NATIVE AFFAIRS.
[from our own correspondent.] WELLINGTON, September 6. In reference to some rather sensational accounts which have been published relative to Te Whiti’s attitude and tho fencing operations of the West Coast Natives, tho Government have received telegrams assuring them that these reports are greatly exaggerated, and that so far the Native obstruction has been of the most moderate and good humored kind. The Government, however, have issued orders for the fencing to be removed in most of the places where it has first been erected, and in regard to others it is fully expected that arrangements now in progress will give satisfaction to a large majority of the Natives, and will probably bring about the entire restoration of a good understanding at an early period. All practicable efforts will be made to meet tho reasonable desires of the Natives, but no vexatious or unreasonable interference with the settlement of the land now being placed in the market iwill be tolerated for a moment.
