The Government having departed, which has been overthrown by the popular verdict and the Regent admiral Mr P. Koundouriotis having resigned, regency was undertaken according to the Constitution and the Laws of the State, by Her Majesty, the Queen Mother Olga.

Her Majesty entrusted us with the composition of the new Cabinet. Having sworn before her the standard oath, we immediately proceeded in summoning the just elected National assembly, that it undertake the regulation of the affairs of the Country.
Being fully aware that the supreme interests of the Fatherland command the preservation of order and the bridging of the gap, opened in the country by the universal popular vote disapproving oligarchy, we will take every measure to restore the Constitution and the validity of the Laws. Generally and indiscriminately the citizens recover peace of mind, which they had lost during the period terminated by the elections of last Sunday. The Greeks already rendered equal and free, must be absolutely confident that, obeying only to jsutice and the Law, they will fully enjoy the protection of their legal interests. We appeal to the generous feelings of the Greek people and the National Army, that they provide their contribution to our work.
