THE GOVERNOR’S RECALL.

The following despatch has been received by his Excellency Sir George Grey : Downing-street, 18th June, 1867. Sir, —I have the honour to acls.nowledge the receipt of your despatches of the numbers and dates noted in the margin, containing certain statements and explanations upon matters alluded to in my predecessor’s despatch No. 4.3, of the Ist December last. _As all her Majesty’s regular forces in New Zealand, with the exception of one regiment, will in pursuance of instructions from the Secretary of State for War, have probably left the colony before you receive ibft Je-Sf atch, audit is very possible that General Sir T. Chute may also have left, 1 deem it unnecessary to renew the correspondence with regard to the control of the troops in question. The regiment which will be left in the colony will, as you were informed by my predecessor, remain, while in the colour, under the control and direction of the Queen’s representative. With regard to the ultimate disposal ol this regiment, I await the arrival of the next mail, in the expectation of receiving by that opportunity the expression of your views on the subject of my predecessor’s despatches referring to military operations in New Zealand, which your despatch o' the 4th of April No. SO promises. I shall then also be able to inform you of the appoint)-'ut of your successor in the Governme... of New Zealand, and of the time at which he may be expected to arrive in the colony. I have, EtrmtIXGHAM AND CIIAXDOS. Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.B.
