To all whom it may concern:
His royal highness the Kipg of the Car
nival, being duly impressed with the enthu-
siastic loyalty manifested by his beloved
subjects, of all degrees and conditions, upon
this most blessed tete day, has resolved
That a proper consideration for the glory
of his regal state and sovereign care for his
loyal subjects demands the abrogatiOn of
all laws and the removal of all impediments
OF whatsoever kind or nature that may i'm
pair or interfere with public enjoyment.
In pursuance of this determination, he,
therefore, sOlemuly enacts the following
DEGREES to rule the law of the land during
the entire reign of his illustrious and glori
GUS majesty:
First-Whereas, 1t having come to our
royal knowledge that one Stockdale. col
lector OF internal revenue, intends taking
advantage OF his majestys preoccupation
in affairs of State connected with the royal
pageant to collect all the taxes of the realm,
his Office is hereby abolished.
Second-The following laws enacted by
previous government having been found to
weigh grievously upon His Majesty's sub
jects-the Registration Law, Colstabulary
Law, Election Law, Printing Law, Taxes,
and Judge II. c. Dibble-all Of the same are
hereby abrOgated and abolished.
Third-The credit of the realm is hereby
re-established on specie basis, and all Sc

or foreign, detected in an attempt at their
depreciation will be Immediately incarce-
rated in the lowest dungeon of the Donjon-

tlon OF disorder or otfense against good

leries. To testOon and decorate the same

Lastly-Sir Warren 4. Stone, the Right
Hon. ID. c. Holiday, the Hon. I. j. Scott |
ana Sir howard Smlth, Physicians IN Or |
dinary to his maiesty's household, having
a change of air and scene, |
the King of the Carnival will, therefore, be
under the unpleasant and regretful neces-
sity OF bidding his loyal subjects adieu at |
sunset to-day for a brief period of time,
to return again wh2n his health, |
in the opinion of the royal physicians, shall |
have been fully re-estabiished.
In doing SO it is with profound and |
gratifying sense of the loyalty displayed by |
his subjects of the cheerful and prompt |
alacrity with which his orders have been |
Dbeyed, and with the promise that on the
occasion of his re-entry into his capital the
splendors of to-day's pageant shall be far
outshOne in magniticence and gorgeous state. |
And now, with the best wishes for their |
health, prosperity and happiness, he bids
hem, in anticipation of his rather sudden
departure, an atfectionate adieu. Enjoin-
ing upon them during his absence I'M
swerving loyalty in their allegiance to the
Royal House of Carnival, and an unim-
paired continuance of that loving affection
already manifested for its reigning head, |
which is above all price. God save the
King.
Given under our hand and seal, at Car
lival Palace. this twelfth day of February,
4 the year of our Lord 1872. REX.
