HIS EXCELLENCY the Governor-in-Chief has directed that the following Extracts from two letters be published for general information.

By His Excellency’s command,

C. A. Dillon,
Native Secretary.

Extract from a Letter dated Wangaroa, June 1848, (which appeared in the Southern Cross of July 15th, 1848.)

“The Natives here, at least URuRoa’s party, are a good deal perplexed at the statement made in the New Zealander, that the Governor did not go inland to see Heke.

All regard the statement as a falsehood. A messenger has been sent inland to consult with Heke whether the natives of Wangaroa had better sow wheat this season, or not, concluding, from the statements made in the papers, and other statements verbally made, relative to the settlement of some of the New Zealand Fencibles in these parts, that they may have to abandon Wangaroa, and go inland to join Heke, agreeable to the plan which has for some time been formed. How much more conducive to the good of all would it be for those in authority to adhere strictly to truth, and nothing but the truth. The system of falsehood which has been of late practised, will in all probability be ruinous to all.”

Extract from a letter of the Native Chief URuRoa, to the Governor-in-Chief, dated Wangaroa, 6th October, 1848, in which was enclosed part of the newspaper, containing the above extract.

He kupu hou tenei naku kia koe, ka, pouri taku ngakau mo nga korero teka, i roto i tenei nupepa, na-wai ranei tenei korero teka, e tupato ana ahau, e mea ana ahau, na te Hapa tena korero teka, mau e tuhi tuhi mai kia kite au i to tikanga mo tena pukapuka, wakahokia mai kia au.

“Here is a word on a new subject. I am vexed with the falsehoods which are printed in this newspaper. Who could have told such a lie. I suspect, I think, that this false speech is from Hapa:—write to me—your views on that letter. Let it be sent back to me.”

From URuRoa Rewa Rewa,
“Wangaroa.”
