Love to you all who are now in

A letter from United States consul John Jones to Kauikeaouli concerning the complaint of an

No. 1
Official
United States Consulate
Sandwich Islands
The undersigned, consul of the United States at
the Sandwich Islands, feels it an imperative duty to
represent to your Majesty that on or about the 10th
day of the present month, Mr. William French, a citizen of the United States, residing & doing business
upon the Island of Oahu, chartered of Mr. Jules Dudoit, the English Registered Brig Clementine to perform
a voyage to the coast of California that in consequence
he purchased a large amount of goods suitable for
�that market & commenced loading the brig that on
the twentieth day of the same month, he had embarked
a proportion of said cargo & was proceeding to complete
the lading of said vessel when he was apprised by Mr.
Dudoit that the Clementine had been seized by the officers of government under your direction, & that himself
& crew had abandoned the brig. Whether this illegal &
unjustifiable proceeding has been sanctioned by your
Majesty is not for the undersigned to say. It devolves
upon him, however, officially to represent to your Majesty the facts of the case, & solemly to protest against an act so invasive of the right of an Amer[Page 2 of 34]
ican citizen, so adverse to the spirit of the treaty now
existing between your Majesty & the Republic of the
United States, & so at variance with every principle of
equity & justice.
For the insult that have been offered to the Brisish Flag & the total violation of the treaty concluded
between yourself & Lord Edward Russel on the part of
the English government, you will no doubt be called on
for redress by the Representative of that Nation. Any
remark on that outrage would be improper & indelicate
for the undersigned to make. He feels it incumbent on
him only to state to you Majesty, that a large amount
of property belonging to a citizen of the United States
is now on board the Clementine, exposed to every risk,
& that the said citizen has been presented by an unwarrantable act on the part of your Majesty’s government,
from protecting his intended voyage, thereby sustaining a heavy & oppressive loss. In consequence therefore, it has become the solemn & imperious duty of
the undersigned as the Representative of the United
States of America to demand of your Majesty a full
& ample reparation for all the losses & injuries
which may or have resulted to the citizen of the United States which the undersigned has referred to &
�[Page 3 of 34]
also that such means immediately be adopted, as
will enable him to proceed with the voyage he had
designed, without further molestation or hindrances.
The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to offer to his Majesty the assurance of his
respect & consideration. (Signed) John C. Jones
Honolulu, Oahu, May 23 1837.
To His Majesty
King of the Sandwich Islands
P.S. Enclosed is a copy of the protest made by
Mr. French, which will be forwarded immediately
to the government of the United Sates & to the comman
der of the American Naval forces in the Pacific.

present residing & doing business at Oahu, one of the
Sandwich Islands, who declared for himself & all
other interested with him, that whereas Jules Dudoit, master & owner of the English registered Brigantine called the Clementine, had by charter party
let the said Brigantine unto the said appearer &
those interested with him for a voyage with her, to

Oahu, to the coast of California, & back again to the
said port of discharge. And whereas the said appearer having partly loaded the said Brigantine &
was proceeding with all despatch to complete her
�lading, & have her readiness to proceed to sea, he
was on the twentieth day of aforesaid month notified
& informed by Jules Dudoit that the aforesaid Brigantine had been seized by the authorities of the Sandwich Islands & abandoned by himself, officers &
crew, & that consequently no more goods could be received on board, & himself was unable to comply with
the terms of the charter party.
Therefore the said appearer did allow declare
to protest for himself & those interested with him,
as he doth by these presents most solemnly protest
[Page 5 of 34]
as well against the said Jules Dudoit as all others
whom it may or doth concern, for breach of the said
charter party, for not receiving on board the goods of
her lading & proceeding on the stipulated voyage,
& for all costs, loss, damage, & detriment, which he
or those interested wit him have already suffered or
sustained, or shall or may hereafter suffer or sustain,
by reason of the said Brigantine not receiving on
board the goods of her cargo, & not departing & proceeding on her voyage as aforesaid, & for otherwise
howsoever & for what else the said appearer or those
interested, can, may or ought to protest, to recover
all the same in time & place convenient.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand & affixed the seal of this consuL.S. late at Oahu this twenty second day of
May (1837) in the year of our Lord one
thousand Eight hundred & thirty seven.
John C. Jones
I the undersigned do declare that the facts
stated in the foregoing certificate of protest have
been clearly & distinctly read over to me the deponent, & that the same are right & true as the same

are therein particularly alleged, declared, & set
�forth.

Honolulu Oahu, May 24 1837.

Sir,
I have written you an official communication by
this conveyance respecting the unwarranted seizure of
the English Brig Clementine in this harbor. And you
will allow me the liberty of saying to you at this time
a few words in the way of friendship with the best intentions & the greatest desire of the prosperity of your
reign. The act which has been committed by the officers
of your government at his Island by the seizure of
the Brig Clementine, & the forcibly putting on board that
vessel two innocent unoffending men (which I hope
has not been sanctioned by yourself) is an act of the
[Page 7 of 34]
most unjustifiable character & the most piratical nature: it is an act which is contrary to the laws of every
�nation & one which will never be submitted to by any
civilized power on the globe. You no doubt, sir, are but
little aware of the consequences of such violent & outrageous proceedings.
You must be entirely ignorant of the nature of
such an offence, as unjustifiable as it is impolitic, or
you never would have ventured such an unwarrantable
usurpation of power. It has been officially reported here
that the order to force the French missionaries on board of
the Clementine emanated from yourself. I trust, however, that your Majesty has given no such mandate,
but that those who have acted have overstepped the limits
of their power. Be it however as it may, the act has
been perpetrated, & your Majesty will be accountable. Yes,
accountable to that nation whose flag has been insulted,
to that nation whose subject has been persecuted, wronged,
& oppressed, & to that nation government too, the property of whose citizen has been jeopardized, & his lawful
occupation interrupted.
Do not flatter yourself that this outrage will
be quietly passed over, that it will cease to be remem[Page 8 of 34]
bered. No, never. Believe me when I tell you as a
friend that reparation will be exacted of you; justice
may indeed be slow in her movements, but the day will
come when the most ample satisfaction will be required
of you, & it will be demanded by a power which will
not be refused. If there be any in the community of
foreigners residing on your shores who have been your
advisers in the nefarious transaction or would persuade
you to disbelieve what I have here stated to you, believe me they are our enemies & would lead you into
difficulty & trouble. When the hour of retribution shall
come, you will not find them near to lend you a saving
hand, or to assist you in the moment of difficulty. If
you will receive my advice (& I assure you it is most
disinterested) you will immediately take such steps
as will ameliorate the aggravations of the act which
�has been committed, that you will offer the most ample compensation to the parties which have been aggrieved & as an act of humanity permit the two gentlemen of the Catholic religion to reside on your land till
they can obtain an opportunity (which is all they have
ever asked) to proceed to the island of Gambier or the
Port of Valparaiso.
With best wishes for your welfare & pros[Page 9 of 34]
perity, I am, Sir
Your obedient servant
John C. Jones
To his Majesty Kauikeaouli
King of the Sandwich Islands.
Notes:
1. French Missionaries - This is a reference to Father Patrick Short and Father Alexis
Bachelot who arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1827 to establish the Catholic religion and were
banished by Kaʻahumanu in 1831.
2. Gambier - Is an island located in Howe Sound near Vancouver, British Columbia.
3. Port of Valparaiso - An important geopolitical port in the 19th century.
4. John C. Jones - Captain John Coffin Jones was the first U.S. Consul appointed to Hawaiʻi
in 1820.
5. his Majesty Kauikeaouli - Kauikeaouli, also known as Kamehameha III, was the second
royal son of Kamehameha Paiʻea. Kauikeaouli ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1825
to 1854. Signing the letter as "King Kauikeaouli" may have intended to impress upon
Kīnaʻu his authority to make his own decisions in the matter.
