boston Courier.
"Bus where is he, the modern, mightier far,
Who, born no king, made monarchs draw his
Yesl where is he, the champion and the child
Ofall that's great or little. wise or wild
Whose game was empires, aud whose stakes
were thrones;
Whose table, earlhi whose dice were human
= bones,
Behold the grand result in yon lone isle,
And, as thy nature urges, weep or smile.
Smile, for the !ettered eagle breaks his chain
And higher worlds .han this are his again.
How must he stnlle, ,and turn to yon lone gravt
The proudest seamnrk that o'ertops the wave
His Eame shall hallow the igno5le shore,
A talisman to all save him who bore,
The fleets that sweep before the eastern bias
Shall hear their sea.boys hail it from the mast
Can glory's lust
Touch the freep spirit Of the ietered dust
Small care hath he of what his tomb consists
Naught ifhe seeps-no more il he exists;
lie wants not this: but France shall feel the
want
Ofthis last consolation, though so scant;
Her horor, fame and faith, demand his bones
To rear above pyramid ofthrones;
Or carried onward, in tho battles van,
To G,rm, like Guescliu's" Dust her talisman
But be ii as it is, the time may come,
Ills name shall beat the alarm like Ziska'
drum.t"
