Honolulu, Sent. I4th, Is4

| Messrs. Editors The good people Of our
town were astonished, on the 18th August
last, by the temperance Of Lord George Pau
let, in II. b. Ms lfigate Carysfort. This time
however, he came in peaceful guise, and, al
most as soon as he anchored, saluted the Ha-
waiian flag with 81 guns, which were prompt
| ly returned. The old Admiral must have sent
him here TO do penance for his sins, and he did
, il badly enough-lor his reception was as dis
trait and cold as could be desired by his warm
est enemies. MIR Hooper, however, our con-
sui, dined with him, though he had, on
former occasion, been turned ont of the ship.
The Carysfort had been at Tahiti, and with
the permission of The French, took the Queen
Pomare 10 Rai,ea, with eighteen of her wo-
men. On the way, these women were ravish-
ed by the officers of the ship, and scene Of
prostitution, unrivaed by the vest siews of
London, was kept up for the remainder Of the
voyage. The Queen, being near her accouche-
ment, WINS spared. The particulars of this
disgracelu affair were given me by persons
who witnessed the whole. Lord George has
lett bchnd-hin, at these islands, name for
such deeds. which will not soon be forgotten-l
indeed, one of his last public acts was 10 annul
the law depressing prostitution ;''a fellow feel
ing" &c. Upon his arrival at Ratea, the
chiefs Of this island, Bolabula and Huahiui,
sent him letter, requesting him TO take pos
protect them against the French. But Lord
George had had already sufficient experience,
in conquering South Sea islands, and he pru-
DENLY declined. While here, he was waited
upon by the remnants of his faction, who had
almost dwindled into noth;ngness, and were
very glad 10 have live lord among them once
more. He called upon Governor Kekuanaoa,
and sent him his card. The old Governor who
had experienced much insult from him when
hp kva i'm i0oknI nj tho md Ear N
ment, and then cast it Indignantly from him.
As for his Majesty, and the members Of the
Government, and the respectable portion Of
society, they, rightly appreciate his private as
well as public character, would have nothing
10 do with him, which greatly vexed my lord'
However, he behaved, personally, toleraby
well-kept his men on board-and, on occasion
of the Queens birthday, toasted the sovereign
in whose waters he lay. Shortly before leav-
ing, he created stir, one midnight, by blazing
away whole broadsdes, divisions and guns, in
great rapidity, with all the heat and ardor of a
real fight. The whole town were startled
from their sumbcrs, and rushed 10 the house
tops, TO see what was to pay and gay dis
play they made oft, in their night robes, as
every flash lighted up the scene. The ship be-
ing close to the houses, the annoyance was
very great, particularly to his Majesty, who
slept, as it were, right under the guns The
whole town excited. Indeed, many feared it
was bona ide attack upon the fort-but il
soon died away, and Lord George had the adj
ditonal satisfaction, for the sake of wild
freak, ofannoying and frightening 10, 900 slum-
bering people. Perhaps he wanted To show
them with what gnsto he would have fred up
on the town, had he had chance, during his
first glorious achievement.

seamen's chapel, pulled up the trees and in
jured the grounds of DIR Rookie, counirym0n
Of theirs, who had recently taken the oath of
allegiance to his Majesty, and performed other
similar msdeeds. We were all glad to see the
ship leave the harbor, and by this time you
must have heard enough OF her, yourselves,
but Lord George has become historic name
and such incidents go far to show his real char
acter. He sailed, on the 4th of this month, for
Byron's bay, where he intended giving his
men the liberty Of the shore, and we may ex-
pect TO hear, Of queer scenes. The u. S. frig-
ale Savannah, bearing the broad pennant of
Commodore Armstrong, arrived at Hilo, Au-
gust 80. We are expecting her here, daily.
She is said to be fine vessel. Yours,
