of the sandwich Islands.

! News has been received at New Or
leans by a late arrival Of the armed
occupation Of the Sandwich Islands,
From q synopsis OF the facts in the Pic
ayunc, !, appears that some slight diff
ferences had arisen between the British
Consul and the King Of these Islands,
which were made the pretex, BY the
captain of II. B. NJ frlgotc Carysfort
for pcremptory demand Of PERSONAL
interview with the King. This being
refu:ed certain conditions were pres
cribcd, on the threat of resort to force,
for the acceptance OF the King, which
were complied with under protest and
with an appeal by the King to his sub
jects. The next thing that follows is
the cession Of the whole group of the
Sandwich Islands, said 10 be in conse
quence of the impossibility Of acceding
10 the demand ofthe British The SUBJ
mission Of the King of these Islands to
the demands made upon him, some Of
which were humIliating in the extreme,
clearly shows that every reasonable sat
is(action for any real injuries would
have been promptly accorded. There
seems 20 be no bounds TO the rapacity
of the British nation. To find om-
pleyment for her tremendous naval
power her ships are scattered through
every sea, and bouncing upon every
little do. upon the surface Of the ocean
from whence she can derive plumber or
obtain foothold 10 crcumscribe in
peace the nations Of the earth which
are in.amity with her, or cripple an ell
envy in war. That this is HE well ma
tured scheme of aggrandizcmen, adopt
cd by Great Britain, there cannot be a
rational doubt. What else means her
constant interference with the subjec,
Of slavery in Cuba, Texas and the U.
States, with the affairs Of Mexico and
(, South America, the operations in China
and Brazil aud the present seizure Of
the Sandwich Islands. If some meas
ures are not speedily taken by the In
tied States governmental prevent con
summation Of her scheme of aggran-
dizement on this side the Atlantic we
| may ezpec, ere long to see our COM
merce swept from the Pacific Ocean,
and the mistress Of the seas debating
to US the nations with which We may
hold commercial intercourse.
Undor these circumstances, the i'm
portance Of q commercial treaty be-
tween this country and Brazil, 10 which
attention has recently been called by
the northern presses, assumes an atti-
tude Of imposing interest. Between
the years 1884 and 1910 cotton goods
to the amonnt Of nearly four millions,
and -four TO the amount of nearly seven
millions, of dollars, was exported from
the United States 10 that country, not
mithstanding Great Britain has all the
while enjoyed and still enjoys monop
, oily Of that trade under treaty stipula
tons by which British merchandise il
charged Is per cent while American
: pays double that amount. The valu,
; Of the trade will be seen in the FAC
) that Great Britain has annually expor
: ted TO that country S25,oo0,o0e worth
: of merchandise.
S ltappears that the treaty by which
q Great Britain enjoys this monopoly ex
I pires in 1874 and tina. the Brazilian
r government has refused to renew it un
t less her produce is admitted into tn
n British ports on the most favorabl
o terms. This then is the favorable me
Q nent, which, if embraced by our govern
Q nent will give US market for on
h western produce, which will in a shor
6 time be second to none in the world.
