UPRISING IN TAHITI ISLANDS.
A French Ironclad Brings the Natives to
Time.

San Francisco. Cal, Feb. ID. Paris
Leclaire, late procueur and prosecuting
officer of the French government at Pa
peita Tahiti, brings news of a serious
skirnish which took place between the
French forces and the natives of Raiotea
before he left the islands early in Janu-
airy. The natives rebelled against French
rule and the British flags were raised in
the principal villages.
Leclaire says a French ironclad pro-
ceeded to the scene of the instruction
and bombarded both villages. No troops
were landed but there was considerable
firing from the ship. Guns were brought
to bear on the flag masts from which
the British flags were flying, and flags
and poles were leveled to the ground.
There was no disposition to spill blood
or harm the natives in the slightest, so
were brought down with solid shot.
When this had been accomplished the
war vessel returned to Tahiti.
