aaaton of the Catholic system among its
subjects, and that they received no pledge
of any description from that government,
that they should be permitted to do SO.
They began the work, however, which
they went to do, and prosecuted 1t with
the characteristic activity and address of
Jesuit missionaries. In the year 1929,
the government proclaimed an order pro-
hibiting the natives from attending rcli-
gious services at the priests chapel. But
the order produced no effect, or an incon-
siderable and temporary effect; and. to-
wards the close of that year, Kaahumann,
then constituting, as is conceded by all
parties, the government de ,jure and de fac
to, apprized M. Bachelot, that he must
exclude natives from his chapel, although
she permitted him to keep it open to res
ident foreigners. So far as we can learn,
this intimation was disregardcd: the OBJ
iects of the mission were steadily prose-
cuted and, towards the close of 1881.
the King seemed to have found, or felt,
himself obliged to send the priests out of
the Islands. They were accordingly,
with their effects. removed to California.
We do not learn that any notice was ta-
ken of this proceeding by the govern
ment of France.


In 1896, Mr. Walsh, a Catholic priest
and an Irishman, having come to Homo
lulu, was at first commanded to leave the
Island, but at length was suffered to re-
main, upon his engagement to abstain
from interfering with the religious instruc-
ton of the natives. About the middle of
June, 1887, Messrs. Bachelot and Short
returned to Honolulu in an English brig,
for the purpose of recommending their
original enterprise of proseIytism, and
went ashore. They were Immediately
compelled to 60 on board the vessel again,
which was ordered to leave the Island !;
and they remained on board of her until
July, when, by the interpos,ion of an En-
glish and French ship of war, an ar
rangement was negotiated, to which the
English and the French captains and the
government of the Islands were parties,
by which they were to be suffered to land
and stay until they could sail for some
civilized part of the world. They were to
embrace the first opportunity of doing
this, and in the mean time were not to
preach. We subjoin the stipulation Of
the French captain.
