HIS MAORI MAJESTY,
Wellington, July 11. The following telegram has been received by Government from Major Mair, Government Agent at Alexandra: —“ “ King Tawhaio, Wahanui, Manuhiri, and a number of other chiefs, came in at 3 o’clock. Tawhaio ordered eighty guns to be laid down before him, and Wahanui said that this was an offering in the name of peace. I responded that on behalf of Government I accepted the guns in the same spirit, and all people would now be satisfied of the genuiness of Tawhaio’s declaration that there would not be any more trouble.”
