FOreIgn-thc Pacific side.


Australia and China Of which the followin.
Is the substance.
The annexation question appears to have
been entirely quieted, and the Polynesian
thus speaks Of the attachment of the sub
jects Of the Sandwich Islands to their new
monarch.
The King had appointed his Ministry
Q. c. WYLIE being the most important
parsonage therein.
On January 23th Mr.. GREGG, United
States Commissioner, received dispatch
from Mr.. WYLIE, the Minister Of Foreign
Relations, stating that the latter had been
ordered by the King to discontinue the
negotiations for the annexation of the
island to the United States commenced and
carried on by his late Majesty KANENA-
MEHA III.
On January 25th Commander BAILEY, Of
the U. S. sloop-of-war St. Mary's entered
a strong protest, through the Commissioner
to the Hawaiian Government against the
language of the Kings proclamation Of
December 2sth, which Estates that the
naval force of the United States would be
employed in protecting the Kings sover-

The Alta Californian is dcnouncing IL
new party" rising in that State with the
avowed object Of obtaining large delega-
tion from the Pacific States in congress,
but with the ultimate aim, it charges Of
establishing separate republic, if it can
succeed in sufficiently demoralizing the
public mind for that purpose. At present
(says the Alta) this aim dare not be openly
avowed, but, instead Of one State on the
Pacific, il is proposed to have six, and
then, what with State and Federal officers,
it is thought that every man can have u
good Office with large salary.
LOYALTY TO HIS MAJEsrY.-It would be
hard to find, either in existing governments,
or in the history Of those which have ex-
listed hitherto, q solitary instance where
the supreme executive, whether Emperor,
King Or President, has come to the throne
or assumed the supreme power by election,
with O popularity equal to His Majesty,
Kamehameha ". Indeed we have yet TO
here the first note Of dissent, or the first
murmur Of dissatisfaction, from any Of His
Majesty's subjects.
"OfRcially and legally named as His sue
cessor by His late Majesty, that nomina-
tion was confirmed with the full sanction
Of the chief in the House of Mobiles and
publicly announced long before His late
Majesty's death. When that event occur
red, His Majesty Kamehameha Nv was
publicly FRO :la'med, and the popular voice
confirmed the action Of the House Of No
bley. And not merely have the native
born subjects Of His Majesty express their
satisfaction and loyalty to him, since bis
accession to the throne, but large number
Of foreign-born residents and subjects have
spontaneously presented TO the King their
congratulations and sentiments Of loyalty
and affection from various parts Of the
group. We have already published q
letter or two Of this character, nnd we are
happy to add below another Of the same
nature, all which go TO show that his pres
ent Majesty is seated upon the throne Of his
ancestors as well by the choice Of His sub
jects, as by descent from the only line Of
Kings that has ever reigned over this ma
tion.
"No attempt, we presume, will be made
to convert this fact at the Islands, where lis
truth is apparent to every ono; but for the
information Of the friends Of the Hawaiian
nation abroad we can assure them that no
King ever ascended throne with u more
universal approval Of His subjects, than His
Majesty. Kamahameha w."
LATE FROM AusTRAIIA.---In speaking OF
late advices received from Australia, the
Polynesian says:
Our previous accounts represent civil
war" in progress in the Balarat district,
occasioncd by the enforcement Of the a. H.
cense system" upon gold-diggers. The
news now received represent that affair as
settled and the country quiet. How it
was settled, we are hot informed, us an in-
terval Of "a days occurs, between the 9th
and 3Oth Of December, during which we
have no papers. We infer, however, from
some illusions in the correspondence from
that district, that some bloodshed took
place, in the collision between the troops
and the disafected colonists.
Nothing further is said in reference to
Mr.. Benjamin Boyd, and it may be too
soon 10 look for the return Of the vessel
sent to look after him. e65|-.r
