[By Inte»"provincial Telegraph.] WellilNGton, November 23. On the 14th the " Southern Cross " received the following telegram from Auckland, dated Cambridge, Waikato: —" Matutaera and his principal advisers have resolved to come in. The country is at once to be opened." Nobody understood it, but on the 16th the " Cross " received an explanation. It appears that some weeks ago the Governor sent letters to the Waikato Magistrate, Seraneke, for delivery to Matutaera and others. i iviiing them to make peace and visit Prince Alfred. When tlie letters were delivered a council was called, and a verbal reply sent that numerous pressing matters relative to land sales, leases, gold prospecting, &c, were occupying their attention, but that they would consider tlie Governor's letter shortly. The telegram contains the result of their consideration, and excites great hopes.
