by various persons to the rebels were found,
and were brought to the Governor, who was
informed that some of them were of a treason-
ble nature. The Governor being, however,
aware that many persons formerly in corres-
pondence with the rebels, are now firmly at-
ttached to the Government, and regret the course
they formerly pursned, has caused all these
letters to be burnt without being read by him,
and without any copies of them having been
taken, or any translation of them.
Writers of them need, therefore, entertain no
apprehension whatever of any evil consequences
resulting to them from having written these
letters, or even of any prejudice against them
existing in the mind of the Governor on this
account, as he does not know the names of the
Writers of any of these letters.

By Command,

11o nga ra o tenei marame, he malha nga
pukapuka i kitea; i tuhituhia mai ki te hunga
tutu e te tangata,

I mauria mai aua pukapuka ki a te Kawana;
i meinga hoki, he kino pu nga kupu; roto i
etahi: otira, e matau ana a te Kawana, he toko-
maha nga kai-tuhituhi ki te hunga tutu i mua,
e piri ana i naianei ki a ia; a, e koingo ana ki
o ratou tikanga he.. No konei i meinga, kia
kane aua pukapuka o korerotia; kia kaua ano
tuhituhia; otira, kia tahuna
katoatia ki te ahi.

Na ! kaua nga kai-tuhituhi o aua pukapuka
e mataku, ki te paanga o tetahi he ki runga ki a
ratou, mo te tuhituhinga o aua pukapuka; kaua
ano hoki ratou e mea, tenei te mauahara nei a
Te Kawana ki a ratou; kihai raia i rapu ki nga
ingoa o te hunga, na ratou i tuhituhi.

He mea ki,
ANDREW SINCLAIR,
Te tino Kai-Tuhituhi o te Koroni,

Whare tuhituhi
o te tino Kai-tuhituhi o te Koroni,
Akarana, 23 Hanvero, 1846.

A oti te mea e Te Kawana, kia rongo ai
te te whanau, me nga hoa a "Kihi," te
tangata maori i tu; a, i riro herehere mai i te
tacatanga o te Pa, ki te Ruapekapeka, i te 11 o
tenei marama-

Te mea i purutia ai taua tangata i tenei wahi,
kia rongoatia tona mate e te Rata, a, ka ora ia,
whanaunga.

He mea ki,
ANDREW SINCLAIR,
Te tino Kai-Tuhituhi o te Koroni,

C. FULTON, Government Printer, Auckland,
