date hereof, and until further notice, that
portion of the Province of Otago, in the
Colony of New Zealand, hereinafter described,
shall be deemed to be an Infected District
within the meaning and for the purposes of
the "Diseased Cattle Act, 1861," (that is to
say, all that area bounded towards the
North by Deep Stream to Clutha River;
thence by Allen's Creek to its source;

Station O Waikouaiti Survey District;

Trigonometrical Station L in the said
Waikouaiti Survey District; thence by a

Waipori River, to Lammerlaw Creek;
thence by Lammerlaw Creek to its source;
and thence by a line due North to the Deep
Stream, the starting point). And, by virtue
of the powers in me vested in this behalf, I
do further proclaim and declare that the
Regulations made, published, and proclaimed
by me in a Proclamation dated the twenty-
sixth day of February last, for the destruc-
tion of Cattle diseased with Pleuro-
pneumonia in the Infected Districts men-
tioned in the said Proclamation, and for
prohibiting the removal of Cattle therefrom,
and for preventing the further spread of the
said disease, shall be in full force and effect
in the District hereinbefore proclaimed to
be an Infected District; and the said
Regulations, as proclaimed and published
as aforesaid, I do hereby make, publish, and
proclaim to be Regulations for the destruc-
tion of Cattle diseased with Pleuro-
pneumonia within the District hereinbefore
proclaimed to be an Infected District, and
and for prohibiting the removal and trans-
portation of Cattle out of the said last
mentioned District, and for preventing the
further spread of the said disease.

THE following Despatch from Her Majes-
ty's Principal Secretary of State for the
Colonies is published for general information.
WILLIAM FOX.

Downing Street,
21st February, 1864.

Sir,—I have received the series of Despatches
noted in the margin, * describing the feelings
of the Natives in various parts of New Zea-
land, and the operations of the war up to the
occupation of the residence of the Maori
King.

I need not tell you that I have read these
papers with the most lively interest.

The sacrifice of valuable lives, by which
the recent successes have been obtained over
an active and resolute enemy, is very lamen-
table. But it has not been fruitless.

I collect that the most powerful and intel-
ligent, though by no means the most culpa-
ble of the tribes which have taken arms
against us have been entirely defeated and
broken, and that those who have as yet given
no indication of submission are little able to
offer a protracted resistance to Her Majesty's
Forces. I hope therefore that the difficulties
before you, though doubtless formidable, will
be of a peaceful kind.

It gives me great pleasure to observe that
these advantages are due to a variety of
causes—of which all are alike gratifying—
the cordial co-operation of the civil, military,
and naval authorities, the wise forethought of
yourself and General Cameron in preparing
for the ascent of the Waikato River, the
hearty assistance of the settlers, the sound-
ness of your plan of campaign, the military
skill and capacity for command of General
Cameron, the universal confidence which he
seems to have inspired, and the unvarying
gallantry and steadiness of Her Majesty's
soldiers and sailors of all ranks.

I sincerely congratulate you, them, and the
Colony on the results which have been accom-
plished.

I have, &c.,
NEWCASTLE.

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