WJR LV THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

We have stated that some internal disturbances have
broken out among the Sandwich Islanders. The following
are more circutustantial details respecting these unfortunate
troubles

[From the Dorton Courier, March 13.1
A gentleman of this town has favoured us with the following
extract of a letter from his correspondent at the Sandwich Islands,
dated Wha-hoo, September 8, 1831:—" Tamoree, late Kin; of
Atooi, died on the 28th of last May, and the Wand having been
formerly ceded to Rhio Rhin*, was taken possession of by Kryma.
koo as Regent. The Atooi Chiefs were excecdingly dissauslied
with the cession of their island in the first instance, and were held
in subjection only by their King bring kept here es a hostage. The
dissatisfaction was increased by an unpopular Governor being set
over them, and by other acts ; and on Sunday, the Bth of August,
some of the Atooi ptople, with Gunge Tomareet at their head,
made an attack on the for., with the intention of seizing the arms
and ammunition. The attack was ill-planned, and was consequently
unsuccessful. They were repulsed, and about 20 men and one or
two chiefs left dead. Krymakoo, with Tanaahamaha, the new Go-
vernor, shut them up in the tort, and despatched their vessels for
avistance. Since this time the islands have been in a perfect tur-
moil. All business is at an end, except the war; the vessels have all
been put in requisition to carry troops, and the natives are all the time
training and firing oil' their guns. When Kryntakoo had about
1 000 or 1,500 natives. and many Chiefs, from the 11indward
Islands, he ntatched out of the tort, and attacked the Atooi people
in their entrenchmeas. The latte' were beaten, and retrcanxi,
leaving many dead. George retired to the MOUflutigis, with only a
few followers, and the troops of the Government set cut to scour
the island. Since then the war has become altuost one of extermi-
nation, and has been prosecuted with savage barbarity. 'I he hills
are covered with dead bodies, the lands laid WM'', and the houses
burned. George is in the mountains, and is said to have about six
hundred natives with him, but they mist suffer from want of pro-
' v skins, as the island is ruined, and will probably be obliged to
submit in the course of a month."

• Rhio KM° was King of Owhyhee and other Windward hinds,
and died In England lain summer.
t George Toinaree was from the "Cornwall School," and sent
out by the Jlissiomay Society.

The American Papers mention that the new Governor of
the Castle of Ulloa, General t'opinger, had arrived there in
the Spanish frigate Sabina, with a relief of troops and a sup-
ply of stores and ammunition.
