The San Francisco World says:—Anybody can predict general facts connected with the battles which will take place between the French and Prussians ; for instance, that a large number will be killed, and a still larger number wounded. We have determined, however, notwithstanding the ill success of seers generally in these degenerate times, to venture on a specific prophecy. At the height of some contest, and when victory is hesitating upon which side she will alight, the Prince Imperial will ride up to his august father, and with a military prescience truly wonderful;' will point out the weak point of the Prussian line. His suggestion will be at once adopted, and through it victory will be secured for the French arms. France will then be expected to rejoice with a perfect explosion of the Marseillaise, over the fact that she has got another Napoleon in the person of the delicate and dreamy looking son of the Emperor.
