Jones refutes and protests many of Kauikeaouli’s claims. Jones claims his interest is strictly to uphold his duties and consul and represent the citizens of his country. [Page 12 of 34] (5) United States Consulate Sandwich Islands. Sir, Your Majesty’s letter of the 14th inst. has been received at this consulate, & 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 & to the nation I have the honor to represent. Viewing it as such, I have entered my solemn protest against it, & 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 & �truth.” Soon after the abandonment of the Clementine by Mr. Dudoit, in consequence of Messrs “Bachelot & Short having been forcibly entered on board of that vessel contrary to their wish & consent, I addressed [Page 13 of 34] Your Majesty officially upon the subject of the detention of said vessel, stating the injury & loss that would in consequence be sustained by a citizen of the United States residing on your shores, & 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, & by which, I have not the slightest hesitation in assuring your Majesty, I shall be fully sustained & firmly supported. The communication I addressed to your Majesty was I believe; couched in terms of proper etiquette & respect, & 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, & have only to regret that I have been so much mistaken in my conception of your Majesty’s sense of decency & politeness. I confess that as your Majesty stated, “I was acquainted with the rejection of Messrs. “Bachelot & 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] & illegally left on a barren shore, far removed from the habitation of man & 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 & 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, & the question must be decided by a power from which there will be no appeal. That you have seized & 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 & 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 & consent, as well as that of captains & owners, is all that is wanted to substantiate the fact of the illegal seizure �of that vessel. Your affection that Mr. Charlton & Mr. Dudoit are the persons who have detained the vessel & not yourself, & 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 & you only for justice, & 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 & 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 & known the nature of its obligations. Any opinion given before is premature & absurd. Your inclinations that I have acted in opposition to your Majesty by a hasty condemnation of yourself & 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 & tendency of the act of aggression which had been perpetrated by the forcibly placing of prisoners on board of the Clementine, & 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 & oppressed, be he christian or infidel, Protestant or Catholic, & 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, & 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 & go when & where they please, without interference or molestation from kings & potentates. This is a right, Sir, she claims for herself & 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, & to obtain that I shall most certainly appeal to my country; & “should it prove that the fault be mine,” I am prepared, Sir, to meet its consequences, & 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 & landed them. To them only can you look for redress & 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 & 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 & 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, & 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, & 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 & 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 & the American citizen, what damages they would be satisfied with, & that you were anxious & willing to adjust all difficulties amicably & satisfactorily. I have no further remarks to make, but leave it to your Majesty to say how far this confessions & promise coincides with your communication of the 14th ult. I have only to repeat my demand for full & ample reparations for all the injuries & 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, & With all due regards & respect Subscribe myself, Sir Your obd.

[Page 21 of 34] 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 & 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 & 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, & on the first day of May Kinau had an interview with Mr. Bachelot & Mr. Jules Dudoit & 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 & to Mr. Dudoit the owner of the Clementine, which was the 18th day of April, that the vessel should depart, together with Messrs.” Bachelot & 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 & his vessel, & those who have gone on board the vessel, viz Messrs “Bachelot & 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, &c Kamehameha III Notes: �1. J.C.

Maigret To: Kaahumanu II Content Summary: In response to Kīnaʻu's letter to Maigret and Murphy, Jules Dudoit brought a letter from L. Maigret and then proceeds to have a long discussion with Kīnaʻu regarding Dudoit's willingness to put up a bond to ensure that L. Maigret will leave Hawaiʻi in the designated time. The last part of this file is Dudoit's promise that he will pay the fine should Maigret land without permission. [Page 29 of 34] The next morning Mr. Dudoit brought the following from Mr. Maigret to Kaahumahu II. Oahu, Nov 3 1837 This certifies that I, Louis Maigret, a Frenchman, came on board the ship Europa as passenger at Valparaiso. & my object was to remain here until I could get a passage to the Marquesas on the dangerous Archipelago islands, & that I will conform to the laws & regulations of government at all times. (Signed) L. Maigret. Kaahumanu ^earnestly inquired of Mr. Dudoit if Maigret was a priest & he frankly declared that he was. She said he had concealed that fact. Mr. Dudoit said “Mr. Mai- �gret told him he was afraid he should not be permitted to land if it was known that he was a priest. I said that was wrong, & told Mr. Maigret he ought not to have done so. A long conversation ended as follows, Mr. Dudoit said that the refusal on the part of [Page 30 of 34] the government to allow a French subject to land was an infraction of the treaty, inasmuch as citizens of other countries were allowed to come & go freely, Kaahumanu said she did not consider it so. The laws forbid the landing of Roman Catholic priests, but does not forbid the landing of Frenchmen. She did 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 coming to these shores. It was ^not so understood when signed. Mr. Dudoit said that question he could not settle. K- said she would allow Mr. Maigret to land & stay any reasonable time, provided he gave bonds to go away within the time specified & not to teach his religion while here. Mr. Dudoit presumed no such terms would be complied with. It was never expected a man should give bonds in such a case. Mr. M only wished to stay a short time until he found an opportunity to go to the Marquesas. K. Why then did he not stay at the Society Islands? That was on his way. D. He heard that Bachelot & Short were imprisoned here & came to see if he could not aid them. K. Then let them procure a small vessel & go away together. D. They have no means, they cannot do that. K. I think he [Page 31 of 34] has no intention of leaving the islands. Mr. Walsh a British subject, landed under the same pretext, & has resided here a long time & we cannot get rid of him. D. I give you my word he will leave as soon as he finds an opportunity. K. Vessels never go from here �to the Marquesas: will you give a bond? D. No, Madam, I could not do that: I could not agree to pay my money. I give you my word that he will go away. K. Within how long a time? D. I can’t say - just as soon as he can get an opportunity. K. Cannot he get bonds in the village? D. I think not - nobody will expose themselves in this way. K. Will you give your word in writing officially as Capt Petit Thouars did in the case of Mr. Bachelot that he will go away in any definite period, or in case no other opportunity occurs that he shall be received on board a French ship of war. D. I will guarantee that he will go by the first opportunity, but no ship of war would take him unless he is willing to go. K. Are you a French consul? D. I have been nominated to that office, & Capt Petit Thouars said I should have it. K. Was he authorized to appoint consuls? Did he appoint you? D. He authorized me to act as consul until papers arrive from France K. Did he give you the appointment in writing? D. No. [Page 32 of 34] K: It seems then you can only give your word in the case as a private citizen, & are unwilling to give any of other bonds. D. Yes. K. That would not be according to this terms laid down by this government. D. It seems then Mr. M will not be allowed to land. K. Not unless he complies with the conditions. D. I consider it an infringement of the treaty. K. We do not. D. We shall see. It is then of no use to talk any longer. I will write you a letter & you can answer it & then the matters will rest for the present. I shall send both to the King of France. K. Very well. D. Be so good as to give the terms in writing. Mr Dudoit then requested the interpreter to write down the terms for him. The interpreter declined, but on the urgent solicitation of Mr. D. & the statements that he could not write English, the interpreter did it, read them to Mr. Dudoit, & interpreted to Kaahumanu, both of whom declared the mem- �orandum correct, & Mr. D. took it to carry to Mr. Maigret, saying, perhaps he would assent to them. The memorandum is as follows-may land on the following conditions1st Obseve the laws & regulations of the country & not teach his religion while here. [Page 33 of 34] 2d. Leave the islands within a definite period. 3d. give bonds for the fulfilment of these terms The correspondence already quoted from the supplement here ensued: After this Mr. Dudoit finding that Mr. Maigret would be obliged to go away in the Europa, made application for permission to remove him to a small schooner which he purchased for their use. This was aceeded to on the part of Kaahumanu & Mr. D gave the following bondMadam Kaahumanu II Madam, I bind myself to fulfil the same obligations as the captain of the Europa, that is, should Mr. Maigret land after his embarkation on board the schooner Honolulu without the permission, as your letter expressed, I will pay the fine.
