THURSDA YY, JANUAR 15,
LONDON,
1824.

A respectable Contemporary thinks that he
can discern in FERDINAND'S Decree relative to
the South American States, internal evidence that
the Manifesto is of French manufacture, that it
seems to have been originally written i❑ French,
and that it exhibits strong glimpses of French
rhetoric and French idiom. Perhaps these
seeming indications of French origin, however,
' may be safely assigned to the circumstance that
the copies of the document received in this coun-
try are translations from the Spanish into French;
and may consequently have had a colouring of
French rhetoric in receiving their new dress in that
language. We shall be better enabled to judge of
this when we see a copy of the Decree in the origi-
nal Spanish. In the mean time we can only repeat
our conviction, that the Decree itself, whether
of Spanish, French, or Russia❑ origin, is, taken in
connection with the naval preparations in France
and in the Peninsula, calculated to excite the most

serious alartn as to those ulterior views against
South America, the existence of which has been so
long suspected,andwhich we firmly believe can only
be frustrated by such a declaration in the Speech
of the- King of ENGLAND, on the assembling of
Parliament, as will render the policy of this
country, respecting South America, at least as
unequivocal and decisive as that which has
been proclaimed on the part of the United

States. In addition to the other grounds
of suspicion as to the secret manceuvrps
of the French Government, we have reason to

believe that it is even intended to send oJa to
.3outh, America the twelve thousand Sp an is h pri-
soners of war• who were taken in the campaign of
last year, and who are /till coyined in France. It
will be made a condition of their. liberation;
and of their pardon, that they shall fight under
the standard of FERDINAND in the New

World,—a condition which thew unfortuate men
will of course gladly embrace ; and;-es great num-
bers of Frenchmen may be secretly incorporated
with them, as well as a due proportion of French
officers holding commissions from the King
of SPAIN, a formidable force could thus be

sent out by France under the pretext that it
is entirely Spbnish. We shall not be surprised
if it shall hereafter appear that several thousand
Spaniards have already accompanied the eighteen.
hundred Frenchmen who are acknowledged t)
have sailed from Brest.
