KNOW ALL MEN,

That according to private instructions given to our Deputy, he on the 10th of May issued a Protest on our behalf in the following words:
                "Whereas, the undersigned was by Commission dated Feb. 27, 1843, appointed Deputy for his Majesty KAMEHAMEHA III., to the British Commission for the Government of the Sandwich Islands; under the Provisional Cession thereof unto Her Most Gracious Majesty VICTORIA, Queen of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland;
