From Our Own Correspondent

Papeete, Mar. 26.

pRINCESS Teriinui-o-Tahiti, daughter

of the late Pomare V., last reigning king of Tahiti, sailed from Papeete in March by the Commissaire Ramel for France. She was accompanied by her cousin, Princess Moeterauri Tetupaia i Hauviri.

The latter is the daughter of Princess Tevahineairoroatua Teriirourumaonaite rai Tepomateao, who herself is the great grand-daughter of Queen Pomare IV.; daughter King Tamatoa V., of Raiatea; and daughter of Princess Teriinavahoroa (daughter of Tamatoa).

The two princesses are voyaging to France to attend the International Ex position at Paris. It is probable that they will extend their travels to England to witness the Coronation ceremonies.
