(Signcd) l.. MAlcnEr.


Kaahumanu earnestly inquired of MIR.
Dudoit if Mr.. Maiyret was a priest, and
he frankly declared that he was. She
said he had concealed that fact Mr. Du-
doit said Mr. Maigret told him he was
afraid he should not be permitted to land
if it was known that he was priest: says
MIR ID. told him he ought not to have
done so.


A long conversation here ensued, sub
stantiaIly as follows:


.Mr Dudoit. The refusal on the part
of government to allow French subject
to land is an iniracton of the treaty, mas
much as citizens of other countries are
allowed to come and 90 freely.


Kaahumanu. do not consider it so.
The laws forbid the landing of Roman
Catholic priests, but do not forbid the
landing of Frenchmen. do not consider
the clause in the treaty to mean that the
government have no power to prevent for
any cause a subject of France from COM
ing to these shores. 1t was not so under
stood when signed.


ID. That question cannot settle.


X. will allow MIR Maigret to land
and stay any reasonable time provided he
gives bonds to so away within the time
specified and not to teach his religion
whilst here. d. Ipresume no such terms
will be complied with. 1t is never cxpec-
ted that man should give bonds in such
case. Mr. M. only wishes to stay a short
time until he finds an opportunity to go
to the Marquesas. X. Why then did he
not stay at the Society Islands that was
on his way. ID. He heard that Messrs
Bachelot and Short were imprisoned here
and came to see if he could not aid them.
X. Then let them procure small vessel
and go away together. ID. They have
no means, they cannot do that. X. |
think he has no intention of leaving the
islands. Mr. Walsh British subject land
ed under the same prelcxt, and has resid-
ed here long time and we cannot get
rid of him. ID. give you my word he
will leave as soon as he finds an opportu-
nifty. X. Vessels never 60 from here to
the Marquesas. viii you give bond:
ID. No, Madam, could not do that;
could not agree to pay my money; give
you my word that he will go away
X. Within how long time? ID. can
not say just as soon as he gets an OPP
portunity. X. Cannot he get bonds in
the village? ID. think not. Nobody
will expose themselves in this way. X.
will you give your word in writing Off
cialy as Capt. Petit Thouers did in the
case of M. Bachelot, that he will go away
in any definite period, or in case no other
opportunity occurs that he shall be re-
ceived on board of French ship of war.
ID. | will guarantee that he will go by the
first opportunity, but no ship of war would
take him unless he is willing to go. X.
Arc you French Consul ID. have
been nominated to that office, and Capt.
Petit Thours said | should have it. lie
was authorized TO appoint consuls. X.
Did he appoint you? He authorized me
to act as consul until papers arrive from
