aaaton of the Catholic system among its
subjects, and that they received no pledge
of any description from that government,
that they should be permitted to do SO.
They began the work, however, which
they went to do, and prosecuted 1t with
the characteristic activity and address of
Jesuit missionaries. In the year 1929,
the government proclaimed an order pro-
hibiting the natives from attending rcli-
gious services at the priests chapel. But
the order produced no effect, or an incon-
siderable and temporary effect; and. to-
wards the close of that year, Kaahumann,
then constituting, as is conceded by all
parties, the government de ,jure and de fac
to, apprized M. Bachelot, that he must
exclude natives from his chapel, although
she permitted him to keep it open to res
ident foreigners. So far as we can learn,
this intimation was disregardcd: the OBJ
iects of the mission were steadily prose-
cuted and, towards the close of 1881.
the King seemed to have found, or felt,
himself obliged to send the priests out of
the Islands. They were accordingly,
with their effects. removed to California.
We do not learn that any notice was ta-
ken of this proceeding by the govern
ment of France.
In 1896, Mr. Walsh, a Catholic priest
and an Irishman, having come to Homo
lulu, was at first commanded to leave the
Island, but at length was suffered to re-
main, upon his engagement to abstain
from interfering with the religious instruc-
ton of the natives. About the middle of
June, 1887, Messrs. Bachelot and Short
returned to Honolulu in an English brig,
for the purpose of recommending their
original enterprise of proseIytism, and
went ashore. They were Immediately
compelled to 60 on board the vessel again,
which was ordered to leave the Island !;
and they remained on board of her until
July, when, by the interpos,ion of an En-
glish and French ship of war, an ar
rangement was negotiated, to which the
English and the French captains and the
government of the Islands were parties,
by which they were to be suffered to land
and stay until they could sail for some
civilized part of the world. They were to
embrace the first opportunity of doing
this, and in the mean time were not to
preach. We subjoin the stipulation Of
the French captain.
Honolulu, July 2lst, 1887.
"The undersigned, commander of the
French frigate Venus, promises in the
name of NJ. Bache!ot, that he will seize the
the first favorable opportunity which offers
: to quit these Islands, and go either to Ma
nilla, Lima, Valparaiso, or any civilized
part of the world and, in case such one
is not presented, on the arrival of the first
French man-of-war which visits these Is
lands, he shall be received on board In
. the mean time M. Bacheot shall not
= preach.

French frigate Venus"

French tlgate Venus
In the succeeding October, Mr. Short
left Honolulu for Valparaiso. Very soon
after another priest, M. Maigret, arrived
at Honolulu, but was not allowed to land
unless he would give security to depart
within some stipulated period, and in the
mean time to abstain from attempting to
propagate his faith. This he could not
or would not do, and he and M. Bachclot
finally left Honolulu in November, 1897.
NJ. Bachelot was at that time in i'll health,
and died at sea. The government of the
Islands then published a pretty full and
formal ordinance, prohibiting the teaching
of the " pecularities of the Popc's reli-
oion," and the exhibition of its ceremo-
MES, and announcing that nc teacher of
that religion would be allowed to reside
in the Islands.
We are sorry to add, that, in the course
of this struggle to exclude Catholic priests,
fand the inculcations of the Catholic reli-
gion, from his dominions, the King of the
Islands should have so far followed the
bad example Of Christendom as to punish
some of his subjects whom the priests had
persuaded to adopt that religion. This
indiscreet and un just persecution, howev-
er, seems not to have been extended to
resident foreigners in single instance
All such, of all nations, were treated with
uniform kindness in their persons and
property, except SO far as they may be
supposed to have been incommoded or
panied by the exclusion of the Catholic
clergy, and the suppression of the Cath
olic public worship.
We have now related the general Sc
ries of conduct and pretenson, on the
part Of the Island authorities, which is
supposed to have provoked the armed in
terposition of France. And it is plain,
we repeat, that the exact question be-
tween the parties was whether the local
f government could rightfulIy, in point Of
international law, prevent Catholic priests
from teaching their religion to the natives.
! 1t is clear, that the matter complained of
: by the French was the Sandwich Island
: doctrine of the right to do this, and the
, practical assertion of that doctrine, and
5 that the main object of the treaty was to
disatiirm and eX,inguish that right
There was nothing else to complain of.

treaty. OF any un(rendlness or disres-
pect on the part Of the Island government

is to be regretted, that native inhabitants
