San Francisco, May 28.—The steamship China arrived from Honolulu tonight, bringing the following advices under date of May 20:
The correspondence between British Commissioner Hawes and the foreign office will soon close with the laurels in the hands of the foreign office. The claim made by the political prisoners, Richard and Walker, has been completely refuted by the evidence submitted by the foreign office. The written application of these men for naturalization, the payment of the fees, the taking of the oath of allegiance and the service of a year in the legislature one of them has been carefully proved.
The British commissioner finds that he was deceived by the statement of these men, and will so report to the British foreign office. It was the expectation of these men that the British government would interfere in a summary manner and the royalists are bitterly disappointed that the case goes against them.
