ITOCTANTATION OF 01;N1':RAL, MAITCAS:D.
" His Foceetiency the General retruttlted, with-
sorrow, soon alter 1)...s in thew States, that
'Oat! persons dischated , front t,4e Setytte by the
Pioelama6on of the 22d i st. cherish,d preten7
sions which were diroctly contrary to the Treaty
coneltided at Paris by the tlielt Allies, fur the
good 'of the inhabitants of these islands. The 4th
'article of the said Treaty runs thus :---( Till the
Constttut ion shall be d;avrn up and approved, the
existing Constitutionfot the several lonian Islands
Shall remain in force, and undergo no chan`ge, ex-
cept such rts way titlesolved upon by his British
I‘Pojesty i,n Connoil: Prom this article it is evi-
dent, that- till the introduction of one common
Colt,;titution for the united Islands, each 'of them
Imlst.be enverued according to that Constitntion_
wheh cx seed at the time of the signature of the
Maly• Not tlfstanding this,` tae peekons dis-
charged Awn the Setth'te Lave a'ssertetl, that only.
doe Constitution prevails in theta ithnth, itarntly,
that of 1803, and that all the C;oustifutions which
his Majesty has given to the several islands since
that period, are null and void, and Ow senate of
Corfu is, in fact, the Representative Body ofall,the
• Xonlan Islands.• A giiingt such pratensiOns, such

false interpretations of the letter and spirit of the•
above quoted article, it wool() be vain to employ
the langnageaf reason,, for they are maintained
with an obstinacy which is equalled only by their
fallacy. 'fierce, circumstances have compelled his
Excellency to draw the attention of his Majesty
to this'cireumstance, and'his Majesty has been.
pleased to declare his will in a Cabinet Ortler
x.c,elleHiy was already officially acquaint-
sscl with the existence and the spirit of this order,
wheat he published his proclamation of the 22d,
htit-lutt could not then quote the words of tire or-
der eitielf, bccatite it had not been officially cam-
utuniCated to his Bxcellency. This has been now
done, and his Excellency thinks proper that the
following extracts front it should he made known
to the Public. The Cabinet Order having quoted
the article of the treaty applicable to the case in
goestion, proceeds---' and as the above-men-
tioned Coustitutio3 is not yet prepared and ap-
proved, his Royal aighness, considering what has
passed, andittliging that it might be proper to
kri&vim his Milicity't: will in regard to rime
provisiOnal administration of the Islands, has been
pleased in the name of his Majesty, and with the
advice of his Privy Connell, to ordain by these
presents, that time Government Which subsisted in
the islands at the titue,of the said Treaty, shall re-
main hi forte as provisional Governments, for the
if•parate administration of the itlandi, till the
said Constitution shall be drawn dud approved,
or till a change shall' be. nt tde in the said On-
,.erottionts, or in some tif them, by an Order in
Council, %With his Majesty tnay issue in the man-
ner prescribed inithe Treaty itself. Iris Majesty
