The last Public Proclamation made by His late Majesty King Kamehameha
III.
PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, It has come to my knowledge from the highest official
sources, that my Government has been recently threatened with
overthrow by lawless violence; and whereas the representatives
at my Court, of the United States, Great Britain and France,
being cognizant of these threats, have offered me the prompt
assistance of the Naval forces of their respective countries,
I hereby publicly proclaim my acceptance of the aid thus
proffered in support of my Sovereignty. My independence is
more firmly established than ever before.
Keoni Ana.
Palace, 8th December, 1854.
By the King and Kuhina Nui.
