HONOLULU, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23,THE MUSICIAN OF AUGSBURG.There lired, at some former time, in the

city of Arjpsburg, a musician whose namewas Nieser. There was no kind of musicalinstrument that he could not fashion with hisown hands, nor was there any upon which hecould not perform indifferently well. He wasalso a composer; and, although none of hiscompositions are now extant, tradition in-forms, us that his reputation in this, as wellas in the other departments of the art, notonly filled the city, but extended through thewhole Circle of Swabia. Other causes con-tributed to swell his fame: he possessedgreat wealth acquired, it was sometimeswhispered, not in the most creditable way ;and the only inheritor of it was a daughter,whose beauty and innocence might well havebeen deemed dowry sufficient, without theprospective charms of her father's posses-sions. Esther was indeed almost as celebra-ted for the softness of her blue eyes, and thesweetness of her smile, and her many kindactions, as old Nieser was for his wealth, andthe excellence of his stringed instruments,and the paucity of his good deeds.Now, in spite of the wealth of old Nieser,and the respect it had obtained for him, andthe musical celebrity which he enjoyed, onesore grievance pressed heavily upon him.Esther, his only child, the sole representa-tive of a long line of musicians, could scarce-ly distinguish one tune from ano her; and itwas a source of melancholy anticipation toNieser, that he should leave behind him noheir to that talent which he held in almostequal estimation with his riches. But, asEsther grew up, he began to take consola-tion in thinking that, if he could not be thefather, he might live to be the grandsire of arace of musicians. No sooner, therefore,was she of a marriageable age, than heformed the singular resolution of bestowingher, with a dowry of two hundred thousandflorins, upon whomsoever should composethe best 6onala, and perform the principalpart in it. This determination he immediate-ly published throughout the city, and ap-

pointed a day for the competition ; and he washeard to affirm, with a great oath, that hewould keep his promise, though the sonatashould be composed by the demon, and play-ed by the fiend's own fingers.

No sooner was the determination of Nieserthe musician known in Augsburg, than thewhole city was in a ferment. Many who hadnever dared to raise their thoughts so high,now unexpectedly found themselves competi-tors for the hand of Esther; for, indepen-dently of Esther's charms and Nieser's flo-

rins, professional reputation was at stake;and where this was wanting, vanity suppliedits place. In short, there was not a musi-

cian in Augsburg who was not urged, fromone motive or another, to enter the lists forthe prize of beauty. Morning, noon, andnight, the streets of Augsburg were filledwith melodious discord. From every win-

dow proceeded the sound of embryo sonatas;nor was auy other subject spoken of through-out the city than the approaching competi-tion, and its probable issue.

But, amidst all this commotion, there wasone who shared not in the general excitation.This was Franz Gottlingen, who, with littlemore musical talent than Esther, possessedone of the oest hearts and handsomest per-sons ia Swabia. Franz loved the daughterof the musician; and she, on her part, wouldrather at any time have heard her own name,with some endearing word prefixed to it,whispered by Franz, than listened to the fin-

est sonata that was ever composed betweenthe Rhine and the Oder. Nieser's decreewas therefore of sad import to both Estherand Franz.

It was now the day next to that upon whichthe event was to be decided, and Franz hadtaken no step towards the accomplishment ofhis wishes; and how was it possible that heshould ? He never composed a bar of musicin his life: to play a simple air on the harp-sichord exhausted all the talent he was mas-ter of. Late in the evening Franz walkedout out of his lodging, and descended intothe street. The shops were all shut, and thestreets entirely deserted; but lights were stillvisible in some of the open windows; andfront these came sadly upon the ear of Gort-ling- en

the sound of instruments in prepara-tion for the event which was to deprive himof Esther. Sometimes he stopped and list-

ened, and hecquld see the fares of the musi-

cians lighted up with pleasure at the successof their endeavors, and in anticipation of theirtriumph.

Gortlingen walked on and on, until atlength Im found himself in a part of the citywhich, all bough be had lived in Augsburg allhis life, he never recollected to have seenbefore. Behind him the sounds of musichad all died away, before him was heard thelow rush of the river, and mingled with itthere came at times faint tones of wonderousmelody. One solitary and far distant glim-

mer snowed that the reign of sleep was notyet universal; and Gortlingen conjectured,from the direction of the sound, that someanxious musician was still ai his task in pre-

paration for the morrow. Gortlingen wentonwards, and as he drew near lo the light,such glorious bursts of hamony swelled upon

the air, that, all unskilled as he was in music,

the tones had a spell in them which more

and more awakened his curiosity as to who

might be the author of them. Quickly andnoiselesalf he went forward until he reachedthe open window whence the sounds proceed--

L a a. I I Ied. Within, an old man sat ai a narpstcnoro,with a manuscript before him; his back

tnu.-i.ri- the window, but an antique and tarnished mirror showed to Gortlin-oe- n

the face and gestures of the musician.Gortlingen could at first scarcely contain

his indignation that this little old man should

dare to enter the lists as one of Esther's sui-

tors; for he could not doubt that he, like the

others he had seen, was preparing for thecompetition: but as he looked and listened,gradually his anger was quelled in contem-

plating Ihe strangely mild countenance of themusician, and his attention fixed by the beau-

ty and uncommon character of the music;and, at length, at the conclusion of a brilli-

ant passage, the peformer perceived that he

had a sharer in his demonstrations of plea-sure, for Gortlingen, in his unrestrained ap-plause, quite drowned the gentler exclama-tions of the mild old man. Immediately themusician rose, and throwing open the door,'Good evening, master Franz,' said he, 'sitdown, and tell me how you like my sonata,and if you think it .likely to win Nieser'sdaughter.' There was something so benig-nant in the old man's expression, and sopleasing in his address, that Gortlingen feltno emnity, and he sat down and listened tothe player. 'You like the sonata, then;'said the old man, when he had concluded it.

'Alas!' replied Gortlingen, 'would that Iwere able to compose such a one!'

'Hearken to me,' said the old man, 'Nie-ser swore a sinful oath, that he would bestow his daughter upon whomsoever mightcompose the best sonata, "even although itwere composed by the demon, and played bythe fiend's own fingers." These words werenot spoken unheard; they were borne on thenight winds, and whispered through the forests, and struck on the ear of them who satin the dim valley; and the demon laugh andshout broke loud upon the calm of midnight,and were answered from the lone depths ofa hundred hills: but the good heard also;and though they pitied not Nieser, they piti-

ed Esther and Gortlingen. Take this roll;go to the hall of Nieser: a stranger willcompete for the prize, and two others willseem to accompany him: the sonata which Ihave given to you is the same that he willplay; but mine has a virtue of its own:watch an opportunity, and substitute minefor his.' When the old man had concludedthis extraordinary

.address, he took Gortlin--

a a a a a a agen uy me nana, ana lea mm dv some unknown ways to one of the gates of the city,and there left him.

At sunset next evening Nieser's hall wasto be thrown open to the competitors. Asthe hour approached, all the musicians ofAugsburg were seen hurrying towards thehouse, with rolls of paper in their hands, andaccompanied by others carrying differentmusical instruments, while crowds were col-

lected at Nieser's gate to see the competitorspass In. Gortlingen, when the hour arrived,taking his roll, soon found himself at Nieser'sgate, where many who were standing knewhim, and pitied him, because of the love hebore the musician's daughter; and they whis-pered one to another, 'What does FranzGortlingen with a roll in his hand: Surely,he means not to enter the lists with the mu-sicians?' Wb'en Gortlingen entered the hallhe found it full of the competitors and amateurs, friends of Nieser s who had been invited to be present. Nieser sat in his chairof judgment at the upper end of the room,and Esther by his side, like a victim arrayedlor saenhce. As Uortlingen made his waythrough the hall, with his roll of music in hishand, a smile passed over the faces of themusicians, who all knew one another, andwho also knew that he could scarcely executea march, much less a sonata, even if hecouia compose one. iNieser, wnen he sawhim, smiled from the same cause: but whenEsther's eye met his, if she smiled at all, itwas a faint and sorrowful smile of recognition,and soon gave place to the tear that stoledown her cheek.

'Let the trial begin,' said Nieser: 'I swearthat I will bestow my daughter, who now sitsbeside me, with a dowry of two hundredthousand florins, upon whomsoever shallhave composed the best sonata, and shallperform the principal part.' 'And you willkeep your oath?' said the stranger, advan-cing in front of Nieser. 'I will keep myoath,' said the musician of Augsburg, 'tho'Ihe sonata should be composed by the demon,and played by the fiend's own fingers.' Therewas a dead silence; a distant shout and faintlaughter fell on the ear like an echo. Thestranger alone smiled: every one else shuddered.

The first lot fell upon the stranger, whoimmediately took his place and unrolled hissonata. Two others, whom no one had observed before, took their instruments in theirhands, and placed themselves beside him, allawaiting the signal to begin. Every eye wasfixed upon the performers. The signal wasgiven; and as the three musicians raisedtheir heads to glance at the music, it wasperceived with horror that the three faceswere alike. A universal shudder crept thro'the assembly; all tras silent confusion; noone spoke or whispered to his neighbor; butevery one wrapt himself up in his cloak andstole away; and soon there were none leftexcept the thrte who continued the sonata,and Gortlingen, who had not forgotten theinjunction of the old man.

Gortlingen stood by the performers, andas they approached what he remembered tobe the courlusion he boldly substituted bisfor the sonata which lay before them. Adark scowl passed over the faces of the three,and a distant wail fell upon the ear like anecho.

Some hours after midnight the benign oldman was seen to lead Esther and Gortlingenout of the hall ; but the sonata still proceeded. Years rolled on. Esther and Gortlingen were wedded, and in due course of timedied; but the strange musicians still labor attheir task, and old Nieser srill sits in hisjudgment-chai- r, beating time to the sonata.When it ends if it ever shall end Estherwill be far beyond the reach of the wickedvow made by the musician of Augsburg.

Life axd its Exd. Remember for whatpurpose you were born, and, through thewhole of life look at its end. Consider,when that comes, in what you will put yourtrust. Not in the bubble of worldly vanity- -it

will be broken: not in worldly pleasuresthey will be gone: not in great connections

they cannot serve you: not in wealth voucannot carry it with you: not in rank in thegrave there is no distinction: not in the re-collection of a life spent in a giddy conformi-ty to the silly fashions of a. thoughtless andwicked world; but in that of a life spent so-

berly, righteously, and godly, in this presentworld.

1848.HERMITAGE PENHA DE FRANCA.

. A favorite walk with the foreign residentsin JHacoa, is to a high hill to the westward,commonly called the Penha; its proper namehowever, is Nillau, on the summit of whichstands the ancient Hermitage Penha deFranca, erected in 1622. After leaving thePraya Granda, the ascent to the hill commences by a rocky and uneven path; at in-

tervals some few steps are excavated to aidthe ascent, but for the most part, one has toscramble over the rocks and stones in novery comfortable manner. The path is verycircuitous, now passing near the entrance tosome Chinese village, guarded by troops oftoe most ugly, ungainly, abominable set ofcurs ever seen. Approach too near, and upthey start from every corner commencing inconcert such horrid yelps through every variation of the gamut, which, although mostannoying, need cause no alarm, for like theirmasters, the ehop-the- k gentry, they are arrant cowards. Again, you are passing closeunder the brink of some old wall, the bluebricks apparently about to tumble upon you,or, through a cluster of Chinese graves.Many tasty dwellings of Portuguese or English residents attract attention; their neatgreen verandas, or bamboo frames coveredwith matting, stretching along the frontwhile now and then, as a gate may be leftopen, the interior discloses a gaudy show offlowers. Une of these, a large and handsome dwelling, was pointed out, as beingformerly the residence ol L,ord .Napier.Near this, on an abrupt rise of ground, maya - aaue seen tne tounaation (laid many yearssince) of what would undoubtedly have beena princety edifice, to judge by the massiveand extensive walls, had not the superstitionof the owner prevented its completion. Itwas intended for the dwelling of a rich Portuguese lady, who commenced the work up-on a scale of grandeur correspondent to herwealth, which is said to have been immenseShortly after ils commencement, some unexpected domestic calamity befell the lady ;

this the wily priests resolved to turn to theirown advantage, instead of breathing com-fort to the afflicted woman, they assuied her,her punishment was just for even wishing toerect so fine a dwelling, and that to avoidother misfortunes equally severe and rescueher own soul from purgatory, she must re-

nounce the pomp and vanities of the world,and bequeath her wealth to the holy church.Give your money,' said they, to the holy

Madre de Deos. and your salvation is secure.' It is needless to say the frightenedwoman did as the reverend padres advised,shut herself up in the convent of Santa Clara,leaving the relict of earthly pride and spiritual superstition to crumble to the ground.

In the centre of the extensive groandswhich these walls enclose, a Chinese familyhave erected their hut, at the door of whicha woman was standing with a child in herarms; my companion addressed a few wordsto her in the Chinese tongue; she smiled.seemingly much pleased, and with all themother's pride, held up her babe for us toadmire no other theme but the praise ofher child could have drawn so much expression into features as unmeaning as the Chinese possess, but now they lit up at oncewith an animation which showed the rightchord had been touched. A stranger cannot but be struck with the similarity of theChinese features; they seem all to havebeen cast in the same mould, all equallv stupid and unmeaning; this may in a measurebe owing to their style of dress, the womenof the lower class, especially those who livein the Tanka boats or San-pan- t, dress somuch like the males, that were it not for thehandkerchief thrown over the head and tiedcarelessly under the chio, it would be difficult to distinguish them; those of a grade ortwo higher, arrange their hair with muchneatness, adorning it either with gold or silver ornaments, or little sprigs of white flowers, and may be seen at all hours walkingup and down the Praya, with merely a bam-

boo umbrella to shield them from the sun;occasionally, also, a lady with the celebrated small feet ' and embroidered slippers,tottles along; this, however, is of rare occurrence, it being only such as have beenreduced from high life, that bears this badgeof cruelty, and proof of illustrious descentabout them. The Chinese brers comparethis unsteady gait in their mistresses, to thegraceful waring of Ihe irillow! It is laughable to see the Cbina-ma- n, with his whitesmall clothes, long robe of blue or blackcrape, awkward shoes, shaven crown andlong braided queue, stepping along so briskly, merely holding up his fan, with all theairs of a belle, to shade him from the raysof the sun.

Having reached the summit of the Penba,the view is charming; in every direction theeye is arrested by the most romantic scenery. .Ihe Penha being at the western

of the peninsula, all Macoa lies before you. It might tiulv be called the cityof hills, for they rise in every direction, pre-

senting a wild and romantic aspect, heightened by the numerous forts and conventscapping their summit. lo the east is thelofty Monte Charil, on which stands FortGuia; directly at its base, a rocky point ex-

tends into the sea, on which is erected FortSt. Francis, with a church bearing the samename. At a little distance from a grove ofbanians, peep forth the white walls of theconvent Saota Clara. Un another elevalion, neatly in the centre of the town, standsthe Monte Fort. Fronting the residence ofthe governor on the Praya, is St. .Peter'sFort, and on the other points equally picturesque are the Bar and Bombarto Forts.Scattered among these lofty hills are thedwellings of the Portuguese, English, andAmerican residents, and separated from nearcommunion with Bartarians, may here andthere be seen the closely-packe- d huts of a

Chinese village, across whose narrow streetsor lanes the inhabitants are rapidly gliding,bearing their little strings of fish, or basketscontaining either the gleanings of the streetsor refuse from some foreigner's table, whileparties of Lascars, Caffres, are wendingamong the hills.

phoons, to which this climate is subject,

combine to give Macoa an air of great anti-quity; thus buildings, in reality quite new.have from these causes a very time-wo- rn as-pect. During the wet season the rain poursdown in torrents or fitful shower for weeks,washing away the chenam or plastering spreadover the exterior of most of the dwellings,and at the same lime rendering ever) thingwithin doors damp and uncomfortable. Thewater drops from the ceiling, and to preservetheir silks and other fine articles from theeffects of the damp, the ladies are obligedto pack them away in tin boxes, wrapped inoiled paper, and otherwise guarded from theair. Then comes the typhoons the windblowing tremendously, tearing off the tilea,sometimes unroofing whole streets, whileover those dwellings on the Praya Granda,the sea rushes furiously, sweeping away theverandas, and often penetrating even intothe drawing-room- s. To add to the terrorof the tempest, during most of the lime thethunder rolls aw fully, teverberating over ihohills and adjacent islands, while the light-ning is incessant and vivid.

The Hermitage Penha de Franca ia verymuch dilapidated, and will soon lc but aruin. A part of it has been lately repairedand rendered tenantable for a few old friar.It is surrounded by a high black wall,

some distance. On one part of it iaerected a rude stone cross, which Portu-guese ships passing the Penha, are in thehabit of saluting by firing a few gun.

Turkish Habits or Bathimc. The Turksare proverbially fond of bathing and frequentablutions; and abundance of water i a lux-

ury in such a climate. 'The fountains areamong the chief beauties of Constantinople.In each piazza, in the centies of the courtof all the mosques, in every market, end atthe corner of many streets, one of these i

to be seen, not like those of Italy, formed ingrotesque or classical shapes, and ornamen-ted with figures of various kinds, but a tegu-lar square structure, adornod with sentencefrom the Koran, and furnished with a spouton each side. There is something in Turk-ish buildings which is characteristic of apeople always dignified, never trilling, with-

out imagination, and shunning with religiouaawe, the likeness of anything in earth, air,or sea. Everything in this country has aconnection, seen or unseen, with religion;and even the abundance of fountains is ow-

ing to the duty of frequent ablution enjoinedby the Mahommedan tarred volume. A of-

ten as the Turk i called to prayer, so oftenis he directed to wash his face, neck, hands,and feet, previous to that holy exercise; andthus the fountain become a necessary apen-dad- ge

to the mosque. In this hot climate,nothing contributes so much to the generalhealth of the people, next to their moderateuse of meat and wine, a their frequent useof water. Establishment are found in allparts of the city, where a poor man may enjoy the luxury of a hot both for a penny.These are generally crowded at certain hourby men, at others by women; sofas, coffee,sherbets, and chibouque, are supplied to thebathers, and the greatest order prevail.' Toobviate the inconveniences resulting from ascarcity of w ater, the einrors built cisterns,or reservoirs, on a gigantic scale, in differ-

ent parts of the city? but four only of theaeare now in existence. One measure twohundred and forty feet in length, by two hun-

dred feet in breadth, and ha a depth of fivefathoms. That called 'the subterraneanhouse' (yerek balan serai) is the moat re-

markable of these works.

Bravert. It has been said that a prudentgeneral will always before an engagementsecure the mean of retreating. Such, how-

ever was not the case w ith the Duke of Wel-

lington, when he fought the battle of Water-loo, with defile in hi rear. If he hod lostthat battle, which he would have done if for-

tune had not favored him in a remarkablernanuer, his army would have been annihila-ted. Lord Nelson, at the battle of Copen-

hagen, when told by an officer that AdmiralParker had made the signal for recalling the)

ships under his command, who were aboutengaging the enemy, made this memorablereply 'You are aware that I hate tut oneye, and I must keep that on the enemy.' Itis said that Napoleon, in all hi nuiueroubattles, never made any arrungemt-ii- t fr aretreat if unsuccessful. He alwnj a calcula-ted upon getting the victory. It i relatedof Sir Charlca Coote, a distinguished Irishgeneral, that when he commanded a body .ftroops for the purpose of supptrsaing a re-

bellion in Ireland, urged, in a couacti of wr,the propriety of fassiug certain defile andcauseways, before the enemy could get to-

gether to oppose them. To which it was re-

plied, it might be so, but when the countrywas alarmed how should they get hack? 'Iprotest,' exclaimed Sir Charles, 'I neverthought of such a thing in all my life. I al-w-ay

consider how to do uy buin-- , andwhen that waa dune, I got home a well aa I

could, and hithetto I have not u.i-tw- of for-

cing my way.'

Freedom or Mis d. We call that mind

free which is not imprisoned in itself or in asect; which rerogtiizea in all human being

the image of God, and tho right of hi

children; which delight in virtue., and aym-pathis- es

with uflVring whenever they areseen; which conquer pride and sloth, andoffer itself up a willing victim to the causaof mankind. We call that mind free whichis not pasaively formed by outward circum-

stances; which is not the creature of acci-

dental impulse but which bend event tuit own improvement, act upon an inwardspring from immutable principle which ithas deliberately espoused. We call thatmind free which protect itelf against theusurpations of society; which does not cow-

er to human opinions; which feel itself ac-

countable to a higher law than that of fash-

ion; which respect itself loo much to b

THE POLYNESIAN.HONOLULU, SATURDAY. DEC. 23.

K5 Upon taking charge of the Government

Organ (it is merely a arrange-raen- t)

we feel that a short voluntary or over-tur- e

bv way of introduction, may be expected ofusually precede seru, as such performances

vice in countries where churches, and not oniy

churches, are more organised than they are

here. In our new position, then, we hasejip

wish to be over noisy or warlike, and if ever we

should meet any brother of our craft in the field

of argument, he must, and we say it good-h- u-

moredly, show himself worthy of our encounter.

A person well skilled in the use of the gentle

manly foil, may spend many an agreeable Hour,

when the mood is on him, jn opposition to one

who is also expert in the use of the same weap

on: although we fancy we see him, with very

uerceiveable stiffness, decline any trial with a

felbw who comes bullying up with a twirl of

his low life club, solely confident in animal spir

it and long wind.- -

The Government Organ ! well, for our part

we dearly like the mild persuasive treble stops,

which breathe the very soul of harmony and op

position to every thing that is base, but at the

same time we shall be obliged to cease our ireMr when an opponent is really about to double

to our prejudice.Original matter we shall prefer, as a general

thing to extracts when we can procure it. But

this is not a writir.g community, anJ manuscript,

thev sav. fetches its price. So if we have no

way left us to compete with our contemporaries,

but by borrowing from other publications, we

shall be there; and our cry will not be 1 rear to

the knife,' but ' tear to the $cissor$.' .

As bound by duty, yet more by inclination, we

shall from time to time offer such explanations as

we think in season, with regard to the policyand doings of Government, if haply we may be

able to wipe away a little misapprehension and

prejudice, for misapprehension there will be,and prejudice too, w hile grass grows and waterruns. At the same time we disclaim for our-sel- f,

in assuming this new office, any relinquish

ment of our independence of mind or liberty ofexpression. Would that it left our body as free !

As though it were not task enough lor one man

either to write or else to read what newpaersin Honolulu are made of,-w- e are obliged to write

ind then to read what we have written. Tomention nothing of other proofs besides ourown, some of which we fear will turn out to be

proofs of any thing but love.So, kind patrons, let us be on good terms;

write often, and in your favors remember thatgolden rule of punctuation, that one sentencemust be finished off with a period liefore another begins; in other words, only write to thepoint. But above all things, let us, for obvious

reasons, know who our contributors really are,

With these very few remarks, then, we begour readers to consider us fully in command,without having entangled ourselves by promisesnever to be kept. '

X3 la our present number, we publish ail thedocuments relating to the audience had of theKing, on the 13th instant, by the Cousul Generalof Great Britain, the Commissioner of the Uni-

ted States, nnd the Consul of France, when theypresented a joint letter of protest and remons-

trance against Mr. Judd, the Minister of Finatice,and to which each added a separate address.

Of the particular act which ostensibly gave causeto this proceeding of theirs, we have, at present,nothing to say.

Every one who peruses the documents will besatisfied that the King received the protest in per-

fect good part. Grateful for favors received atthe hands of their resjiective governments, with

all politeness he ordered bis Minister of ForeignRelations to make the gentlemen courteous re-

plies, and to offer explanations. Had these latterbeen careful to restrict their protest to that partof Mr. Judd's conduct which they allege to haveaffected them personally, the course pursued by

the King would hardly have been so worthy ofnote.

The way in which foreign interference in the

particular and private affairs of an independent

government is regarded elsewhere, at this day,will appear from the letter of the Duke of Soto-may- or

to Mr. E. L. Bulwer, copied, with its ac-

companiments, in another column The reader

must neither forget how utterly weak Spain (solong distracted) is when compared with GreatBritain, nor the position those two countries nowhold to each other. Spain, as a kingdom, sooneror later owes her existence to England, and is

grateful, yet see the language she uses, and the

steps she takes wbeu Lord Palmerstoii offers,through Mr. Bulwer, his very mild and gentle-

manly advice, in connection with the iute.nalaffairs of that country.

But suppose, as Mr. Dillon gives the King tounderstand, in his separate address, such interference, in extreme cases, is coming into fashion,and allowing that Mr. Judd has clearly taken a

very false step iu the matter of the manuscripts,were his other acts so dangerous in themselves,

uad in their consequences so subversive of all

order, as to warrant, on the part of the Consul ofFrance, a departure from the astablished law ofnations? Did he even see In-for- him an extreme

case? The lifc'bt in which he regarded the stephe took is shown in M. Dillon's own words:- -

;It is, no doubt, an extremely delicate thing, tointerfere as we are doing at mis moment, in meinternal affairs of an inder.enpent kingdom, but,although precedeut of the kind ars and ought tobe rare, there are several sucti to oe lounu iuenntemnorarv historv. The affairs of Switzerland, those of Belgium, those of Spain herself,have given rise, within the last Few year, w fo-

reign intervention, the adjacent states havingbeen equally interested in putting a stop to in.;anarchy that eonsutned them.'

So it is useless to say anything on that head, toprove what is already granted. But we ask,Was the necessity for instant action so urgent?

Was the gentleman, and were those claiming his

protection in - a predicament of danger? Was

the strength of forbearance so nearly exhausted,

and had every constitutional and legal channel for

obtaining redress proved useless? Was the cri-t- is

so eminent, that he felt a duty to have devol-

ved upon him superior and paramount to those

laws which nations bow to? The acts of the

person protested against, were at the time, and

had been for more than two weeks (and the gen-

tleman knew it), the subject of an investigation,

THEcomprising almost if not all of the acts he could

have in view, declared or not declared, so iar m

Air. Judd was concerned, save this last one rela-

tive to the manuscripts. As to the other Minisbut M. uni-

on'shave nothingters wrong doing, we

assertion. Every man will judge for him

self, whether the necessity of bringing one more

item to bear upon a minister against whom some

one hundred and fifty charges, at least, had al

ready been preferred, and were in the course ot

examination, was so entirely irressistiuie as to

warrant a breach of diplomatic rule, and a sece- -

dence from the law of nations. W hether, in

fact, in spite of the quiet investigation that was

going on, and which argued to the contrary, things

were in such a state of anarchy, that to wait a

little was impossible.We cannot help feeling that this government

is very young, and its diplomatists mere tyros in

their art, and such being their position, nothing

could be more serviceable to them than correct

example on the part of thoce who represent old

established countries, and as n point of policy, ifthese latter wish those whose interests they are

sent here to guard to have the advantage of a

plain rule in the law and one which shall never

be departed from, they cannot do better than lend

on to this bappy state of things (if it has not

been arrived at already) by a strict adher-

ence to those laws by which they are themselves

to be guided. The last sentence in Consul Gene-

ral Miller's separate address expresses an honest

wish, and one in which all can reciprocate. And

M. Dillon may well take a hint, for can he bet-

ter prove his zeal for justice and common sense,

and for laws which shall not defeat justice by

technicalities, or prejudice the poor to lavof the

rich, than by clearly demonstrating in bis ow "I

acts that, as he reads the laws of nations, they

were never intended to be applied with advan-

tage to the 6trong and neglected towards the

weak.

If the declaration of our King's independenceby America, England and France amount to any-

thing, respect his prerogative as an independentsovereign: and if it amount to nothing why do

those great countries send their formally accredited agents to reside near his court? And ifthis young Hawaii, this juvenile kingdom, real-

ly be as a great many kindnesses would indicate

rather a pet of those powers, they cannot tetterdeclare the fact at this hour, than by encourag-

ing their young favorite to maintain a inanlvposition and continuing to take UMn itself theresponsibility of its acts to claim on every occasion independence and resject. The Consul

General's separate address contains principlesand sentiments of the description needed, and

which taken in connection with his mode of de-

livering them, have produced upon the King andhis chiefs an effect of the most happy kind.Mr. Ten Eyck's address was also full of courtesy. Both in fact were as proper as any thinscould be.

At least we believe so; for to tell the truththere still lurks a kind of doubt upon our mind.The Cousul General was bred to arms and theU. S. Commissioner was educated for the barunder a republican government. Is it possiblethen that they can be more skilled in the subtillines of diplomacy and know better what is dueto kings in their reception rooms than one whoit is said served for years about a court celebra-ted throughout the world for its address, its tactand its politeness. Or does the Consul of Franceperhaps wish to disown his former connectionwith M. Guizot in the service of Louis Phillipeby assuming a behavior the very reverse of whatthat illustrious statesman and his master wouldhave admired in him. If so be will do well toremember that though the form of her government may have altered, the honor of France andher perception are still unimnared. Had it notbeen for the most unexpected use Mr. Dillonmade of the audience granted by the King, theprotest and remonstrance would not have elicited many remarks of ours. But finding himselfin the presence, that gentleman pursued a coursewhich amounted to what the lawyers would cull

a 'surprise;' and a surprise it certainly was,particularly in view of the quarter it came from,

Forgetting what was due to the King, to his owngovernment, to the parties singled nut, to thosewho were joined with bim, and even to the M

Dillon of a former day, he discarded all rulesand precedents and brought an accusation againstthe King's entire cabinent: he having been nd

initted within the palace, remember, for thespecific and previously understood purpose of:

protesting against the conduct of Mr. Judd.And having been previously informed thai HisMajesty was indisosed and had risen purposelyto receive him and his collengue in the protest.he kept the invalid standing while he made allusions, we should think any thing but rheeringunder the circumstances, to the strength ofl

France as opKsed to the imbecility of Hawaii;threatened the certain inforcemeut by cannonadeand bombshell of every thing he, as Consul of:France, might demand in her name, and divulgedcuriuus doctrines, more original th in pleasing,

But of these sayings nnd doings we shall oneday bear more. So enough Vet in commonfairness to the gentlemen w horn he nccompanied, we must add that they appeared as unprepared fur these proceedings as the Kinj; him-

self, and we know that at least one of them hassince expressed himself on the subject in verystrong terms of disapprobation and no wonder.

How to Prt isto Secrets. There are twoways of finding out secrets which you wish todiscover; one by jirofessing yourself wholly ig-

norant, and curious about the subject; the otherby appearing wholly informed. In the formercase, vanity will induce a disclosure; in the lat-

ter, tbe conversation that ensues will developew hat is hidden. These different methods be-.ng-

'tn

different occasions and different persons.The latter is more delicate and mure certain, butdemands more tact. . ;

MoRAtiTT. The truths of morality, like allother truths, are discovered only by trials an !

experiments. The principles of moral conductwould be totally insignificant if they did not

lead to some ends; and if. a certain manner ofexercising our faculties, a certain manner of acting, had not been found, by repeated experi-

ments, to hare made us happy, and a different

manner to bave made us unhappy, we should

never have bad any principles of morals.

PQT VttttSIAN. SATURDAY, DECEMBERfX A serious difference between the Ambas

sador of Great Britain and the Spanish Minis-

ters has occurred; and it is even stated" that de-

spatches have been sent to request Mr. Bulwer's

recall. The letter of Lord Palmerstoii, ami the

sulwequent tetter of Mr. Bulwer to the Spanish

Minister Sotomayor, in the following correspon-

dence, caused the rupture:Foreign Office, March 16, 1849.

To the Right Hon. Henry Lytton Bulxeer:Sir, I have to recommend you to advise the

Spanish Government to adopt a legal "I inst-itutional system. The recent downfall of theL' imr nr rnp I-- renrh and his family, and the expulsion of bis Ministers, ought to indicate to theSpanish Court and Government the dancer towhich they expose themselves in endeavoring togovern a country in a manner opposed to thesentiments and opinions of the nation; and thecatastrophe which has just oecurreu in rramcis sufficient to show that even a numerous and

ed army offers only an insufficient.tof-nr-f. to the Crown, when the system followedby the Crowii is not in harmony witn tne general system ot tne country. .

The Queen of Spain would act wisely in thepresent critical slate of affairs, if she were tostrengthen her Executive Government by widen-

ing the bases on which the Administration repos-es', nnd in calling to her councils some of themen in whom the Liberal party places conndeuce. I have the honor to be, &.C.,

Palmebsto.English Embassy, Madrid, April 7, 194$.

To HiM Excellency the Duke de Sotlomauor:Sir I enclose to vour Excellency the copy

of some remarks which Lord Palmerston haslately addressed to me: and I cannot but ex-

press to you all the desire which I feel that theGovernment of her Catholic Majesty shoulddeem it fit to return without delay to the ordina-

ry forms of the Government established in

Spain, by convoking the Cortes, and by givingthem explanations caicuiaiea to enace me

occasioned, both in the kingdom andabroad, by the arrest and apparent intension to

banish several citizens (amongst w horn are to be

found some of the most distinguished niemnersof the Cortes), who up to the present momenthave neither been tried uor accused of any of-

fence.Your Excellency will, I am sure, jermit ine

to remind you. that what especially distinguish-

ed the cause of Queen Isabella from that of herroyal competitor, was the promise of constitu-

tional liberty inscribed on the banner of herCatholic Majesty.

It is certain that that circumstance mwerfullycontributed to obtain the sympathy and supportof Great Britain in favor of her Majesty; anil

consequently your Excellency cannot be surprised at the sentiments wnicn i express m-r-

supposing even that the general situation of Europe, and the universal tendency oi puuuc opin-ion, did not prove most clearly that at presentthe firmest guarantees of a throne are to liefound iu the national liberty, and in the enlight-ened justice which are dispensed under its au-

thority.I avail myself of this occasion to renew to

the assurance of highestyour. .

The Duke de Sotomayor to Mr. Buheer:Sir. I yesterday received, after two days' de- -

luv. a note from your Excellency, datd the 7ihinstant, and enclosing a copy of a despatch of j

Lord Palmerstoii, dated the Itth ultimo, relativeto the internal affairs of this country. Thatnote was already known to the Government ofher Majesty, because it bad appeared in sul- -

stance and by anticipation in an opposition journal published at .Madrid under the title ot tneLlamor rublico; whim, judging ironi mis lari,has' the advantage of being made acquaintedwith tlie diplomatic despatches which your x- -

cellency addresses to the Spanish Governmentlielore they reacn ineir oesimaiioii. veilingaside the ulterior commentaries and the induc-

tions which such a grave and significativemiifht present to me, I shall content

myself w ith telling you whit my duty presentto me on the subject of the communicationswhich you transmit to me.

At the date of the ltth of March last, whenl.ord Palmerstoii sent you his despatch, theSpanish Cortes were sitting; the press was com-

pletely free; and the Government of her Majes-ty had adopted a line of conduct full of kind-

ness and conciliation, which its enemies and itsadversaries themselves were compelbd to ad-

mit. What motive can, therefore, have inducedthe Minister of Foreign Affairs of her Britan-nic Majesty to make himself the interpreter ofthe feelings and the opinions of this country,and that in an unfitting tone when speaking ofthe Government of an independent nation, torecommend to its adoption legal and constitu-tional measures, as if such was not the conductfollowed in Spain; to allow himself to advise itto modify the bases of the Administration, andto admit into the councils of the Crown men

to such or such a olitical opinion?Certainly the Minister of her Britannic Maj-

esty is not in such a work, the lies! possible judgeof "the character and habits of Spain, whenceorder and institutions arise, since foreigners takeno active part in the management of public affairs, nnd have to support no particular party.

I'he nresent Cabinet, which has merited andwhich still merits tbe entire confidence of theQueen and the Cortes, and which since its ac -

cession to power has governed conformably tothe constitution and to the laws this Cabinet,I sav. cannot see without extreme surprise theextraordinary pretention of Lord Palmerston,which leads him to interfere in this manner withthe internal affairs of Spain, and tosupjMirt hint--self on inexact and equivocal data. the qu.ilific.-i- -

But, so fir, a the Consul of France, in bisaid separate addre, ha permitted himself, iu

citizen, M. Lamartine and Ba slide; ando f r a tbe Consul has ieruiitted himself to

prejudge the view of the French Republic up-

on hi own demands, and nsert in her name,that she, in the dismissal of the King's presentMinister, aud the substitution of Hi chiefs, iuheir room will be happy to find this additional

tnotire for foltmrine up to the letter the Trea-ti- n

his situation of Hawaiian Minister (acceptedonlv provisionally), has not lieen incommtiblewith British interest, prorly undcrsto..d;while he retain hi- - resent post, he w ill supportthem to the best of his humble abilities, on aprinciple of fairness to all other nations, (theBritish Government have rejieatedly disavowed

their wish for any paramount interest) and ofstem and impartial justice, so far as it deendsuimiii him, w herever the natives are concern.!, so

that when he retires, he may not leave the na-

rett, clerk to Mr. Judd, Minister of Finance.given, under oath, on Tuesday, the 19th ofiecetnDer, belore the Koyal CommissionersWitness copied into the letter book of the

Treasury Office, a letter written somew here aboutthe lOih of August last, by M. Dillon, the Con-sul of France, cnntaii ing expressions derogatory,to Mr. Wyllie, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.j oai letter stated thatiilr. Wyllie was intrigu-ing with other persons to destroy the independence ol the Islands, and make them over toEngland. In that letter, M r. Dillon recommendsMr. Judd to take charge himself of the ost ofr oreign Halations. " " " 9

The w itness replied that Mr. Dillon statedthat Mr. Judd could take charge of the ForeignDepartment; that "Mr. Paty -- hould be made Mi-

Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of yesterday, addressed to theConsul of France and to niysel, covering copiesof a despatch and of its enclosure, forwardedby you to the Commissioner of the United Stateson the 15th instant; all of which I have trans-mitted to Monsieur Dillon for hi perusal.

I regret to lie obliged to add that, after care-fully examining those pajiers myself, they donot tend to alter my view as expressed conjoint-ly w ith my colleagues in our letter to the Kingon the 13tb instant, respecting the extraordinarycourse adopted by Dr. Judd in obtaining certainmanuscript paers for the declared purpose ofimpugning our conduct; and I am moreover ofopinion, that if such acts are allowed to passwith impunity on the part of this Government,on the ground set forth in your communicationto Mr. Ten Eyck, especially on the ple.i of iheirbeing merely a violation of a conventional rule,that no document possessed by any person onthese Island could be considered in perfectlysafe custody, the individual authority assumedby the .Minister of Finance on the present oc-

casion lieiug, I think I an safely say, unheardof liefore in any country whatever.

A Police Sketch. It is most astonish-ing, said Richard Mervyn, as he relinquish-ed the attempt to rise from the gutter, at thecorner of Sixth and Prune streets; ' it is re-a- ll

astonishing how soon this dreadful cli-

mate of America brings on old age. I shallnever get home to write a book about theplace never. Here am I, six feet two,without my stockings, sprawling ia a dirty,republican gutter, without being able to helpmyself out of it. There's that lamp winkingand blinking iu my face, as if it wants tolaugh, and would if it had a mouth; and abig-brut- of a dog just smelt of me, to see ifI was good to eat. What a country! whatgutters! and what liquor! I only took ninesmallers, and what with that and the prema-ture old age, I verily believe I'm a gonechicken.'

Mr. Mervyn now clamored so loudly, thatassistance soon came.

' Silence, there! What's the matter? ''Matter yourself! I'm being done, or as

some people say, I'm doing. The march ofmind has tripped, and Richard Mervyn is toodeep for himself. Help me out; gentle;there. Ai'nt I in a pretty pickle. This iswhat the doctor calls gutia screna, isn't it? '

When I was at school, the boys wouldhave called you a gutteral.'

'They would 'nt have known much gram-mar, if they did. I'm a liquid; see medrip.'

Oh! oh! said the watch, ' don't try to befunny; I know you well enough, now you'vewiped your face. You're the chap thatlocked me up in my box once; and when Iburst open the door, you knocked me heelsover head, and legged it."

' That's me. I di3 that thing. How didyoii like the ups and downs of public life ?

Isn't variety charming? .

'If it wasn't that 1 am a public functiona-ry, and mustn't give way to my feelings, I'dcrack your cocoa, and ease my mind by do-

ing as I was done by. I'll make an exampleof you, however. You'rs my prisoner. Hut-t- y

cooshay to the watch'us. That's theDutch for being took up.'

' Well, give us your arm. Don't be afraidof the mud. Gutter mud is very wholesome.Look at the pigs; how fat it makes 'em; andif you like fat pork, why shouldn't you likewhat makes pork fat? So, so; steady. Now,I'll tell you all about t'other night. I waspassing your box in a friendly, promiscuoussort of a way; I thought you were asleep,or had run down, and I turned the key towind you up. If a watch ain't wound up, itcan't either keep good time, or even go.'

Fhom the Journal of a Ba.lloo.mst.Passing" a rloud, I put out my band and tooka piece of it, and squeezed it like a sponge,and the water ran out. The sun went northabout, but never set.

We camenear a hail-ban- k, and filled a hat to bringdown with us. The hailstones were about aslarge as a pigeon's egg. ' A thousand milesabove the earth we passed throug a field ofturkey-buzzard- s. This would seem to betheir region, and accounts for the circumstance that no one has ever found a nest ofone of these. These rookeries are out ofsight in the atmosphere.

Absurdities. To attempt to borrow mon

about it. To ask the publisher of a new

periodical how many copies he sells perweek. To ask a wine merchant how old his

wine is. To make yourself generally disa- -

cause you won't have a tire till November.To suppose that reviewers generally readmore than the title page of the works theypraise or condemn. To judge of people'sDiety by their attendance at church. Tokeep your clerks on miserable salaries, andwonder at their robbing you. Not to go tobed when you are tired and sleepy, because

it is not bed-tim- e.' 1 o make your servantstell lies for yeu, and afterwards be angry because they tell lies for themselves. To tellyour own secrets, and believe other peoplewill keep them, lo render a man a servicevoluntarily, and expect him to be gratefulfor it. To expect to make people honest byhardening them in a jail, and afterwardssending them adrift without the means of getting work. To fancy a thing is cheap be-

cause a low price is asked for it. To saythat a man is charitable because he subscribes to an hospital. To keep a dog or acat on short allowance, and complain of itsbeing a thief. To degrade human nature inthe hope of improving it. To praise thebeauty of a woman s hair belore you knowwhether it did not once belong to somebodyelse. To expect that your tradespeople willgive you long credit if they generally seeyou in shabby clothes. To arrive at the ageof fifty, and be surprised at any vice, folly,or absurdity your fellow-creatur- es may beguilty of.

Life ix Missouri. A member elect ofthe lower chamber of the legislature of thisstate was last year persuaded by some wagsof this neighborhood, that if be did not reachthe state-hou- se at ten o'clock on the day ofassembly, he could not be sworn and wouldlose his seat. He immediately mounted withhunting-froc- k, rifle, and Bowie-knif- e, andspurred till he got to the door of the state- -house, where he hitched his nag. A crowdwere in the chamber of the lower house, onthe ground floor, walking abott with hatson, and smoking cigars. These he passed,ran up stairs in the senate-chambe- r, set hisrifle against the wall, and bawled, 'Strangers, Khars the man tnat sworns me in:at the same time taking out his credentials.' Walk this way,' said the clerk, who wasighting a real Principe, and he was sworn

without an inquiry. When the teller cameto count noses, he found there was ene senator too many present. The mistake w assoon discovered, and the huntsman Was informed that he did not belong there.

'Fool who, with your corn bread!' heroared. ' You can't flunk this child, no howyou can fix it. I'm elected to this here leg- -islatur, and I II go agin all banks and eter-nal improvements, and if there's any of youoratory gentlemen wants to get skinned, justsay the word, and I'll light upon you like anigger on a wondchuck. My constituentssent me here, and if you want to floor thistwo-legg- ed animal, hop on. just as soon asyou like. Though I'm from the back coun- -try, I'm a leetle smarter than any otherquadruped you can turn out ol this drove.

Alter this admirable harrangue, he puthis Bowie-knif- e between his teeth and tookup his rifle, with, Come here, old Suke,and stand by me ! ' at the same time presenting it at the chairman, who, however, hadseen such people before. After some expos-tulation the man was persuaded that he be-

longed to the lower chamber, upon which liesheathed his knife, flung his gun on hisshoulder, and with a profound congee, re-

marked, 'Gentlemen, I beg your pardon,but if I did'nt think that ar lower room wasa groggery, may I be shot.' Warrenton(N. C.) Reporter.

Co.t.tcbial Bliss. It has been recordedby some anti-connub- ial wag, that when twowidowers were once condoling together onthe recent bereavement of their wives, oneof them exclaimed, with a sigh, ' Well mayI bewail my loss, for I had so few differences with the dear deceased, that the last dayof my marriage was as. happy as the first.'t TM - 1 i - f - a -- j.i uere i surpass you, saia nis inena, lorthe last day of mine was happier.

Different Wats of Doixg the SameThing. ' Pray excuse me,' ssid a welldressed young man to a young lady in thesecond tier of boxes at the theatre, ' I wishto go up stairs and get some refreshmentsdon t leave your seat. A sailor seated inthe box near his sweetheart, and disposed todo the same thing, rose and said, ' HarkeeMoll, I m going aloft to wet my whistle,don t tall overboard while I am gone.'
