MANGONUI.
Mangonui is the son of a warrior Chiefmin named Rewa of the Ngaitawake tribe, who was one of the Generals under the celebrated Hongi Hika who ravaged the Noihern portion of New Zealand with such unabated fury, destroying the population of whole districts, and leaving nought but the bleached bones of thousands to tell the tale of his dread visits. Mangonui is aXhief of great promise and is well disposed towards the Europeans. He aided our troops in the war with Heke, and showed himself brave and energetic in the field of battle. His residence is at the Bay of Islands, and the name of his family tribe is the Ngatikeba.
