By private advicesl received from our correspon.

departure of the Mississippi Mr.. Gregg, the United
States Consul addressed letter to the Minister Of
Foreign Relations Of the Hawaiian government, in
sisting upon the immediate Con ,lusion Of the
treaty or else tina. all negotiations on the subject
should terminate forthwith. The consequence Of
this demand was ascertained to be that an official
and peremptoyy message was despatched for the
Prince, whose signature was alone wanting to make
the treaty complete. The messenger who lett on
the Sea Bird the day before the Mississippi sailed,
bore direct orders from the King for the Princes
return. The Ministers are all known to be anxious
