Convention, which can properly be said to be granted to the subjects or citizens of the Contracting parties, within the scope of the 3rd Art. of the existing Treaty between England and the Sandwich Islands.

Her Majesty's Government consider themselves entitled, therefore, by the stipulations of the 4th Article to insist upon no other or higher duty being imposed on the importation of British produce into the Hawaiian Islands than that payable on the like produce of the United States; and that, as no duties would, under the Convention with the United States, be payable in Hawaiian Ports on the import of articles specified in Article II of that Convention, the same Exemption must hold in favour of the like articles imported from Her Majesty's dominions.

I have thus placed you in possession of the views of Her Majesty's Government as to the rights of this Country arising out of the Existing Treaty. It is possible, however, that the Hawaiian Government may contest the justice of the interpretation thus put on the stipulations of that Treaty, and may avail themselves of their power to denounce the Treaty.
