that is the women and children (for the men would either not
amender or would be put to death), is entirely worthrof the
indent policy of despotism. Nobody hail carried it to a higher
degree of perfection than Darius, of whom Derodotus relates
half a dozen instances. lie removed the inhabitants of Cyre-
lean Dacca to the extreme east of his empire, viz. to Bactria
204); the lonians to Phoenicia, and the Phirnicians to
lonia (VI. 1) ; the Carians to Myletos (VI. 20) ; the Erettians
tosNurvi. 99). The ancient Persians, therefore, transplanted
nations like trees, and always to countries the most remote to
their own. Faithful to this principle of "biotic human.agri-
culture, the Turkish Emperor, Al urad 1., conqueror of Constan -
naive and Greece, transplanted Asiatics to Europe, to Scopi,
Zahara, &c. as may he read at length in Chalco-
wildnas 11. Mahomet 11., conqueror of Constantinople, was a
*till greater master in this art. lie brought the noblest children
of both sexes to Constantinople, which was peopled with Cara-
In4niatirs Blyrians, &c., from no less than twelve conquered
rides. But he was also no stranger to the grand idea of uniting
Greek women with negroes, and vice versa, and this fact is so
remarkable that we cannot withhold from our readers the passage
from Spandangino's valuable history of the Musselmen, which
will throw some light on the policy of the Divan and the histo-
rical learning of its European counsellors. Ile made with the
Cephalonians the following experiment to obtain a mixed race
at Constantinople.

Thus, to have Mulatto slaves, the tyrant compelled Greek
women to unite with Negroes, and Greeks with Negresses, and
for that purpose imprisoned them in 31armora, and the other
Islands lying in sight of the Capital. Perhaps some European
4getna, who visit in summer those beautiful islands, will
kquaint the public, through the medium of the Journals,
with the results of this new experiment. But as there is little
doubt of the intentions of the Divan, we only wish that the
etkilition of the Viceroy of Egypt may by some means or
other be baffled in its object.—(S'applanent to the Allgenwine
