Extract from a Letter dated 6th November, 1860, from 3fr t Part it to the Native Secretary. We left town this morning, A o'clock, COO strong, under the command of the Major-General, for the purpose of taking possession of Mahoetahi and on our arrival we found it occupied by the rebels. On approaching the pa they opened fire uprn U 3, which was warmly returned, and the seaward end of the pa soon taken. They *t last went out of the pa into the swamp the inland, side of the pa, and there remained until Colonel Mould arrived with his party from Waitara, when they were betwixt tw» firea, which crow-firing wounded some of our own men ; after they had lost about 12 men they ran away under very heavy fire along the road leading to Huirangi and before they got to Waiongona ford, 10 or 12 more fe'l, and among them Wetini Paiporutu. We followed them to Huirangi, and found 4 on the road nearly dead, and there is no doubt a great many have got away badly wounded. I recommended that the 3 Chiefs mentioned at the head of the list should be brought to town and bulled, •which the General sactioned. We have brought in 4 prisoners badly wounded, 1 wounded in the leg, and 1 not wounded, from whom I got a list of the names enclosed. I believe there are as many more, killed and wounded not yet heard of, Weloßt 4 killed :— 2 Militiamen (Eev. Mr. Brown's son and William Edgecombe's son, and 2 soldiers ; 12 wounded — 1 only badly — from the cross-firing. Wm. King's people were not present.
