Original Correspondence.

To the Editor of the Auckland Chronicle. Sir:—When I for a moment reflect upon the sudden change of affairs ihat lias been affected in this Colony, and (he happy teirnin-ition of a heartless arid reckless administration, and ilia! we are so foit'inaie in having a ruler appointed, end one too, who has by hi.s former benevolent; and patriotic spirit, acquired that eulogy be me'its and that implicit confidence that is resposed in him by the Home Government it must be a source uf gratification to the deserving portion of cur colonists, for one so deserving as Captain Fitzroy' to assume the reins of government. When I say the deserving portion of our colonists, Mr. Editor I mean such as «il< not find fault without occasion for the • MAIITIS''■!" portion of our colonists are always '' CKOSS!" and guilty of the most absurd calumny. Upon this subject, Mr, Editor, I wish to make a few remarks.—lt is utterly impossible for ihe Governor of Zew Zealand, while under it* present inauspicious circumstance*, (after having been reduced, through a misguided administration, to the lowest ebb), it is impossible (or him to give general satisfaction; however judicious and equitable may be his administration, —if he possesses every requisite qualification,—every virtue and the most refined sentiments, both moral and that are calculated to adorn the character of a Patriot—and let him exercise the same fundamental powers here, that has characterised bim in his public career hcietoore, he will fall short of giving that satisfaction, or relief, that was anticipated by some classes, who have secured a store of disappointment, by expecting too great a blessing when be came. They do not even consider that his means are limited, and are not sensible of the administration of equitable justice. Even his first steps have been murmured at by some individuals under, the assumed appellation of representae lives of ihe people of Auckland and its vicinity; and 1 do not' hesitate to s>y that the same individuals do not possess any refined manners or feelings.—either soo'il or political, or they would not. have disgraced thcmsslvt-s by such under-hand transactions as they were gu.il ti of. The leader of this party is indebted to the deluded and ignorant class of Auckland, for his political existence, and his odious oondut will meet with the reward it justly merits. DisspijoirHment, has placed him in n proper sphere Hss i'Xcellency has, by such trams actions, bt-en thoroughly convinced of his viiulent disposition. 1 decline saying any more on this »uhj.ct at present. His Excellerjcy has many obstacles to contend with at present, but it is hoped that he remove every difficulty, and es'abhsh a firmer basivind one upon which we can deprnd. How important is his situation—and bow important a. du-ty in devolved upon bim to perform—such »s rarely occurs —yet his fostering care will conti lhnte towards the relief of our impo vera Mied catting : and it is hoped that at the coiismn* roation of his political career, he will meiit the applause of every candid individual. I remain, Mi. Editor, jout Obedient Servant, Janutry 8, if 44. PUBLICUS.
