MEMORANDA RELATIVE TO MILITARY DEFENCE.
[NO. 7.—MBMOEA2TDTJM BY MrKISTBES.] In reference to certain statements made by Lieut.General Sir Duncan A. Cameron, which have been communicated by the Governor to his Responsible Advisers, Ministers express their regret that the Lieut.-General should have thought fit to attribute base and unworthy motives, and a culpable disregard for the lives of British officers and men, to the Ministry of New Zealand, and by implication, to her Majesty's Representative in the colony. They believe that, having regard to the character of the colony (which it is their duty to uphold), and to their own, which, as public men, is the property of the colony, it is impossible longer to accept assistance so unwillingly rendered. Nor indeed can it be hoped that the zeal and energy (which alone can secure success or lead to any useful result in operations in the field) will be displayed by any officer, however distinguißhed, in support of a cause which is branded by him with such severe reprobation. April Bth, 1865; Eeed. A. Wbtj>. Note.—This Memorandum is in continuation of papers already published (A. —No. 1,1865.)
