To his MAJE,rr KAMEHAMEHA III, king Of the
| Hawaiian Islands.
| YouR MAJESTY: This audience has been requested
for the purpose Of affordmg opportunity to my
predecessor George Brown, Esq TO take final leave
Of your Majesty's government, and to present me
TO you his successor in the Office Of United States
commissioner of the Hawaiian Islands.
! Ii also affords me the opportunity Of performS2g
the pleasing duty Of ukesenting TO you ia person Nc
letter hold in my habd addressed to you, from the
President OF the United States; copy Of which in
pursuance of my instructions, has already been
| furnished to your Maiesty's minister of foreign
relations This letter WILL doubt not, prove salts
factory to your Majesty, and convince you how
deeply the President regrets the difficulties wh,ch
have unhappily arisen between your hajesty's gov.
eminent and portion of the Americans resident
upon your islands; and how anxious he is not only
to restore the former friendly relations existing be-
tween the two governments, but by adopting the sug
gesuon in reference to treaty contained in your
letter Of the 10Th September, 1884, addressed to the
President OF the United States, how ready he is to
aid IN binding the two nations together in bonds OF
still more intimate and lasting friendship.
Your Majesty will consider il no disparagement
to pOyernmsnt M DepDle WbnD | that n
The lIberany of the American Christian and philan.
thropist, and the self-sacrfciDg spirit of their
agents, the missionaries, your kingdom is mainly
Indebted for the respectable position II now occupies
IN the scale Of nations. The history of missionary
efforts throughout the world present brighter
page than that which records the results of the la
bors of the American missionaries in these Hawaiian
islands.
The American people having contributed es-
senally 10 clvze and christianize this people, and
having witnessed with Joy and pride their rapid ad
vancement IN knowledge and all those christian vir-
tues which render nations as we'll as individuals re-
spected, and which entitle them to an honorable and
independent rank amongst enlightened governments,
your Majesty can regard il in no other light than
true pledge Of the lively interest which the govern
ment and people of the United States will ever feel
IN the success and independence of your govern
ment, as well as their ardent desire to promote the
happiness and prosperity your majesty and that Of
your subjects.
In any commercial regulations which may be en-
tered into between your Majesty's government and
that have the honor to represent it is, trust,
scarcely necessary for me to say that the United
States desire no advantage over other powers; and
least Of all would they seek or expect it from gov
eminent just struggling into independent existence,
and which has so many claims upon the sympathy of
the government and people of the United States
that OF the Hawaiian Islands. In the correspondence
which has taken place between your Majesty gov
eminent and that ! have the honor TO represent,
your ministers have been pleased to allude to the
Hawaiian government "feeble and inexperienced,
and dependent upon the generous forbearance of the
old and powerful nations Of the earth" The letter
have just handed you from the President viii con-
vince your Majesty that the government Of the Uni
ted States fully appreciates this feeling the part
of your government; and you may rest assured that
while IN their intercourse with this with all other
foreign powers, they will adhere strictly to the
I'm adopted by them, to TASK for nothing thai is not
clearly rgh, and 10 submit 10 nothing hat is prong,"
they will be the very las, nation to seek for an
cason to encroach upon, harshly unnecessarily
to interfere with, the rights and privileges pertaining
to the independent sovereignty Of your Majesty's
