not equally to be attained by the maintenance of their independence. That independence having beon recognized by
the United States, and having been pointedly adverted to by the representatives of
this country upon a recent occasion, it
was obviously our duty ns well as our
interest to respect it. This very transaction will have placed the independence of
the Sandwich Islands on the strongest

that no other Stale will venture to appropriate what England has conceived herself bound to restore, after it hail been

from the British Minister at Washington,

Washington, June 23th, 1843.

Instructions which, during the past year,
were addressed liy her Majesty's governtiicnt lo tho Itritish consul residing in the
Sandwich Islands, nnd to the naval officers
employed on tho Pacific station, enjoined
those officer* to treat upon all occasions, the
imtivc rulers of the Sandwich Islands with
forhcarance and courtosy; and, while nHording due nnd efficient prntculion to aggrieved
Hiitish subjects, to avoid interfering harshly
or unnecessarily with the laws and customs
of the native government.
It has been the desiro of the Itritish government, regulating the intercourse N its
politic servants with the native authorities
ol'tlie Sandwich Islands, rather to strengthen those nuthorities nnd give limn n sense
of their own independence liy leaving the
administration of justice in their own hands,
than to make (hem feel their dependence upon foreign powers by the exercise of unnecessary interference. It has not been the
