From the Sandwich Islands.

BY the arrival of Mr.. Suwerkrop, the New York
Herald has intelligence from the Sandwich Islands
to the close of December. Our previous advices
were to the 10Th of November. The only informa-
ton given, beyond the report that the measles and
hopping cough still continue to PREVAIL is the fol-
lowing: "We learn that the relations between
the authorities of these Islands and the American
Commissioner, Mr.. Ten Eyck, had ceased, and Mr..
T. E. had taken down his fag.''
The Tribune publishes the following letter from
its Polynesian correspondent. The letter is dated
at Honolulu Dec. 9th. Its statements are given in
such passionate style, that we know not what
credit attach to them. If the facts are true this

tween Queen Pomare and Rear-Admral Dupetit.
Thouars:

have sprung up between the U. S. Commissioner,
Anthony Ten Eyck, and the Sandwich Islands
Government. The conduct and disposition of Mr..
I. E. have been such, that sufficient reason for
suspending official relations with him could not
Sandwich Islands News of Nov. 10th contained
two articles, purporting to be letters from San
Francisco, in which the Government is abused in
manner fit for bar-room BLACKBOARD, but not for
the representative of the American Republic.
The apparent motive for this outpourng is the
ment, instead of making the Commissioner himself
the sole channel of business connected with the
United States. As he says AT this time it amounts
to nothing less than an insult to our Commissioner
at the Islands, to attempt transfer of his legiti
mate functions from his possession to that of United
powers from the Government at Washington. Who
authorized his Majesty to appoint Ministers for the
u. S. Government, to negotiate upon matters which
are specially confided to our Commissioner at Hon
o!ulu 9 In another place, speaking Of San Fran
cisco, he says: When is Mr.. Ten Eyck coming
here! Were in his place l would leave my hon.
ors behind me and HE hther, where he has already
excited a most favorable impression, and where he
could not fail to make fortune But, in order to
give you complete idea of the dignity and cour-
Iesy Of this gentleman, quote from of the let
