Downing Street,
26th January, 1864.

Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your Despatch, No. 150, of
the 7th of November, transmitting copy of
a Resolution* (printed below), adopted by
the House of Representatives, accepting the
responsibility for the management of Native
Affairs.

I observe with great pleasure the spirit in
which the House of Representatives has
accepted this trust, and I hope that the
simple and vigorous words with which their
Resolution closes may live in the recollection
of the New Zealand Colonists, and guide
their Native policy so long as the Maories
continue a separate race.

I have, &c.,
NEWCASTLE.

Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.B.,

*Extract from the Journals of the House of
Representatives.
Friday, the 6th day of November, 1863.

Resolved, That this House, having had
under its consideration the Despatch of Her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for
the Colonies, dated the 26th February, 1863,
conveying the fixed determination of Her
Majesty's Imperial Government to revoke
the arrangement of 1856, and for the future
to require the Colonists to undertake the
responsibility of the management of Native
Affairs, recognises with the deepest gratitude
the great interest which Her Most Gracious
Majesty has always taken in the welfare of
all Races of her Colonial subjects, and the
thoroughly efficient aid which Her Majesty's
Imperial Government is now affording for the
suppression of the Rebellion unhappily ex-
isting, and the establishment of law and
order in the Colony, And relying on the
cordial co-operation of the Imperial Govern-
ment for the future, cheerfully accepts the
responsibility thus placed upon the Colonists,
and at the same time records its firm deter-
mination to use its best endeavours to secure
a sound and lasting peace; to do justice im-
partially to both races of Her Majesty's
subjects; and to promote the civilization and
welfare of all classes of the inhabitants of
these Islands.

(True Extract.)
D. MONRO,
Speaker.
