ialSt, mas recently puOliSneu work entitled ra
wells in Peru" which il well known In this
work he gives list of the crosses resulting from
the intermiSture Of the Spanish with the Indian
and negro races in that country. The settlement
OF hiexico by the Saniards took place at the same
time, and the intemixture of races has been, per
haps, greater in that country than in Peru-An
officer of our army informs us that the Mexican
soldiers present the most unequal characters than
can be met with anywhere in tho world. Some
are brave, and some quite the reverse, and pos
sessing the basest aud mos, barbarous quaiities-

The effect of such intermixture upon the charac-
ter is thus stated by Dr. Tschud: TO define
their characteristics correctly would be impossible
for their minds par,ake of the mixtures of their
blood. As general rule it may be fairly said they
unite In themselves all the faults without any Of
the virtues OF their progenitors; as men, they are
generally inferior TO the pure races, and, as men,
DerS % society they the worst class of citizens
