few yards, and turned that flank with comparative ease.
I would wish to bring to the Lieut. General's
notice the untiring energy of Mr. Parris, Assistant
Native Secretary, who at all times has given me his
valuable assistance in all the operations I have un-
dertaken in this country, and to whom I consider
myself mainly indebted for the success of the last
two days. His knowledge of the native character,
his practical experience in all matters connected with
native customs, and the great respect with which he
is treated by the friendly natives of all ages and sexes,
enables him to obtain reliable information, on which
I feel I can act without hesitation; and I trust the
Lieut. General will do me the favour to bring Mr.
Parris' name prominently to the notice of His
Excellency the Governor.

I have also to return my thanks to Lieut.-Colonel
Lepper, (late 14th Regt.) who only arrived here on
the 3rd instant, to take the command of the Militia
and Volunteers in this Province, and who volunteered
his services, and accompanied me throughout, render-
ing me considerable assistance.

I also desire to mark my sense of the services
rendered on these occasions by the friendly natives,
who flocked from all sides to offer their services, and
who to the number of nearly 100, under their several
chiefs, were most useful in guiding the troops and
assisting in the destruction of the rebel positions.

I beg to transmit a return of wounded, who, I am
happy to say, are progressing favourably.

I have, &c.,
H. J. WARRE, Colonel,
Commanding Troops in Taranaki.
The Deputy Quartermaster-General,
Head Quarters, Auckland.
