We arrived here on the 1st October after a passage of 21 days and two days after the steamer left for Panama, we were greatly disappointed in finding her gone, and we are waiting here till a we can obtain an opportunity for going down to Panama. Wonder there is no chance of going one before the first of the November. On arriving here we first stopped at the United States Hotel, but we did not make a very long stay there, but while we were ^there we were quite satisfied seeing all what San Francisco can boast �and that is their gambling house tables [Page 2 of 4] And we have removed ^here to the American House kept by Mr. Merrill & Beach. We find it a better lodging from the other hotel, we pay $21.00 a week for board and lodging. For the first four days we arrived here we had a very pleasant weather but for the two days past we have had rain and foggy weather. Our house not being quite finished leaks a great deal in one part of this house. Yesterday it rained all day so we were obliged to stay in the house all day, our room leaking we found is rather uncomfortable. We found it quite cold though the Doctor feels it more than we do, he been wrapped up in his blanket blanket all day. On our arrival here Mr. Eames the American Commissioner called on us. We are boarding together here, from all what we have seen of him, I think he is very [Page 3 of 4] gentlemanly man. The Doctor have had several communications with him. We are all enjoying a very good health though the Doctor is troubled with little cold. Yesterday the Steamer California arrived here from Panama, she brought no mail. Most of the merchants here quite disappointed in not finding the mail, and most of them were quite angry. However few papers have arrived. I have not read it but I seen some of the papers in our room for our perusal. You very kindly offered your service to take any letter from me to Miss Bernice �when we left, if I have any to write I will send it to your care, as you have always have treated me and brother as a father. I dont feel backkward at all in calling you, is what a very awkward position I am placed wi^th to her. To tell you the truth I was engaged to her before I left the school but my conduct upon leaving that establishment [Page 4 of 4] was so lose that she has given up the thought of ever being united to me.

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: [Page 1 of 4] Sloop of war Embuscade 47 Harbor of Honolulu Sep 1 1842 Sir; I have the honor to inform your majesty that since the treaties of July 12th & 17th 1839 French citizens & ministers of the catholic religion have been insulted & subjected to divers unjust measures, concerning which your Majesty has not probably been informed. Subordinate agents, ignorant or ill dishonest & without any special order from government have thrown down churches, threatened the priests & compelled their disciples to attend protestant places of worship & 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 & the commandments of the French Frigate Artemise, grants free exercise to the Catholic religion & 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 & 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 & 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 & approved by your Majesty; & 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 & approved always by the government of your majesty; & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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.

Mallet] Content Summary: Kauikeaouli’s response to Mallet’s letter (written Sept. 1st) refuting Captain Mallet's allegations that the terms of the treaties signed with France were not upheld. Typescript: [Page 1 of 4] 48 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 & 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 & all its disciples & this has been done as far as lay in our power & no one can [Page 2 of 4] prove to the contrary. But it is impossible to put a stop to disputes & contentions between rival religions & the evils & complaints which result from them. The laws favor literature & 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, �& 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 & 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 & 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 & our salutations, Signed Kamehameha III Kekauluohi Correspondence between Capt. of Fr. Ship Embuscade & King of Sand. Islands Recd. Jan. 4, 1843.

Peace & hapiness to you all now & 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 & Wife, A.A. Sturges & wife, L.H. Gulick & wife, E.W. Clark, J.T.Gulick, Opunui & wife, Kaaikaula & wife, and Kekela. H. Holdsworth is Captain of the vessel. I therefore take the liberty to commend these good teachers to your care & friendship; to exhort you to listen to their instructions, & to seek their acquaintance. I have seen the value of such teachers. We here on my islands once lived in ignorance & idolatry. We were given to war & we were very poor. Now my people are enlightened; we live in peace & 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, & pray to him, & he has blessed them. I advise you to throw away your idols, take the Lord Jehovah for your God, worship & love him, & he will bless & love you. May He “make these new teachers a great blessing to you, & your people & whithold from you no good thing. Kamehameha Notes: 1.
