ences which have for som time past beeu
pending between the government of the
French republic and that of the Sand
witch Islands may be peaceably and du-
rably adjusted. SO as to secure the indie
pendence of those islands. Long before
the events which have of late impaired SO
much importanc to the possessions of the
U. S. on the Paci fc, we acknowledge the
independencnce o. the Hawaiian govern
ment. This Governmet was first in taking
that step, and several of the leading pow
of Europe Immediately followed We
were influenced in this measure by the
existing and prospective Importance ofthe
islauds as a place of refuge and refresh
ment for onr YES els engaged in the whale
fishery, and by the considerat on thatthey
lie in the course of tn great trade which
must, at no distant day, ne carried on be-
tween the western coast Of North America
and Eastern Asia.
We were also influenced BY a desire
hat those islands should not pass under
the control of any other great matatime
State, but should remain in an independ-
ent condition, and SO be accessible and
useful to he commerce Of all nations.
need not say that the Importance of these
considerations has been greatly enhanced
by the sudden and vast Development
which the interests Of the U. S. have at
tanned in California and Oregon; and the
policy heretofore adopted in regard tt
? those islands will be steadily pursued.
