It Is generally understood that tbeex queen's policy, should she be restored, would be one of general amnesty, with the exception of a tew men, at the bead of the provisional government.

I repeat hero what has. been amply verified again and again, that uelther by force or by threat of force or by any action of mine was the fall of the monarohy pre cipitated." For months prior to Nov. 1802, there had been a continual struggle between the legisature and the queen as to their respective rights aud only the remark able self possession of the respectable and responsible men of tho Islands pre vented an outbreak at au earlier day. Believing there was no prospect of aet- tlelng the difficulty, Stevens left Ho no lulu on January 4th on a trip to Hllo, returning January I4tb In company with Capt. Wlltz, aud found the city In great excitement and tho tide of revolution already surging.

WhattooK place on the afternoon of Jan. 14th, ended the monarchy forever. - That the Hawaiian monarohy was overturn ed by United Stats forces was and Is put forth for tho so'e purpose of bring ing discredit on the preceding admin istration nt Wellington and on the acting foreign relations committee of the United States senate, supposed to favor annexation.
