FROM TILE FRONTIEAS OF TURKEY, SEPT. 1.

The plan of the Divan to people Greece with Arabs
and Moors, and t. remove to Egypt all that remain of
the Greek population, that is the women and children,
(for the men would either not surrender or would be
put to death) is entirely worthy of the ancient policy of
despotism. Nobody had carried it to a higher degree
of perfection than Darius, of whom Her odotus !elates
half a dozen instances. Ile removed the inhabitants of
Cyrenean 13acca to the egreme east of his empire, viz.
to Bactria, (IV. 201.4 thu lonians to Pircenicia, and the
Phoenicians to lonia (VI. 1), the Carians to Myletos
(VI. 20), the Eretrians to Sousa (VI. 99). The ancient.
Persians, therelorrs, transplanted nations like trees, and
always to countries Vie most remote to their own
Faithful to this principle of Asiatic human agriculture,
the Turkish Emperor, Murad I. conqueror of Constan-
tinople and Greece, transplanted Asiatics to Europe, to
Scopi, Philippopolis Zahara, &c. as may be read at
length in Chalcocondylas ll.—Mahosnet IL conqueror

of Constantinople, was a still greater master in this a'rt
He brought tl:e nablest children of both sexes to Con-
stantinople, which was peopled with Caramanians, ll-
lyrians, &c. from no less than twelve conquered cities;
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 His-
tory of Me Mussulmen, which will throw some light on
the policy of the Divan, and the historical learning of
its European counsellors. He made with the Ceplialo.
nians the following experiment to obtain a mixed race,
at Constantinople:

"Daps prop la maggior pate del terrazani (di Cefalonia) gli meno
con le moglee, e Con figlioli a Constantinopoli. Quivi quinti ehe
furono :klaoinetto, commando a quigli uomini the lasciando le
priapic moglie pigliassero dome ((Ethiopia, parimente the le donne
abandonnate mariti luro prendessero mori d'Ethiopia purl. Cio egli
fete per aver di quella razza gli schiavi bigi cive di mosso colore
et gli confine in hlarmora et quell'altre isole vicine."

Thw, to have Mulatto slaves, the tyrant com-
pelled Greek women to unite with Negroes, and
Greeks with Negresses; and for that purpose im-
prisoned them in Marmora and the other islands ly-
ing in sight of the capital. Perhaps some European
agents, who visit in summer these beautiful islands, will
acquaint the public, through the medium of the Jour-
nals, with the results of this new experiment. But as
there is little doubt of the intentions of the Divan, we,
only wish that the expedition of the Viceroy of Egypt
may by some means or other be baffled in its object !

!WEST, SEPTEMBER 29.

The brigade of troops-of the Duchy of Nassau left
us to-day, to return to the usual quarters. The military
evolutions, which were favogred by the finest weather,
attracted a vast concourse of spectators from the adja-
cent country, especially from Frankfort. The fine ap-
pearance of the troops, and the admirable manner in
%%hid) they performed their rrai.ce.rvres, afforded the
highest gr atification to the spectators, and was honoured
with the particular approbation of his Highness the
Duke and his august
