" To our deep sorrow and indignation the House of Representatives has been seduced into very illegal acts by LUDWIG KOSSUTH and his adherents. It has even executed several illegal resolutions, contrary to  our Royal will, and has recently, on the 27th September, formed a resolution, against the mission of the Royal Commissioner nominated by us, for the restoration, viz., our Field-Marshal Lieutenant Count LAMBERG, before the same could exhibit our full powers, in consequence of which resolution the said, our Royal Commissioner, was cruelly attacked by an infuriated mob in the public streets, and most barbarously murdered. Under these circumstances, we are compelled, conformably with our Royal duty, for the maintenance of public security and of the laws, to make the following decrees, and to command their execution. "1. We hereby dissolve the Diet, which, immediately after the publication of this our Royal rescript is to close its sitting. " 2. All resolutions and ordinances of the present Diet, not sanctioned by us, we hereby declare illegal, invalid, and void of all efficacy. "3. We hereby subject to the command-in-chief of our Ban of Croatia, Sclavonia, and Dalmatia, Field-Marshal Lieut. Baron JOSEPH JELLACHICII, all troops and armed bodies of men whatsoever, whether consisting of National Guards or free corps, in Hungary and the neighbouring countries, as well as in Transylvania.  "4. Till such time as the broken peace and order of the country shall be restored the kingdom of Hungary is laid under martial law; and therefore all the authorities are commanded to suspend the holding of all county, civic, or district congregations. "5. Our Ban of Croatia, Sclavonia, and Dalmatia, Josarn:BaronJELLAcuicit, is deputed by these presents as Commissioner Plenipotentiary of our Royal Majesty, and we hereby convey to him full Powers and authority, in order that in the jurisdiction of the executive he may carry out those privileges with which, under the present extraordinary circum • stances, as the representative of his MAJEsTr, he is invested.  " By virtue of our Royal full powers, we hereby declare that all which the Ban of Crotia orders, constitutes, resolves, and commands is to be regarded as instituted, resolved, and commanded by our royal authority ; and we hereby graciously command all ecclesiastical, civil and military authorities, ambassadors, dignataries, and inhabitants of whatever state or rank, of our kingdoms of Hungary, Transylvania, and all the neighbouring counties, that they execute and obey in all things commands signed by Baron JOsBPH JELLACHICH, as one of the Royal Commissioners Plenipotentiary, like as they are duly bound to obey our Royal
