LETTERS from various parts of Germany state, that great sensations have been excited among various classes of the inhabitants of Germany by several preachers having held forth to their congregations that the approach of the time of the Millennium had arrived, and this doctrine has been illustrated from the departure of a great number of Jewish families from different parts of Germany on their way to the Holy Land. The following letter from Mr. Niety, a merchant in Riga, has been published, on this subject:— “My son was last summer in the Crimea, and returning towards the end of autumn by way of Odessa, he heard a report that many Jewish families emigrated through that town. During his journey through Poland, he met himself many travelling Jews. When he afterwards lodged in a town inhabited by Jews, and met there with a German Jew, he entered into conversation with him, and asked him, to what country the emigrating Jewish families went. He replied, to Palestine, to settle in the country of their Fathers, having a presentiment that the Messiah would now soon come. The rich of the nation, scattered in different parts of the world made collections for the journey expences of the poor.—This account of my son excited my attention. I wrote to one of our friends at Wilna, as Poland is the chief seat of this people, and asked him concerning these movements, and the probable causes of them, to which I received, within these few days, the following answer: “‘I have also received interesting accounts concerning the Jews. There is among them a general desire to return to the land of their Fathers. Many of them are probably impelled by need, as there is a stagnation of all trade here: but many are moved by the expectation of the coming of the Messiah in about eight years. The same persons, from whom I accidentally heard this, told me, on another occasion, that fifteen years hence probably no Jew would be left in this country. In the present times of confusion this memorable people, scattered in all the world, is little noticed; but if the above information is confirmed in process of time, and more generally, that impulse among them is certainly one of the remarkable signs of the times.’—Thus far from this letter.
