NOTICE.

Friends, — You have doubtless heard that Hone Heki ha 9 agaiu transgressed the law, ; again defied the authority of the Governor, and that an engagement has taken place* at Kororareka, in which many Natives and some Euro- . peans have bee killed. Now I am desirous to assure all of jou who are peaceably disposed, that no Jxarm will happen to you, or ta your families. The Government will quarrel with none but those who break the peace, but Heki has commenced this evil course, it may be, that still more disastorus consequences will ensue, therefore I allow the Europeans to exercise with arm*, and erect places for the protection of their wives and families ; you must not by this think that we entertain any doubt of your good faith, wttb have always been and lived in friendly intercourse with us. I have already told you that it is not the custom of the English to make the innocent suffer for the guilty, — those only who offend will have to bear the consequences ,of their crime : nevertheless, I thought it right to publish this notice, lest you should imagine, by these preparations, that we meditated an ■ attack uponyouyinstead of thefr benjg merely measures in the event of evs disposed, natives coming to di»turb these Settlements. No, my Friends, continue with us hi peace, give no offence, offer no insult to the Europeans, and no harm will befall you. M. RICHMOND. Superintendent Southern Division. New Zealand. Wellington, 31 st March, 1845.

The native chiefs of^Te Aro pa have addressed a letter to the Rev, S. Ironside, of which the following is a translation •,—, — Sir — Mr. Ironside, This is our koiero to you. We will not follow the bad example of those strangers at the North. The Natives of Port and Waikanae will die together- with the Europeans, if this wickedness should grow and spiead. All vt wish to fight with is siu, that the world may become peaceful and happy, undeF the rnle of the great God of heaven and of Jesus Chri&t. Friend, We love you ministers, and we love the other Europeans, all of them ; thej are our friends and neighbours* We requested the Europeans to come «nd dwell here in Port Nieholson. Friend, Major Richmond, Let your thoughts towards us be good ; do not have an evil heart towards us ; rather rejoice in hope, be patient in tiibulatiou, eontiuue instant in prayer. Let this oar letter be given to the press, and printed in the newspaper, is all oar korero. From HoPKKA r and othert.

Extracts fi'Om a letter from Joseph Thomas, Esq. to Colonel Walefield. i Table Cape, 2d March 1845. Mr. Harrisim wid I send you a copy of our ronte and surrey along the east coast from Port Nicholson to Table Cape. We hare also added a surrey of the harbour and anchorage »t Castle Point, with two sketches of the Castle, as it is called, from the Warreama river, and the other from Wakari of Hauriri Bluff.* In passing up the coast to Hauriri, the most important point* are the Warreama Hirer, Castle Point, Parangahau, and Hauriri. The Warreama might afford communication with the upper part of the Wairarapa, and small craft could enter and load in the river. Castle Point would afford shelter to two or three small craft inside. There is also a good bay and anchorage, with shelter from theNW. round to S. It is al«o a good whaling station. The country around is hilly, and bare of trees, and I doubt there being any communication with the interior ; the pasturage on the hills is good for cattle. The Parangahau is a large river, with a considerable quantity of flat land at its mouth. It communicates with the grassy plains across to the Manawatu ; the mouth of the river if, however, shallow, losing itself among samd-banks. Inside, it is as large a» the Manawatu, though possibly not no deep. The natives tell me it carries navigation some distance up. Should that be the case, it will be of importance, hereafter to the wool people. It empties itself into a sandy bay, where yes- , sels may lie and load. The plain of the Hauriri is formed by the range of hills running to the northward, from the Kidnappers on
