Mn EDIToR-The history closes by a
brief notice of what was done by the frig-
ate Artemise for the cause of religion and
toleraton at the Sandwich Islands. We
here rel eat most distinctly that mandate
of His Majesty forbidding the innction of
all pains and penalties for religious obser-
yances or as they esteemed them often
ces, was issued twenty-five days previous
to the arrival Of the Artemse.* 1t is now
two years since the proceedings of Capt
Laplace were published. We expected
that account would meet the disapproba-
ton of a portion of this community, and
the pamphlet published soon after in re-
ply showed that we were not mistaken !;
bu, we are gratfied that so large portion
of the public press of Great Britain and
the United States concur with US in our
expressed opinion as to the illegal and un-
justifable conduct of Capt. l.. Two also
of the first jurists in the United States,
viz. the Hon. Chancellor Walworth of n.
York, and the Hon. Rufus Choa,e, U. S.
Senator from Mass. have publicly express
ed the same opinion.


The following paraoraph also from the
report of French National Protestant
Society of which Admiral Count VerIIuel
is President is to the same purpose: eve
all feel that our government has brutally
violated the law of nations in this case,
(Capt. l.. at the Sandwich Islands.) The
Popish missionaries who claimed he priv
ilese of preaching their doctrines in the
South Sea Islands and called to their aid
cannons and bayonets have done a bad
service to their cause. They will sooner
or later repent having employed such
