A.qi1_iI'l‘Bl has already arisen among the
usurping Cllql]-", about the division of the
spoils. Skinner is enraged because he is
-not admitted to a share of the' government-
Business is i-nterirtiptedz thedoors of the res-
idents are shut against Sir George; and his
men, and his attempt at conciliiiiion has been
replils-ed with inilignatioii. A (.lt3!ilZll'ICl was
made upon the French Ailiniml for his cre-
dentials. He replied that he would Submll
a I '
them_ when informed by what autuotllv ll“-’
demand was niade. Mr. Hooper, the Amer-
ican Consul, sent his in and was l‘€C0gnlZBd/.,
'I‘he Journal ofCommerce makes the_follow-
ting statement conceinriig the recognition of
the Islands as an ind -pendent nation:
‘France has agreed to nullify thetreaty forced on
king Kamchaniclia byCapt. Laplace,so far at~ least as
pcrmits.the introduction of Freiich brandy_ii1to the
island, and has promised to take into c_oiisiderati0n
the other grievances of that most iiiiquitons treaty,
particularly the forcing of Catholic priests upon the
islanders. A commercialcompany in Belgijlm has
entered into some iinportant arrangcincnts for trade
with the- Blonds. in which King Lcopuld_ takes a
deep interest. Their independence aiid_ii1tcgrity
are now theref'ore gii.'iranteed by four nations, and
in a manner all the uiore certainly perina_nent for
tlie acts ofiiijiistice wlnch have been _committed by
France and England. These recognitions_ took place
in Europe in March, a month after the islands had
been captured by Lord George Paulet.’
From all these statements it seems scarce-
ly possible that the British Governtnenl
should sanction these proceedings. A310 ll"-’
authority of Sir G.-orge Paulet, it seems
most likely l.l1’ll he acted under the orders of
Mr. Simpson: as in all such cases British
naval commanders are required to act accor-
ding to the direction of British Consuls. .l.l'l(-‘
whole responsibilitytherefore, probably rests
with Simpson; and from his character, as it
is represented. it does not seem likely that
he would hesitate at the perpetration of any
o-iitiaige for tire accomplishment of his de-
signs. It cannot be expected that ou_r gov-
ernment should acquiesce in this forcible oc-
cupation of this important position Wy-
ha‘/e several millions of dollars at stake ei-
ther on the lsl.ind or in vessels th .t touch
there, and from 500 to 1000 of our citiz--as
reside upon them. All the powers that
have acknowledged the indcpentlcnce of the
Islands will feel bound to reiiionstrate against-
this seizure.
The New Orleans Bulletin adds the fol-
lowing concerning the circumstances undei
which the King was forced to code the Is-
lands to the British Government:
On the night previous to the cession ofthe Sand-
wich Islaiids, while the city of’ Honoliilti lay exposed
‘to the guns ofthe British Frigate, and the aiithori-
ties of the islanil were deliberating what to do in the
extiseinity to which they were driven, the King re-
quested the attendance of’ the American and French
residents, and offered at daybreakto hoist the Amer-
ican and French flags. declare his doininioiis under
the joint protection of those powers, and risk the
ire of Lord Paulet and his Goveriiineiit, if the resi-
dents would assure hiui of‘ the .siippoi't of their re-
spective cotintries, ortlieAineiicaii flzig alone, iftlie
American citizens thought that our Government
would come to his assistance. The French Consul
and residents were disposed to give him the assur-
ance on the partof their Govcrnmciit. but the A-
mericaiis liesitated, and finally declared that they
were af'riii_d to pledge the United States, as it had
never been the policy of our Goveriimeiit to ac-
quire colonial possessions. Capt. Long also of the
Boston. piirsned a cautious policy, and declined to
do any thing for the defence of’ the town in the
event ofits attack by Lord Paulet.’
No intercourse from that time took place
between the British officers and the residents.
The King was not allowed to make any
remonstrance. and the British opposed for (I
a time the publication of the official corres-
pondence, as they wished the impression to
go abroad that the c--ssion was entirely vol-
untary; and Mr. Simpson went so for as to
tell Mr. Barron explicitly that the King had
petitioned Sir George to take possession of
the islands. The new Governinent imme-
diately issued a proclamation, requiring.
.-among other things, all foreigners to produce
evidence ofthcir titlr-s to real estate within
a certain period-—a demand aimed vspccizilly
at the American residents, who held their
lands under an old title which the King
-was about to confirm when he‘ was prevent-
-ed by the seizure. The King was at the
5-ime time compelled to deed to Mr.
Charlton the most valuable portion of the
town of Honolula—which he had claimed
under an old deed believed to be forged.-—
Two vessels of war belonging to the King
were seizxl by the British, and the mansion
and grounds of Haalilio, the S indwich
Island Commissioner, were occupied by Sir
Geo. P-iulet.
Locoroco ORATORS.-—A Loco Foco Oraior
‘out west,’ according to the Cincinnati Gazette,
gives the following reply so a question asked by
a friend, how he C0|.tltlS[)".‘i.}li so long and so of-
ten io any purpose?
‘VVhy, when I am at a loss for ideas, or
arguments or don’t know what to say to the
people I get upon my liberty key. I strike
that always with effect; Rome, Greece. Po-
land, our Revolutionaries. my boy help out
amazingly. If that fails. I set up a regular
built hoivl against the English——-all hate
them you k-now——and I walk into the wliigs
as British bought and bank bought. Ifthis
don’t answer, I gets at their prejudices;
the rich against the poor, tliai’s my theme;
and the way I talk about p lli1C(’Si'.1Ild n ibobs
and all that sort of thing, is a caution; but
I can tell you I am Sure to see the greasy
countenance of the people lighten upon some
ofthese points, and th--n my boy, 1 [wow
where I am.’
Sycamore Trees.—-Many ofthe Sycamore
trees in this vacinity indicate disease or the
ofiects of frost, as they have for two preceed-
ing seasons. Some of them have considera-
ble foilagc, but the most have leaves only
upon the extremities ofthe limbs, exhibition
altogether a sickly apprarance. Tle Ci:
talpa trees are also, like the Linden, exhibit.
iug very few signs of vitality, and that of a
scattered and stunted kind. I They always
throw out their leaves late, but this is the
season for the foilage to be Well displayed.

I/I’cdn.cszIay Ilforning June 7.—R=-solution

illl'lt*‘Dtlt‘(l, p1lSSt‘(l.
Resolution repoited by the inajority ofthe
c0mmittt't' on-the mi-iii‘: resuiiied.‘
Mr. Allyn (from H.ii'tford) moved to
amend the iimjoi-ity l'Pp(ifl. and resolutions
by subsiitiitiiig those ofthe minority.
Mr. Palmer hoped the amendment would
not prevail, as the most of the pl't:‘i1lI)l)le of
the minority was /too/red from the preamble
of the resolutions adopted by the last legis-
lature. He wanted something new.
Mr. Gilj)lH said he was sorry to hear the
gentleman from East Haddain avow that he
coiild not follow in the Silllt.‘ course of legis-
lation two years in succession.
Mr. Butler said the reason why the pro
amble was borrowcd, was that it embodied
the sentiments efilt-‘l'l£llflt‘(l by the IIllliOl‘lly
of the cominittce: and the House by adopt-
ing the ariiendmr-iit would have an opportu-
nity of reaffiruiing the doctrines which they
sanctioned at the last scssion. He was not
aware flint the opinion of the majority on
the subject had undergone any change: as
their opinions at that session correspond
with the minority at this session, of course
no one ofthe majority would be found fight-
ing his own doctrines.
Mr. Allyn of Hartford, said the resolutions
of the mzijority were very general in their
nature: and he could notil-.-teriiihie whether
they were intended to benefit the inlercsts of
N. England, or to sustain the free trade doc-
trines of the South. As the minority report
and resolutions sustained the views of the
legislature of I842, with a iiiuch larger
democratic majority than at present. he did
not see how the present majority could vote
down their own doctrines and moved that
when the question is taken it be taken by
yczis and nays. .
Mr. Seymour considered the resolutions
on th-se sulij-cts, beyond the re.ich of our
legislation, were very cheap ll')al.l.t.'l'S. He
though: both series of resolutions were very
good. They both scented in favor of a ju-
dicious tarifi, and he hoped no member was
in favor of an i.7iju.(liciou.s' one. Previous
question callvd and sustaioid on the amend.
merit: yeas 74, n.iys 94: so the-amendment
was lost.
The resolutions of the majority adopted
by :1 vote of 91 to 71, and report. ucccptccl.
Resolution con-fen-suing the i't-pudiaticii of
State dcbts and the assumption of the same
by the gzcnvral goveiniiit-iit, taken up.
Mr. Galpiii Slid that when tbrse resulti-
tions were floating about among us, last
evening. he at first thought them a hoax.—
But he began now to think them a genuine
reality. He was appointed early in the ses-
sion oii a committee to cnqui.e into, and re-
port upon this subject, and the first notice he
had i'ecciv=tl since on the subject, was the
pr:-st-uce 0 this reportamong us. He could
only say if this report be the child of that
couiiriittee, he. was happy that it came into
being when he was not there. He ventured
to say, this was the strangest document ever
brought to the notice ofa legislature. The
report is full of"sound and fury, signifying
nothing.” The report should be referred to
the committee on education, and the resulti-
tions to the coinmittee on insane poor.
Mr. Butler said he believed the report was
legitiinatcly born. He was present at the
time, but than thought it was a monster.-
Soine part ofthe report is utterly unintelli-
gible; and other parts are strange and unac-
countable.
i\-lr. Curtis said he observed there is an
allusion in the report to four classes ofnieri
who are in favor of assuinption.-—of which
the 3d class mentioned are "bulls and bears."
As this is it new class of men, he wished to
enquire somewhat as to their lmbits; and
wlictlier they are more claugerous than the
other classes mentioned. _
Mr. Butler said tlie.-re is miicli rich mate-
rial in this report, for such as are ctirious in
these matters. Somethings in it to be sure,
are worth preserving, but as a specimen of
our intelligence and our political wisdom,
he could not consent that it should go out of
it}l'DTl‘L‘.t‘iiit.'!il in the
the world with the sanction of this House.-
It has in it neither gr.-irnmar, nor truth, nor
sense. It cliarges State indebtedness to the
U. S. Bank-—a charge as ridiculous as un-
founded. But more than that, the U. S.
Bank was chartered by a Republican Con-
gress, and sustained by a Republican Presi-
dent. And he hoped that this House would
not take any course which should censure
Rcpiiblican measures.
Mr. Pal oer thought the resolutions were
in good spirit and tenor.
Mr. Strong ihoogfit"biills and bears”
strange aniuizil.'~, and ought to be put as far
offas possible. pa-rhips place them in the
mcnagcric. (At this time four elephants
appeared in fr’-nt of the Suite l.-lousc, “set to
music ;") the motion was lost.

Mr. Perkins said he knew very well that

had become a iiiatte~i' of coui‘se.—-but in this
instance. the complimcnt they express is p- -
ciiliarly lllt‘l'Il(’ILl. The thanks of the ftloiise
were really ezirned by the Speaker, and for
hiiiisi.-lf (and he pl‘(‘S'.lllli‘(l he expressed the
:"ccling of every gentleman) he was very
happy to vote for the resolution off:-i'cd.
Mr. Curtis heartily coincided with the

(Spczilccr rr-suined his seat)
Mr. Cowl--s called the attention of the.-
House to resolutions from the Sltllc of .\’l-iine
rcfvrred to ii committee early in the session.
'l‘h-at committee h id presented a report which
was rccoaimitied to them; the Senate then
conciirrcd in the proceedings; but when he
called for them yr.-.~:terday, they were not to
be found in the llfillst‘, or Sf‘l'I{llP, or Secrc
tary’s ofiicc; but he had at length succeciled
in finding them in the pocket of the chair-
man on the part ofthe Senate.
‘.\’lr. Lippi-t said that as a friend to tho
Senatoi, he felt bound to say, that the gen-
tleman would not willingly take any improp-
Pl‘ course with the business referred to the
committee-; that he had been sick, and al-
though anxious that the subject should be
acted upon, he had found great difficulty in
getting the committee together.
l‘\li‘. Allyn of Hartford, made some explan-
ation in relation to his rcfusal to vote yester-
day. On subsequent reflection he thought
his course on that occasion was wrong: and
as it was the result of ice-liiig, he thought
this apology due to the Housc.
Mr. Galpin reported to the Speaker that
during his absence, the House had un.-ini-
mously adopted a ri=s«»lution expressive of
their sense of the ability. fidelity and impar-
tiality with which he had (llSt'lit1i‘gt'(l his du-
ty as a Spi--aker.
The Hon Speaker than rose and saiil——
Genfleiiicii : I l‘l:‘(‘.t‘l\'C this renewed mark
of your favor with gratitude. I came to the
Spe;il<er’s chair with a disposition and dc-
ti-riiiination to execute its duties as far as I
coull, with fidelity and impartiality, and to
be now t/tits ossurt d of approbation is a suf

and its responsibilities. I rvciprocaie to you

made, and ilie kind sentiments you have ex-
pressed, will be long remembered by me
with the greatest pleasure.
I beg leave again to return to you, and
the gcotleiiieri who have been instrumental
in coiniiiuoicatiiig the vote, and to the gru-
tlcmen who have so kindly and efficiently
aided me in the dischzirge of my duty, my
sincere thanks,--and to wish you a safe and
happy return to your homes.
Gentlemen, I do now, in conformity with
