BY AUTHORITY

     Her Majesty's Ministers desire to express their appreciation for the quiet and order which has prevailed in the community since the events of Saturday, and are authorized to say that the position taken by Her Majesty in regard to the promulgation of a new Constitution, was under stress of Her native subjects.
