To John C. Jones the American Consul,
Sir,
I make my declaration to
you according to fact &amp; truth, for you are acquainted
with the rejection of these men, Messrs “Bachelot &amp; Short,["]
by Kaahumanu who were sent away on board the Brig
Waverley &amp; were left on the coast of California where
the religion of the Pope is like their own. From that
time to this rejection has been perpetual. You
have also seen my orders which have been handed you,
concerning my disapproval of them &amp; their popish
religion, the services of which are not allowed in my
kingdom.
According to that order has Kinau done &amp;
that justly, &amp; has returned the said two men to the
vessel on board which they came according to the
document which has been given you by Kinau, &amp; in

�[Page 10 of 34]
her returning those two men to the vessel of Mr. Jules
Dudoit, the Clementine. She made no seizure of the
vessel of Mr. Jules Dudoit. You have known no previous order of mine that the Clementine was to become
mine. There is nothing like that in my order which
you have seen. There stands the vessel at anchor at the
disposal of those of you to whom it belongs. I have nothing on board that vessel. The men only which the said
vessel brought, but my people are here on my own ground
for the protection of the country. If you wish damages
to be paid for the want of protection to the property of
an American citizen on board that vessel that has been
improperly deserted, it is proper for you to demand of
Dudoit such damages as you please, or if not, then
let Charlton be answerable, for those two have detained that vessel, &amp; not us; for be it known to you that
Mr. Jules Dudoit has broken the contract which he &amp;
the man who chartered the vessel made between them.
But I moreover consider that your hasty condemnation of me, you have duly considered, &amp; your
supporting those men of the Pope’s religion. Is not
this your opposition to me?
It is opposition, for what we have done, we have
done understandingly &amp; what you have done, you have
[Page 11 of 34]
done ignorantly for it is with me to welcome strangers,
&amp; it is with me to reject them; but ye have usurped this
prerogative of mine. Still I think you know the laws
of enlightened countries, &amp; your intention which I know is
to complain of us to the men of war of your countries that
they may come &amp; condemn us, according to your great desire.
Should that prove the fault to be on your side, what
then will you do? for we know that the statements of some
of you on oath, are utterly false, in saying “that we have
seized the vessel”. Kekuanaoa early gave orders to
Capt. Handly to take back those men to the vessel be-

�fore her cargo was discharged. In the same manner
did he give orders to Dudoit. And the American citizen
understood that Kinau had often said, those rejected
men were to return on board the Clementine &amp; that Mr.
Dudoit was to take them on board the vessel that brought
them. Wherefore then did this man hire a vessel that
was a transgression &amp; load her with the goods, for the banished men were brought here by that vessel, &amp; if on that
account the American citizen sinks his property, the
responsibility is his own, not ours. Long ago, Kinau,
that those men of France, Bachelot &amp; Short, who had
been banished, might not be brought back here, gave
official warning to you as American Consul.
[Page 12 of 34]

United States Consulate
Sandwich Islands.

Sir,
Your Majesty’s letter of the 14th inst. has been
received at this consulate, &amp; I am under the disagreeable necessity, in replying to it, distinctly to state to
your Majesty, that I consider the same as an insult
offered to me personally &amp; to the nation I have the honor to represent. Viewing it as such, I have entered my
solemn protest against it, &amp; shall take the earliest
opportunity of making known its contents to the government of my country. Silent indignation were perhaps better adapted for a communication like that
of your Majesty, but my feelings on this subject have
prompted me to make a few remarks in reply, in order
to show your Majesty that your “declaration”, has not
been made as you have stated “according to fact &amp;

�truth.”
Soon after the abandonment of the Clementine by
Mr. Dudoit, in consequence of Messrs “Bachelot &amp;
Short having been forcibly entered on board of that
vessel contrary to their wish &amp; consent, I addressed
[Page 13 of 34]
Your Majesty officially upon the subject of the detention of said vessel, stating the injury &amp; loss that would
in consequence be sustained by a citizen of the United
States residing on your shores, &amp; at the same time
demanding of your Majesty ample remuneration for
the amount of such damages as might be consequently sustained. In doing this I was performing a duty
imposed on my by the laws of my country, to which
I am amendable, &amp; by which, I have not the slightest
hesitation in assuring your Majesty, I shall be
fully sustained &amp; firmly supported.
The communication I addressed to your Majesty was I believe; couched in terms of proper etiquette
&amp; respect, &amp; as the representative of an enlightened
nation, I had reason to expect a similar return from
your Majesty. I have been disappointed, however, in
this expectation, &amp; have only to regret that I have
been so much mistaken in my conception of your
Majesty’s sense of decency &amp; politeness. I confess that
as your Majesty stated, “I was acquainted with the rejection of Messrs. “Bachelot &amp; Short by Kaahumanu.”
I was acquainted too with their having been forcibly driven from your shores like common malefactors, that
they “were left on the coast of California.” Yes, inhumanly
[Page 14 of 34]
&amp; illegally left on a barren shore, far removed from the
habitation of man &amp; exposed to all the fury of the wild
beasts of the Morals which were howling around them.
From that time to this the rejection of the two Catholics,
as you state, has been “perpetual.” This might indeed

�have been the intention of your Majesty, but it has
never been published to the world, nor has it ever been
communicated to me by yourself or any of your chiefs.
Your assertion that Kinau officially informed me of
their perpetual banishment is not correct. I was requested some years since by several of your chiefs,
in whose number was Kinau not to give these gentlemen a passage back to these island, in the vessel. I
then commanded, when she might return from California. Nothing more than a simple request was
made. Had there however been an order given or declaration promulgated at that time, I should have considered it of no import without the signature of your
Majesty. Your statement that your orders concerning the “disapproval” of the popish religion has been
handed to me, is also correct; but it is not correct
as you have asserted, that the services of such “are
not allowed in your kingdom.” The fact of your
[Page 15 of 34]
having given permission to Mr. Walsh to open a Catholic church in Honolulu for the use of foreigners who
might wish to attend, is in direct contradiction of this
assertion &amp; will not bear you out in the assertion you
have made. Whether Kinau has acted justly or unjustly in returning the two men to the vessel in which they
came (according to your order) is not for me to judge.
The responsibility rests upon yourself, &amp; the question must
be decided by a power from which there will be no appeal.
That you have seized &amp; violently taken possession of the
Clementine by the law of Nations, there cannot be a doubt.
It requires no written order of yours to be produced to
this effect, to prove that she is now at your risk &amp; that
you will be accountable for all the damages that may
in consequence ensue.”
The simple fact of you having placed two men
on board of that vessel against their inclination &amp; consent, as well as that of captains &amp; owners, is all that
is wanted to substantiate the fact of the illegal seizure

�of that vessel. Your affection that Mr. Charlton &amp; Mr.
Dudoit are the persons who have detained the vessel &amp;
not yourself, &amp; that to them I must apply for damages sustained by the American citizen, is almost too
[Page 16 of 34]
frivolous to be taken notice of. No, Sir, do not flatter
yourself that those gentlemen are responsible for the
injury yourself have inflicted on a citizen of the United States. The government of that nation will look to
you &amp; you only for justice, &amp; will not be satisfied, I assure you, without the most ample remuneration. Your
Majesty has stated in your communication, that “Mr
Dudoit has broken this contract which he &amp; the man
who chartered the vessel made between them.” In
reference to this, I have only to say that your Majesty
may be better able to judge of this fact after you have
seen that contract &amp; known the nature of its obligations. Any opinion given before is premature &amp; absurd.
Your inclinations that I have acted in opposition to
your Majesty by a hasty condemnation of yourself &amp;
by supporting these men of the Pope’s religion, cannot
be substantiated. I have performed, Sir, only my duty,
(a duty that was imperative,) in officially stating to
your Majesty in the most friendly terms, the nature
&amp; tendency of the act of aggression which had been
perpetrated by the forcibly placing of prisoners on
board of the Clementine, &amp; the injury that would result therefrom, to a citizen of the United States, for
which injury I asked of you satisfaction. As to the
[Page 17 of 34]
support which I may have given to these men of the
Pope's religion, “I am at a loss to conjecture in what
it may consist. I am no catholic myself, neither am
I an advocate of their creed: but when I see my fellow
man persecuted &amp; oppressed, be he christian or infidel,
Protestant or Catholic, &amp; raise not my voice to ask

�for him mercy, or stretch not my arm to give him
succor, I conceive that the friends of humanity are
entitled to brand me with the well merited epithet
of miserable wretch. If my opposition to your Majesty consists in this such acts as these, then Sir, let
me assure you that I glory in such opposition.
I feel extremely obliged to your Majesty for the
levity you have extended to me by being willing to
attribute to my ignorance all my misguided acts in
this important affair, though at the same time, I
shall be unwilling myself to concede that your Majesty’s proceedings have in any instance relating to
that case, been conducted either understandingly or
justly. As it respects your Majesty’s declaration,
“that it is with you” to welcome strangers, &amp; it is
with you to reject them”, as it may suit your pleasure, I have only to reply that in regard to the citizens of the nation I have the honor to represent, that
[Page 18 of 34]
I treat it with its merited contempt. It is a privilege,
Sir, that will never be granted you by the United States,
for her citizens must be allowed to come &amp; go when
&amp; where they please, without interference or molestation from kings &amp; potentates.
This is a right, Sir, she claims for herself &amp;
a right she will ever defend whilst her star spangled banner waves over her Independent Republic.
I have no desire, Sir, whatever, as you have expressed it, to condemn you or your chiefs: all I ask
for is justice, &amp; to obtain that I shall most certainly appeal to my country; &amp; “should it prove that
the fault be mine,” I am prepared, Sir, to meet its
consequences, &amp; to abide by the decision of justice.
What orders Kekuanaoa may have given to Capt.
Handley, or Mr. Dudoit is no business of mine. If
any person has committed an offence by returning
the men of the Pope’s religion to these shores, it was
Capt. Handly, or the owner of the vessel at the time

�she arrived &amp; landed them. To them only can you
look for redress &amp; not to the vessel, which of course
could do no wrong, or to Mr. Dudoit, who was as
innocent of the transaction as yourself or any of
your chiefs. In respect to the statements, as you
[Page 19 of 34]
assert that some have made an oath, that we have
“seized the vessel”, I have no hesitation in saying
that no those gentlemen who have made this declarations
are ready &amp; willing to prove before any court of
justice that at least they have not perjured themselves. In reference to the last assertions made in
your communication “that the American citizen
understood that Kinau had said that these rejected men were to return on board of the Clementine,
wherefore then did this man hire a vessel that
was a transgressor &amp; load her with his goods, “I
have simply to reply that the American citizen hired
the vessel of Mr. Dudoit, sometime previous to the
return of Kinau from Mowee, &amp; that he had never
learnt before that a vessel could be a transgressor.
Neither was he willing to believe that your Majesty would have sanctioned so unjustifiable a proceeding as the forcing of prisoners on board of the
Clementine when Kinau as well as Kekuanaoa had
always distinctly stated to Mr. Dudoit that the
French missionaries should not be forced on board
of his vessel, but if they went, it should be voluntary, of which fact there is the most ample evi[Page 20 of 34]
dence. Before closing this communication which
is much lengthier than I anticipated, I beg leave
to remind your Majesty of the conversation you then
confidently confessed to me that you were sensible
you had done wrong, that you had not intention or
wish to proceed to such extremities, &amp; that if you had

�been present, “the French” gentleman would not have
been forced on board the Clementine. You even stated
that you believed that it would be considered an
act of piracy, or as you termed it, “the same as stealing a vessel.” You stated that you were willing to
allow the “Frenchmen” to come again on shore &amp;
remain a reasonable time, till they could have an
opportunity of proceeding to their destination.
You also requested of me to ascertain of Mr. Dudoit &amp; the American citizen, what damages they
would be satisfied with, &amp; that you were anxious &amp; willing to adjust all difficulties amicably &amp; satisfactorily. I have no further remarks
to make, but leave it to your Majesty to say how far
this confessions &amp; promise coincides with your communication of the 14th ult. I have only to repeat my demand
for full &amp; ample reparations for all the injuries &amp; los[Page 21 of 34]
ses which may be sustained by the citizen of the United States in consequence of your forcing the two prisoners on board of the brig Clementine, &amp;
With all due regards &amp; respect
Subscribe myself, Sir
Your obd. Servt

Translation
Kauwila House, June 17 1837
Mr. J.C. Jones
Sir,
I have received your letter of the 16th. I
have heard your letter which has been read to me. I
consider your declaration to me incorrect, in which you
say, “I have given permission to W. Walsh to open a
Catholic church for the use of foreigners who may
wish to attend” such a service. It is not so. I consider
your declaration to me incorrect in which you say that
I stated to you that I was willing to allow those Frenchmen to come again on shore, which I did not &amp; also
your declaration to me, that I stated that this is the
[Page 22 of 34]
same as stealing a vessel. I by no means allowed to
you that it was Piracy. Your statements to me are
not correct. All the statements of your letter which

�has been read to me became of no account, for out of
your own mouth it is made of no account by the declaration of your letter to me thus, “that sometime previous to the return of Kinau from Maui, Mr. French
hired the vessel of Mr. Jules Dudoit, but your former
declaration to me on the twenty third of the month of
May is different. This is the statement that will convince you. “On or about the tenth day of the present
month, Mr. William French, a citizen of the United
States residing &amp; doing business on the island of Oahu,
chartered of W. Jules Dudoit, the English Brig Clementine.["]
There then your statements are incorrect, for Kinau arrived here at Oahu from Maui on the thirtieth
of April, &amp; on the first day of May Kinau had an
interview with Mr. Bachelot &amp; Mr. Jules Dudoit &amp;
Mr. Richard Charlton. Now unless you immediately
recede from all these your incorrect statements, my
correspondence with you on this business can proceed no further; it is ended. I am about to sail.
But our injunction from the time it was given
[Page 23 of 34]
by Kekuanaoa to Capt Handley &amp; to Mr. Dudoit the
owner of the Clementine, which was the 18th day of April, that the vessel should depart, together with Messrs.”
Bachelot &amp; Short, still stands firm. Those two men
are not my prisoners of state, but their departure from
my dominions is what I have ordered them. This you
will make known to William French, the American
citizen, that he may know that Mr. Dudoit &amp; his vessel, &amp; those who have gone on board the vessel, viz
Messrs “Bachelot &amp; Short are at perfect liberty to sail
from my dominions. There is non of us to hinder his
proceeding with the Clementine on his voyage.
Yours, &amp;c
Kamehameha III

1842_Sep01_Mallet-Kauikeaouli
Date of Letter:
September 1, 1842
From:
Mallet [Captain S. Mallet]
To:
Kauikeaouli [Kamehameha III]
Content Summary:
Captain Mallet of the French ship Embuscade writes to Kauikeaouli regarding the treatment of
Roman Catholics and French citizens in the Hawaiian Kingdom, reminding him of specific
articles of the treaties with France signed on the 12th and 17th of July.

Typescript:

Sloop of war Embuscade

Harbor of Honolulu
Sep 1 1842

Sir;
I have the honor to inform your majesty
that since the treaties of July 12th &amp; 17th 1839 French citizens &amp; ministers of the catholic religion have been insulted &amp; subjected to divers unjust measures, concerning
which your Majesty has not probably been informed.
Subordinate agents, ignorant or ill dishonest &amp; without any special order from government have thrown
down churches, threatened the priests &amp; compelled
their disciples to attend protestant places of worship &amp; protestant schools. To effect this they have
employed a course of treatment repulsive to humanity, notwithstanding the treaty of July 12th signed
by your Majesty &amp; the commandments of the French
Frigate Artemise, grants free exercise to the
Catholic religion &amp; an equal protection to its
ministers.
Persuaded that your Majesty has no intention
that treaties entered into with good sincerity and

�good faith should be annulled &amp; also that it is
incumbent on you to treat all religions with
[Page 2 of 4]
favor; therefore I shall demand that you will adopt
such measures as shall defend the adherents of the
Catholic faith from all future vexations.
I demand this of your Majesty,
1. That a catholic high school with the same
privileges as the high school at Lahainaluna
be immediately acknowledged &amp; that a lot
of land be granted to it by government according to promise.
2nd. That the catholic schools be under the exclusive supervision of catholic Kahu Kula’s (inspectors) nominated by Kahunas (priests) of the
same faith &amp; approved by your Majesty; &amp; that
the Kahu Kula’s enjoy without infraction all the privileges granted by the law.
3rd. That the Kahunas have power to fill tempo-rarily all vacancies that may occur in consequen
ce of the death, absence, or loss of office of any of the
Kahu Kula’s.
4th. That for the future, permission to marry
be given by catholics nominated by the Kahunas
&amp; approved always by the government of your
majesty; &amp; that in case of absence, death or loss
[Page 3 of 4]
of office, the Kahunas have power provisionally to
grant permission themselves.
5th. That hereafter Catholics be not forced to labour
upon schools or churches of a different faith &amp; that
the relations of children who may embrace the Catholic religion be not ill treated on this account.
6th. That severe punishment be inflicted upon
every individual whatever may be his rank or
condition who shall destroy a catholic church
or school or insult the ministers of this religion.
Furthermore I demand of your Majesty that

�you will confirm to the French mission the land
which was given it by Boki when regent of the Kingdom, which land has always been considered as
belonging to said mission; and also that you legalize the purchase of land made by his Lordship
the Bishop of Nicopolis, by a sanction which will
confirm it to his Lordship &amp; to his heirs forever
I will not conclude what relates to
the catholic clergy without praying your Majesty to give me proof that the Abbe Maigret has
signed a writing, by which he acknowledges
himself a British subject. Should this prove
[Page 4 of 4]
a mere calumny invented for the purpose of ruining a French priest in the
estimation of the inhabitants of these isles &amp; in that of your
Majesty, I demand that the author of this calumny
John Ii, the Inspector general retract in writing, declaring either that he lied about it, or that he was
deceived. As a Frenchman, I deem it important to
be fully satisfied on this point.
There is still another subject, concerning which
I must demand some explanation of your Majesty.
According to article 6th of the treaty of July 17th French wines &amp; spirits
were to be admited into the islands of your government on paying
a duty of 5 percent. Was it not for the purpose of eluding this article not to say of violating it) that the sale of brandy has been
limited to a certain number of gallons?
I cannot prevent your Majesty from enacting such laws
as the prosperity &amp; well being of your subjects seem to you
to demand, but I consider it my duty to inquire how you
can reconcile the 6th article of the treaty of July 17th with the
last law concerning the sale of spirits in the islands of
your Kingdom. It would give me great pleasure to be
informed on this subject in order to make my report
to the Admiral, Commander in chief of the French forces
in the ocean, that he may decide upon such a course
as he shall judge expedient for the maintenance
of the treaties &amp; of our national dignity.
I have the honor to be with the most profound
respect, sir

�Your majesty’s
Very humble servant
(signed)
S. Mallet
Capt of the Sloop of war Embuscade
Notes:
1. Sloop of war Embuscade - A French Frigate ship that was in port in Honolulu at the time
of this letter.
2. French Frigate Artemise - A French Frigate ship, commanded by Captain La Place
arrived in Honolulu and demanded, by threat of war, fair treatment for French subjects.
This led to Kamehameha III issuing an Edict of Tolerance that allowed for religious
freedom.
3. Abbe Maigret - Father Louis Desire Maigret came to Hawaiʻi to establish the Catholic
religion in 1831.
4. S. Mallet - Captain of a French sloop-of-war, Embuscade, arrived in Honolulu on August
24, 1842. He was here under orders by Admiral Du Petit-Thouars as a result of
complaints that the treaty signed between Captain Laplace and Kamehameha II was being
violated and Catholics were still being treated unfairly by native authorities.

From:
Kauikeaouli [Kamehameha III]
To:
Captain Mallet [Captain S. Mallet]

Kauikeaouli’s response to Mallet’s letter (written Sept. 1st) refuting Captain Mallet's allegations

Typescript:
[Page 1 of 4]

Honolulu, Oahu Sep 4. 1842
To S. Mallet, captain of the French
ship of war Embuscade, Greeting
We have received your letter dated
the 1st inst. and with our council assembled
have deliberated thereon &amp; we are happy to receive
your testimony that if there are instances of
difficulty or abuse in these islands, they are
not authorized by this government and we
assure you that we hold in high estimation
the government of France and all its estimable subjects. It is the firm determination
of our government to observe the treaties with
all nations, but the written laws are a new
code thing, the people are ignorant and good
order can only be preserved on the part of
the government by affording the protection
of the laws to all who will appeal to them
at the proper tribunals
On the introduction of the Roman
Catholic religion it was understood

�that tolleration was to be fully allowed
to its priests &amp; all its disciples &amp; this has been done
as far as lay in our power &amp; no one can
[Page 2 of 4]
prove to the contrary. But it is impossible to put
a stop to disputes &amp; contentions between rival religions &amp; the evils &amp; complaints which result from them.
The laws favor literature &amp; as soon as the French
priests are ready to found a high school for the purpose
of imparting it to their pupils and teachers are
ready, it shall find a location.
The school laws were formed to promote education
in these islands and not sectarianism; and
no one should ask the government that they
be altered to favor any particular sect. Any
man qualified for teaching, being of a good moral
character, is entitled to a teachers diploma,
this by reason of his acquiremens not his
sect. No priest of either sect can give diploma's. Likewise marriage is regulated by law and
no priest of either sects can perform the ceremoney, except the parties obtain a certificate from the governor or his officers; and why
should the laws be altered? Difficulties often arise
on the subject and we should regulate our
own people.
The laws require the people to labour on certain
days; some for the government and some for the
[Page 3 of 4]
landlords, to whom the labour is due according to law,
and the kind of labour is regulated by those to
whom the labour is due.
The laws are not fully established in all parts of
the islands and probably an ancient custom has
been practiced by which the owner of land would
pull down the house of one who built thereon without
his cheerful consent; but if the owner of the house
complains to the judges they should grant a trial,

�&amp; if no satisfaction is obtained, then the governor
will grant a trial; and if no satisfaction is
obtained that decision is unjust, an appeal
must be made to the supreme judges who will
sit twice a year.
The ground occupied by the French priests
in Honolulu is held by the same tenor^ure as that
of the priests of Protestant religions and
some other foreigners &amp; negotiations have been commenced which it is to be hoped will give equal justice
to all.
When John Ii arrived from Kauai that case will be
adjusted and if he denies the charge which you have represented a trial will be granted.
Please do us the favor to assure the Admiral that
[Page 4 of 4]
the present laws do not contravene the 6th article of the
treaty of the 17th of July. Brandy &amp; wines are freely admited here and if any one wishes a license to retail spirits,
he may procure one by applying to the proper officers.
Those who retail spirits without license are liable
to punishment. Please inform him also that
we have sent ministers to the King of France
to beg of him a new treaty between us and
France.
Accept for yourself the assurance
of our respect &amp; our salutations,
Signed
Kamehameha III
Kekauluohi

[Page 1 of 2]
Kamehameha III
Of the Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai,
Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and Nihau, King sends greeting
to all chiefs of the Islands in their great ocean to the
westward called the “Caroline Islands,” “Kingsmill Group”
&amp;c. Peace &amp; hapiness to you all now &amp; forever.
Here is my friendly message to you. There are
about to sail for your islands, some teachers of the
Most High God, Jehovah, to make known unto you his
word, for your eternal salvation. A part of them are
white men from the United States of America, and a
part of them belong to my islands. Their names are
as follows: B.G. Snow &amp; Wife, A.A. Sturges &amp; wife,
L.H. Gulick &amp; wife, E.W. Clark, J.T.Gulick, Opunui
&amp; wife, Kaaikaula &amp; wife, and Kekela. H. Holdsworth
is Captain of the vessel.
I therefore take the liberty to commend these good
teachers to your care &amp; friendship; to exhort you to listen
to their instructions, &amp; to seek their acquaintance. I have
seen the value of such teachers. We here on my
islands once lived in ignorance &amp; idolatry. We were
given to war &amp; we were very poor. Now my people
are enlightened; we live in peace &amp; some have

�acquired property. Our condition is very greatly improved on what it once was; and the word of God
had been the great cause of our improvement.
[Page 2 of 2]
Many of my people regard the word of God, Jehovah,
&amp; pray to him, &amp; he has blessed them. I advise
you to throw away your idols, take the Lord Jehovah
for your God, worship &amp; love him, &amp; he will bless
&amp; love you.
May He “make these new teachers a great blessing to you, &amp; your people &amp; whithold from
you no good thing.
