and withdrawal of our Deputy a s our own and declare that we will no more sit with the British Commissioners, or be responsible for any acts of thiers which may encroach on the rights of foreigners.
                The Rt. Hon. Lord George Paulet and his Lieutenant John Frere, having enlisted soldiers under the title of "the Queen's Regiment," maintaining them as a standing army out of funds appropriated by us for the payment of our just debts, which expense we consider quite uncalled for and useless; they having enforced their demand for the payment of the money by a threat of deposing from his trust an Officer of the Treasury, although contrary to the orders of the King and Premier to him, made known to the British Commissioners;
                By these oppressions, by the trial of natives for alledged offences against the native government, cases which come not properly under their cognizance, and by their violating the laws, which, by the Treaty, were to have been held sacred until we hear from England; we are oppressed and injured, and feel confident that all good men will sympathize with us in our present state of distress; and now we Protest in the face of all men, against all such proceedings both towards ourselves, and foreigners, subjects of other Governments, on the part of the Rt. Hon. Lord George Paulet, Captain of H. B. M. Ship Carysfort, and his Lieutenant John Frere, R. N., and take the world to witness that they have broken faith with us.
