ANGLO-ISRAELISM.

r TO THE EDITOit. * Sir, —The aejx,:npanyiug extract, from a y leading article in the Londou Daily Telet yrajih, bears strikiugly ou the tneory we - Augio*lsraelites are endeavouring to spread * abroad that 1 hope you will be able to lind Li space for it in your paper. Tho writer is 0 descanting on the reception of a deputation , ot Freucn Canadians by the Marquis oi r> Lome. The French (Jauadians, it a appears, number, at least, a million is of souls, all devotedly loyal subjects 1 of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, but all in 9 literary and social sympathies, still children of Old Franco. The article then proceeds : — 41 It will not be an excess ot (Jhauviuism to observe that while the fact of a million of French-speaking people having so long lived and prospered under our rule in tho full enjoyment of their religion and their customs, shews our capacity forgoverniug alien races, there is not a single community of Knglish* men on the face of the earth is subject to any foreign Government. \Ve rule over Frenchmen in Canada and in the Mauritius, Spaniards in Trinidad and Gibraltar, Italians at Malta, Germans iu Heligoland, Dutchmen in South Africa, Chinamen at Hougkoug, to say nothing of millions upon millions of Asiatics ; but where is the smallest strip of territory in which Knglish-3pe:iking men live under a I foreign flag and obey the laws enacted by a I foreign governor So much for the Dally Tde.tjraph article; now for the application. ■ In the liible will bo found a remarkable prophecy concerning Israel, as follows :— ; •'Thou shalt reigu over many nations, but they shall not reign ovor thee." ► We, British, reign over many nations, but nowhere the wide world over, not iu one solitary instance, will there be found a B. itish community subject to an alienljprince. Is this only, as our opponeuts say, another of thoaa curious coincidences by which they allow we mike out a plausible story, but still only a coincidcuco, startling, perhaps at lirst, or is it an exact and literal fulfilment of a prophecy ? If it be so, then it at once establishes our claim to be the people of whom, and to whom, the prophecy was said.—l am, &c., Anglo-Israel.
