Ferdinand's first manifesto against the emancipated Co ltish:a of Spain was issued at Madrid on the 'A, and is given in OUT columns from Mottelay's Etude. It afflicts to legislate fur these once-proud &penile:ides as nisi tAlly as in the days of his ancestor, Philip of Bourbon, when Spain exeseised and ounded control in the New World. This document has been issued, we arc convinced, at the suggestion of Di Borgo and the French Cabinet, and has been some time prepared. By it the wretched despot, who now tramples on Spain, with scarce a foot of usritory in the New World, declares, that the political constitution of the Spanish Monarchy is fur ever abolished in his domi nions in America; and, like the " Thrones, dominations, princedoms, virtues, powers, " If these magnitic tides yet remain " Not merely titular," Whi:b we find ill Milton, Ferdinand calls on " his Vice " toys, Courts of Justice, Captains-General, Gov !mum '• and Intendant', and charges the Must Reverend " Archbishops, Deans, and Chapters of the metropolitan " churches and cathedrals of 11S kingdoms of the Indies and the Philippines, to execute, each as far as they are " unmoved, his Royal will." The raving of the bed 'smite in his cell, who fancies himself a Monarch, and crowns b isfevered head with straw, isnot more impotent than thisdecree of the Spanish tyrant, ',regards all SoutbernAme rica. These provinees have been long independent republics. " The political constitution of the Spanish Monarchy," denounced by this manifesto, never existed Mere at all ; the iron:els of this document knew that Well : hut this is only a pretest ; the real object is an assumption of authority over America; and this decree is intended, we have no doubt, as the Feredd of some new attempt by Ferdinand and his allies on those shores. The deep designs of France sod Russia ose the New World are dissembled, but not abandoned ; and it is now our deckled impression, that nothing but the strongest menaces of armed opposition by Great Bri- Lilo and America, will prevent their immediate execution. Enfeebled Spain, of herself, is utterly impotent ; any squa dron sailing from Cadiz, will be, in efflict, French. This decree, concerted for the purpose, is the precursor of such an expedition, we are convinced, either to Mexico or Peru, all the resoui ces of which, order a private treaty, are now sup plied by France; the flag alone of such a squadron will be Spanish. flow will our flovernment act under such circum stances? and what instructions have been given to the British Admiral in the Mediterranean, Sir Ilarry Neale? Will he, with his force, oppose the sailing of such a squadron ? for we are persuaded the attempt will soon he made. This I eig decree opens with a laboured detail of the revolutions in Spain, Piedmont, and Naples. In its commencement Car tyrant attempts to extenuate his own deliberate perjury. '• The violence, - he says, " with which several carps of '• my armies, turning against my royal person the arms " which 1 had put in their herds, compePed me to recog - nise and swear to the Coastitution on the 7th March, ltritr." Ferdinand may attempt to lay this flattering unction to his soul, and eirmlate the damning sophistry through Spain. But bow is America implicated in it? The Constitution never was rccognistitl in any of her pro 'inem ; from the time Moral° quitted those shores, the do minion of Spain had ceased in the New World. Mexico soon after became independent, and nowhere was the authority of the Cortes reetvised ; yet this decree, vainly Legislating for these countries, declares " their govern - molts are re-established conformably to the laws and " ordinances existing before the 7th of Mardi, lreaU, " and that the political chiefs, the provincial deputations, '• the Constitutional municipalities, their stcretarits, of Han, and dependents, are immediately to cease their functions." Notiiing of this kind, under the Con stitution of MOM, existed throughout America ; and, there free, as regards these independent Republics, the decree of Ilse tyrant is a men beldam jamess : but it has been framed, not to revoke the pest, but to answer future purposes, which are now in preparation, and will need the utmost vigilance on the part of our Cabinet to defeat. The plot is gradually thickening, and we shall soon one the whole plan disclosed. iVrom the Fealls of Mandeb Jan. 12.1 • aI•DRID, JAN. 2. l'ese King our '4overeign has batted the following Decree : •• Thc violance with which several corps of my armies, taming against any Royal person the arms which I had put in their *wok io.opellisi me to recognise and swear. on the 7th of March. Ill* to the political constitution of the Spanish monarchy, could not fail Si. attract the attention of all the Sovenigns of Europe. Their tfroc.s were endangered by the horrible time which had been com mitted against mine. • Masters of the government, the conspirators and their ac cemplices did not fail soon to throw aside the mask under whicb they hail disguised the true object of their inglorious denim'. lUmiled by their triumph, they dad not dissemble that the ronsti eitu* of Cadiz W 3. not the final object of their desires, nor Spain the :NAT theatre where the spi ri t of rebellion was to display its Oultifel fury % •• ale soarers of sedition sad anarchy spread among the ploplt —the spoliation awl humiliation of the elevated classes--the gross insults, both in words and deeds, directed against the majesty of my person and all the Royal Family—the usurpation, sometime' , sue reptitious, sometimes violent, of my legitimate authtwity—and, lastly, the MITIdaiMIS degrada:ion of the holy religion of Jesus Christ, barbarously insulted and persecuted in the persons of its ministers—left no doubt, even to the least clear-sighted, that, in the dark inwhinatitms of the secret societies, Spain was irrevocably condemned to cease to be a monarchy. " The revolutions of Naples, Turin, and Lisbon, contrived one after the other, by the same means, and on the same principles, completed the conviction of the Sovereigns that no throne amid be in safety without cutting off at once all the heads of the Ilydra which threatened to devour the universe, Such was the object, equally noble and important, of their frequent meetings. Vet. tainly, but for the resolutions which, for the salvation of the hu man race, prevailed in the Congresses of Laybai h and Verona, a great part of civilised Europe, deluged in its blood, would now be the prey of ignorant and presumptuous refiwnis. " A single effort of the powerful Emperor of Austria sufficed to put an end, in a few days, to the troubles of Naples and Piedmont. A similar effort of the Most Cl *. 'an King sufficed, in like man ner, to make the edifice of the Constitution throughout thc Penin sula fall to ruins on its authors. Emboldened by the presence of my well-beloved cousin, the Duke of A ligouleme, and his valiant anny, the immense majority of my subjects hastened to overthrow the trophies which stupidity had erected to Revolt, and to re.esta bliah the ancient institutions which h.ul made the happiness of their fathers. Conducted by Victory, the Son of France flies to the ►anks of the fluadelete; he attacks--he carries the 'Frocsidero—be fills my oppressors with terror, and, at length, I and my faultily are free. Olory he to Ord ! " In the midst of the griefs with which my heart is affected at the sight of the condition to which three years of suffering have reduced my kingdoms, I have seen with satisfaction that my Se. preme Co uecil of the Indies, moved by its constant teal for the gout of my service, was raw r to propose to me, by its deliberation of the 30th October, the immures which appeared to it the most proper to alleviate the evils caused by the revolutions of the Peninsula in that part of nay possessions.. Adopting the opinion of the said Council, I ordain as follows: " I. In all my dominions in America a solemn Te Ikstn shall be celebrated, in gratitude to the Almighty for the blessing which, in his infinite mercy, he has granted to the whole nation, in pre serving me and all my Royal Family safe and unharmed, amidst such great and continual danger. " 2. The Political Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy is for ever abolished in my said dominions in America. Their liovers ments arc re-established conformably to the laws and ordinances canting before the 7th of March, 181*. " 3. 'fin Political Chiefs, the Provincial Deputations, the Con autumnal Municipalities, their Secretaries, Officers, and Ilepen dents, shall immediately rase their functions. " .1. The newly-established Courts of Justice shall also cease their functions. " 5. The Militia created by the Cortes, under the name of " national," shall be inimmliately dissolved. The individuals com posing it shall give up their arms and equipments before they re turn to their homes. •• 8. The suppressed communities shell return to their convenes, and be reinstated in all their possessions, comprehending all those which have been alienated in any manner whatever. " 7. I confirm the favours and employments which may have b.•em granted during the Constitutional tiovemment, in my pos- , sessions in America ; provided. however, that they arc not de rived from the Constitution, that tiny are not of new creation, and that those who have obtained them have not rendered themselves unworthy of them by their conduct. " 8. With the exception of what is determined by the pre ceding article, every office which may become vacant by the dis charge or unjust removal of him who held it, shall be restored to him, if he desires it, with the exception of him who shall hare been put in his place. In consequence, I order my Viceroys, Courts of Justice, Captains-limn - al, fiovemors, and Intendants, and I charge the most Reverend Archbishops and Bishops, Deans and Chapters, of the metropolitan churches and cathedrals of my kingdoms u. the Indies, of the adjacent Islands, and of the Philippines, to fulfil anal cause to be executed, each as far as he is concerned, my Royal will, such as it is here above expressed." " Done at the Palace, the -- of December, The King, oar I.llUttf, desiring to recompense the services and the fidelity of the Minister de Cum y Errata, Von Lopes d'Alda zaz, and the Intendants of the Army, D. Ant. Gongora and D. Joachim y Sans, has, by a decree signed by his hand, nominated them Directon-General of the Revenues of the Kingdom. Father Conlon, Provincial of the Jesuits in Spain, had com manded all the priests of the order to celebrate muses, in gratitude for the happy deliverance of the King of Spain ; and all those of the society who are not priests to offer up prayers. The Nth of May and the Ist of November arc fur ever happy days in the annals of the society. It is with a feeling of pride and pleasure that we behold Lord Byron giving all the aid of his presence, his purse, anti his influence, to the cause of the Ilreaks. His extra ordinary mind it. commensurate with the great objects be fore it, and is fitted to give due weight to all the councils which prem.' front it. His views perfectly coincide on this subject with those of his Majesty's present Govern ment ; 810 he is actively engaged in giving effect to objects of high political importance, and which we trust will eventually be• attended with complete success. It was the shameful bowls to which they had fur centuries been sub jected by the Turks, that at length roused the Greek po pulation to rescue themselves from the reproach which their slavery had brought upon them ; and to counte , stance and give aid to such a cause, front the beginning, was worthy of a British people. It is worthy of us to assist in upe • g the Temple of Freedom to a people who had been so lung and so barbarously driven back front its gates. 'rite Holy Allies frown upon the enter prise ; but their measure of infamy is fall, and they dare not openly arm in opposition. They feel, that to introduce into their near neighbourhood not the language only, but, the practical spirit of freedom, is to lay the axe to the root of their power. A Constitutional Greek empire rising up by their skle is, to them, as much an object of dread and hatred as a Constitutional kingdom in Spain or in Italy ; but they cannot overcome the obstacles which stand in the way of their putting it down. The triumph of the Greeks serves to give a steady direction to the popular mind, in ether countries, and to show that a struggle with tyrannic utOtt may be litaintaitted with success, when the genuin e energy of freedom is once fairly roused. This it is that alarms the pious potentates who have so devoutly taken Christianity under their care, and clubbed the , strength of their sceptres to put down all resistance to legitimate despotism. The late Foreign Secretary woukl, we know, have taken his full share of this sort of glory, and was well prepared, backed, as be had taken good care to be, by a strong standing army, to have grappled by the *lie of these worthy Monarchs, to quell the rising spirit of liberty in Europe. His successor is, we are sure,a much better man, and a much more enlightened S;stesman : Canning has, moreover, the valuable lesson of recent events before him ; he is the member of a Cabinet, which, from such events, must have learnt wis dom: they must, ere this, have 'wen taught, that to take part, however indirectly, with the Allied Sovereigns—to ,act on their polluted 11111M11111, or in the spirit of their holy league, would be the worst possible policy, both as it affected the interests of our domestic and foreign commerce, and the security of all those soirees of national greatness which make us what we are. Mr.('a►ning must, by this tune, be well aware that the hest political relationship, and that which weaves itself twat closely about the heart, , is that which is bound up with the interests, and honour,' and character, and prosperity of the nation—that all. sympathies with foreign despotism are extraneous and Ulh , natural ; he cannot with safety take partnership in staib: commis.- Events tiara taught this truth;—al thatch now passing before him teaches it. The inferences are ' as clear as they are instructive ; Mr. Canning, we earmstly hope, will profit by them : he must ; or, in the present crisis of Europe, we ma•: be ruined utterly. — Russia is, at this momelit, acting with the most atrocious perfidy in the heart of limey. She understands her own interi'st, and pursues it without remorse. 11cr object,— and in this she has ;measlier' but to well,—is to sow the seeds of dissension, and to turn to the ds,itruetion of both par ties the spirit of discord she may excite in each ; the thief that kindled his torch at Jupiter's altar, and then robbed his temple by the light of it. It is the aim and wish of England to restore the Greeks to virtue and to freedom. A simultaneous effort is making here to raise again this isnot people to the rook of men : but, elated and grateful as we know they are, for this ninaifelitation of British feeling in their favour, their great reliance must be upon themselves ; they must act in a spirit of union, which they must not suffer to be broken, or even to be disturbed Their cause requires that they should prise onward with undivided strength. They have nothing—nothing on earth to trust to, but the Providence of God and their own fidelity. All the achievensents of their most gallant seal will yield them nothing, the instant they cease to act in concert, and the will of one is no longer the will of all. They can only strike with energy while they act in unison: dissension will ---- -- --- " Turn all their fairest hopes to shame and ruin." founded, as it would present melancholy prospects in the future emancipation of the African race. This letter as serts, that there are upwards of a thousand free blacks and people of colour within these Islands, and that scarcely an instance has occurred within the recollection of the writers, of their having ever employed themselves at free labour, though the wages of hired labourers have been from ten to twelve guineas a year, with 141 , allowance besides of food, clothing, and all other nicersaries. This statement is at direct variance with those of Mr. Wilberforce and others on this subject :—" Since the dissolution of the late black corps," says Mr. Wilberforce, " many of the dis " banded soldiers have maintained themselves by their " own agricultural labours, and have manifested a degree " of industry tliat ought to have silenced for ever all im putations on the race." Again, it has been stated, and not contradicted on any good authority, that litany hun dred American negroes, who were encouraged to desert in the Southeni States during the last war, were landed by us at' Trinidad, and have worked since, as hired la bourers, for the planters, with so much diligence and good conduct, that they are now universally regarded as a valuable acquisition to the colony. Mr. Sseele's treatment of his negrues in Barbadoee, to whom he let his land, as tenants or copyliolders, in mall parcels, taking the rent in produce, and nearly doubling his income by such management before his death, is a strong instance in favour of the industry of the negro, and betrays up disinclination to free labour. In fact, we are persuaded the West India proprietors must contemplate as the basis of any arrangement, the ultimate emancipation of the negro nice in all the Islands, with the freedom of the rising generation, guarded by all those prudent restric tions necessary for the security of die proprietors, in persona and property, as well as for the welfare and protection of the Negroes theniselves. The question cannot now be evaded, it will be pressed on Ministers early in the Session, and the redemption of a recent pledge demanded at their hands. The subject is one that requires the calmest and fullest investigation. Justice and humanity both im periously demand, that no hasty or ill-considered decision shall be come to. The safety of our colonies, and the lives and patiperties of thousands, are committed in the issue. Both are too serious to be sacrificed to the intemperate zeal of the party who have act them selves up as abolitionists, and who have no interest in the measure beyond a furious and prejudiced zeal. We re fer to some extracts from a simple but sensible little pam phlet lately published on this subject, in the form of a dialogue between a red-hot abolitionist and a plain country farmer, which will be found in our coluiniis, and which gives a striking picture, in unpretending language, of the efforts and motives of those who are now confederated, with a holy zeal, for the emancipation of the Blacks and the ruin of the colonies and planters. I.ct . them but be united, and tiny may chain fortune to their standard ; but if disiraction continue to rend their councils, every hope is lost. Russia, actuated by purpos.n the most selfish, has suelciently shown her disposition to dark and dangerous Itztrigfie; but we trust the Greeks arc fully alive to all her ins tons agency, and will act in the spirit of that admonition from their best friends, which would counsel them to preserve, in every step they take, that mutual co-operation in which alone consists their safety and their strength. One of the most important questions that will occupy the attention of Parliament in the appreaching Session, will be, the great subject of West India interests, on the pe titions for the abolition of Negro slavery. In fact, whether we consider the, millions of property at stake, the safety of our valuable possessions in the Western Hemi sphere, or the situation of eight hundred thousand negroes, now dispersed as slaves throughout those islands, to whose greedy ears the all-important decision will travel with almost the rapidity of sound, we arc arc fully justified in saying that no question of more importance has occupied the attention of the Legislature for years. We would wish to see it dircussed with temper and with judgment ; the subject is much too serious for mete declamation. The fiery seal of the abolition advocates ought to be moderated on one side, while the West India proprietors should be prepared to make every reasonable concession that hu manity can call for, on the other. A crowd of petitions may be laid on the table of the Mouse by Mr. Wilberforce and Mr. Buxton; but we all know bow petitions of this sort arc procured: they arc signed, for the most part, by Individuals, who, as Mr. Baring happily expresses it, " quiet an over-timid conscience by subscribing to mis " sions, and affixing their signatures to petitions of this " sort." The majority of the petitioners through the country parts of England are utterly ignorant of the merits of the question, and influenced only by strong solicitation or a blind and prejudiced zeal. Yet these kind of phi lanthropiets are very careful always of their own interests: with them, "godliness" is ever looked to as "great gain ;" no individuals guard their own worldly monopolies with more jealous cares When the proposition was lately brought foitirirflby Brougham, t 6 give the people in general cheap beer, and thus put within the reach of all a salutary beverage, at a reasonable price, it was warmly opposed (as Mr. Baring pointedly remarked) by Mr. Buxton, himself a brewer, who, while he was en ' deavouring, by every influence he could command, and all the arguments he could bring forward, to destroy the pro perty of thousands in the colonies, defended his own mo nopoly, and the interests connected with it, a ith the utmost jealousy. Under such circumstanc:x, and with interests at stake so vast, Milliliters would he guilty of the grossest and most cruel injustice, if they suffered the ignorant impatience of the abolitionists to prevail in Parliament ; or a theoretic humanity, which coats Mr. Wilberforce and Mr. 'Saxton nothing but a few speeches and a few groans, to destroy the vested rights and interests of thousands ; entailing, be sides, irreparable ruin on our valuable colonies. These gen tlemen, with affected moderation and generosity, may talk of compensation to the colonists ; but have they calculateal the amount ? It has been stated that it would take the monstrous stun of near two hundred millions to indemnify the West India proprietors on the emancipation of their slaves, and cover their losses in pro perty, manufactures, and plantations, all of which, the owners contemplate, would then be useless or in ruins. The West Indians deny the principle of pretended compen sation to be just, unless the value of their lands, manufac tures, improvements, and stuck, arc also allowed theta. We are no advocates fur the continuance of sable bondage: we wish it never had existed at all, anti that our valuable colonies could have been cultivated without African negrocs; but slavery has, in fact, existed in all ages ; the very records of holy writ are full of it ; Rome, in her day of greatest power, was crowded, with slaves ; In classic Greece society was on the NOW footing ; all through the East, this sort of bondage has existed in every period of its history. Thus, whether religion, antiquity, custom, or tradition, are appealed to, the abolitionists most equally fail, when contending till principle for the sadriew . extinction of slavery in the Islands. We are ouraetecsunelterably convinced that sable slavery cannot be perpetuated in the colonies, and that the principle of gradual but ultimate emancipation must be conceded. In fact, mantunissiun to a certain degree, how ever limited, already prevails through the Islands: num bers of free blacks inul people of colour are found there; they either have been slaves or are descendants of slaves, manumitted as a rewind for peculiar fidelity, for general good conduct, or same important service rendered to their masters.
