The RIGHT OF SEARCH.-We have much
pirnsure. (says the Standard) in being ena.
hled 10 announce that The American govern
msnt represented rs showing every dispo-
sition for an early adjustment Of the right
of search and visitation question. Letters

THE SANDWICH misunderstanding
the recent seizure Of The Sandwich Islands
thu London Times speaks as foIlows:-
1.-The view which has been taken of this
treaty Of cession IN this country is not fa-
yorabic to lis confirmation. Although no
blame can be laid on Admiral PoLlctf for his
share in tho transaction, VIC understand that

TO the dominions of the British crown, but
10 be restored 10 the Independent authority
Of tho naive sovereign. Although these
islands are unqucsiionably superior to all
the other groups Of the Polynesian urchipel-
ago, in size and in position, both as regards
the whale fisheries and the rcfreshment of
vessels crossing the Northern Pacific, it
does not appear that the possession of them
would confer upon this country any advan>
iage not equally to be attained by the main>
tenance Of their Independence having been
recognized by the United States, and hav.
ing been pointedly adverted to by the rep
rc,ontatives Of this country upon recent
occasion, it was obviously our duty as well

cd by Sir Charles Napier, after his own
fashion, and Narrated by himself in his own
atyle. The Ameers were determined 10
hazard the chances OF another onslaught,
and accordingly mustered their forces, to
the number Of 10000 men, in a formidable
position, on the banks Of the river FulIatie,
about 70 r miles from Hyderabad. A more
formidable or determined force never chal.
lenscd European prowess Their ranks were
uot filled up by unliedged recruits or beard
less boys. The Ameers mustered the very
pride of their chivalry stalwart veterans
and grim warriors. To confront this pow
erfiIl array tho British brought into the field
but 5000 men, supported by an an Insig-
Dificant artillery. After fearful and bloody
contest of three hours, in the course Of
which prodigies Of valor were performed by
tho bclligcrents, no quarter being asked or
allowed, the British succeeded in defeating
their antagonists. The BcIooches lost 1000
men. l / guns, and 10 standards. OF the
British, 80 were slain. and 23l wounded
m amount which, when it is considered
thai the battle was waged with greater rage
and desperation than do usually signaIize
Moslem wars, is absolutely miraculously
small.
Shcre Mahomed, the leader Of the hos
tile party. fled into the desert, with the
scattered remains of his forces. The whole
Of the country has been coded to the Brit.

Instigato- of the revolt, Sir Charles Napier

nnother shot will be fred in Scinde." The
captured Aineers, who but some months
since reJoiced in possession of a territory
and sway which even Eastern despots might
envy, ara, now with shattered fortunes and
broken spirits, confined within the limits Of
one of the residences of the Governor Gen.

BY tw" well conceived and bravely con-
Quoted b titles, Great Britain has secured 10

most eligible provinces Of which she can
