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 coincidence with the several directions productive of those results. It is not my intention to eater into any explanatory 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 tyranny 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 malevolence 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 applicable 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 position of this President of France will assimilate closely with all those lines import; therefore it is unnecessary 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.
