CORRESPONDENCE.

[ff* <io not io d oars*!n’S r for the opiaioaa orthe utte»nc«s f our correaiondentfi.] Edit<»b Holomi a: Yoqt criticism on the Boston’s [ officers for not attending the dance at the Hotel tbe other w:ts I think unnecessirilv severe. Knowmg, that frora the day"tbey were ordered to Iand to render assistanoe io the revolutionists. np to the present d <y, j none of thera, (whatev©r their private opinions raay be on the j situation’) have shown any >ociaI ditferences, and it is hard to bolieve that they were absent from that social atlair for auy political reason. The Advertiser editor in his editorial of the 15th inst. speak- ! ing of tlio intended departnre of the Boston. embraces the opportnnity of writiug a polilieal obituary on the snip aml hi-r officers, and beantifnlly raixes them up i with Hawaiiau po!itics, all because they carried out tlieir offieial iustructions, on the lGtb cf January last. lf all offioials acts of a naval officer are to be eonsidered as acts of a personal uature, lie is to be pitied. That editor further says, that the Boston’s officers have endeared themselvps to the Anierican colony here, and won tbe esteem of the Provisional Goverument. Is thut so, are the mem!iors of that colony, and the Governmeut, the on!y people in this Kingdom( I am bound to say, that those officeis have uiade friends and endeared themselves to jnst as many, perhaps more, persons who are rova!ists. Those officers ure •/ not as partisan in their feelings or actions, astho Advertiser ende&vors to make this community believe. PiOYALIST.
