FREDERICK Selene, Esq., the Chairman of the
Society, took the chair. He was accompanied into
the hall by Mr. Pritchard, the British Consul at
Otaheite, who took his seat at the right of the chair.
The Rev. Mr. Thoner, of Cambridge, opened the
meeting by prayer.
The CHAIRMAN then stated that the meeting had
been called for the purpose of expressing the sympathy
of the Society with their missionaries at Otaheite,
with the missionary churches there, with the Queen
of Otaheite, and with those natives who had been
driven from their homes to seek refuge in the moun-
tains.—(Hear, hear.) A dark cloud was resting on
the missions of Otaheite, which it was beyond the
power of man to penetrate—hut their comfort was
that the Judge of the whole earth would do right.—
(Cheers.) The missionary labours at Otaheite were
suspended, the churches were dispersed, and the
Queen had been under the necessity of flying from
her country and taking refuge on board an English
ship. These things had all been occasioned by
an apparently insignificant circumstance. Four or
five years ago some French Jesuits had attempted
to land in Otaheite. The Queen had objected
to their doing so—by stratagem they had effected their
landing. Their object was to subvert the simplicity
of the Gospel. The Queen exercised the right which
she possessed to order them off the Island. They
left, but not a hair of their head was hurt. For this
supposed insult the French demanded a compensation
of 2,000 dollars—this sum was raised by some
friends 'of the Queen and paid them.
Shortly afterwards the French returned and
demanded 10,000 dollars ; this was a sum
which it was impossible to raise. The alternative on
the occasion of the first demand, which had been
complied with, was the bombardment of the principal
town of the island. On the occasion of the demand
of the 10,000 dollars, the alternative was the protec-
torate of France. The consent of the Queen had been
obtained to the protectorate by stratagem. Having
become peotectors, the French soon declared them-
selves sovereigns, the Queen was deposed, and sought
refuge on board an English ship of war. It was a
proud thing to think that wherever the English flag
floated there was a certain refuge for the oppressed.
—(Cheers.) Since then the labours of the missiona-
ries had been interrupted, and their personal liberty
had been infringed upon ; they were not permitted to
go on shore if they were on board ship, or if on shore
they were not permitted to leave the island. He had
seen it stated in the newspapers that the Missionary
Society had sent a deputation to Lord Aberdeen, and
that Lord Aberdeen had stated, in his place in Par-
liament, that the Society had made no complaint to
him whatever, and that they had stated that the
liberty of the missionaries had not been infringed
upon. Now that conversation had taken place before
any evil had occurred, except the evil of the Protectorate,
against which they had always protested as a great
evil, because they knew that as long as that continued
it would be impossible that peace and concord could be
preserved in the island. But his Lordship had, at
the very time he made that statement, two letters its
his possession which showed a very different result.
Those letters, which described the then existing state
of things in the island, had been transmitted to Lord
Aberdeen's office four or five days before, with a re-
quest that they might be immediately forwarded to
Lord Aberdeen, as it was considered probable that
questions might be put to him in the House of Lords,
and that he might wish to see those letters before
he replied to those questions.—(Cheers.) His
Lordship's memory on that occasion had been re-
markably tenacious as to what had taken place a
year ago, but had been perfectly oblivious of that
which had occurred within a few days.—(Cheers.)
He was sorry to mention this, for it was always his
desire to show a feeling of respect for those in high
places—(Cheers)—but he could not help feeling that,
if the same injuries had been inflicted upon any other
community than their own, more notice would have
been taken of the occurrence.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. A. FREEMAN was then called on to read
a statement detailing the state of Otaheite. The
statement, after giving a history of the missionary
labours in Otaheite and the Society Islands from the
year 1797, and appealing to the testimony of naval
officers, traders, and travellers of all countries, in
proof of the vast improvement, moral and intellec-
tual, which had taken place in the inhabitants in
consequence of the missionary labours, proceeds to
remark that the state of those islands had attracted
the attention of the ambitious and intolerant Church of
Rome. Some of the priests of that Church had been sent
to spy out the state of the island, but Pomare accepted
them not ; and she had the same right to exclude
them from her territory that Louis Philippe had to
demand a passport from every Englishman who set
foot on the shores of France.—(Loud cheers.) Seve-
ral Roman Catholic priests had subsequently been to
the island, but they had obtained no proselytes. Po-
mare had subsequently, at the command of France,
repealed the law prohibiting the entry of Roman
Catholic priests into the island. The Missionary So-
ciety did not defend it, but they would ask with what
grace could France or Spain demand its abrogation
while they kept up laws in their own territories in
Europe equally hostile to the liberty of mankind ?
The statement then detailed, at great length, the
history of the establishment of the French Pro-
tectorate, of the subsequent dethronemeut of Queen
Pomare, and of the declaration by Admiral Dupetit
Thouars that Otaheite was a French colony. Pomare
protested against the conduct of Dupetit Thouars, ap-
pealed to the King of France, and sent to the Queen
of England, soliciting aid. After a lapse of three
months the chiefs and people became uneasy. Queen
Pomare wrote to them a letter, beseeching them to
continue quiet, assuring them that aid would be
sent from England, imploring them by no means to
ill-treat the Frenchmen, but to follow her example
and pray earnestly to God to deliver them from their
trials.—(Cheers.) That letter gave such offence to
the French authorities, that her personal safety was
in danger, and she was obliged to seek refuge on
board her Britannic Msjesty's ketch Basilisk—some
of the chiefs were arrested, others fled to the moun-
tains, and martial-law was proclaimed. It was said
that a French sentinel had been struck by an un-
known native, and by way of reprisals the
British Consul had been seized, imprisoned,
and expelled the island.—(Hear, hear.) A
Frenchman had attempted to seise the wife of one of
the chiefs ; the chief had resisted, shots had been
fired, and te chief was killed. These facts had been
communicated by the Society to Lord Aberdeen, on
the 30th July and on the Ist of August. The So-
ciety had asked for protection for its mission-
aries. To whom, under martial-law could they ap-
peal ? 'What defence was left to them when the French
seized the British Consul, the legitimate guardian of
English interests ?—(Cheers.) They did not wish to
wait until all the mischief should be done. There
was no hope for the personal safety of the mission-
aries, but in the withdrawal of the French Pro-
tectorate—(Loud cheers)—and the restoration of
the independence of Otaheite.—(Loud cheers.)
Could not French magnanimityafford this?—(Cheers.)
They had no wish to create a misunderstanding be-
tween the two Governments, but it was their duty to
awaken the public to the danger to which the Pro-
testant missionaries were exposed from the threats and
schemes of those whose wisdom was not from above,
but from beneath.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. Dr. W. HAMILTON, of Leeds, then came
forward to propose the first resolution, expressive of
the sympathy of the meeting with the missionaries at
Otaheite. He would not make use of any exagge-
rated language—he would speak of things as they
were—and he was happy to say that he had found a
word sufficiently powerful to express his feelings.
A gross outrage had been committed.—(Vehement
cheering.) The expression had been used by one in
high places, and he thanked him for the word.—.
(Cheers.) He came there in no spirit of nationalism.
He was aware that many of our own colonisation
schemes could not be justified. He admitted that
the Roman Catholics had as much right in
Otaheite as ourselves, and if a law existed prohi-
biting them from landing there, he would not vin-
dicate that law.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
But surely the French who permit no stranger to
set foot on their shores without a passport had no
right to complain of it—
" Quis tWerit cracehos de seditione querentes."
There was something of romance connected with this
beautiful island, which by the missionaries' labours had
been changed from a Capreal to A Patmos.—(Cheers.)

That island was governed by a Queen who had
been deposed by the French, perhaps because
they would not suffer a Queen to sit on the throne
of their own country. But it was not so
that we read our history. Woman, who had
her thror.e in the homestead, was equally en-
titled to the throne of the realm. She was to
accept of French protection forsooth. Protec-
tion ? against whom ? Her subjects ? They loved
her. The Missionaries—they were devoted to her.
Her neighbours !—they were in firm alliance and
friendship with her. The protection the French
sought to give her was the protection which the
vultures give to the doves—the wolves to the
lambs—covering and devouring them.—(Cheers.)
Was it right that that Protectorate should ever have
been irnpo.eel? If it was right to accept and receive it,
it was equally right now to disclaim it, on account of
the piratical conduct apel buccaneering system that
had been carried on.—(Cheers.) He should not be
surprised if France conceded and made bland admis-
sions.—(Loud cheers.) The worst Governments on
'earth were Governments of concession.—(Cheers.)
They might depend upon it, that the Government
that would make concessions easily, would not be
slow to commit aggressions. The course that had
been pursued by France was unworthy the land of
the Gauls.—(Hear and cheers.) The present
question was one of Popery or no Popery ; and
on that subject there never was a deeper blood-
stained country than France.—(Cheers.) It was
for the Protestants of that country—they stood there
portly that day; and there were thousands there trem-
bling for their country's guilt and her doom.—
(Cheers.) He was not an advocate for war—he
hated it, but tyranny and oppression, falsehood
and injustice, he hated much more.—(Cheers.)
France had at this very day no less than five vessels
at Otaheite, while this country, the queen of the seas,
had only a ketch there.--((Treat cheering.) There
were many present who, doubtless, did not know
what that was ; he was not much of a nautical man,
but he thought he could tell them.—(Laughter.) It was
a small vessel, having one mainmast and a mizen, a
fine vessel truly Ix a country like England, whose
" Flag had braved a thousand years, the battle and
the breeze"—(Cheers)—to have at Otaheite. He
begged of them not to trust to politicians or
civil liberty. Let them likewise not trust to
Rome, she was as insatiable for power as ever, and
never would pause in her career until she had either
worked her own downfal or made all the standards
of the world cringe to her gonfalon.—(Cheers.) Let
them be prepared to give battle to this foe, and then
Rome would perish hopelessly and abhorred, greatly
cruel as in guilt.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. G. SSIITII (Poplar) seconded the resolu-
tion. They did not stand there to stir up war, but to
maintain peace.—(Cheers.) They were called upon
to express to their brethren, who were suffering in
Otaheite, their sympathy for those sufferings.—
(Cheers.) They were called upon also to reflect
upon which Otaheite was, and what it is, to look to
the buccaneers in its seas, and then to its inhabitants.
The Rev. Gentleman then went, at some length, into
the history of the mission to Otaheite, observing that
the success that had attended the mission would stimu-
late them to future exertions in other lands, if they
were excluded from Otaheite. The present was the
fiftieth year of the existence of the Missionary So-
ciety, and they were now called upon to
wreath the cypress about the laurels they had
won. They were called upon again to lift up the
blood-stained bannerOf the Cross, and to ex-
claim, "No peace with Rome I" (Loud
Cheers.) He would not attempt to prevent any

t
man worshipping in his own way, but he did not think

the resolution which was carried unanimously.
Dr. AfoitarsoN moved the second resolution, which
he said he had no doubt would find a cordial response
from the meeting :—" That the meeting having heard
the letter addressed by Queen Pomare to the chiefs of
Otaheite, exhorting them to the exercise of forbear-
ance, peace, and patience, cannot withhold the ex-
pression of their esteem and admiration. They re-
gard her conduct on this trying occasion as eminently
worthy of commendation, and as an illustration of the
influence of Christianity over her mind, and that of
her people, and that while this people sympathised
with her, it desired more especially, as a religious
body. to express their deep and affectionate sympathy
with her as a suffering Christian and as a member of
the religious community of Papeete ; and that the
meeting offers its friendly acknowledgment to Captain
Nicholas, Captain Thompson, Captain Elliott, Lord
W. Russell, Captain Gambier, Captain Fitzroy, Cap-
tain Waldegrave, and Lieutenant Hunt, and the other
officers who had manifested an interest in the affairs
of Otaheite." He was sure that meeting would cor-
dially sympathise with Queen Pomare, who had been
subjected to such dastardly acts of perfidy on the part
of the French.—(Cheers.) It had been declared that
a great outrage had been committed—(Hear, hear)—
and the civilised world would expect that a great
outrage would be dealt with by Great Britain as it
deserved.—(Hear, hear.) He was an ardent friend
of peace, and he wished the day might be far distant
when England and France might meet in hostile con-
flict, and it was in order that that peace might be
maintained that he wished that their relations might
exist on honourable terms. Popery had tried to ad-
vance its principles at the mouth of the cannon, but
they would meet them with their Bibles, and sue-
ceed.—(Cheers.)
Dr. Laircema3 seconded the resolution. He said
he was sure they would give their cordial sympathy
to Queen Pomare—(Hear, hear)—and that they
would also sympathise with their missionary and con-
sul, for he was still their consul, Mr. Pritchard. That
individual had been calumniated, but when a man was
to be ill-treated, it was easy to find a pretext under
which to cover it. Mr. Pritchard had been obliged
to leave his family. He had been imprisoned for six
days, and in a French vessel, and was sent from
Otaheite to another island, from which he came to
this country, and was now amongst them. He had
no fear of their religious establishment in
Otaheite. The people there were too well grounded
to admit the errors and mummeries of Popery.
He did not wish for war, but if peace could only be
maintained by the sacrifice of honour and humanity
and everything that was dear, why then he was not

The resolution was agreed to.

J. Cotenoa, E sq., Editor of the Patriot, proposed
the next resolution. Tile effect of the resolution was
that the meeting saw with pleasure that the efforts
of the Roman Catholic priests to withdraw the people
of Otaheite from the truth and to introduce their own
superstitions had been without success. It expressed the
hope that the Protestant religion would be supported.
The speaker went on to give a detail of the pro-
ceedings which led to the circumstances which they
were there met to discuss. He said that there was
an opinion that the first fault committed was by their
missi,onaries, who had refused admission into the
island to two Roman Catholic priests. But the truth
was, there was a law of the island to that effect, and
the missionaries had nothing whatever to do with it.
They were not refused admittance on the ground of
religion, but from political motives, and he contended
Queen Pomare was justified in doing what she had done.
The missionaries had created laws and literature in
Otaheite, and had excited the admiration of the
world, and yet these priests had been sent there by
Louis Philippe, for the purpose of destroying the la-
bours of the missionaries. Subsequent events had
amply justified any advice which the missionaries
might have given to Queen Pomare. It had been
said that they wished to bring about a hostile colli-
sion with France. They had nothing to do with
questions of peace or war, but they
ought not to be
afraid of any other country, when that country was
the aggressor. If, indeed, the star of the glory of
Britain was set, let them mourn over their country's
fall in private and succumb to France—(Cheers)—
or if they were too poor to keep up a navy equal to
that of France, they must succumb. If they did not
mean to continue the protection which they had
afforded to Queen Pomare, why had they appointed
Mr. PritChard as British Consul ?—(Cheers.) It was
said that Exeter Hall usurped the functions of the
House of Commons. It was not their fault if the
House of Commons chose to devolve its functions on
Exeter Hall.—(Cheers.) It was a grievous thing
that the House of Commons had not taken up the
subject.—(Cheers.) There was too much pusilani-
mity existing on the subject. Otaheite was not the
only island that was to be snbject to a French
protectorate. There was Hayti. There were the
Sandwich Islands. There were the recommenda-
tions to expel our consul at Cuba. It was time
the country should be roused ; but as to war, France
no more dared to go to war than England.—(Loud
cheers.) There might be a party in France who
would wish to take advantage of war to depose the
present dynasty—(Hear, hear)—but he did not be-
lieve that there existed anything like a war party in
France.—(Cheers.) Louis Philippe, for his selfish
purposes, had taken the Roman Catholic missionaries

The Rev. J. BURNET, who was received with loud
cheering, came forward to propose the last resolution,
which was to the effect that, as the friends of Christian
missions in Otaheite, this meeting records its
deliberate opinion that the cause of Christian missions
would be endangered, so long as the French Protec-
torate continued at Otaheite, and that there was no
safety for Protestant missionaries, nor safety for the
lives and liberties of the Otaheitans, but by the with-
drawal of French protection ; that a memorial be
presented to the Queen founded on these resolutions;
and that the friends of evangelical Protestant Chris-
tianity throughout the world be invited to express their
sympathy with the missionaries and the Otaheitans.
The whole secret of the exertions of France to get
possession of Otaheite was to carry still further the
Roman Catholic religion.—(Hear, hear.) It could
"not be on account of the number of their ships there
in the course of a year, because they were only
twenty, while the number of English ships was eighty,
and the American 110. It had been admitted in the
French Chamber that Otaheite would cost that
country 100,0001. a-year ; and he was sure the
French Government never would be induced to ex-
pend so large a sum for so small a territory, except it
was for the sake of extending the Church of Rome.—
(Cheers.) He trusted the meeting would agree to
the resolution with acclamation.

Mr. Pritchard was loudly called for, when
Mr. FREEMAN, the Secretary of the Society, stated
that Mr. Pritchard felt the honour of being called
upon, and would willingly have addressed the
meeting in obedienee to their wish, but as a
servant of the Crown, in the hands of the
Earl of Aberdeen, he was anxious not to give offence,
or to act in any way that might be construed into an
offence, and, perhaps, occasion excitement, which
might be referred to in other quarters, and become
the means of embarrassing other countries.—(Great
cheering.)

Mr. triras then proceeded to second the resolution,
which was declared to be carried unanimously.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the
meeting dispersed.

FRENCH VERSION of the AFFAIRS
OF OTAHEITE.

The Journal des Debots has published the follow-
ing, as the best account the French can give of their
attack on Mr. Pritchard :

" At the first occupation of Otaheite, the governor
and the military and civil employes of the new colony,
imagined that the whole population of the island was
entirely devoted to the French, and that our being
established in their country afforded them pleasure. A
month and a half ago events happened which show that
the taste for the French was far from being general,
and that the English missionaries preserved enough
of influence over the inhabitants of the distant bays
to cauze serious embarrassment to the French au-
thorities. During the first months of our occupation
we found plenty of cattle, pigs, and fowls, &c., to
buy, so that the ships and the troops had almost
always fresh meat. This abundance soon dimi-
nished, and contractors had great difficulty in furnish-
ing supplies. Cattle became more and more scarce.
The reason given was that the island could not supply
so many additional inhabitants. The agents of the
police were then sent to the country, and they disco-
vered that the proprietors of cattle had created a fic-
titious scarcity to disgust the French with Otaheite, and
to disguise the resources of the country. All the
cattle had been carried to the interior, among the

" Done at Papeiti. 17th February, 1844:
" The Phaeton was appointed to go and receive the
submission of the four rebels, or to arrest them ; but
on its arrival at the bay of Tairabou, the people de-
clared that they would not only shelter, but defend
the chiefs and their property. The Phaeton not being
sufficiently strong to occupy the place returned, and
the corvette L'Ambuscade was met with a company
of voltigeurs, and one of marine artillery, to arrest
the chiefs by force of arms. They went on the 27th
of February. The Governor and the commander of
the marines have also gone. Tairabou is at a dis-
tance of fourteen leagues from Papeita. Letters of
February inform us that the people are flying to the
mountains. They are constructing block-houses in
this bay also, so that they cannot return without sub-
mitting. The last news from Nuka Hiva (Marquesas
Islands), are of the 14th of February. Every one
wishes to leave it to fight for Otaheite. Otaheite is
the object of every ones desires.
" MARCH 18.—Papeiti is in a state of siege since the
3d March. The natives assembled in our mountains
threaten our establishments. Mr. Pritchard, the Eng-
lish Consul and missionary, rind the interested friend
of Queen Pomare, is the principal instigator of these
troubles. On the night of the 2d and 3d March, a
French sentinel having been attacked and disarmed
by the natives, they were pursued, and one only was
taken. In his examinations, having compromised
Mr. Pritchard, that person was arrested at once and
conducted to the block-house. The natives have de-
serted their villages, and are in the hills ready to at-
tack our establishments. Till now there has been no
engagement. We understand that the Otahetians really
expect the arrival of an English admiral with a squa-
dron, who is to expel the French, and to reestablish
Queen Pomare, according to the promises of Mr.
Pritchard and his colleagues. The captain of the
English steamer on the station has obtained the re-
lease of Pritchard, on giving his word of honour that
he would not land the prisoner on any of the Society
Islands. Queen Pomare is still on board the Basi-
lisk, expecting very firmly the arrival of the liberat-
ing squadron. However absurd these rumours may
be, those who have circulated them are very culpable,
were it only for the troubles that have already taken
place. What will be the consequence no one knows.
It is certain that the natives engaged with adven-
turers of all nations, and deserters from whalers, are
still assembled. The English convicts, with which the
islands are infested, are the• most dangerous of the
disturbers. The corvette L'Ambuscade is still at
Tairabou, which is deserted by the natives, and we
are building forts there. If the intrigues of the Eng-
lish missionaries do not drive us from the country,
they at all events embarrass our operations. Our
dear friends on the other side of the Straits are very
troublesome people.
"MARCH 21.—A deputation from the islands of
Morea, Eimeo, and the two bays of Otaheite, have
arrived to express the devotion of these countries to
the French, and that they were entire strangers to the
troubles which have taken place. They have brought
a number of presents for the Governor. The island
of Morea is one of the best that has submitted to the
French. Almost all Pomare's property is there. On
leaving this the Queen has yielded to the councils of
some of her family, who have inspired her with doubt
as to the intentions of the English. Her intimate
councillor, Mr. Pritchard, was no longer with her to
rouse her energy to resistance. She sent a female
embassy to the Governor to arrange this affair. M.
Bruat would make no condition. He offers to receive
Pomare a merci, but promises nothing. It is not
known if the Queen will resign herself to this step, but it
it generally expected she will, so that we are on the eve
of the re-establishment of general peace. The de-
parture of Pritchard will not be without its fruits.
We understand that the Gambier Islands, where the
labours of the French missionaries have been crowned
with much success, are to be added to the French
possessions in the Pacific. The trio-coloured flag is
raised there. The people demand
a garrison of
French soldiers. The sixth company, of marine in-
fantry is to be sent there as soon as quiet is established
in Otaheite. Is this new occupation opportune ? In

FOREIGN WHEAT.—Upwards of 11,0001. of duty
has been cleared at the Custom-house in two days upon
wheat alone. This arose from an anticipated Y rise of
duty, which has since taken place—namely, from 17s. to
185. per quarter. A similar panic, but of course to a
greater extent, took place at Hull, Liverpool, and Lon-
don. At the first-named port, 1,600 quarters were
cleared at the 17s. duty, but previous to the rise at
Liverpool, the quantity entered for consumption on
Wednesday and Thursday last week, amounted to 100,000
quarters. In London the duty rose on Thursday to 18s.,
previous to which 49,000 out of about 150,000 quarters
were cleared at the 17s. duty. From the present posi-
tion of the averages the duty is likely to advance a step,
and in four or five weeks it will have risen to the
maximum point; but whether holders under bond will
enter for consumption before the next rise occurs, will
depend greltly on the weather. During the last two
(lays about 2,000 quarters of foreign grain have arrived
at this port.—. Edinburgh Evening Post.
