Editor of the Pacific Com. Advertiser.
SIR An attorney on behalf Of Rixman & Co.'S
case vs.. the Collector General of the Custom House,
having applied to me for information concerning the
Interpretation Of political treaties, [ have returned the
following answer of which the contents may not be
Indifferent to your readers:
SIN answer to the two questions which. you adj
dressed to me in your letter of the 18th inst, [ have
the honor to say that, if in former days, many inter-
national treaties were accompanied by their interpre-
tative satellites, it was owing to the intentional obscu-
rity Of such political contracts at the time when di-
plomacy was not, rs it is generally now, the art of
regulating the Intercourse between nations, upon a
sincere and honorable basis.
The existing treaty of France with Hawaii, belong
ing to the latter description of conpacts, its clear
stipulations did not call for any interpretation, and
the initiative Of such an act may entirely be attributed
10 the present French Commissioner, who perverted
the plain sense of the 9th article, in his letter to the
Minister, r. c. Wyllie, of the 18th June, 1856. By
That interpretation, Mr.. Perrin deprived the French
u .Gn: J interest Of the extension of the low duty of 5
per G.. adj valorem, which the treaty had granted
to it's depots, without distinction, as to the origin of
the merchandise. Such an opinion, to the detriment
of the French commerce, being consequently to the
advantage cf the Hawaiian treasury, Mr.. Wyllie was

by the same article, until opposed blythe interference
of other Representatives, who do understand in a diff
ferent manner the 9th article and it's bearing on the
commercial relations of their respective countries.
Had Mr.. PERKINS, Interpretation not been favorable
TO the custom House claims of this kingdom, the gov
eminent of this archipelago would certainly not
have adopted it for an interpretation cannot be i'm
posed by one of the contracting parties to the other
without the latter's acquiescence. That understand
ing, however, could not affect the British treaty which
was beyond the reach of Mr.. PERKINS, mutilating act.
Great Britain became, in consequences, the sole most
favored nation, and the buckler of all the countries,
that had acquired the right of being treated upon the
same footing.
1 am sorry to find that Mr.. PERKINS, eyes alone
were filmed over in this instance, for the Commits
sioners of Great Britain and Of the United States who
were invited to express their opinion on the same
subject, in the same month, as Nj. Perrin gave an
answer Numerically in contradiction with the French
views of the question:
I am, etc.

TIE Agricultural Society. Fair.

MR. EoiroR.-Alow me through your columns, to call the at
tention Of the members of the r. II. Agricultural Society, and all
others interested in the welfare OF the annual meeting and ex-
bibitt5n. nov near at hand. Ifthia so&sty is TO. flourish, IL in
,tcesi it is 10 exist, more interest must be manifested. ard more
efforts mace in its behalf, than has been shown of late. Another
exhibition like that of last year will be the death blow to the So
ciety. 1 know It is very difficult, as long as we are deprived of
the 4cilities afforded by an interisland steamer, for contributors
to forward their articles for exhibition, or attend themselves. but
still a hearty desire to aid in the prosperity of the society can
overcome all obstacles.
The Agricultural Society can do mitch good if its efforts are
vigorous and expended in the right direction. Those members
wnc are engaged 10 agricultural pursuits, must bear in mind
thai the society IS mainly sustained by residents of Honolulu,
non agriculturists, who are willing to pay the annual tax of
membership, so long as the annual exhibitions are creditable
and attractive, and give evidence that the association is accom-
plishing good, and exerting a beneficial influence. 1t rests with
the agricultural members TO do this, and unless they perform
their Part, they cannot expect that the society will be supported.
Let AL then who desire this society to flourish, and to increase
its usefulness, rally at once, and contribute to render the COM
ing exhibition one that will be both creditable and encouraging.
Give us Of the produce of your fields, and of your brains.
The fruits c. your farms 20 grace our tables, and the fruits of
your experience 10 grace our reports. Let this exhibition be but
a fair display II " lat these Islands really can produce, and not
only the stranger out the resident viii be delighted and sur
prsed.
THE native society holds its first exhibition on the same day
witt the other association. Let US wake up noiC, or we shall be
handsomely beaten, and only rub our eyes open in time to see
ourselves distanced By our infant competitor.
