The Star in a sort of veiled allegory in whieh it is endeavoring to refute some suppositious eeeleeiastical £nglishman exposes b>th his and its ewn knowledge of English history of the Norm«nAngev!n period. We will however draw a veil over tbis and simply notice one sentence of tbe allegory whieh we commend to tbe attention of Minister Blount and the American nation as being a eomplete justiticition of all that Mr. Nordhoffever wroteandthat wehave urgedas to the previeus conductand views of the present upholder* of the goverument and start«rs of the revolution. We do thi« as the alIegory of a situation between England and France is simply intend ed to veil their views of the preBent *ituation helween tbe Hawaiian people aud the present usurper8 —the F)nglish in the allegory being the present P. G. and its adherents. (The italicsareours.) *‘Suppoee, however, thal France had been a lillle island uf the sea, whieh had been Christianized and controlled by the Euglish for three generations? Snppose that Eng!ish eapiial had dcvelo[«d i nearly all its enterpri8es and created its weallh?
