OPUNAKE.
Saturday. All fear of an outbreak is now at an end. Although the natives are in a keen state of excitement owin^ to their dread of being deprived of all the confiscated land, they are still very outspoken and decided in asserting that they will insist upon the full performance of the promises made to them on several occasions by the late Sir Donald McLean. The exact nature of these promises, the fulfilment of,
which the natives stickle for so much, are what Mr James Mackay went to New Plymouth to make inquiries about, and ascertain all particulars if possible. It is upon this the whole question will turn, and upon which any arrangement made with the natives will depend. Nothing further can be done until the exact nature of Sir Donald McLean's prorniges are ascertained and made known to the natives.
