E HIPUBLISHED WEEKLY, AT IIOOLl LI , OAIIU, HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

J. J. JARVES, Editor. SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1814. NEW SERIES, Vol. 1. No. 13.

For the Polyneiian.Of all the pangs that hero unite,To chase dear dreams of fancy's flight,And only wake us but to show,That bliss resides not here below,There's one reserved in constant store,To make the cup of grief run o'er.It is the sad, o'erwhetming power,Of the cheerless parting hour;It is whit rends the feeling heart,When bosom friends are doomed to part;Tis what is felt which nono can tell,

Save they who once have said farewell.

Oh ! why was mixed this dread alloy,In the o'erflowing cup of joy ?Oh ! why when swells the heart with gladness,Feels it this more prevailing sadness ?

I've witnessed oft the last adieu,Of a faithful loving few,Who pirt to share no more again,Eich other's joy, each other's pain.High mountains rise deep oceans flowBetween them, if they dell belowOr, if by touch etherial slain,"They part to meet no more again;Oh then, I've seen the mournful tear,Of parting, shed around the bier;Sad tears that oft are seen to break,Down virtue's cheek for friendship's sake.These, these the drops of generous pain,That oft have flowed must flow again.

Say who e'er saw so much of sorrow,And sighed not at the coming morrow ?

. For who on earth caB e'er foretell,Who next is doomed to say farewell ?

MEXICO.Rtport on its Finances under the Spanish

Government, since its independence, andprospects of their improvement under thePresidency of His Excellency Don Antonio

"Lopez de Santa Anna; with calculationsof the Public Debt Foreign and DomesticAverage of Estimates, Revenue and Expen-diture ; to which are added Tables illustrat-ive of its Commercial, Manufacturing, andprohibitive policy, and Remarks on Coloni-zation; the whole intended for the infor-mation of Merchants, Emigrants, and theholders of Mexican Bonds.

By Robert Crichton Wyllie.(Continued.)

If the system is ever to be tried, a bettertime than the present could not be chosen,for the Dcpartarnental returns, by an over-whelming majority, secure the Presidency,for the next Constitutional period, to Gene-ral Smtn-Ann- n, and the duration of his rulewill sulfide, if not for its domestication, atleast to make the experiment. And, thatthe present administration entertain somesuch view, may be inferred from their recentpolicy, which admits of no other reasonablesolution. For, in the new Tariff decreed bySmta-Ann- a, published on the 12th lastmonth, to take effect in four months fromthat date, on all goods arriving from Europe,the list of prohibitions was enormously exten-ded. Besides Cotton thread of every class,colour and number, and coarse Cotton cloth,with less than thirty thread of warp an I weft,In One ailftrtr of n smmro inr h Upfnr nrn.hibited; all Woollen cloth, not of the first

uauty; common Earthenware; Ladies sad-'e- s;Pianofortes: and a vast manv articles

nnn, Brass and Copper manufacture, areplaced under the ban.

Now I cannot suppose that the govern-ment, in thus dealing with its revenue, sojar as the duties that would accrue on pro-hibited goods are concerned, and to that ex-tent weakening the hypothecation, of theportion of the whole duties made over to itscreditors, has done so without the foregone

termination of making up the amount inome other way. To suppose any thing else

would be impugn not abne the wisdom,M the integrity of government, and this In far from presuming to do. I always remem--,

be gratefully, that as stated in my letter toyou of the 1 1th of March last, it was Santa--tun-a

who abrogated that unjust law, passed

during his absence from power, granting tome port ot Acapulco such superior immuni-ties and privileges, as would have reducedthe goods imported by Vera Cruz and Tam-pic- o

to one third of their usual amount, andso, virtually infringing the equitable calcu-lation of the 5th part of duties, by those Cus-tom houses mortgaged to the foreign Bond-holders. Both from that wise and ,ust act,and from the circumstance that His Excel-lency is the only President of this country,who has never encroached upon the assign-ment made to its foreign creditors, I am dis-posed to think that ho will not permit theirinterests to be in.ured by any diminution inthe entries by the two Custom houses afore-said, in consequence of a policy not contem-plated when the Bond-holder- s, in lieu ofvery great sacrifices, consented to acceptthe proportions of duties awarded by the de-cree of " conversion" of 18 37, and" the lastagreement of 11th February 1342.

While the new Tariff has been framed soas greatly to curtail the number of goodsimported, tho, rates on those of licit introduc-tion are still ob.ectionably high, being withlitlc difference the same as those of the Tariffof 1837. In what relates to the Export dutyon Oold and Silver, its stipulations are moreunfavourable to foreign Commerce thanthose of any former Tariff, as will appear bythe following statement, viz.,

except by the ports of Mazatlan and Guay-ma- s,where their export is still permitted in

terms of the Decrees of 10th November, 1841and lGth February, 1342, but only on pay-ment of 1 1 per cent, on the value of the gold,and 9 on that of the silver, and to both ratesof duty 1 per cent is added, by a decree da-ted 10th March, 181-3- , where the bullion, ineither species is not sent to be coined. Theseincreased duties were to have taken ef-fect immediately, which was a very greathardship to the merchants who had the pro-ceeds of cargoes sold in faith of the pre-existi- ng

laws, but I hear, an extension of threemonths time has been granted in what re-lates to the shipment of bars and ingots bythe two Pacific ports before named. I feelconfident, that as was the case with the 15per cent consumption duty, these increasedduties will only prove that 3 times 2 does notmake six, when their pr6duct is ascertainedat the end of the year. I ventured to ex-press a strong opinion against the policyof high duties on the exportation of theprecious metals, being products of this coun-try, and always easily smuggled, to GeneralSanla-Ann- a, himself and Colonel Junco, avery gentlemanly aide-cam- p, at his owntable at Mingo de Clavo, in February last.His Excellency and Colonel Junco did notagree with me in opinion. Time will tellwho was right.

The ports on the Atlantic open to Foreigncommerce, by the new Tariff, are the fol-lowing, viz: Vera Cruz, Tampico, Mata-moro- s,

Tabasco, Sisal, and Campeche, be-longing to Yucatan; and Matagorda, Ve-lasc- o,

and Galveston, belonging to Texas.The ports open to ditto on the Pacific areAcapulco, San Bias, Mazatlan, Guaymas,and Monterey, Upper California.!

I send herewith a table of all the seaportsshowing the net sums proper to each year,received by each port, not including thesums due each year, but not paid till theyear following. That table is marked I) inthe Appendix. For the reasons above stated,its total results differ widely from thoseof Table C, which are tho right ones asregards tho total yearly amounts accruingfrom the maritime custom-house- s. Table Dexhibits also tho net amounts received fromthfc custom-house- s of what tinder the confed-eration were called Territories the frontiercustom-hous- es and the internal.

I entreat attention to the 15 notes append-ed to that Table, showing the relative impor-tance of the custom-house- s, and explaining

The above are merely the Export duties, but from themine to the port of Export, there are other inland duties,of ditfeient denominations, amounting to about 20 percent on the value. These duties greatly injure themining interests.

tit is obvious, from tne mention made of the ports ofTexas an1 Yucatan, as Mexican pirts. that the MexicanSoverntnent hasDepartments.

what matters struck me as requiring cxplanation.

The system of internal custom-house- sought to be entirely abolished, both for thesake of the revenue and the merchant.Their establishment is a peculiar featureof Spanish finance, to which the Mexicanshave adhered most obstinately, under allchanges, though their Ministers of Financehave denounced it, from the days of DonFrancisco Arillaga downwards to those ofLombardo and Echeverria. The former char-acterizes the duties levied under that systemas worthy only of their barbarous origin,burdensome and prejudicial to the agricul-ture, industry and consumption of the coun-try. The other ministers explain them-selves still more strongly, yet no legislationappears to have ever taken place on thesubject.

In reading over the "memorial" from1322, downwards, I find much to admire inthe talent, enlightened financial views, andsound recommendations, of most of the Min-isters; but my respect for Congress is by nomeans increased, by finding that what oughtto be the collective wisdom of the nation,what ought to uproot abuses and not per-petuate them, never attempted to carrythese recommendations into effect.

Of the Congress about to assemble, I havebetter hopes, for the framrrs of the organicbases of the new constitution have takencare to remedy what was a great defect inall former ones, and that was, the wantof a proper property qualification for Elec-tors, members to Congress, and Senators.The consequence was, the return of manyto the Legislature who had no stake in thecountry, knew nothing about its interests,and cared only how to cut out places andsalaries for their needy selves and destitutefriends. To all such and there are manyInternal custom-house- s, a multiplicity ofem-ploymen- ts,

and the omplicated office-creati- ngmachinery of the old federal constitution,

will ever be dear. 1 know not of a betterschool for universal suffrage-me- n, at home,than to attend the elections as they used tobe here, or as they still are in the UnitedStates. The new constitution has guardedeffectually against such abuses; and as thechoice of all the departments, excepting oneor two. has fallen on Sznia Anna, m President, I think we may look forward to an eff-icient, active and enlightened legislation, inthe new Congress.

It will be remarked that the ports bothof Yucatan and Texas are amongst the listof what the Government considers Mexicanports. The negotiations with the first werebroken off some time ago, and a fresh ap-peal will be made to arms. With the second,only an armistice, with a view to negotiation,has as yet taken place; but from that 1 lookfor no pacific result, as the Texans expectthis Government to grant their indepen-dence, and this Government expect theTexans to return repentantly and quietly,under their sovereign rule, the same as anyother Department. Consequently, the ob-jects for which each party contends, are tooopposite for any accommodation to be pos-sible.

These wars at the extreme Southern andthe extreme North-Easter- n parts of the He-publ- ic,

are much to be regretted, becausethey oblige the Government to keep up alarge standing army, and postpone the pe-riod of the reform and retrenchment so ur-gently required. In both cases, the termsoffered by Santa-Ann- a have been fair andliberal, as coming from the Executive of theSovereign to rebellious provinces; but thelatter insist upon conditions which once ad-mitted, might be claimed by other Depart-ments, and thus this Republic, which united,ought to be strong and powerful, crumblingdown into pieces, would become weak andpowerless, against armed bands from theUnited States, who, under the name of Tex-ans, would overrun the country. Santa-Ann- a,

therefore, is quite right in resistingany thing so directly tending to a dismem-berment of the beautiful and extensive coun-try whose destinies are committed to hiscare.

Before I dismiss this part of my subject,I must say a word or two about the directtaxes already decreed. By a decree issuedby Sinta-Ann- n, on the 5th of April, 1842,certain monthly contributions were to bopaid upon their offices or houses' by allshop and store keepers, horse-stablcr- s, cow-feede- rs,

donkey-driver- s, coach hirers, owners

of baths, hackney-coach- es and cars, leathermanufacturers and tanners, piggeries andcattle-stall- s, jewellers, barbers, dyers, stainera and painters, cotton and woollen manu-facturers, printers and gardeners, distillers,candle-make- rs and bakers, beer, starch,rope, pianos, earthen-war- e, playing-card- s,paper, hats, musical instruments, taverns,mills, all mines profitably worked, gamblingrooms, pits for cock-fightin- g, mules for hire,ice shops, money lenders, carpenters, em-broiders, upholsterers, engravers, carvers,blacksmiths, milliners, tin-smit- hs, silver-smiths, plumbers, comb-maker- s, watch-maker- s,

pastry-cook- s, shoe-maker- s, coopers,tailors, auctions, sale and other agencies,and all workshops. It would be tedious toenumerate all the rates paid, but the follow-ing are a few of them. Thus $2 to 12, permonth, on drug-shop- s; 1 to 10, on pawn-brokers; 4 to 10 on jewellers; 1 to 4 onbarbers; 2 to 10 on distillers; 2 reals to $6on-biscui- t makers; $15 on paper makers;4 reals to $3 on hatters; $1 to 10 on tan-ners; $10 on smelting offices or those ofamalgamation; 50 on profitable mines; 40on bull-rin- gs in Mexico; 30 on moneylenders; 10 on silver-smith- s; 12 on Upho-lsterers; from 2 to 10 on agencies of sale andothers; of a real on every milch cow;

of a real on every ass for hire; of a realon every mule, ditto; of a real on everyspindle in cotton manufactories; 2 reals to$10 on manufactories of woollen thread,cloth, &.c. Stc.

Ry a Decree of 7th April, 1842, a tax of4 rials, or half per cent yearly, was imposedupon all salaries, pensions, &c, whether ofindividuals or societies and corporations,amounting to $300, augmenting the samea rial, for every $100 above that amount.This contribution was not to exceed 8 percent, on any salary or income howevergreat.

Ry a decree of the same date, he imposeda tax of $2 monthly, on every coach or car-riage of 4 or more scats; $2 for every oneof 2 seats; $1 and 6 rials for every coach-hor- se

; 4 rials in every town with more than0,000 souls, and 2 rials in' every town withG.000, on every family servant, beyond 4and the nurses, 2 rials; 5 per cent on thevalue of the prices of boxes in the Theatres,Six.

Ry a decree of the same date, a monthlycontribution was imposed upon professions,and lucrative occupations. For instance,from $1 to $1G on Attorneys; 4 rials to $3on Land Surveyors; from $1 to $16 on Ar-chitects; 1 rial to $2 on Accoucheurs andMid wives; $1 to $1G on Rrokers; 2 rials to$12 on Curates; $1 to $4 on Dentists; 4rials to $5 on clerks employed in the Courtsof Justice and other tribunals; 2 rials to $6on Notaries Public; 4 rials to $12 on Sur-geons and Physicians, &tc. $tc.

Ry another decree of the same date, haimposed a monthly tax of one rial on everymale, in sound health, from the age of 16 toGO, excepting the military of the class ofsergeants and under, and those " religeuse"who by their institute cannot acquire prop-erty. This capitation tax was to be paid byall military officers of the rank of sub-lieuten- ant

and upwards, by having the amountdiscounted from their pay.

Ry an earlier decree of 11th March, 1841,a yearly contribution of 3 per thousand, wasimposed upon all rural and city property,called fixed, such as lands and houses, withthe view of defraying the expences of thecampaign to Texas, then intended. Thistax has subsequently been declared perma-nent, and the proceeds applicable to tne gen-eral expences of the army. The proprietorwho had money borrowed on his property,was to deduct from the interest of his credi-tor, the three per thousand on the amountso borrowed. This tax was to be paid onthe value, as per title-deed- s, unless wherethey were more than 25 years old, or wherelate improvements had been made, and thenthe value was to be appraised by Commis-sioners. Rv other decrees of 13th nnrl 21tJanuary, 1842, Santa Anna explained theji uviaiuus uuu buivcu me uuiiDi9 oi tne priordecree; excepted from the tax til proprietorswhoso properties were under the value of$100, the public lands and the centimes, andmade other important regulations.

Ry a decree dated 30th April, 1842, hefixed the value of the Stamps, and their ap-plication.

Thus we find that General Santa Anna,within twelve months has done more to estab--

Ush a revenue for his country, on a surefoundation, and to render it solvent, than allthe Congresses and Senates that have exis-ted since 1323. To the above decrees areadded many exceptions from the taxes impo-sed, explanations, directions for collection,he. Sec. In the preamble to the decree,first quoted, His Excellency founds it uponthe necessity of changing the old vicioussystem injurious to commerce, and mons-trously expensive in collection, and the dutyof every citizen to contribute to the supportof government, according to his means.

With respect to the "monstrous" charcesof collection, under the old system, I think itright to quote here what Don FranciscoLombardo says in his "mcmoria" of 1039.While speaking of the injurious and demor-alizing effects of the internal duties on com-merce, he remarks: "The cost of collec-tion may be calculated at 19 percent, whichno civilized nation spends in the collectionof its revenues, while even amongst ourselves,it is observed that the branches of the firstclass depending upon tho maritime customhouses, which assuredly are organized withlittle economy, have only absorbed about 10per cent in their collection.

If the latter absorb 10 per cent, it is clearthere must be expenccs, not stated in the44 memorias," from which table (r) was

It will seen, that I estimatedthe whole cost of collection, at only 3 J percent vide note 4.

It will be no lcs9 curious interestingto know the result of the new nnanciaischeme, adopted by Santa Anna. If the du-ties imposed be I no

the amount will be very large, ana it,His Excellency would only try during theterm of his presidency, a reduction of

duties to U2 or 123 per cent, ad valo-rem, in the whole, as recommended by theMinister of Finance Don Francisco Arillagu,so far back as 1823, and the total abolitionof all internal duties on goods whichpaid those of importation ; also, the abolition

and contentment every-where, and hand his name down to posterity,not only as the asseiter of Mexican Inde-pendence, but as the founder of Mexicangreatness and prosperity.

I now come to a where I thinkthe advisers of His Excellency recom

mended to him a course neither promotiveof his glory, nor of the prosperity of the7,433,7i:4 fellow citizens, who have to re-spect and obey him as their Chief Magis-trate.

What I to is the prohibition of thosecoarse cotton and woollen goods that aremost by the poor, in to promotedomestic manufactures of the same articlesmade here, at treble the by foreignmachinery, and under the direction of foreignworkmen, and carried on, in several in-stances, on foreign account.

It will scarcely be believed in Europe,that Mexico, with a littoral of land, on

its extended coasts, of from 10 to 520leagues, as fertile and productive as any inthe United States, or India, and as lit forthe cultivation of the richest tropical produc-tions, known in those countries, with labourcheaper than the slave labour of the UnitedStates, not pursue a policy tendingas its first and greatest interest, to call intoexistence a wealth immeasurably beyond

it has ever derived all its mines,in the epoch of their greatest prosperity,and capable of turning is called thebalance of trade, in its favour, with all thosemanufacturing nations who can supply itshall-cla- d population at the lowest prices.Yet is the case !

The authors add, that "the Government, with such amplemeans to work upon, might easily adopt a system of con-tributions which would with great advantage supercedethe ephemeral ami discredited system to which they werethen reduced."

To the Editor or the Polynesian:Sir, The poetry of Allegiance is that

" no man can throw off his native country',1but, the stern fact and the Law of Nationsas recognized at the present day, is far oth-

erwise in the strict sense of that expression.It would be more consonant with the lawand the fact, to transpose that ancient adageby saying,'1 tome countries cannot throw oftheir native subjects under any circumstancesand, 44 tome countries cannot throw off thtvrsubjects, except for the commission of certaincrimes,

In republics like those of the United Statesand Switrrrland, where tho indf frasibl

10M.

rights of citizenship ore guaranteed to na-tives by the fundamental constitution, andwhere laws are by the' Constitution forbid-den to be past, expatriating the citizen, nonative can be expelled the country, or out-lawed from its protection. In monarchies,like those of Great Britain and France, thenative subject cannot, so long as he contin-ues loyal to the sovereign, and obedient tothe laws, be expatriated or outlawed : but,when the political safety of the state requiresit, such nations can reject from their bosomsthe ingrate and the traitor ; and may, byattainder, even disfranchise him and his is-sue. Such monarchies may, in like man-ner, outlaw and proscribe the disobedient ;or, for the commission of crimes, transportto foreign imprisonment for life or a lessterm. Yet even then it depends upon thenature and avowed extent of the banishment,whether after all, the expatriated subjec t,will not still be an r2nglishtnan or a French-man, after he is banished : (i. e.) whetherhe will not still come within the sentiment"no man can throw off his country." Ifcaught in arms against his native country,the fact of ordinary expatriation, will not ex-cuse him from punishment, as a traitor. Ifthe exile be fixed, as at Van-Diema- n's Land,or any other convict colony, the excludedsubject is still, in contemplation of law, inhis own country not in the parent Isle, butin one of its branches or out-do- or appart-mcnt- s.

Great Britain can by act of Parlia-ment, entirely alienate the subject, with hisconsent, so that he might even take up armsafterwards against her. This has been de-cided but the United States cannot dissev-er its native citizens, even by act of Con-gress ; although, there havc not been wanting jurists of emtninence, who have reason- -ed cogently to the contrary. The constitu-tion of that country, guarantees to its na-tives inalienably, all the rights privileges andimmunities of citizens. The question hasnever distinctly come before any competentcourt of Judicature in the United States,whether the consent of the citizen, with theconcurrence .of Congress, would work a to-tal alienation ; but, the general opinion is itwould not. This however, must be under-stood to be the converse of the rule, " noman can throw off his allegiance," or, no na-ti- on

can throw off its subjects, except in accor-dan- ce

with the law of the land. Where con-stitutions forbid the passage of such laws,there can be none ; and in countries wherelaws can be passed to that effect, they areintended as punishments not as favor3. Tofree the subject from allegiance by way ofpunishment, would rob the vindicatory stat-ute of half its penalty, by placing it in thesubjects power, to levy war against his na-tive country.

This is abstractly a view of the relationshipsubsisting between the native country and thesubject, as Vattcl clearly demonstrates, andhas nothing to do with the obligations to alle-giance which that citizen or subject may comevoluntarily under, to other nations. A manmay swear allegiance to several nations suc-cessively, and will owe it to them all ; whileat the same time, his native country, not hav-ing disfranchised him, he can enjoy withoutcondition, all the rights which the accidentof birth at first bestowed. This is daily ex-emplified in the practice of all nations.Commodore Porter, after swearing allegi-ance to Mexico and renouncing his allegi-ance to the United States, returned to hisnative country, and without the least ques-tion was appointed Consul General to Con-stantinople. Henry Kckford, after swearingallegiance to the Sublime Porte, and re-nouncing that to the United States; pur-chased and held land in the United States,things which no alien can do in that coun-try ; and while ho yet resided in Constanti-nople, petitioned and received compensationfrom Congress for past services. In GreatBritain, the Statute 14 and 15 Henry 8. c. 4enacts 'As if an English subject go be-yond the seas, and there become a sworn sub'ject to a foreign prince or state, he shall, whileabroad, pay such impositions as other aliensdo." It has also been decided in England.- -o

T il il I O L Y N K S I A N .steering between the sentiment and the reallty of this doctrine, that "the practice' of nat-uralizing foreigners is not peculiar to the En-glish constitution ; ami thou gh the strangerthus adopted, becomes a subject op theSTATE THAT WELCOMES HIM, yet he does notrelease himselffrom his natural ullegiance to thegovernment under which he teas born." 1 Bosand Pull 413 Bac. Abrig. "Alien," a 1Woodeson 332.

An American citizen residing in a foreigncountry, may acquire the commercial privilegesattached to his domicil, and by making him-self THE SUBJECT OF A FOREIGN TOWER, heplaces himself out of the protection of the Uni-ted Slates, while within the territory of the sov-ereign to whom he has sworn allegiance."'i Crunch's Rep. 01, Sup. Court, U. S. 1804.

"Tc national character of a person is to bedecided by his domicil." 2 Gall Kep. 'JGS, c.c. Mass. 1314.

THE POLYNESIAN.OFFICIAL JOURXAL OF Tlili HAWAII AS

iiOVKRXMIlST.

HONOLULU, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1814.

Our columns in our last were so crowded,that we had not sufficient room for all theremarks which the celebration naturallygave rise to. At this hour other matters ofinterest are on hand; indeed we are so pres-sed for space, that we must beg the indul-gence of our correspondents for any seemingdelay in the publication of their contributions.But we cannot take leave of the festivities ofthe week of the 31st, without expressing ourcommendation of the good order and sobrie-ty that prevailed. It was strictly a Temper-ance lestival, and the results proved thatwine at large entertainments is not necessa-ry to give life and enjoyment to the guests.Throughout the whole, the utmost good-hum- or

and vivacity were manifested. Amongthe thousands of the populace who made thisperiod a season of merry-makin- g, it wouldbe a matter of astonishment, if intemperanceto some degree had not prevailed, particu-larly when the temptations are so numerousas in this town. In what population on theglobe should we not have found it; but herewith all our inquiries we have learned of buta few cases, and those partly foreigners.This fact speaks loudly in favor of the influ-ence of the King and his officers A dispo-sition to revive obsolete and idolatrous practices still obtains amon" certain classes ofthe indigenous population, and occasionslike the past, have a tendency to call themforth. The generation of heathen not hav-ing as yet passed off the stage of existence,this is to be expected, but the instances ofsuch conduct are rare, and excite the con-tempt and ridicule of the better informed.A few individuals came the last week tomake offerings to His Majesty according tothe old custom of the land. Upon arrivingat the fort, and coming before the Governor,they assumed to be different characters cele-brated either in their past history or mytholo-gy. One claimed to be Pele; another saidhe was Kamehameha I. "How is that,"said the Governor, " Kamehameha I, was alarge man and you are a little fellow, youare a liar; guards put him in irons." Theirclaims to preternatural powers, being sub-mitted to such a scrutiny, they made olTwiththemselves.

By the recent arrival from Tahiti we haveintelligence of a months later date. On thelast of June another battle was fought atPoint Venus, or more properly a bush-skirmis- h,

but the results to either party we haveyet to learn. A Mr. McKeen, an Englishmissionary was killed by a random shot from

one of the parties, but whether he came byhis death accidentally or not, we have notbeen able to ascertain. Tho Tahitiaus hadapproached nearer the town, but no decis-ive attack had been made. Great fears wereentertained of their firing the town ; a Ro-man Catholic mission house had been alrea-dy consumed. The English war steamerstill lay in the harbor of Papeite, and theKetch Basilisk had left it was reported forthis place. 11. B. M. frigate Carysfort,Lord George Paulet commander, arrived thesecond week of July, and saluted the FrenchAdmiral's flag. She brought intelligence ofthe recall of Admiral I)u petit Thouars andthe retrocession to the Protectorate. QueenPomarc had embarked on board the Carys-fort for Kaiatea ; thence it is said the frig-at- e

comes to this port The English mis-sionaries, it is said are preparing to leave,either for Sydney or the coast. All businessis at a Ktand, and affairs generally in a mostdeplorable condition. S. Blackler, Esq.,U. S. Consul was about leaving for the Uni-ted States.

Thc Right Hon. Lord George Paulet,the individual who has made himself soconspicuous in the annals of these islands,and whose name will endure in connexionwith them while they continue to lift theirheads above the waves, arrived at this porton the morning of the 16th. Wc have notlearned as yet the occasion of this visit, butpresume the Right Honorable Lord will feelgratified in witnessing for himself, the pros-perity of the country and its rapid advancesince his departure.

H. B. M, frigate Carysfort exchanged sa-lutes with the batteries a few hours after herarrival.
