Ship Portsmouth.— This fine ship anchored , in the outer harbour of Honolulu, on Sunday, June 10. She has been expected here, says the Polynesian, for several months, but has been delayed by troubles in some of the porta upon the coast, which required the intervention of a man-of war. For the last aeveri months tbo Portsmouth has been actively engaged in visiting all the ports of any importance in California, Mexico, and Central America; and in several instances has rendered effectual service to American ‘ nteres ta. She left San Juan del Sud on the 11th of May, and anchored at Hilo on the '6th June, We understand that it is the intention of Capt. Dornin to make but a short visit now ; and after a cruise among the other islands of the group, to return to Honolulu in three or four weeks. Salutes were exchanged be tween the Portsmouth, and the shore on Monday, at twelve o’clock, noon.—San Francisco Herald. Iktebventicn.— The Polynesian declares the statement made by the New York Herald that the King of

the Sandwich Islands had addressed another strong appeal to the President of the United States for the pro* t< c ion of this country to be afforded him against the designs of France, to be without the slightest foundation in truth.— lb. The U. S. Frigate St. Lawr nee, Commander Dulaney. arrived at Honolulu July Ist, twenty-five days from Paita. On Earning that the small pox prevailed there, she immediately sailed tor Lahaina, where the Portsmouth was then lying.— lb. The French Fleet on the way to the Sandwich Islands.— Extract from a letter received by Wells, Fargo K Co., from an American Commercial House in Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, dated July 2nd, 1853: ■“The small pox is raging among the natives, from thirty to forty, of late, have been dying daily. We hope that it will soon run its course and stop. Ihe U.- S. Sloop-of-war Portsmouth sailed a week ago for Lahaina, to give her men liberty there. ..Yesterday the U. S. Fiigate St. Lawrence, Commodore Dulaney, arrived in the outer roads, and on learning the state of sickness, she left immediately for Lahaina, in pursuit of the former ship. We conjecture that there is something in the wind, or these two ships-of-war would not arrive here so soon after each other; and again, when the frigate was outside diamond Point she fired, forty • four guns—she was fully prepared for action. It is reported by her that eleven French men-of-war are on the coasts, and are probably destined for these Islands. (We hope so.) We are informed, credibly, that should there be any arrival of a French character, with any warlike demonstrations, the Stars and Stripes would be immediately run up, on the different Islands. Me are anxiously waiting for such an event. It will sooner or later occur.”— lb.
