the expected attack, the tribe being pow
erful enough to prove a very dangerous
foe. AT st. b. we found the rumor con-
frmed. They had attacked the Mission
of St. Louis, about half way between
Monterey and St. b. and driven off over
one thousand head of cattle, leaving the
Major Domo tied to tree. 1t was thought
by no means improbable that they would
attack and attempt to plumber the town OF

THE POLYNENiAN.
Honolulu, Saturday, Nov. 13, lS41.

Every one here speculates more or less
upon the future condition Of this archpela-
60. Some indulge in visions of greatness
and prosperity, based upon the increasing
civilization of the present inhabitants, and
look forward to the time when this shall be
Il kingdom known and respected among kin
dred nations. In the progress Of the people
in refinement and knowledge, they see
strong hopes for the future.
Others not only desire, but stand ready to
aid in any change which shall cause the
power to pass from the present chiefs, and
place some civilized government in their
stead. They are comparatively few in num-
Der and divided by want of common inter-
ests among themselves. Like most revo-
lutonists they desire change, and yet would
be puzzled to define their wishes. The pres
ent government in their eyes is barbarous
and impotent; their pecuniary prosperity
trammelled by their edcts, and they look
forward as did the Israelites in the days of
Samuel to new king, who shall be ruler
after their own hoarts. The majority of res
idents we believe to be sincere friends of the
nation, and would aid them in an emergen-
cy, and stand been them and oppression
Many are honestly sincere in the belief of
their inability to hold together much longer
while at the same time no act of theirs will
hasten their ruin.
Were foreign power to seize upon
these islands, invite emigration, foster COM
merce and agriculture, it cannot be doubted
that their mercantile resources would be rap
idly developed, and wealth and industry en-
sue. But this could only result from an act
of injustice towards the owners of the soil
such as any modern government would hes
itate to execute. Statesmen of this day are
slow to brave the moral sense of people
In case like this, the successful despoiler
must not only face the indignation of those
among his own nation whose sense of right
is not lost in the pride of national acpran-
d'zement, but also the aroused iealousies of
disappointed rivals for the same prize. The
neutralzing effects of the ambition of the
great powers that now WELD the destinies Of
the world, is equally as strong guarantee of
the independence of these islands. as the
want OF pretext to destroy their liberties
AS population increases on the shores of the
North Pacific, they will bear the same rela-
tive Importance to the neighboring countries

their affection for my countrymen, and by

The arrival of the A. having afforded
the necessary communication, we sailed
on the 20lh Of April for St. Barbara, a
port to leeward of Monterey. After a
two days passage we anchored in an open
roadstead, there being no harbor. ST..
Barbara is situated at the foot of a range
of high hills, and as you approach it from
the sea, bears some resemblance in appear
ance to the town of Lahaina, on the Is
land of Maui. The Mission of st. B.
makes quite an imposing appearance, as
it stands on the rising ground in the rear
of the town. The landing here, is at
times very dangerous and often impossi-
bic, from the fury with which the surf
breaks upon the shore. We found here
an old acquaintance, the Prison Barque,
which had touched to receive an addition
to her cargo of "Revolutionists." We
were very glad, though not little sur
prised to find that the inhabitants of st.
B. were very friendly towards foreigners,
and that they looked upon the imprison-
ment of so many, with very different feel
ings from those entertained by the people
of NJ ontercy, general indignation per-
