British frigate Carrysfort. Being now re-
cogniZed by France, England and the Uni.

fixed than ever. Articles of agreement had
been drawn, which are reported at length
In it Kamehameha promises 10 protect oil
British subjects residing in his dominions,
and TO put them on footing with those of
the most favored nations. He also promises
to receive. at any time, the captain of any

Joshua r. GiGdings is reelected from the
Cleveland district, although vehemently op

deep, which thns have yielded II up again.
1t only remains for us to add that thu
chest, with the body in It, just as it lay wheI
first opened, was consigned to the grave
with the appropriate and solemn rites o
Christian burial, in st. Mary's.
