The Sandwich Islands--Annexaiion- Of
the b iiish Consul against it.


The last arrival from California brings in
terestng intelligence in relation to the move
ments that are being made looking towards
the annexation of the Sandwich Islands to
the United States. Among the documents
rec lived is a speech, rather remarkable. in it's
Oh arac,er, made by the British Consu Cen
eral at the Islands, G,n. Miller.
The Consul TAX s the position-First, That
the treaty entered into with the Sandwich
Islands by great Britain was based upon the
express condition that the King, his heirs and
successors are hound to extend. at all times,
to British subjects the same advantag aud
privileges as may be granted to citiz ms OF
the most favored nations. Second, That the
Joint Declaration Of England and France Of
the 18th November, 1858, Wis founded up
on the clear understanding that the King wis
to preserve his kingdom as an Independent,
State. Third, That no monarch whatever
has right to ALLEVIATE his kingdom, or enter
mo negotiation with that view, without
the concurrence of the people. Fourth, That
the eft ct Of the annexation would he to max /,
slavcsof the natives. Fifth, That slavery
is recognized by the constitution of the UNI
ted States, and all persons of dark color be-
ing Sid into slavery natives, from their col
or, could not enjoy citizenship in the United
States, and no treaty provision to that effect
would be recognized by the American peo-
pie. Sirth, that there is no distinction of
rank in Tho United Ssates-no titles Of no.
blity-and that the King and chiefs would
lose their rank and position, and be despised
on a, count Of Their color. Seventh. That the
instituticns Of the United States were demon
al eng ana corrup,ing, and destroyed the
amenities Of social life; and, Eighth, That
there was no real >,curity to persons or prop
ertv there.
General Miller wound ;.p his statement of
the objections to annexation by the declara-
ton that any attempt TO ancex tie Islands to
the United States would be in contrcVention
ofan existing treaty; could not be looked
upon with indifference by the British govern
ment, and he protested against it.
ltissupposed that the British Government
will disayow the acts and sayings of its Con-
sular Agent. If it does not, embarrassment,
it not Difficulty, may result from the positions
assHued:-as the speechis an earnest protest
against the proposed action of the United
States and the King Of the Sandwich Islands.
