by the Grace of God and under the constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, hereby solemnly protest against any and all acts done against the constitutional government of the Hawaiian Kingdom by certain persons claiming to have established a Provisional Government of and for this Kingdom. That yielded to the superior force of the United States of America, whose Minister Plenipotentiary, His Excellency John L Stevens, has caused United States troops to station at Honolulu and declared that he would support the said Provisional Government. To avoid any collision of armed forces and perhaps loss of life. Upon the facts being presented to The United States Government undo the action of its representative and reinstate the authority of the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands.
