parts of the permanent road, it was
opened Eastern Counties

OTAIIEITE.—The following memorial to Lord Pal-
merston, on the subjecubt of
meeting French interference
held in the iTownn Otahe•hallite,
was adopted at a plic
of Tewkesbury on Friday last, the mayor in the chair:—
We the inhabitants of the borough of Tewkesbury and
its vicinity, beg leave to express to your Lordship our
with the Queen and Christian people of
deep sympathy
Otahette, in their sufferings under the dominion of the
French in that island, and the contiguous island of
Eimeo. That whilst we are.anxious most carefully to
avoid any movement which might by possibility embroil
the respective Governments of France and England, we
do most earnestly entreat her Majesty's Government to
adopt such measures, through negotiation or otherwise,
as shall by specific mutual grantees ensure to the
inhabitants of the Society Isluaands, namely, Raiatea.
tthine, and Maupiti, the peaceable
Taahaa, Boroboro, Hu
and permanent posse ssion of their native soilin (row
. We
moreover urgently implore your Lordship to obta
the French Government a positive and explicit p!edge
thatanv portion of the Otaheitian population who may be
disposed to retire from that island and from Eimeo shall
be empowered so to do, without molestation or subse-
quent interference with their persons or property."
