Has the word known is used properly here?

What I wanted to express is "Let this statement be known to all". But I wrote it as "Let all be known".

Is it still clear and acceptable?

Context:

A Statement

Let all be known that the misunderstanding between Rosa and me has been well settled.

Both of us announce here that we've made an agreement for permanent peace and harmony.

You are not using the adjective "known" properly. I think you are confusing it with the verb "to know".

Let it be known by all that the misunderstanding between Rosa and me has been well settled.

No, ori, your version does not work.
"Let it be known to all" (a traditional form), or "May all know that" or "All should know" or "Let it be known that" are all ways to say the same thing.
