Items from California.
We have received the Potymsusw, published at
Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, to the Goth OF Deem
Der. We have else received two or three numbers
Of the California Star.
They were brought by Edward A. S1werkrop,
Eco overland through Mexico, to this city. The
Poiy~eslan is forty days later than our previous
advtees
The following embrace the principal items o.
interest from the
81 SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The official organ Is very reserved respecting
domestic avis, and would rather speculate upon
the probable results Of FL Dorado discoveries than
exhibit the irailties OF the government and govern
ment officers Of those Islands.
The Netcs, on the other hand, is infinitely more
vine garlsh than ever towards the Kings cabinet,
when ID numerically ridlculed and denounced,
openly and very generally, we are inclined to
think
THE AMERICAN COMMISSIONER.
From The Poly nesian, Dec. 80
AS matter OF etiquette-and many OF the rules
OfetiQuede, light sounding the word ls originate
IN principles OF justlce-we are fOrbi dden we be-
neve, To MAKE many remarks on the subject of the
introduction of the United States Commissioner.
OF course an order on the part of the King tor the
actual cessation OF official intercourse between the
departments OF has government and foreign repre-
sentative, Is very different and much graver mat.
ter than was his desiring his Minister OF Foreign
1T stations TO let another government know
what its consul had been doing Of late, to open
It's eyes withal. That meekness OF soul, how
ever, which is all our own, and upon which
we rather feather ourselves, will not let Us
suppose that simple Opinion OF ours, which
neither offers new facts nor new arguments, and
which ls contained In some halt dozen or so of
words, will affect the matter way or the other.
AND, the reiore, we will state; with all candor,
all N aPaI ~ n <Nf
Transaction connected with the interdlctlon. FIRST
and fore most, We disapprove OF the commissioner
OF he United States having been in any way in.

the king, through the medium OF public news
paper even IT he only SO far forgot his digni.
~ and that OF his country, as to act the part of
amanuensis for the purpose; Secondly, we disap-
prove OF the way in which the manuscript in ques-
ton was brought to light by Mr.. Judd. And third
ly, we disapprove OF the action taken by this GO
vernment in the matter, although we are glad to
eDjolned, pending the appeal to- Washington
These are at present our honest views on the sub.
ject, not come at by consideration of law, but of
policy; for we do not deny but that the govern
nat nj may adduce abundance OF law IN support of
the introduction Of Mr. Ten Eyck, although we do
oplDe that milder course would have better suit
ed the occasion. At the same time, we are willing
to make every extsnuaton that is far, he it ia

open to convection.
