The four Royal Commissioners shall appoint subordinates to control the
troops, to execute orders committed to them by their superiors, and
to report to them events as they occur. These officers shall have no
power to give any orders in their own name, or to employ force against
the inhabitants except in cases of the last emergency; they shall at
once report such cases to their superiors, at whose will they may be
deprived of their posts.
Our Commissioners shall hold office during our royal pleasure. Their
salaries and those of their subordinates shall be charged upon the
general expenses of the Kingdom; and no officer in the direct service
of the Crown shall touch one penny of the Provincial revenue.
On the other hand, the maintenance of the Provincial executive shall
fall entirely upon the Province.
