NE W ZEALAND.

A dispatch, of which the following is a copy. was
received yesterday by Colonel Wakefield, the principal
agent of the New Zealand Company. It will relieve
many long-existingalixieties

" Wellington, New Zealand, Dec. 21, 1846.
" Sir,—The detention of the Ralph Bernal allows me the
satisfaction of briefly acquainting you, for the information of
the Court of Directors, that the suspense in which the
company's claims to land have remained during the whole of
the year now drawing to a close, has been terminated by the
arrival here of Governor Grey on a visit, the object of which
is the assumption by his Excellency of measures for bringing
the adjustment of the question to a conclusion. The dis-
turbed state of the native tribes at the Bay of Islands and
in this neighbourhood has, throughout the above period,
prevented the Governor from himself personally directing
the steps necessary to the attainment of this desirable end.
" For the purpose, also, of obviating the inconvenience and
difficulties presented, by the great distance between the seat
of Government and the company's establishments, to the
satisfactory framing and settlement of the Crown grants to
the company, the Attorney-General has been directed to
meet his Excellency here ; and he may be expected to ar-
rive in a few days.

"The Governor, with a view to the complete subjection
of llangiaiata and the disaffected natives under his orders
who are posted on the coast near Manawatu, and of the re-
fractory chiefs at Wanganui, who occasionally disturb the
peace of the settlement there, brought with him in the Driver
steam-ship a reinforcement of troops. Her Majesty's ship
Racehorse was to leave Auckland with an additional force a
few days ago, and the frigate Castor is to return to this port
from Hobart Town next month.

"A detachment of 1.50 men of the .58th Regiment, accom.
panied by a small force of artillerymen, with two guns, has
been conveyed to Wanganui in her Majesty's ship Calliope,
and there posted, with orders to take up a commanding posi.
tion, and to build a fort on an eminence commanding and
protecting the town of Petre.
" These preliminary steps, under the circumstances of the
detention of Rauparaha and the two other chiefs, appre-
hended at Porerua, and of the failure of Rangiaiata to collect
a force sufficient to enable him to renew his hostile proceed-
ings, will now become only precautions against further out-
break, and, in the opinion of all, facilitate the peaceable ac-
quisition of the districts immediately required.
" I have received since his Excellency's arrival an assur-
ance from him that he has sanguine hopes of settling, with-
out delay, the claims of the company, by the measures he
proposes to adopt during his present stay in the south.—l
have the honour to be, Sir, &c.
" W. WAKEFIELD, Principal Agent.
" To the Secretary of the New Zealand
Company. &c."
