THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4

THE North Pacific still continues beyond a question,
to be the most profitable cruising ground known, and
at least three-ffths of all the vessels engaged in the
whale fishery annually visit it. The remaining two
ffths of the fleet are scattered over the North and
South Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian Oceans, each
captain having usually some resort where he has
generally been successful in taking whales, but where
others might fail to find them. AS late as the year
1900, we believe, two hundred barrels OF Oil was
reckoned as a high average for the seasons catch for
vessels engaged in the whale fishery, but the cruising
grounds then were mostly in the North and South
Atlantic; but the average for the North Pacific fleet
for the past FIVE years is above 1000 bbls to each YES
sci. There can be no doubt that it is the most lucra-
tive branch of business which is now carried on, and
in a future number of our paper we shall endeavor to
show that it is the safest and best business that the
merchants of these islands can engage in.
The whaling season of 1856 has now nearly closed.
There will probably be from fifteen to twenty arrivals
of whalers yet. The season at the North has on the
whole been q good one, though q great deal of ice was
met, and whales were very shy, running for the ice
fields at the first alarm. The captains, officers and
crews, we learn from several sources, have never be-
fore worked so hard for their owners as during the
past season. Those who have never witnessed them
know but little of the zeal manifested by the sailors.
lHey uOu L IAO " ItCuIA W pOIG Will u Su1d1 CGVCH,
and the competition, where so many vessels are to-
gether, is often great. Boats crews frequently lay out
all night on the border of the ice, in order to be at
hand and strike the first whale that might appear in
the morning, and frequently one animal is chased by
several ships boats at the anne time.
We have prepared for the mail which leaves this
week for the United States, as full a statement of the
catchings of the fleet as can be made out up to this
date. A few vessels to arrive may change the aver
age we now give. The number Of arrivals given in
our list is about the same as last year at this date,
but the fleet cruising in the North Pacific this year is
probably forty or fifty vessels less than either of the
four previous years. We give below in separate
columns, the total seasons catch and the total amount
on board, and would remark that whale ships gen.
orally hail about ten per cent less than they actually
have on board, which amount, it is supposed, their
cargo will loose by leakage, before reaching home.
1t will be seen that the average for this season thus
far is $50 barrels oil and 10, 900 lbs. bonet to each YES
This average will probably be increased by the few
vessels yet to come in. We give also in the table be-
low the Average annual catchings of the right-whale
fleet for five years, or as far as our data go back

A large quantity of the oil and bone which has en-
tered this port this fall, leaves it in vessels ss home
ward bound" We cannot yet estimate correctly the
amount, but it will be more than half Some fifty or
sixty whale ships are bound home and when not full,
take oil on freight. While speaking of the shipment
OF oil and bone to the United States, we would remark
that we see that the Panama Railroad Company have
made liberal offers to take oil and bone to New York
from whale ships touching in at Panama at 9 cts per
gallon. A late Panama Star contains the following
in reference to this subject
We are informed by the United States Special
Inspector of Customs at this port, that the whale ship
owners IN the United States have addressed a commu-
nlcation 10 the Secretary of the Treasury at Wash
lngton, desiring to know whether their oil, if shipped
across this lsthmus, will be admitted into the United
states on the same terms as if sent round Cape Horn,
to which he has replied that he has given the Special
inspector here instructions in reference thereto, and
that the oil, If landed here by the vessel to which it
originally belonged, can be sent across the Isthmus,
re-shlpped at Aspinwall, and entered at any port in
the united States on the same terms as if taken round
the cape. No transfers at sea, however, are allowed,
as that would give British and French vessels an OBJ
portunity of placing their oil on board American YES
sells, and entering it in the United States on the same
terms as American vessels. The Inspector here is to
examine all the oil thus landed at Panama, brand
the casks, and certify, under seal, to it's disembarka-
ton mere and reshipment at Asplnwall."
The Star remarks that there are now five hundred
American whalers engaged in the Pacific and it is
calculated that one-third of these vessels will send
their cargoes across the Isthmus. This calculation
we think will be found to be premature. We have
conversed with several intelligent captains, who state
that no inducements will lead the ships to visit
Panama, unless expressly ordered to that port by their
owners. 1t is considered an out of the way port,
difficult to reach and difficult to get away from, owing
TO the Gains prevailing in the bay and neighborhood
OF the coast. The loss in leakage from handling the
casks In so warm a climate, would be found to be no
small item. Great care has to be taken with oil, in

v the Editor of the Pacific Com. Advertiser.

To the Editor of the Pacific Com. Advertiser.
I beg to advert briefly, to an article in your last
issue, in which 1 nm called on to vindicate myself
against the charge of obtaining, improperly, the pos
session of important secrets of State, in the custody
of the French Legation here; and also of being ga
dangerous man, and an i~nueterate enemy of French
men,
Ifs defence be necessary the matter can soon be
settled. [ never had a word of conversation with
Mr. Landais in regard to State Secrets. Whatever it
concerned ne to know of political affairs, was easily
obtained without making a tool of him or any one
else. By that kind of taeit understanding which
every gentleman will comprehend, we mutually avoid
ed all reference to national subjects upon which .
difference of opinion might be supposed to exist. 1t
is then utterly untrue that M. Landais ever in any
manner, made me cognizant of matters under his
own confidential keeping, or that of his principal.
Such q charge, if Il thing Of the kind can be- pos
sible, is attrocious and it could only have originated
in the conceptions of a depraved mind.
The public must judge whether [ am o dangerous
man or the enemy of Frenchmen. This is a point
upon which I can say nothing until specifications are
exhibited. The kind treatment invariably receive
in the COMMUNICATION Frenchmen as well as 9TH
ers-leads me to infer that I am not regarded in
quite so dark a light as that in which you are advis-
ed I have been represented.
Justice to M. Perrin requires me to add that, on
the day of the appearance of your last paper, he gave
me voluntarily, the most direct and positive assur-
ance, upon his honor-which no enc can doubt-that
he had never in any way, directly or indirectly, Off
cially or unofficially, charged me with being a dan
gerous parsonage or hostile to Frenchmen, and that
he did not now entertain, and never had entertained,
any such idea. He further said, very properly no
doubt, that whatever was the accusation he had made
against NJ. Landais, it was a matter solely between
himself and his government, which he could not think
of divulging to any one.
What such accusation may have been is therefore
o II matter of conjecture, except so far as the letters to
which you refer disclose it. My only concern with
it results from motives of selfrespect and self-defence.
If I am implicated, I can only say that it has been
the result of a most perverse misrepresentation Of
which no man of intelligence ought to be guilty.
This vindicaeon if you please to call it so. should
have come from another quarter, but opinions are
different on such matters, and 1 have no disposition
to complain. 1t is, however, my opinion that he who
is cited in the public press as the author of a calum-
NOUS charge, should be the first person to disclaimi it
through the same channel.

Honolulu, Nov, %, 1856.

AONO0NAO W. ~S @S'"
To the Editor of the ?. G. Advertiser.
SIR Having read one of the letters received from
Mr.. Landais, in which he mentions the serious charge
of treason brought against him by Mr.. Perrin, the
French Commissioner, [ beg to make q few remarks
concerning the Hon. David L. Gregg, the U. S. Com
missioner, whose character is particularly impeached
in the above accusation. Whatever might have been
the political line of conduct of the American Repre-
sentative, it is utterly false that he ever has shown
himself to be On inveterate enemy Of the French, for
I have witnessed many instances in which that gen.
tleman has lavished the kindest cares of hospitality
on countrymeno of mine who were either neglected or
disdainfully treated by him that should have been
their natural protector. The staunch nationality that
stamps, usually, the acts of the American Commits
sioner is a virtue which the French residents here
would be proud to find in their own Commissioner.
No wonder then that the first is a dangerous man for
the second.
L have no doubt that it will be easy for Mr.. Gregg
to reduce to a falsehood, his pretended share in the
crime reproached to Mr.. Landais. How far Mr..
PERKINS, reports may be credited must be judged
from his conduct towards myself, who have had the
misfortune to be the first consular chancellor under
his orders; for not only has he obtained my revocation
by false reports against me, but has succeeded, up to
this time, in preventing my legal repatriation, at the
expense of the government by whose order 1 repaired
to Honolulu, with my large family. To my repeated
reclamations the Minister answered that I had for
feited my right of repatriation by my refusal to re-
turn to France, after the notification of my dismissal,
and my acceptation of public functions from the
Hawaiian Government. l obtained from the latter an
authentical certificate to prove the falsity of that new
charge-but a last blow soon destroyed all my hope.
[ was reported to be in the secret employment of the
Hawaiian Government from which I had received
already $4,000 to betray the interests of France. L
informed at the time Mr.. Il. c. Wyllie of the manner
in which the dignity of the Hawaiian Ministers was
besmeared in Paris.
Here [ am left an exile by my government, without
knowing when the hour of justice will sound for me.
Seven long years have permitted the author of my
%sufferings to enjoy the fruits of his deed ; and when
he lastly came back from completing my ruin IN
Paris, he said, in presence of Mr.. Remy, the French
naturalist, that Frick finding that he DESCRIBED no in.
terest by himself, got many children to ercite ply.
Thus the Frustrated victim was insulted on account OF
his respectable position as father of eight children.

VESSEL SUPPOSED TO BE LosT.-Capt. M'Ginley, of
the w~haleship Robin Hood, picked up, about Nov. LIST,
in N. Lat. 45, Long. $50, a ships rail, which he
brought into port, and on inquiry finds that it does
not belong to any vessel that is here. Capt. Miller of
the ship Gen. Williams, also saw, in about the same
latitude and longitude, a main mast &c head,' but as
the sea was rougA, could not secure it. The g head''
or '' cap'' of lower mast is a part of a vessel not
likely to be lost, except after serious damage. Fears
are entertained here that the whaling bark Italy of
Greenport mayhave met some disaster, as she left the
Zodiac some three months ago for this port, but has
not been heard of since. She had about 700 bbls of
oil this season.

ExcHANGEs.-The last mail from New York brought
us q good supply of valuable exchange papers and
magazines to which the Commercial had been for
warded. We would here thank the publishers of such
papers as have consented to exchange with US, and
will endeavor to see that our paper is forwarded reg
ularly in return. It should be borne in mind how
ever that our mail communication with San Francisco
is quite irregular-and that sometimes for tiUe sceeks,
as in the present instance, we are without any means
of sending to San Francisco. On the other hand, we
are sometimes sic acee6s, without any mail frow New
York, and in such cases, a large number of exchanges
becomes our reliance in furnishing miscellaneous and
foreign news for our local subscribers.
