PAORA TUHAERE.
Our old friend Paora Tuhaere arrived on the sth instant, in his schooner the 'Victorta,' having made the passage from Rarotonga in fourteen days. Kainuku Tamako, the Ariki of Rarotonga, is a passenger by the 'Victoriaand it is expected that he will make arrangements for the continuation of a brisk trade between the Maoris and his own people. We wish Kainuku and Paora success.
Rarotonga, April i3th, 1865. Fathers and Friends,—Salutations to all of you. My love for you all is very great—for those who are ill and those who are well. Friends and Fathers, —The sentiments of the chiefs of this Island are most excellent. They are most friendly to me and to youall; and their ancestor and ours was one. They are urging me to remain at Rarotonga to be their chief, bat I have not yet consented to their request. When Kainuku and I come to Auckland, then we shall be able to decide, after the matter is discussed. This is a good country: there is little work done here. I have travelled over the whole place, and have seen that it is good. Ihave cultivated the soil. It is a good place for the orphan, for the labour of the soil is light. Sufficient of this. I have heard from the newspapers which have come to this place from Auckland, that there is war in New Zealand—that the Pakeha were attacked. From Paora Tuhaere.
