We yesterday stpppeti'the prcss to announce,,
in the greater part of. our impression,, that Fklt-
nlNANnhad,,by a lt,Oyal Decree,ANNoI„LED ALL
THE A cal OP Tip; GOTERNF.
StENTI frog"' 'March 7, 18.10.0, to Oct. 1. 18.23
W,e, now, lay before our Itraders thl, Decree
itself, together with the extrarlinary :;)anifesto
which forms its preamble !
it is impossible to express in-terms sufficiently
strong the contempt which one , •rot. a.
ho thus comes 19rword, nt.once to .trample
upon the rights of his people, and to proclaim
to the world-his own debasement, by the acknow.
lodgment of the ranicest cowardice and hype.
crisy, and the' unblushing confession, that from
an unwortlyregard for hissown perSo9lll safety,
lig,,had, during threeyears. and a half, daily ex-
ercised functions, and given his sanction to pro.
ccedings, which, he now sayilli3
.e/tercised. and
sanctioned from nqother, motive than that of per-
sonal fear! Who can believe that he noW speaksi
truth ? Who ean.tell that his present Nlnnifesto
and Decree are not,like all the rest of bis
c.mluct sinc4,lB(2o, 'also the results of, mere per
cowakdice and timidity Who knows but

that the Duke of AN(MOLEME and the Doke del
IlivArrAng, or the one or:the other of these his
new masters, have dictated, to him that very
language which, , whitstit pretends to assert hie
fredotn, proves hirn to he,
seven if the language
be sincere, the veriest slave to his own womanish
apprehensions that has ever lived% and the basest
and most groveliinghypocrite whoever perverted
the language a
_truth to his own false, roost
despicable, ancleelfish purposes!'
It is net our, practice to apply strong epithets
to the personal character either of Monarchs or
of .private individuals. That maythe one reason

Bch y, we are at a lass for expression* to Convey
an adequate idea to our Readers of the disgust
and abhorrene with witich,the conduct of. FEIt.
otil,txp.has inspired us. The terms. which,

have employed, re have employed deliberately,
--
with u full. seine of their. import, and with a
strong conviction that, it. is, our duty, and the
duty of everphonest manrto express our feelings
and sentiments on such an occasion,ivithout
hesi-
tntion end without reserve.

What .EL commentary does the gelf.burniliation
and ignoble confession of this King of SPAIN
offer upon the declaration of Louis xvitr, viz.
that it was necessary to replace him by.force of
ot. a 1144pOtie throne, in order thatfie Might
be free to give institutions to Ids people! •
Ile himself' Ides acknowledged, that, itt.graat.
inn those institutions, he will. be intluencedynot
4 conaiderotions ofThc Tvelfare, but by .a
cciwardly dr,•„rud.o.lAujj pally or po,?•,:cr which may
find the means of inspiring him with purely sebish
und4iersonfil apprehensions ! the .quality of
institutions emanating from soit,a source, it re.'
quires not extraord.wary,sagacitx to form A'cor.
rect prognostic !

41 As for the `Manifesto itself, it- is a compound
of falsehopd, arrogance, folly,andinjustice..,
' It is',llose..that the Spanish ftevolution.has
been " preceded ,end aecoMpanied" bY "scan-
dalous excesses ;" though-it:-is indeed traethat
q.scandadons excesses" have alivatly ,bei,unto
‘Votlow" it, of which this very Manifesto
fir thi first Artd we would fain- hope the most
atrocious sample It¢ is —nulorious. toi the
world,. 'tha whatever max' have been the;
titeorepcal,,defects of the
,Spanish Constitution,
thq.geyOu.tiortxlikel) gaut4i.biktio44,becil

anguished by unprecedented and exemplary ma.
deration.

t
is false that all classes of Spaniards,‘
'soon after the Rocolution, gave iinbiic and
universal proofs of their disapprobation and.
contempt of thq 046 ustitutional system, 'or that
such proofs !luxe been given, even to am pteselt
hour.

If
is false, that it was found irupos,ible to re..
. ,
store order or justice under the Constitution ; for
reigb of justice and, of order had, been,
stored, by the expulsion of the Royalists from
the Spanish territory, previous to its invasion by
the French army.

It is falie that those,discomfitecl
ferret!. death, to the sacrifice. of their, cause for,
untilt the artifices and, the gold end other•
allurements of France stimulated '• (hitn to
action,, they remained passive under tl do-
minion of the Constitutional laws ; auk when,
:they at length took up arms, they fled• WHO tedi
from. tha first, sttcocit with the
.national troops, and:.
rushed. headlong for shelter and for safety. withia.
the protecting line of the French frontier.
It is false that all. Europe was aware • that
FE.n.DINAND, WAS in n„ state, of, captivity, and. •
that all Europe resolved to put an . end to,
the state of things in- Spain.; for,. io. say no.
thing of several of the minor States, one at,.
leest of the Powers of the first order—Great,
13yitain,.77treated FERDINAND and his Gevern-
meut as free and legitimate, and, made glut'
efforts,: not, to destroy that state of thingi,
but to, preserve it, by endeavouring ,tO,flissna4o.
France from, the commencement of that hostile.
aggression, which she has now so unhappily ac•
complislTd.

, Itris unjust, withjespeptto FianyNANb's own
subjects, as welt. as to. the subjects of othgt'
Princes, and•it is
,the extreme of arrogance and
of insolence. towards Great Britain in. prticular,
to.decret.the, annihilation of all, the acts of his
own Government during a period of three years.,
and a half, and. to violate.solemn.engagenients,.:.
bearing, his own, signature, under :the pretext that'
his participation in,them was extorted by fear.,
As respects his engagements.with,this country,-.
whose Ambassador had constant access to his
person, why did'he not lodge in' his hands a pro-
test against the consequences of thew. acts which
lienow Says were extorted from him by force,
but which were apparently voluntarily per-
rot-flied'? After such a protest, England would
have been aware.of the inutility of forming-
gagemen ts with his Government, and would 'have
exercised 4her discretion,. as to .whether- her Am-
bassador ,should or should upt~ be continued.At a
Court whose Sovereign was ascertained •to
a state of duresse.

We have not room to-day to complete the,
analysis of the trampery ;which has .thus beeq
foisted upon the world as the first act of. Franz-
NAND restoration !

It• is necessary, however, to son that it is
impossible for. him to evade the ful4lrnent of
his obligations to Great Britain] or. : eve,n..to,
British subjects. The . timvri,,publictiti9u
of the convention, in-last Saturday's Gatette,
for settling the claims of British merchants, car.-i
not be mis4nddrstdod,• and is an unequivocal in.
timation of a fixed, resolution on the part of the
English Cabinet, to exact the rigid performanc::
of its. stipulations. ,

On referring to Mr. C.tkrsiNo's Speech of the
15th,.April, 1823, on the subject of the.negocia.
Lions respecting Frauce and Spain,,it will be seen,
that it is impossible for the English Government to
allow so,soletnnLand so important a treaty, in.
volving, directly, British claims to the amount of
half a million sterling, to be disgracefully and
contemptuously annulled.
