October, to the effect that all Daimios or Princes 
(excepting only those of the blood Eoyal, and also 
those intrusted with the direction of affairs) should 
respectively withdraw to their principalities. 
“ Henceforth the Government make it no longer 
compulsory on them to reside at Yedo ; they will 
he called up once in three years to the metropolis 
for the space of a hundred days. 
“ The Princes of Awarri, Mito, and Kishni, 
being of the blood Royal, they will reside at Yedo 
by turns of one year each, one remaining while 
the other two are permitted to withdraw to their 
ancestral territories. 
“ A further notification has been issued imposing 
sumptuary restrictions, and recommending eco- 
nomy, both in clothing and living, to the people 
of Japan, high and low. 
“A brother of the late Tycoon has been ap- 
pointed Prince Regent since the demise of the late 
Emperor up to the present crisis. He belonged to 
the priesthood, but, owing to his high consan- 
guinity, coupled with his great talents, he has 
been summoned to this important post.
