tensions will be most predominant; too much vegetable food is not here proper; weak brandy and water or white wine and water are more suitable to this temperament than malt liquor. Medicines called absorbent are most proper; magnesia if costive, and the testaceous powders, if too much relaxed.

If your luminaries be in watery signs, phlegmatic humours will prevail; exercise here certainly will prove highly salutary; the bowels must be particularly attended to, for if the determination be not kept there the head and chest will suffer; be it remembered, that while you act upon the bowels, you must take care not to weaken them; if you do, the most formidable diseases will be the consequence, such as dropsies or accumulated serum. You must therefore after the use of purgatives take three teaspoonfuls of a bottle composed of equal parts of tincture of gentian and compound tincture of lavender, and spirits of cinnamon.

APHORISMS BY PHILALETHES.

(Continued.)

AMOR odiumque tum ex luminarium concordiâ discordiâque tum ex utriusque genituræ ascendentibus deprehenditur.

Thus in English:

We are to observe for friendship and enmities, in the nativities of persons, both whether their luminaries and also their respective ascendants agree or disagree.

A GARLAND OF PEACE.

Now the morning of spring with its elegant dyes,
Ascends in the east and illumines the skies,

Whilst the song of the lark lively music repeats,
And the rising of day most melodiously greets;

A garland of peace let the villagers twiņe,
Where blooming the rose, and the lily combine.

Now the new buds of hope all the feelings expand,
And the fire of the patriot warms in each land,
Whilst virtue and truth give a spring to the heart,
And a thousand delights to each Briton impart ;

A garland of peace let my countrymen twine,
Where only the rose and the lily combine.

Now the dreams of ambition are driven away,
And tyranny's night by dear liberty's day,
Whilst the morning of honour and justice displays
To the wicked unpitied its terrible rays;

A garland of peace let humanity twine,

Where blooming the rose and the lily combine.

Now the lilies of France are beginning to blow,
And the roses of England unitedly grow,

Whilst the full tide of vengeance impetuously flows,
O'er the wretch who would crush both the lily and

rose;

A garland of peace let true Frenchmen entwine
Where only the rose and the lily combine.

Yes! the lilies shall flourish unspotted and pure,
Nor the bloom from the buds shall the Corsican lure,
Whilst the Bourbons the lilies of France shall prevail,
And a dread retribution the despot assail;

A garland of peace let the nations entwine,
Where blooming the rose and the lily combine.
MARIA.

SIR,

To the Editor of the Monthly Correspondent.

HAVING been favoured by the time of birth of the Right Honourable Charles James Fox, I have equated the planets' places, and have sent you the figure for half past six o'clock on Wednesday morning, Jan. 13th, 1748. The estimate time was from 15 to 30 minutes past 6, and I have taken the latest extent, which will exactly agree with the time and nature of his death, and it surprisingly agrees with the description of his person, his genius and his extraordinary abilities, his mode of action, his firmness and strength of mind, and clearly points out the astrological cause of the short possession of his official dignities; and if you could suppose any one capable of investigating a nativity, by the rules of astrology, to be wavering or doubtful as to the real exist ence and power of astral influence, they need only compare this geniture with the events and actions of the native's life; and they must, unless entirely blinded by prejudice, cease to doubt the verity of astrology.

It would probably take more room than you could conveniently spare in one number to enter into a particular detail, so as to explain fully the harmony between cause and effect in this nativity, but you shall have it in time for your next, unless it is furnished or sent you by a more able hand, therefore I shall at present give you he calculations which produced the death of the native.

The moon's declination will be found to be 20° 55′ south, under which her semidiurnal arc is 4 hours 5 minutes in time, which corresponds with 61 degrees 15 minutes in the equator.

Then the right ascension of the Midheaven is

7th house Which agreeable to Naibod's measure of time corresponds nearly with the time of his death, and, allowing the time of birth to be one minute or a minute and a half sooner, it would more exactly agree, and certainly from the moon being in Scorpio, a watry sign, and in conjunction with Saturn, and both of them in mundane sesquiquadrate of Mars, who is in a watry sign also, point out in the clearest manner the nature of his complaint and the quality of his death and it is to be observed, the sun came by direction to the opposition of Saturn near the same time and had not long before passed the mundane quartile of Mars, and was applying also within a degree and a half to the semiquartile of Saturn converse, and all the afflicting planets were in watry signs; as an additional proof of the correctness of the time, the Midheaven will be found to have to have come by direction to the sextile of Venus at 58 years of age, which will well accord with his advancement to the post of Secretary of State; and Venus being under the earth, and occidental, exactly denotes that the honours she signified by being in mundane trine to the moon and midheaven would come late in life.

SIR,

Pimlico, March 1st, 1814.

I SEND you as under, the solutions of the paradoxes that appeared in your 2nd number.

I.

This place is under or near the pole, where Saturn continues without setting all the time he is in that half of his orbit north of the equinoctial, that is about 15 years, his period being 30 years. The other place at a considerable distance is the south pole, where Jupiter
