Is it only the direct or reflected action of, the solar beams, with in the torrid zone, which blackens both the brain, the blood and the humors of the Africans; oris there any other con nected or added to that physical cause ? 1. It is pretended that the decendants of the - Portuguese went to, and fixed I their residence in the heart of Africa towards the year 1450, are become per fect, negroes as to the color, the wool of the head and of the beard, and, the fea tures of the pysiognomy; that the de cendants of the Arabs, who invaded a part of equinoctial ' Africa in the seventh century, are become real negroes and that they cannot be distinguished, from the" in habitants of Senegal and Angola: that ihe decendants of the Jews, who. tfier'the ruin of their nation, fled into the1 south ern provinces of Africa and Asia, have all been metamorphosed more or leas in to negroes, in proportion to the degree of the heat of the country in which they fixed their residence. If all these fact3 were certain., and, moreover, if it were certain thai those Portuguese, those Jews and those Arabs, have not crossed their race with the negro race, it would be de monstrated that the heat of the climate is the true physical cause of the variety of hue, in the human species ; and it' would be the opinion preferred by us, were it better grounded by proofs and facts. 2d. But it seems certaia that the ne groes, - who propagated ; between them selves in cold countries, never lose their soot-or eboq color; that the whites, in the most burning climates of Africa and Asia, although becoming to & certain de gree, more tawny, never become like ne groes, "nor like moors ; that the moors, after having flourished for as many as twenty or twenty-two generations in Spain; left it with the same color which their parents had when they came to it ; -thai the negroes who live for SSOjrearn in the cold or temperate countries of America, have lost nothing of the spe cific signs which characterize the. sub stance of -their brain, of their blood, of their humors, of their skin, of their head,' and of their hair. 3. Heoco it results that to the influence of climate must be added the influence of some other cause, in order, to metamor phose the whites into negroes, or moors ; and by supposing; the white race to be the primitive race, it seems that that cause ought to have been in a more or less re mote time, some, unusual disease whofe consequence have been transmitted from parents to children. We know that the human species is li able to an unconceivable number of indis positions, of capricious diseases,? which successively make their . appearance on earth; cow with, the same symptoms, then with symytoms' totally different ; and of which we may read the history in the works of the naturalists and of the phys iologists, of diverse ages. Among these indispositions, and whimsical diseases, there have been arid there are still occa sionally,', some" which, metamorphose al most suddenly unexpectedly, -a wMtemnri into a moor, with respect to color, as we may convince ourselves of - the' fact in a number of works, and in particular in the works "of a celebrated physician and sur geon, who combined, in his speculations and researches, experience to theory, This is Mr.' La Cat's Treatise on the color of iKt human skin, in particular that ofthe negroes aud oh the metamorphoses of one of these colors nto anotherj either vcctdently or at the tnomtntof birth- -' i . i.-' '.' It is proved by a number of facts which cannot be suspected and contested (as any one may see both in the works we have quoted and in. a number c other works whose authority cannot be equivo cal 'and doubtful) that in' Ethiopia; negro parents give birth .to white children" who remain white, and that elsewhere white parents give birth to black children ; with this diffeence;, however, that it happens more frequently that negro 'parents give birth to white chilareni tnan it happens tnat .white parents give birth to black children: that ; which is a proof that the 'white 'color is the primitive1 color of men, that the black color is but a, degenera ted color, and that 'occasionallyi among the moors, nature seems to retake her rights,' as we may say. among the Ethi opians, she seems,' sometimes ta forget herself. Whatever may be this specula tion; and conjecture, the . fact, is certain and : incontestable; and this fact, viz: the mclambrphosis of color from white to black and from black io white,' is "air that is in teresting and decisive on , tbe present topic, - THus the different color; among men, may tome primitively eiiherfrom disease orexist 'at the moment of birth, as w'see iti 'still, ' occasionally, proceed in both ways. ',... ... ;4. . The explanation of this phenomen on of the change cf one color into the other,Jraay interest physics and medicine. Our idea on the subject is as follows: ' Lei that mucous juice" (pigment cells) rele mucosum, which affords nutriment to and blackens the skin of the negro, fortu itcusly get rid, by means of some intern al revolution, of those black atoms which natuaHy color it; or in retaining !them, let it cease, by the narrowing of. the in ternal channels by which it is conducted, and cf the internal corpscles cf the skin; which receives it, to carry, under the ep- iJermus, those coloring atoms ; the negro, shall loose his fifie black hue, and shall become of an ashy or whitish color. , - " Great emcacy bftlie Financial Pro- rlslc; or congress, r Ctrrespdndene of tip New Yotk Timei.

It insures to the Government alUbat is needed to keep the machinery moving un til July, 1664, and will tend greatly to restore public confidence in the ability of the United States to meet all obligations. It is now known to be the intention of Mr. Chase to avoid issuing a single dol lar more of legat tender, if possible, and bis fixed purpose is to check any inflation of the currency, and to reduce by every expedient the;extraordinaryprice of gold. It - is estimated that the receipts into the Treasury will be sufficient in excess of the ordinary expenses of the Government to pay off the whole debt, on' thelst cf July, 1864,' will be only equivalent to the net profits of the loyal States for one year, and the annual appropriation of one tenth of these net profits will extinguish the debt in ten years. : This .remarkable state of facts has already aroased an in creased' confidence in public securities. Subscriptions to the five-twenties loan, which for several weeks past had almost entirely ceased, are now coming in and daily increasing.
