Downing-street, 26th December, 1863.
SIR, —I have to acknowledge the receipt of
the despatches of the numbers and dates
noted in the margin* forwarding copies of
despatches addressed to you by Lieut.-
Genral Cameron, reporting several encoun-
tesr that had taken place between the forces
under his command and the natives.

I have much pleasure in conveying to you
an expression of my satisfaction of the uni-
form good conduct of Her Majesty's troops
in this harassing description of warfare; and
also at the steadiness and efficiency shewn
by the Militia and Volunteers under Major
Lyon. And I cannot omit to notice espe-
cially the cool intelligence and energy dis-
played by Color-Sergeant MacKenna, upon
whom the command of a detachment devolved
after Capt. Swift had been killed and Lieut.
Butler severely wounded.

I have, &c.,
NEWCASTLE.
