From the New York Cir,


The Spanish conquests on this continent were greatly
facilitated by a remarkable superstlton-or, perhaps
faith founded upon history which had passed into trai
ton with the natvestha peculiarly strange was
TO come and take their dominion from them Both Mex
leans and Peruvians filled with this expectation Ii
had from age age been repeated by the oaces and the
Incas and Moniezumas, before the Spanard touch
ed their shores uttered their forebodng of this event
The Mexican and Peruvian nations, at the period of the
conquest betrayed origin and ancestry possessed of
the highest polish of civilization and as IN time the de-
scendants degeneraed from the founders is not strange
that they should point forward to similar race, and
await in supersous fear their period of subversion or
humiliation. They had faith to believe that the same
majestic white men, with deep blue eyes, white han,
and flowing boards, who built cities, TILED fields, made
laws and taught arts and sciences to the Azecs still
sted and would claim the country again a right The
willy Spanards not slow to strengthen this impress
sion and when Montezuma made known to Cortez the
presaee of fate the latter concurred approving
The oracle and modesy claimed be the agent sent by
destiny 10 fulfil it, The Peruvian Inca proessed in the
same manner to Pzarro. What the heads of the nation
who were the arbers of civil government and religion
believed could not fail TO impress rude and obedent
people and before striking blow, the European adj
venurers had cast the prestige of conquest Mexico
and Peru The story of the Spanish cong nests, dyed
every page is with aocy and blood is nevertheless
of absorbing interest moi unmingled with romance. No
BILE and beautiful CLEANS OF character IN the conqueror
and conquered shine out at intervals; and much as we
eplore The horrors of the scene cannot doubt that
the finger of an oyeulng Providence shaped each event
to suit its own mysterious purposes
