HONOLULU, SATURDAY, JUNE IS, 1874.
WAKEBY.

Through the po%liteness of Mr.. Dudoit,
Consul for France, we have been put in pos
session of the LIST. Number of "L'Oceanie
Franchise" the official Journal of Tahiti,
published May 9Th, and to be issued in flu
ture every eight days, price six dollars. Its
editor shows no little skill and enterprise in
the attempt; having no typographical press,
ne is reduced to the necessity of employing
TYPOGRAPHY, and his paper is a %"feuille au-
tographiee," not so legible as type, but as
much so as common writing. 1t is certainly
a literary curiosity. He remarks,-"The
apparition Of the Oceanic Franchise will Gre
ate a sensation in France. Modest in its
form, our journal will be reherche." We
wish the editor all success in his enterprise,
and congratulate ourselves in having a CO.
operator in our profession, and shall take
great pleasure in sending him our journal.
This number is mostly filled with official
details ofthe action of 18th. April, between
the Tahitians and the French forces. We
condense from the report of the commanding
officer to M. Bruat, the Governor of Ia
hitl, the following particulars. The frigate
L'Uranie, corvette La Meurthe, steamer
Phaton, and transport Clementine, convey
ed the troops amounting to 500 men. to Ma
hahina. Early on the morning of the 18th.
the troops disembarked, under cover of the
guns of the vessels. The Tahitians, to the
number of 900, were strongly entrenched on
rising ground, in three bitches, seven feet
deep, running parallel with each other to-
ward the sea, for the distance of 1900 metres.
and defended from the fire of the shipping by
a glacis. The defendants were sheltered
but their position once turned, retreat be-
came impossible. The fight commenced at
ii o'clock, the French troops rushing to the
assault with cries, a thousand times repeated.
of Vive lie Roi." In four and a half hours.
after a desperate and obstinate resistance,
IN which the opponents fought man to man,
the three redoubts were SUCCESSFULLY carried.
During the resistance the natives kept up q
lively fire of musketry and artillery. The
guns of the frigate raked the last redoubt.
and occasioned the natives a heavy loss.

d'smounted their cannon. Their flag, and

The FRENCH AT THE MARQUEsAs.-We
learn that the French have as yet made no
considerable Notifications on these islands,
but have erected merely a fort sufficient to
withstand any attack of the natives. There
are about 500 troops stationed there, and
with them are a few officers ladies'. Provi-
sions are scarce and high. The nominal
king has received a commission of a ~lieuten-
ant Colonel in the French army, and has a
handsome salary, but is said to be a misera-
bic drunkard, possessing no great authority
over his own subjects. The natives are as
much as ever engaged in warfare among
themselves. Although well treated by the
French, they are inimical to them, Jealous
probably ofthe military force stationed among
them.

"In Oceania also the English Government
and ourselves were placed in a critical con-
tact; there also they may have had important
interests to protect; previous and powerful
national feelings to control. They neverthe-
theless declared formally declared that
they would throw no obstacles in the way of
our making a settlement in Oceania. In one
particular instance, the English Government
have found themselves in a situation nearly
similar to our own. One of their Admirais
has accepted the protectorship of the Sand
wich Islands; but the English Government
have refused it, and have proposed to us to
acknowledge in commo the independence of
that archipelago. We have done so, and
the independence of the Sandwich Islands
may be considered as a fact of capital inter-
est in Oceania; for there is nobody having
looked at the map, but is aware of the great
Importance of that cluster of islands, in the
commercial relations of that part of the
world" -
From the debates in the English parliament, we
make the following extract
"MR. HINDLEY wished to ask the right
hon. baronet whether Her Maiesty's Govern
ment had received any information as TO the
approval or disapproval of the occupation of
Tahiti and the dethronement of Queen Po-
mare! he had seen in the second edition of

ment that the French Government had disap-
proved OF the course which Admiral Dupetit
Ihouars had taken, and had sent out orders
that he should act in accordance with the
protective treaty of l842. He was anxious
to hear how far the new was confirmed bv
