THE FRENCH IN THE PACIFIC.
By Telegraph.—Prers Association. Copyright. Received July SO, 0.50 a.m. Sydney, July 29. In connection with the trouble between the French authorities and the natives of the Society Islands, a special Commissioner, M. Chesse, is now on his way to Tahiti to investigate the matter. He is empowered by the French Government to take part in reorganising the administration of the Society and "Windward Islands, and the warship Aube has been placed at his service. The chief trouble is with the Native Queen at Raitea and Huahine. Recently the warship Pourvoyeur seized the three principal leaders of the insurrection and deported them to the Marquesas. In the meantime the Queen had been to Raratonga to see Mr F. J. Moss, the British Resident there, for the Surpose of inducing him to move the British Government to interfere on behalf of her subjects; but Mr Moss declined to do anything in the matter.
