Rev. CHAR. XIII. VERSE 28.--" Here is VIII
dom, Let him thar hath understanding count
the number Of thr beat for it is the mum
Der Of man aud his number is tx hun
dred three fcore and fix"


This verse has employed the abilities Of ma
ny learned and ingenious men. Various names
and applications have been dilcoyered, wherein
the precise number 666, occurs bur il does
not feen, that any of them can in every par
tcuar, be referred to the bealE alluded to in St.
John. -.


With the utmof refpea to the writings Of
,hc celebrated men who have hitherto coniider-
ed this fubje6t, beg leave to offer coniec-
turc Oh it, chiefly becaufe the coincidence at
tending the explanation appears to me mott ex-
trsordnary.


The number $50, in Roman numerals, is
rsprefented thus DCLXVI, which tranfpolcd
thus, DUX CLI, feenS to point out Bonaparte
as the beat known to ST. John; for he was
frh know n ii the year 7o4, as DUK r (Dax
or military man in I7s9, as CT, or CoJM ;
and now he has aGurned I. or tide of Lnbera-
tor.


The following coincidence may f-rvc 70 in
create the probability of fuPpohton, viz.
DIV is 5I5-the fun of whole figures is II
CL is I5o-the fun Of whotc figures is 6
l. is l'-the fum
