CONFLICT BETWEEN THE BRITISH COLONISTS
AND THE ABORIGINES
AUCKLAND (NEW ZEALAND), Mancit 28; b
Sir,—l deern it my duty to apprise you of the calamlyuluet
has bef,llen the oldest settlement, and perh .ps the beef
harbour in New Zealand. • 'I he aborigines about the nay
bee
Islands have latterly been getting discontented, in consequevbee
of the falling off in trade, and considerable decrease In ,t
number of ships visiting that port—a falling off which the
cannot account for, except that it be caused through the inf,
ference of Government. This notion having got possession
their minds, they have declared war against the British 11!fti',
and a chief of the name of Heki, a ringleader, prior to the I! ;
instant, had twice succeeded in cutting down the flagstaff, whic,
was a third time ordered to be erected again by the flagstaff,"
ment, and 50 soldiers, accompanied by her Majesty's tipf-l' , b‘,
of I 8 guns, sent to protect it ; these forces were assisteaiil
the inhabitants, enrolled as special constables. The town
f
attacked by the natives at daylight of the rnorniugth:t
the 11th instant, and I am sorry to inform Y" tion
the natives succeeded in driving the whole European populs oti
from the settlement, and compelling them to take refuebut
board the ships in the harbour, making their escape with
little more than what they had on their backs. The .reed
now entirely in the hands of the natives, was Pley*sa
of everything, and property amounting to 30,0001. has tot
into the hands of the savages. The loss of life on the par
the Europeans was not great—ten in number killed, 'of
fifteen wounded. Amongst the latter is Captain Robertson,,„
her Majesty's ship Hazard, who is dangerously wounded, 1)0_7
four musket-balls in' his legs and arm. This gallant 00'0;
with about thirty men, most nobly, and with the 010,,t,,f,1,fe ell
plary courage, resisted the combined attack of about twus,.4
armed savages, and had actually repulsed and beaten theta I"'isi
when he got severely wounded and fell. The fate of thebt
was just about this time dec;ded against the Europeans] ;Ad
body of natives, with Heki at their head, having surprisen
taken a musket-proof blockhouse, which stood close birr-og
flagstaff. The number of natives killed and wounded 4101,0
the engagement has not been ascertained, but there root
been a considerable number of both. ; dio•
The Governor (Captain Fitzroy), anticipating natives'
turbances, wrote to Sydney for troops about two muntuj: -2,91
but, unfortunately, they did not arrive here until we,hese
instant, by her Majesty's ship North Star. At present wept
is not a sufficient force in the colony to retake the settle°ol
at the Bay, but I believe it is the intention of the Governolbso
to blockade the port, so that, if this is the case, the many swill
ships who were in the habit of visiting the Bay of Islands
now in all probability visit this port. ills'
It is impossible for any one to say where or when thesebees
turbances will end; that the New Zealanders have sat
greatly under-rated is now apparent, The home GovetOrto
will now be undeceived that the peaceable possession °wt.
colony could be maintained by about 100 soldiers ag_ttian
native population of 120 r
,000. To maintain our '—ospi
even in the towns, not one less than a thousand regular trot)
can do so, and unless this force is sent the colony is
living in.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
