A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.

TilH WaR OF 101-1 PREDICTED IX 1854. This prophecy, mado at Mayence, announces the fall of Germany and of Austria-Hungary in lUI'4: There is in Germany a famous prophecy. It is called ''The Prophecy of Alayenee," and dates from 1854. It contains 18 verses of prediction of which the first nine have been fulfilled in the most remarkable manner. Here arc the verses:— I.—When the little people of the Oden shall feel themselves strong enough to shake off the yoke of their protector, and when the barley is sprouting from the ears, their King William shall march against Austria. 2. They wi'l have victory unan victory up to the gates of Vienna, but a word l'roni the great Emperor of t'M West shall make the heroes tremble on the field of victory, ami the barley shall not be gathered until he has signed the peace, shaken oil' the yoke, and returned triumphantly to his country. 3. But at the gathering in of the fourth barley, and that of the oats a dreadful sound of war shall call the harvesters to arms. A formidable army, followed by an extraordinary number of engines of war that Heil alone could have invented', shall start towards the West. 4. Woe to thee, great nation, woe to you who have abandoned the right divine and human. 5. Napoleon 111., mocking his adversary at first, shall soon turn backwards the "Chenc-Populeux," where he shall disappear, never to reappear. 6. In spite of the heroic resistance 1 of France, a multitude of soldiers, Hue, yellow, and black, shall scatter themselves over a great part of France. 7. Alsace and Lorraine shall be carried away from France for a period and half a period. 8. The French shall only take courage again as against each other. 4). Woe to thee, great city; woe to thee, city of vice! Fire and sword shall succeed fire and famine. 10. Courage, faithful souls; the reign of the dark shadow shall not have time to execute all its schemes. 11. But the time of mercy approaches. A prince of the nation is in your midst. 12. It is the man of salvation, the wise, the invincible; he shall count his enterprises by his victories. 13. lie shall drive out the enemy of France; he shall march to victory on victory, until the day of divine justice. 14. That the day lie shall command seven kinds of soldiers against three to the quarter of Bouleux between Ilam, Woerl, and Paderborn. 15. Woe to thee, people of the north; the seventh generation shall answer for all thy crimes. Woe to thee, people of the. Fast; they shalt spread afar the cries of affliction and innocent blood. Never shall such an army be seen. 10. Three days the sun shall rise upwards on the heads of the combatants ■without being seen through the clouds of smoke. 17. 'Then the commander shall get the victory; two of his enemies shall be annihilated, the remainder of the three shall fly towards the extreme East. 18. William, the second of the name, shall be tlie last king of Prussia, lie shall have no other successors save a King of Poland, a King of Hanover, and a King of Saxony. All the first part of this prophecy up to the ninth verse inclusive is verified by the year of 1800, then by that of 1870, and then by the Commune of 1871. Here are the last nine verses:

10. .Courage, French patriots; Germany cannot carrj' out the schemes of supremacy. 11. The time of retaliation ap proaches. The Tsar shall come in the midst of you to seal the alliance. 12. That is the man of salvation.

13. He shall chase the enemy of France; he shall conquer Germany until she is completely destroj'od. 14. The last battle on the field of Roubleaux, near to Paderborn, in Westphalia, shall reunite seven allied peoples (French, Belgians, English, Dutch, Russians, Japanese and Servians) against three (Germans, Austrians and Hungarians). 15. Woe to ihec, Prussia; thy seventh generation shall answer for

the wars thou hast made upon all the people. Seven generations make SOyrs. add 7, equals 210 years. The realm of Prussia dates from 1713. The seventh generation is, then, living between 1803 and 1!)23. Woe to thee, Austria! Never such a battle shall have taken place. 10. It shall last three days in the smoke of the conflagration. 17. Finally, Austria and Prussia shall be annihilated. Hungary shall fly towards the extreme East (of Europe.) 18. William 11. shall be the last King of Prussia. Germany and Austria shall form three realms—Poland, Hanover, and Saxony.

Tlic little British Army are at present assisting the prophecy of Maycnce to a triumphant fulfilment.—London Referee, August 30th.
