tive San Francisco Correspondent thus writes US per
DreldHOught d" In my last l alluded TO the interest

ne so ready Il listener TO his grievances as to his
Hawaiian affairs, aud how badly they we're being

ment in relation to the sheep on the Island of Kahoo-
lave. His Majesty has become acquainted with the

tious Of the Sandwich Islands is made aware Of that
fact. that further shearings will be prevented, mas.
much as it is extremely detrimental to His, the En-
peror's interests. Before calling the attention Of
His Excellency 10 the subject, Fearing that His
Exccllency the Minister Of Foreign Afairs will open
q correspondence with me on the subject, the end Of

ties engaged in it would ever see the termiua:ion,)
l think it best 20 advise you concerning it; and
should you give it a semi otfcial notice in your paper.

perty may celse, and any disturbance to the present
amicable feelings now existing between HIS Majesty
Norton /. and the Government OF the Hawaiian
