NEW PLYMOUTH.
September 26. Several settlers who were living near Pungarehu, on the newly acquired land, are coming into town. The Native Minister, Colonel Roberts, and Mr Parris, with a guard of eight men, went yesterday morning to inspect the fence, and ascertain the present disposition of the natives and the numbers who may be expected to resist the constabulary. If the attitude of the natives is not so determined as reported, the Native Minister intends that the Constabulary shall remove the fence tbis morning. A force went out, but no news has reached here as to what has been done. On the way to Pungarehu the Native Minister saw Mr Messenger (a good Maori scholar, and who was at Paribaka), and asked him respecting the speech published in the papers by the Association. Mr Messenger said it was a fair translation, and in no way exaggerated.
