The Right Hon. the Secretary of State for War, &c., London. Headquarters, Queen's Redoubt, Sept. 4,1863. Sir,--I have the honour to forward, for your ex cellency's information, the copy of a report from Ensign Dawson, 2d Battalion Royal Irish, of an attack made upon the patrol under his command, near the village of Pokeno, on the morning of the 2d inst., with one from Captain the Hon. F. Le Poer Trench,4oth Regiment, whom, on hearing the firing, I ordered to proceed in supp or t w ith th e inlying piquet from the Queen's Red ou bt. The gallantry of Ensign Dawson and his patrol, in charging the enemy:without hesitation when fired upon suddenly from the bush, their steadiness when they found themselves nearly surrounded by supe rior numbers, and the manner in which Captain Trench brought up his support, and assisted in put tingthose two officers and the detachments under their the enemy to flight , r eflect g re at credit upon command, which consisted of parties of the 2d Bat talion 18th, 40th, and 65th Regiments.—l have, &c., (Signed) D. A. CAMERON. K.O B„ &c. His Excellency Sir George Grey, Queen's Redoubt, Sept. 4, 1863. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the infor mation of the Lieutenant-General Commanding, that on the morning of. Sept. 2 I was subaltern in charge of the Pokeno piquet, of two sergeants and 60 rank and file, leaving Queen's Redoubt at about seven o'clock a.m., when within about half a mile of the village I was attacked in my rear by a body of Maories. I ordered my men to face about and charge them. We drove them down a gully towards the swamp into the bush on the right of Pokeno village. I followed them for about half a mile along the track towards Paparoa. Hearing yells in the direction of the village, I returned along the track to the open ground where I was first fired on. On arriving there I was received with a volley from the enemy, who were extended across the whole of the clearing, then between me and the village, and also from the bush on the right. I cannot too highly praise the steady conduct of the men at this moment. The enemy appearing in great force, I ordered the men to remain in skirmishing order, and to keep a steady fire, taking advantage of any cover the ground afforded. From the commotion I occasionally perceived, I concluded that our fire was effectual, and that the Maories were removing their wounded. I remained in the position I had taken up until reinforced by Captain the Hon. F. Le P. Trench, 40th Regiment, who then assumed the com mand, and by h a order I advanced with the skir mishers.—l have, &c., (Signed) CHARLTON DAWSON, Ensign, 2d Battalion, 18th Royal Irish The Assistant Military Secretary, &e., Head-quarters. Queen's Redoubt, Sept. 4, 1863. Sir,--I have the honour to report, for the infor mation of the Lieutenant-General Commanding, that at about half-past seven o'clock on the morning of the 2d, I was ordered to march the inlying picket to the support of the patrol at Pokeno village' When within about half a mile from the village I, found the patrol, under command of Ensign Daw son, 2d Battalion, 18th Royal Irish, engaged with a body of Maories, who at that time occupied the bush on the right of the village, and the clearing on this side of it, which is covered with fallen timber. I immediately reinforced the skirmishers, who ad vanced, driving the Maories from the clearing, and oat of the village into the bash. After scouring the bush on the right of the village, the enemy having made their retreat in that direction, and deeming that further pursuit was useless, I re turned to the Queen's Redoubt.

Henry Boys, left Plymouth Sound on Monday evening for the Cape of Good Hope and China. The screw steamsloop Cordelia, 11, and the paddlewheel steamsloop Gladiator, 6, at Davonport, are nearly ready for the first division of the Steam Reserve in Hamonze. The Bermuda Royal Gazette of October the 2 7th, states that it was the intention of Rear-Admiral of the Red Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., to make his nsual cruise in the Nile to the West India portion. of his station about Christmas, and then return to Bermuda, where he will meet his successor, Rear- Admiral of the Red Sir Jas. Hope, K.C.8., shortly after that season. The screw steam frigate Immor talitCe 35, Captain Ge.orge Hancock, was appointed to leave Bermuda on the 28th of October, for Bar badoes. The Italian line-of-battle ship Re Galan tuomo, Capt. Ulisse Isola, from Italy for New York, arrived at Bermuda on the 22d of October. She had on board officers and a crew for an ironclad frigate, recently built at New York for the Italian. Government. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham directing that the iron plated frigate Caledonia, 35, 1,000 horse power, is not to be sent to that dock yard, as was at first ordered, but is to be fitted at Sheerness for the first division of the Steam Reserve, A subsequent order directs her to be brought for ward with all despatch, as she is intended to join the iron squadron of the Channel fleet. The Cale donia has been taken under the mastiag sheats to take in her masts. The Bombay, 67, 400 horse power, has had her lower masts put in under the floating shears in Chatham harbour; and will to-day occupy the dock vccated yesterday by the iron paddlewheel steamer Recruit, in order to undergo some extensive repairs, and to be fitted for a flagship. The Bombay is to be ready for sea by the 30th of March next. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Christopher C.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS• TIMER.--In course of time we may possibly arrive at, something like general principles upon which we may all agree to judge the spontaneous and unex pected acts of our army and navy on the other side of the world. Such acts there must inevitably be, so long as we retain the wide and spreading dominion of commerce and arms which we inherit from our fathers. Even with the electric telegraph it is evi dent that a British Admiral in the Japanese or Australian seas will frequently have to act on his own responsibility, and determine the precise mo ment when a tedious negotiation is to result in the last appeal. We only hear when the deed has been done and is a matter of history. Under such circumstances there is a great and very natural temptation to take a sentimental view of the affair, and to blow either the trumpet of triumph and praise, or the hardly less sonorous, though not equally musical note of the philanthropic or saintly objector. Everybody would read with pleasure Lord Clarence Paget , a very handsome professional advocacy of Admiral Kuper. His Lordship is a good fellow, and so, no doubt, is the Admiral, and it would be very shabby if they did not stand by one another. The Admiral, says Lord Clire,nee, went to Kago sima on an errand of mercy and peace ; while dis charging it as quietly and civilly as he could, the affair was precipitated by the violence of the Daimio, and when the crews rose from dinner to point their guns on the batteries blazing upon them, the sudden storm and swell of the sea sent the shot and shell flying in all directions among the rows of bamboo huts before which the Daimio had imprudently built his forts. So far as the Admiral was concerned, the col- lision was inevitable, and met with the utmost consi deration. All this sounds very proper, and no doubt it is the decision which the British public will have to accept. For our part, we feel that we have to deal with such an operation as a whole, and that cer tainly at the distance of many weeks and twelve thousand miles we must be content to leave the smaller ,ncidents to the critics who deal with trifles. If we send out the best men we can for the purpose, and find them acting to the best of their abilit y, we are bound to continue our confidence in them till we see the plainest ground for withdrawing it. We must pronounce a favourable judgment, if only because we have no means of pronouncing unfavourably, and are aware that the situation is always one of the greatest difficulty. In this case, a Murder having been committed, the murderers having been pro tected, the protector having defied both us and his own Government, his Sovereign having been at last reluctantly obliged to confess his inability to enforce the law, and every stage of negotiation having been gone through, an armed expedition is sent to ob• tain satisfaction. The squadron finds immense pre parations made to deteat it, the natural difficulties considerable, and these difficulties suddenly aggra vated by a storm. The question really was whether the squadron should accomplish its task as well as it could, or retreat if it could without striking a blow, leaving the rebellious harbourer of the murderers to proclaim a victory, to double his preparations, and wait for more chances in his favour. The Admiral took possession of the steamships prepared agains us, and after that had no alternative but to proceed vigorously by the rules of war in such cases. Being attacked, he had to defend himself, and did no more than destroy his prizes and silence the hostile bat teries—if, indeed, he did not silence them entirely, for that is denied by the enemy. It seems to us frivolous to divide such a work into so many sue• cessive stages and particular incidents for the pur pose of showing either that the work was done as well as possible or not so well. No course of action in the world will stand that test. Nobody charged with a difficult responsibility ought to be required to defend every particular step in a complicated operation, for in a succession of difficulties it is in human to expect that every difficulty has been met with infallible wisdom. Jurisprudence, legislation, and:government have all their difficulties and draw backs, even though they have days, weeks, years, generations at their command,—even though men may sleep over them, take them up and lay them down sons. an A d fter tak a e ll them up again, li ve through them, and hand them down to sons and sons' of civil lif e are d one with perfect wisdom and entire success We cannot app l y a more str i ngen t criticism to the actions o f men who w h can o, in s a a t an entirely h t thesenew affairs situa tionat the other end of the world, find themselves pitted for life and death with unknown swarms of a strange enemy, and have to negotiate, to fight, to conquer, to perish, or to fly, all in the space of two or three hours. A minute or two is all the time which the exigency will allow for the most momentous deliberation, and it is on a rising sea, in blinding rain and wind, and under a shower of missiles„ the commander of the little squadron has to make deci sions which Mr. Cobden pulls to pieces over a lib rary table, and others wilt u n d erta k e to prove th e perfection of wisdom, if not matter of positive congra tulation. The truth is we have only just arrived at the substance of this shadowy realm which has so long mocked all the efforts of curiosity and commerce. Our treaty with the supposed Central Government turns out to be worth very little, that Government being incompetent and illusory. Its engagements have only led to a further collision with the real heart and core of the Empire, the feudal chiefs who appear to possess the country with an overgrown pomp and an utter selfishness worthy of an irrespon sible and rebellious aristocracy. The Central Govern ment by Tycoons, of which we have heard so much from our childhood, turns out a political fiction for the apparent responsibility of duties which the real possessors of the country only discharge as they please. Wh a t we h a d b roug ht t o t erms p re vious to this affair i s as muc h a s h am as t h e paper wa ll s of Chinese warfare. W e are now f ace t o f ace w ith the reality of government and power.

In the case of Japan there a z d it st b il e l in is g , the disposition inferred that ourposition to e xc l u d e aandlw always w insult as n presence will be dangerous to the pret • ensions of men who stand by brute power and act accordingly. The Japanese Princes rule a nation of clever in genious, and useful slaves. They know well their own fate if these slaves should be infected with the leaven of European civilisation. Their fears are not without reason, but it is too late to exclude us. They must now be held to the treaty made in their behalf for the admission of the rest of mankind to the ordinary privileges of humanity. POST.—Whatever may be the decision that Aus tria and Prussia may take with reference to the personal claims of Prince Frederic of Augusten burg, it cannot be too strongly pointed out that they form but one out of many elements o f w hi ch the complex Holstein question is composed. On this head there appears to be a remarkable confusion in the public mind. There was a Holstein question before the claims of Prince Frederic were put for ward, and there still would be a Holstein question if his pretensions were to be now universally repu diated. Peace or war between Germany and Den mark depends, therefore, not so much on any deci sion which the two great German Powers may take with reference to this pretender to the throne of the three Duchies, but on the spirit of moderation or violence - which may mark their counsels on the whole question. For example, Austria and Prussia being already committed to the Treaty of 1852, it would be extremely difficult, at the least, for those P owe rs to commence hostilities with Denmark on the avowed ground of supporting the House of Augustenburg ; although the intelli gence of our correspondent at Paris, as will be seen in another column, is that they have actually adopted the pretensions of Prince Frederic. But there would still remain the question of the alleged infraction of her engagements by Denmark in hol stein and Lauenburg ; and th e new question started only a week ago, of the incorp ora tion of Schleswig into the Danish monarchy, by virtue of the common constitution granted on the 18th inst. to Denmark and Schleswig. It is difficult to suppose that a Federal invasion, to which Austria and Prussia should be parties, would openly bear the character of an act designed to violate the Treaty of 1852 ; but it is not so difficult to entertain the contingency of an invasion, under a specious as sumption of Federal prerogative, which should at last have the result of enforcing the claims of the present pretender or s ome other play thing in the hands of the Frankfort Diet. Thus we learn that the Courts of Vienna and Berlin have already delivered a protest to this Federal body against the common constitution just granted to Denmark and Schleswig. This act of Christian IX. they resent as a violation of German rights, inasmuch as they claim Schleswig as an ap panage of Holstein, and disavow its constitutional connection with Denmark. Independently, more over, of this new grievance, there were, as we all know, anterior grounds of complaint on which a Federal execution in Holstein, and not improbably aninvasion of Schleswig also, was designed before the recent death of Frederic VII. If, therefore, the Germans now resolve to invade Denmark in earnest, it is with them rath er a ca se of an embarrass de rzehesse as to which pretexA they shall adopt, than one in which they are absolutely driven upon an outward adoption of that eapat mortuum the Prince of Augustenburg. King Christian himself, although acting with rectitude and boldness, appears to have felt the full force of the danger he was incurring at the hands of Germany in adopting the new consti tution ; and, whatever may be the ultimate accep tance or rejecti on o f th e c laims of Prince Frederic, isit already apparent that Austria and Prussia per ceive that this new grievance affords them the ad vantage of a pretext on which they have in no way committed themselves. Meanwhile, there is too much reason to apprehend that the temper of the Germ an and Holstein people will urge them to acts of vioience, un l ess thi s mo vement is repressed by an administrative rigour of which, in Germany at least, there is at present no indication ; but, unfortunately, altogether the reverse. In Holstein there is already a civil mutiny. Nearly all the officials have de clared against King Christian ; and the deputies, dislodged from their treasonable meeting at Kiel, have already gone to breathe a freer air at Frank fort. On the German side of the frontier a branch of the National Vercin has already declared the necessity of dethroning the Danish Monarch in the three Duchies claimed by the Prince of Angus tenburg ; and the number of German Grand Dukes who are thronging to his standard is in creasing. Public meetings are everywhere foment ing this agitation; and it bids fair to become a serious question with the German Sovereigns whether they will not be incurring greater danger from their own subjects in restraining themselves from an invasion than from the foreign Powers who might present themselvea as the allies of Den mark. There appears to be little doubt that King Christian will be obliged to maintain his rights against the Holstsiners by vigorous measures, as well as against the Germans. Impelled by revolu tionary influences from the left bank of the Elbe, the Holateiners appear as though nothing but mili tary force would restrain them from open rebellion. If we consider what the force of the enthusiasm in behalf of an invasion of the Danish dominions already is throughout Germany, we may well ima gine how it will be intensified by the not improbable spectacle of an active conflict between the King of Denmark and his Holstein subjects. If the German Governments shall then pretend that they are led on by the force of the public will to actual warfare, that plea, far from being entertained as any defence of the fatal course they may then have assumed, will reflect upon them the severest moral censure for having failed to restrain the enthusiasm of the public while it was yet possible to do so. But whether Austria and Prussia shall openly adopt . _ the pretensions of the Prince of Augustenburg, or whether they shall fall back upon other pretexts for an invasion of Holstein—which, whether it ex tend to Schleswig or not, can now be nothing less than a war with Denmark both at sea and by land —they may be certain that the Western Powers will stand by the Convention of 1852, and they will feel equally bound in honour and by policy to defend Denmark in the trying situation in which she will then be placed. It is therefore for the Germans to bear in mind that the danger as well as the responsibility, of the situation rests with them selves rather than with the Danes. THE SCILLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION, The protest of Denmark against the motion of the Envoy of Baden : " The Envoy is obliged to energetically protest, in the name of his Government, against all the pre tensions of the members of the ducal line of Augus tenburg to the succession in the Duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg, these pretensions being utterly -de void of foundation. The Envoy hastens to add— with the view of meeting, once for all, any eventual pretensions of this kind—that Duke Christian Augustus of Augustenburg, by an act of the 30th of December, 1852, has given to the royal Government the assurances set forth as follows in Articles 2 and 3 :-- wish ho lli to a o j u e ur s e t og y fu ", 2. Further, we not only engage ourselves by this present in so far as concerns our person and our family to establish henceforth our domicile without the limits of the kingdom and country of course understood, we a , 3.

" The Envoy may further refer to the treaty passed in London, May 8, 1852, between all the great Powers, with the intention of preservi • ng the peace and integrity of the Danish monarchy, which treaty regulates the order of successi on - in this monarchy. The two great German Powers took part in the conclusion of this treaty, which is the result of the most conscientious exami nat ion of all the questions implicated in the order of succession. Several German Governments have adhered to this treaty, and if others have had scruples in antici pating the decision of the Germanic Confederation; almost all of those which have declared themselves on this subject h a ve expressly recognised the legi timacy and opportuneness of the conclusion of this treaty for the purpose of maintaining the peace and equilibrium of Europe, and they are satisfied with the execution of the treaty. "The Envoy, in protecting in the most formal manner the rights thus originating, and all the other rights of his very august Sovereign, reserves himself the right of making ulterior declarations in the name of his Government." The protest of Denmark against the motion of Oldenburg, Anhalt, and Schwarzburg is as follows ; " DENMARK FOR. HOLSTEIN AND LAUENEURG. "The Envoy, while referring again to his decla rations, protests, and reserves made during this session, sees himself obliged to bring up specially the circumstance that the motion submitted to the High Assembly has been presented by the repre sentative of a Government which has expressly adhered to the treaty of London of May 8, 1852, and Whose Sovereign by an act emanating from him directly, datedgareh 28,1854, clearly and with ev ay requisite informality r,:quounced his eventual rights —rights, moreover, which were always denied by Denmark—to the succession in the Dachy of Hol stein, and that in favour o f I ,..`ie actual reigning cendan to marriage King Christian IX., and of his le des m issuing in direct line from his . 4 " '*li Queen iage wt.. Louise." The protest of Denmark against the acceptance I Mar., by the Envoy of Baden of the part of Plenipoten tiary of the Duke of Augustenburg : "DENMARK FOR HOLSTEIN AND LAUENBURG. " The Envoy is obliged to protest solemnly here, and now in the name of his most high Government, agait.st the acceptance of the plenipotentiary of a prince whose claims to the succession in the Duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg are completely void of foundation. While doing this the Envoy expressly refers to the declarations to be afterwards formu lated in the course of to-day's session." Protest of Denmark relative to the declaration of the grand-ducal and ducal houses of Saxony, especially of Saxe-Coburg : " DENMARK FOR .HOLSTEIN AND LAUENBURG. " The Envoy, referring to the declarations and reserves which he made on the subject of the motion of the grandolucal Envoy of Baden, takes the liberty of calling the attention of the Germanic Diet to the disastrous consequences which might result from the non-admission to this high assem bly of the representative of his Majesty the King of Denmark, as a member of the Germanic Confede ration, after the King of Denmark has assumed the reins of Government in his countries which are part of the Germanic Confederation. Conse quently the Envoy is obliged to protest solemnly against the proposed exclusion." The Cologne Gazette says :—" The question of Lauenburg offers certain difficulties. This duchy, which formed part of Hanover since 1689, was ceded by Hanover to Prussia in virtue of a treaty of May 29, 1815, and by another treaty of June 4 in the same year Prussia ceded the duchy to Den mark in exchange for Swedish Pomerania and the Island of Rugen. In all these acts all the rights and privileges were reserved to the country as well as the male succession founded on the ancient German right. At present, it is true, the male line reigns in Denmark in virtue of the protocol of Lon don ; but if this document did not exist the throne would have been inherited by the female line, a line which could not succeed in Lauenburg, because in all cases the rights of more ancient branches, and especially those of the Augustenburg branch, should be asserted." New Zealand Despatches. (From the Gazette of last night,) WAR-OFFICE, NOV. 2L The Secretary of State for War has received despatches from Lieutenant-General Cameron, C,8., commanding the troops in New Zealand, of which the following are copies:— Head-quarters, Queen's Redoubt, Aug. 31, 1863. My Lord,—l have the honour to report that I have not been able to undertake any operation of importance since the date of my last despatch. Having received intelligence that a body of in- surgents had collected at the villages of Paparoa an d Pttparata, about 14 miles to the east of our position on the Koheroa, I marched a force of about 700 men there on the night of the Ist August, with the intention of surprising them ; but on reaching the villages we found them deserted, the natives having retired into the dense bush behind them, which is of such vast extent that it would have been useless to have followed them into it. I herewith inclose a report which I made of this movement to his Excellency Sir George Grey. On the 14th August I advanced the head-quarters ofothheerolalit to Regiment from our first p os ition on the K e one about four miles up the Waikato, c lose to the Whangamarino, a small tributary of the former river. About two miles higher up the - Waikato, and on the same bank, at a place called Meri-meri, the Waikato tribes and their allies are assembled in considerable numbers, under William Thompr one of their principal chiefs, and have posted them selves on a height commanding the river, which they h a ve fortified with much skill and care . This position is one of great natural strength, as a force attacking it by land must advance along a narrow strip of scrub and bush, until it reaches the foot o f t h e position; or, if the attack b e ma d e by water, the force must be landed out of boats imme diately under the fire of several lines of rifle pits. There is no point on the bank of the river from which the position can be shelled with effect. I consider it would not be prudent to attack under these disadvantages without the aid of artil lery, and I have therefore ordered four cargo boats to be fitted to carry an Armstrong gun in each ; and I intend to defer the attack until they are ready. when I hope the iron steamer will also have arrived from Sydney. Working parties of civilians and soldiers have been employed for some time past, at the expense of the Colonial Government, in clearing the bush on each side of our line of communication, in order that our convoys may pass with greater safety. When finished I hope to reduce the strength of the escorts and of the posts along the road, which entail very severe duties upon the troops, and diminish the force available for active operations. On the 26th inst. one of these working parties which, contrary to orders, had no covering party for its protection, was surprised by a large body of natives, and lost two men killed and 21 stand of arms, five of which were afterwards found in the bush. The report of this occurrence, which I for warded to his Excellency Sir George Grey, is enclosed. Nothing of consequence has taken place in the other provinces of the Northern Island.--I have, &c., (Signed) D. A. CAMERON, Lieut.-General. The Right Hon. the Secretary of State for War, &c., London. Headquarters, Queen's Redoubt, Aug. 3, 1863. Sir, —I have the honour to inform your excel lency that on the night of the Ist inst. I left the Queen's Redoubt with a force of 700 men, including a party of seamen and marines of her Majesty's steamer Harrier, for the purpose of reconnoitring the villages of Paparoa and Paparata, where I had reason to believe that a large body of rebels had collected; Captain Sullivan, commanding her Ma jesty's ship Harrier, accompanied the force. After a fatiguing night march, the last mile of which was through very high and thick scrub, we reached Paparoa at daybreak, and found it entirely deserted, though it had evidently been recently l oc cupied, and I have little doubt that the nat ives he received some notice of our movements. After searching this village, we proceeded along a bush track, which I was afterwards inferin ed led ata. to Hanrake, having missed the track to P . aP a on Some natives, concealed so far within tho bush r Li ed fire on our right as to be perfectly invisible , ° P e idier of the 12th the leading files, and wounded a o °‘ Regiment. We replied to their fi r e for some time, bush and scrub but as, from the character of th e within reach of near it, it was impossible t° g it et advisable to lose them, and I did not con% I withdrew the force time in searching for a track, on the part of the leisurely, without any attempt t natives to follow us. When we had reached the open ground a large body of natives came down from the ranges, and, joining the party in thebush, tommenced a rapid an d continuous fir e of musketry in the most absu r d manner, as though they had been closely engaged w ith an enem y, although at that time we must have b een fully a mile and a half from them. The troops returned to the Queen's Redoubt about three o'clock in the afternoon, having been under a rms since half-past seven the previous evening, and having marched nearly 30 miles. I have every reason to be satisfied with the cheer ful manner in which this arduous duty was per formed by the troops, and with the conduct of all the officers and men composing the force, puticu larly of the detachment of the 12th Regiment, under Miller, for the bold and intelligent manner BEAUTIFUL FOR EVER.
