ing, A happy country the U. States-gOv- erned without aking.'

 The missionaries have wrought wonders among these people but their work is yet far from being complete and fear,about this time, their labors wiilbe interrupted by civilwar. The queen, inwhOm the regency of the.island is vested, during the minority of young POmare, the heir apparent to the throne, has recently married, contrary to the wishes of many of her subjects, partic- ulafly those who inhabit the South side of the fsiand-and they are the stronger par ty, and insist upon the queens abdication, or, dissolution of the marriage. But as her majesty does not think proper to com- ply with either of those demands, in which refusal she will be supported by this district and mostof the enlightened men, a recourse to arms will be the probable result. A general council of all the chiefs and mis- sionaries is to be held at the great council house, uear this, in a few days,sto discuss the merits of the royal matrimony. The missionaries have packed up their movea- ble effects, and some have embarked their most valuable things, ready to decamp up- on the first commencement of hostilities.

 Our arrival at Tahiti at this crisis, is considered by the missionaries and the queens party as very epportune, and they have requested us to visit and attend, the contemplated Council. The queen paid us visit, some days past, and was saluted with thirteen guns, which greatly pleased her Tahitian majesty and suit, composed of the civil and military chiefs, and nu- merous retinue of the various orders of so- ciety. Our stay here is rather uncertain, ,as Capt. Jones* wishes to see the result of the contemplated Council, ,and to visit some other ports in this and the neighboring islands

 ' *ftswas Capt. ,PercivA who commanded the. Peacock when the purages were commit ed at the Sandwich Islands. We may expect better things of Capt. Jones. Al.
