No. 11. JOHN WHITE TO THE HON. THE NATIVE MINISTEE. Wanganui, February 4, 1865. Dear Me. Manteu, — I take advantage of the kind intimation of Major Eookes to forward by Ids special messen ger the enclosed report from Mr. Booth—minuted —and the translations of Maori letters showing the state of aft'airs up river. I have sent copies of all these documents to the General. No news from the camp since my last. I have, &C., John "White. Enclosure 1 to No. 11. JAS. BOOTH TO THE HON. THE NATIVE MINISTEE. Banana, February 2, 1865. I have the honor to inform you that at this time (one o'clock, p.m.) the rebel Natives have not made an attack upon Hiruharama. They got ready to make an attack yesterday morning but Pehi stopped them because he had had an unfavorable dream. The rebels at Opoutahi now muster 200 men from Pipiriki and neighbourhood from Mon-ganui-o-te-ko and the Upper Wanganui, including part of Topini tc Mamaka's tribe, and some ci<Tht or ten from Taupo. A party from the Upper AVaitara are expected to arrive at Ohoutahi to^dav. We have now at Hiruharawa 150 men, and others are here (Eanana) ready to move forward when wanted. lam afraid this will not pass over without a brush ; our natives are well able to defend themselves, the only drawback is that we have no chief who is able to take the lead of the whole force. The Koman Catholic section are guided entirely by their Priest, the other party will, I think, range themselves under Haimona who is now at Hiruharama, We have a messenger passing to and from the rebel pa. When news of the murder of Eio same, I thought it my duty to advise that he should cease his visits. Since that time Pehi,
