TIE WHIRLWIND.
nv miss JULIET ". LEWIS.
The Whrlwind swould take Walk one uay,
fAnd very fast "walker Is he,'0
So bustling about,
He at length set OUT,
With step right biithe and free
,T,yas plainly seen, as he rush'd along,
He was bent upon ftclic that day;
he wh-tled with gce-
Or snng merrllIe,
For his heart was glad and gay.
His path La s,raish, through the dark greenwood,
And away DER the mountains broad brow;
His track you might trace,
10 every place,
For he lcft his marks, throw.
The ASP was the first TO hear his voice,
And she shook through each branch NJ the sound;
Tho t;md ynung tres
Trembled fearlully,
As she sank upon the ground.
The U,cx'sr beheld his sister fall
And exclaimed w 18th an ill paturca sneer-
"She's nervous 10 day,
And doth faint away;
Such weakness cans flourish hcre!'
IA onward the lyhrlwnd came, he heard
The rude scnI.r unieelingy JEST
So wranchins about
His old trunk so stout,
The strong one was lard at rest
The PrSr saw the Kickory's shivered trunk,
And bowed low, as the wind whistled past
OF the noddin; tree,
Did not save him from the blast.
The OAK in defiance tossed his head,
For veteran right bold is he
But single stroke
Fred the mighty Oak;
Alas. for the proud old tree!
On, onward still. and his mighty breath
Sings an anthem of glad triumph now;
And he laughs u see
Each old forest tree,
AT his coming, meekly bow.
The blooming HAw heard the Whiriwnd's voice,
And IL filled her with wcghty alarms;
Bat he loved the blush
And the ring bush,
And bore her of IN his arms,
On, onward still DER the land he sweeps,
With wreck, and ruin, and rush, and roar;
Nor stops In luok hack
On his dreary track,
But speeds To the spoils before.

1--WE had 80 days passage from Mazatlan 10 VAL

rived mere yesterday week, all well; having sailed
upwards of twenty thousand miles since we left this

here few weeks before our arrival, the former for
Guayaqu aud the latter for Payta; officers and crews
of both vessels well. Callao is dull as ever al
though We envened yesterday by witnessing the
boats of the whale ship Maria in pursuit of couple OF
whales After very exciting chase of two or three
hours both were captured. The New Bedford, another
whaer is also here, and anticipate more sport be-
fore they leave.
"While at Mazatlan we were treated with marked
attention and kindness by Capt. Broughton Of H. B
NJ friga,e Samarang: He supplied with q month
provisions, and, being older cruiser on that coast
with copous sailing directions, and rendered TO US the
of a well which he had dug shore for watering
While we at Montery, Capt Forrest included the
English subjects in his demand upon Gov. Avarado,
for the release and safety Of counirymen who had
been arbitrarily deprived Of their liberty and property
and when tie prisoners, both English and Americans
arrived at Tessa they all liberated by Mr. Barron
the English Consul at that place.

Honolulu, Oahu, Feb. Is, lS4l.
The Polynesian. [volume] (Honolulu (Oahu), Hawaii) 1840-1841, 1841-03-06
TO be Continued.

The last week has been one of considera-
BILE excitement among the residents, owing
to an order on the part of the government
for all their subjects to labor for three days
on the public roads. We have received
copies of a correspondence between His En-
cellency Governor kekuanaoa and the Brit
ish Consul, which we publish at the request
of the former. We also rcpublish the Eng
lish Treaty, and the laws on taxation, (the
one which has occasoncd the difficulty being
in tales that the public may have sufli-
cient data for forming correct opinion upon
the subject.
A few words will be necessary to explain
the nature Of the law in question, and the
occasion Of its being enforced There are
large number Of natives, perhaps thousand
or more, mostly about Honolulu, who belong
to no lands, and form Il floating population,
principally in the employ of foreigners. They
earn from $50 to 5000 or more per annum,
by their daily labor, and large portion of
them are the best clothed and most civilized
as well as best paid class of natives. The
other part constitute the rabblc of the town.
and live by the usual shifts of that class of
the community. While all land-holders are
obliged to pay to the king and chiefs heavy
tax, either S9,5O (per annum) in cash, or
six days labor monthly, the former have only
been subjected to a poll tax of 81. Besides
this, the only tax which can be imposed up
on them is that which the laws impose equal
~ upon the whole population In case of
any public work, (which is for the benefit
Of the people at large" being needed, all the
adult male population are liable to be called
upon to execute it, (See the law in another
column This work must be done on those
weeks which are not appropriated to the
chiefs, consequently it compels the land

holders to work ~ days in the month
the other class but 6; so that the l,,,
though the best able to pay taxes. arc :,
most favored. This is owing to the Conn,
of the chiefs many years back, who rele,.
from the usual labor tax, all those who r..
employed by foreigners. All those of b
classes, who have any lucrative occuuo,,
or have'no disposition to labor, can comm
their tax by paying certain sum, estabG,
ed by law for such cases. Similar proc
ions for the public good exist in the cod
of all enlightened countries.
This law has been in force for wear .,
a half, and the first occasion which goyo,
mcnt has had because it to be executed a.
CURED last week. Most of the foreign ,s
dents have been anxious to have two 3,
riage roads leading from the town in dis.
ent directions constructed, and by their Re.
reservations and liberal subscriptions indu,a
the Governor to engage in the undertake,
Now, all know that cash is a scarce arj,.
with the Hawaiian Government; and the m|
Iy way by which they could execute the
part, was by calling upon the people to pei
form it, by the authority of the law reient
to. They were first ordered out for this pu
pose on Tuesday of last week, and work,
on that and the two succeeding DAYS, cnr
mencing earIWand dismissed at three o'ch,
in the afternoon. Owing to ignorance
these facts, and the nature of the laws, son
misunderstanding at first existed among ID
residents, but with the exception of f,
they soon concurred in the Justice and m.
pricty of the order. Those who wishcdn
retain their servants were able to, and a
much labor for commercial purposes cor
be obtained as was required, by pawn
the additional sum demanded as subs,jnr
for the work. Certainly not very oppre.
sive regulation, when it is recollected lid
the roads must necessarily be, for the pre-
ent, far more to the advantage OF the ioreigr
ers;-tAsH- tot the natives.

doubtless have contributed to the splen-
dor of the poem to have endowed thc ne
roes with long and sounding titles, which,
by dazzling the eyes of the reader, might
prevent an examination of the work itself.
These adventurous ornaments are justly
disregarded by our author, who, by CIV.
ing us plain Jack and Gill, has dlsdalncd
to rely on intrinsic support. In the very
choice of appelaiions he is, however, Ju-
dcious. Had he, for instance, called the
first character John, he might have given
him more dignity, but he would not SO
well harmonise with his ncghbor, to
whom, in the course of the work, It will
appear he mnst necessarily be joined.
The pcrsonagcs being now seen, their
situation is next to be discovered. or
this we are Immediately informed in the
subsequent line, when we are told,
Jack and Gill
Went up "a hill.
Here the imagery is distinct, yet the de-
scrption concise. We Instant y figure to
ourselves the two persons travelling up an
ascent, which we may accommodate to
our own ideas of declivity, barrenncss,
rockiness, sandincss, &C.; all which, as
thcy exercise the imagination, are beau
ties of high order. Now, the act of 60
inc up hill, although Locke would pro-
nounce it a very complex idea, compre-
bending person, rising ground, trees, &C.,
is an operation so simple as to need no
description. Had the poet, therefore,
told us how the two heroes went up,
whether in a cart or a wagon, and enter
cd into the thousand particulars which the
subject involves, they would have been
tedious, because superfuous. The omis-
sion of these little incidents. and telling
us simply that they went up the hill, no
matter how, is a very high negative beau
ty. These considerations may furnish us
with the means of deciding a controvcr-
sy, arising from variation in the manu-
scripts some of which have it hill, and
others The hill for as the description is in
no other part local, | incline to the former
reading.
