At a Chapter, held at Carlton House, on the 27th Day of July, 1813, the following Statute, read by the Chancellor, was added: In the Name and on the Behalf of the Sovereign. GEORGE P. R. (L. S.) WHEREAS, by the Statutes of the most noble Order of the Garter, it is provided that the said Order shall consist of The Sovereign and Twenty-five Knights Companions, together with such lineal Descendants of King George the Second as shall have been elected, and may hereafter be elected, into the same, always excepting the Prince of Wales who is a constituent Part of the original Institution; We, the Sovereign of the said most noble Order, Decree for taking, nevertheless, into our Royal Consideration, the Magnanimity, and the many other transcendent and heroic Qualities which distinguish Our Good Brother, ALEXANDER, Emperor and Autocrator of all the Russians; the high Friendship and close Alliance happily subsisting between Us; and the glorious Efforts of His Imperial Majesty for the Deliverance and Welfare of the Continent of Europe; Do, hereby, in virtue of the Power and Authority inherent in Us, as Sovereign, dispense with the said Statutes, in as far as may be required for the special Purpose hereinafter mentioned; and Do decree, ordain, and enjoin, that the Knights Companions, in Chapter assembled, may forthwith proceed to the Election of the said Emperor into Our said most noble Order; any Statute, Decree, Rule, or Usage to the contrary notwithstanding. Given at Our Court at Carlton House, under the Signet of Our said Order, the 27th Day of July, 1813, in the Fifty-third Year of Our Reign. By the special Command of His Royal Highness The Prince Regent, in the Name, and on the Behalf of The Sovereign. J. SARUM, C. G. Countersigner The individual who countersigned the Warrant.

Fisher was the penultimate Bishop of Salisbury to serve as Chancellor of the Garter. In 1837, the office was given to the Bishop of Oxford after Windsor was transferred to his diocese (though St. George's Chapel was exempt from diocesan jurisdiction as a royal peculiar). Fisher's use of the post-nominal letters GC mirrors the practice of the Lord Chancellor and Lord Privy Seal. The former ended their signature with a C while the latter ended it with CPS.

A footnote in the source says that Prince Henry of Prussia's name was omitted from the Register of the Garter; however, it does appear in the related Warrant addressed to Garter. The signatures on this instrument are peculiar. It is not clear why the King would have signed with his initials, as other Garter-related instruments generally show the normal royal sign manual (cf. <a href="https://cbaionline.org/corpus/items/show/268">the Duke of Albany's Dispensation</a>). It is also strange that the Bishop of Oxford would countersign as "Oxon." Bishops typically sign with their first name plus the Latinized name of their See, so one would expect to see "Charles Oxon" here.
