It also appears from the memorandum of Ministers that on receiving my letter of the 3rd May, Sir George Grey thought proper to communicate to them my private letter to him of the 28th January, proving that he has done and continues to do all in his power to create an ill feeling against me in the Colony.

Enclosure 5 in No. 29. SIR D. CAMERON TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR. No. 120. Head Quarters, Auckland, May 15, 1865. My Lord, — The enclosed memorandum addressed by the Colonial Ministers to His Excellency the Governor of New Zealand having appeared this morning in a local Newspaper, I have thought it right to inform your Lordship, and Her Majesty's Government of the circumstance, with as little delay as possible, and I have therefore despatched the steamer " Alexandra " with this letter to Melbourne, in the hope that she will be in time to overtake the mail for England. This memorandum has been written by Ministers, in consequence of the Governor having communicated to them the contents of my private letters to him. I have already drawn your Lordship's attention to this conduct on the part of the Governor which I can only attribute to a desire to prejudice the Government and inhabitants of this Colony against me, regardless of the injury which the public service must sustain thereby. I have informed His Excellency of my intention to send the " Alexandra " to Melbourne. I have, &c, D. A. Cameeo>", The Eight Honorable, Lieutenant General. The Secretary of State for War.
