A sleek-looking fellow called at the
depot Office Of an express company at ST.

but the agent was not satisfied and opened
the valise, 1t was found 10 contain hun
dreds of counterfeit bills of various de-
nominations, but printed only on one side.

Frenehmen In the so.iety Islands.

News received from Tahita shows
that the natives of the islands are mere
eager than ever 10 have the United States
declare protectorate over the group and
thus save them from the exactions OF the
French. On the main island OF Raiatea
there are 5000 natives, of whom only 1000
have submitted to the French. The head
chief was bribed to sign treaty of sub
mission by an annuity of $4,000, but the
majority of petty chiefs refused to abide
by his compact Their camp is in the
mountains, and it is so strongly fortified
that the French cannot take it without
large reinforcements- The French are
much annoyed by the supplies of powder
and balls which the rebels receive, pre-
sumably from American trading vessels
that land cargoes in places not guarded by
customs officers.
The chief objection of the natives to the
French is the heavy taxes imposed on
rything, including 81 y year for the
privilege of carrying gun. The French
have a scheme for converting young
natives into soldiers and using them
against the rebels, but it is doubtful
whether it will succeed. AS it is now the
5000 rebels cannot be subdued by force.
