AN ADVENTURE IN THE LAST WAR.

One day during the last war, opposite to Ports
mouth harbor and about three miles from the Shore
lay black frigate at anchor, aud the continual
motion OH It's decks as seen with the aid OF glass
from land betokened that some event of unusual
interest was soon to occur. Although it showed
colors, it required eye of but little experience
nnaval matters TO decide tina it was English. -
What could be its object was mystery. Its
wooden walls efectualy concealed from many
who watched it anxiously from the shore, and when
during the day it was joined by another vessel of
the same class, and heavy man-of-war not little
excitement was created among those who lived
near the water. Frl a
Towards Portsmouth the enemy had often cast
longing gances. 1t was the key to New Hamp
shire and the western part Of Maine, and possess.
ing one Of the finest harbors in the world. where
navy. without losing spar, might ride out a tenn
pest, It held in their eyes place ofno mean i'm.
portance
But the iron teeth that grinned on the forts at
the mouth of the Piscataqua had hitherto been an
efectual check upon their courage. Besides, sew
eral thousand well trained soldiers had been col.
lected there, in anticipation Of an attack, and whole
companies Of volunteers were daily arriving from
the northern parts Of the State, and even from the
Green Mountains, painting with desire for the
conflict Portsmouth was under martial law. Its
rope walks, school houses and churches were
crowded with the bone and muscle OF New Eng
land, all determined to defend the place TO the last
extremity. The shore was walked for miles, night
and day, by corps ofsentneIs. and every precau.
ton taken to guard against surprise. W
A notice of the approach of the war ships soon
reached the town. The tall flag staff that had
been placed near the mouth Of the river. and was
watched from the steepIes, was seen to have been
inclined towards the sea, which was the signal Of
danger agreed upon. And when the sun went
down not knowing how eminent il might be, the
excitement that filled the place was tremendous,
There was mornting in hot haste, and coursers
dashed through the streets like the winds. Every
cart and carriage was busy in removing the women
and valuabes to station Of security, and the SOL
diers Furnished their arms and renewed the charges
in their pieces. and were ready at tap Of the drum
or the blast Of the buge. to spring to their defence
The night gathered dark and chilly. The heav-
ems looked watery and filled with clouds Of mist
A double watch.was set upon the outposts. and the
soldiers lay down to dream oftheir home or battling
for is safety.
No sooner had the darkness settled the sea than
boats just observable through the twilight. were
seen passing between the enemy's yessel'. and ev-
identity bearing orders from one,o the other mstur

HONOLULU, SATURDAY, FEB. l, ls45.

The U. S. Frigate Brandywine, Foxhall
A. Parker, Commanding the u. S. East In
dia Squadron, arrived in our waters on the
night ofthe 25th ult., 81 days from China.
The next day, being Sunday, in accordance
with the custom of this government, no sa-
lutes were exchanged, but on the day fol-
lowing the Hawaiian flag was saluted with
81 guns from the ship, which were promptly
returned from the Fort. 1t is gratifying to
notice this renewal of national courtesy on
the part of so distinguished an officer, as the
gallant commodore, who has so cfiectuallv
and at the same time SO blandly represented
the interests of his country in the East at q
j%uncture when they particularly required
tact and skill. From his well known char
acter and knowledge of diplomatic forms and
rules, no other course could have presumed
to have been followed by him. And al
though this government very properly dis
tinguishes between the unauthorized or an
omalous acts Of agents Of foreign powers
which may be dictated by mistaken zeal or
an uncommon personal sensitiveness, and
the true sense of their governments, yet this
courtesy so promptly and handsomely rem
dered, will do much in the view of the peo-
pie generally, to remove any bad impress
sions which may have arisen, in consc-
quence of what we cannot but conceive to
be the injudicious withholding of the Gus
tomary honors towards a nation in rcciproc-

FROM CHINA.-We have received China
papers into Nov, but they are quite barren
of news. In one occurs a translation of q
very amusing despatch from Kiying to the
Emperor, containing the minutes of his ne
gotiations with Mr.. Gushing, in which he
complains Of the difficulty he had Of rcduc-
ing the barbarian to obedience. The whole
forms a very original state paper according
to European ideas.
The American treaty has been made pub
lie. 1t is very much the same as the Eng
lish, with the exception of a reduction of the
duty on lead, and some concessions in the
coasting trade to foreign vessels. In Nov.
the French completed theirs, in which it
was said a little more was conceded, in ia

or is gained by one nation in these negotia-
tons is allowed to all.

In the bound volume Of the "Notes'' by
Mr.. Wyllic, we notice under some PREDATORY
remarks, styled I" objections" a brief reply
to the argument Of Ligamen upon the topic
Of Allegiance. The difference between
their viws is not so wide as Mr.. Wyllie seems
to apprehend. Ligamcn has already admit
ted the truth of the sentiment quoted from
the Scotch Encyclopedia, which borrowed it
from Blackstone. 1t is the common doctrine
of natural allegiance, and holds good in all
countries. England in particular, maintains
the differences to be derived theretrom with
much pertinacity of opinion, but in effect
finds it polite to confinc herself to the gen
cral custom of nations. Custom, or perhaps
more correctly to define it, international law
is founded upon abstract principles, modifi-
ed by force Of circumstances. Taking Eng
land for illustration, we find that while her
maxim IS memo potest er"ere patriam, in
practice, she not only conforms to the fact
which constitutes an exception, but in her
laws makes several provisions, implying the
acknowledgement ofthc contingency in qucs-
