THE following Despatches from H. M.

WILLIAM FOX.

Downing-street,
22nd May, 1864.
SIR, I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your despatches, Nos. 27, 28, and
33 of the 15th and 23rd of February, trans-
mitting despatches from Lieutenant-General
Sir Duncan Cameron, and a letter from Mr.
Mainwairing reporting the details of an
action with the natives which took place on
the Mangapiko River on the 11th of Feb-
ruary.

I have received with much satisfaction
these accounts of the gallantry displayed by
the officers and men of both the regular and
Colonial forces who were engaged on this
occasion.

I have, &c.,
EDWARD CARDWELL.
Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.B.
&c., &c., &c.

Downing-street,
23rd May, 1864.
SIR, I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your Despatch, No. 34, of the
27th of February, enclosing a copy of a
report from Lieutenant-General Sir Duncan
Cameron of the operations of the force under
his command upon the 21st and 22nd of
February, which resulted in the complete
rout of the Rebel Natives, and the occupa-
tion of an important position. I am fully
sensible of the excellence of the arrange-
ments which he made, and also of the
admirable conduct of the officers and men
under his command.

It affords me also much pleasure to notice
the testimony which General Cameron has
borne to the discipline and efficiency of the
Colonial Defence Force, which he states is
chiefly due to the example and exertions of
Lieutenant-Colonel Nixon, who has the
command of the Force; and I trust that by
your next Despatches you will have been
able to inform me that this gallant officer
had recovered from his wounds.

I have also to request that you will con-
vey to the Bishop of New Zealand an ex-
pression of my sincerest thanks for the
invaluable services which, at a great personal
risk and inconvenience, he had rendered to
General Cameron and the troops under his
command.

I have, &c.
EDWARD CARDWELL.
Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.B.
&c., &c., &c.
