Disturbed at this signal--which, by an edict published in the preceding year, was given for their attendance at the royal palace--all the citizens gathered there; and when they were assembled the late governor addressed to them a vigorous exhortation that they should defend the royal jurisdiction, which he assumed that I had injured and usurped.
