ANNEXATION OF THE SANDWICH lSLANDs-The
Washington correspondent OF the n Y. Courier
and Enquirer learns IRON source of undoubted
authority that the repeated statements of the
conclusion OF a treaty or convention for the an
nexation of the Sandwich Islands are wholly in
correct. He says:
The negotiation is suspended, nor had any pro-
gress been made in it for many months previous
to the last advces received by the Government.
Mr.. Gregg Is instructed to submit to the executive
at Washington any proposition he may receive,
without urging upon the native Government any
project on the part of the United States. In the
present pTeOccuped state of the great maritime
powers OF the world, there Is danger that the
Sandwich Islands will become lurking place
and refuge for pirates and corsairs. 1t will be the
care OF our Government to prevent any such con-
sequence of the weakness of the native authorities,
but beyond that, DO Immediate movement Tor the
acquisition of the Sand witch Islands is anticipated
We shall have, however Dy every arrival for the
next three months, for the past six, revival of
the report that they have been annexed.
