think that the Admiralty anticipate having

the intelligence from our correspondent al

Monday last, would imply that the foreign

From Woolwich. January 8, it is stated
that the Duke of Wellington has been in
atmos! daily communication with Sir }. F.
Burgoyne, Inspector General Of forllfica'
lions; and their deliberations have,, it is
said, been directed to the best means of pro-
tecting the metropolis, in case Of an inva-
sion. Several military camps are likely
10 be formed round London. Orders have
been received to place Sheerness in prop
or state of defence, to have her supplies Of
ammunition and warlike stores in readi-
ness at that port. 1t is also stated that the
line regiments will have an addition OF
10000 made to them, over the number OF
the estimates of last year.

"This power is denominated the Kingdom
Of the Hawaiian Islands, yet the govern
ment is republican and elective. The King
hold his office for life. His successor is
appointed by the King and the House of
Mobiles, or by the Mobiles and Representa-
tves, in the case of the Kings death be-
fore the appointment of successor. The
Legislature consists of a House of Mobiles
and House of Representatives. The no.
b!es are twenty-four in nun ber-two thirds of
whom are appointed by the King and
Prime Minister, and the other third elected
by the Representatives. The former hold
Offices for life-th latter four yea's. The
Representatives are chosen by popular cleo
ton. Suffrage is universal, and slavery
prohibited. Naturalized foreigners have
all the privileges Of natives The Bill of
Rights is copied from the American Con-
stitution,a ,and mode Of legislation is the same
as with US. The Judiciary comprises a
