THE NATIVE CRISIS.
? The Government have received a telegram to the effect that the Proclamation was delivered into Te Whiti'a own hands on Saturday afternoon by Mr. Butler, Private Secretary to the Nativo Minister. About 150 Maoris were present, including Tohii and other well-known natives. Te Whiti direoted ono of thorn to read it aloud, and listened attentively till the middle of tho last paragraph was reaohod — that part in which all natives are warned to leave To Whiti if he refuses to submit. When thiß point was arrived at, Te Whiti ordered tho r< ader to stop, sating, "That is enough; read no more." In reply to a question put by Mr. Butler, Te Whiti said he had no answer or message to send ; he had nothing more to say than he had always said. Ho aho drew tho attention of Mr. Carrington. who was present, to tho time whioh was allowed. Ho said he knew of the proclamation beforehand, as come Fnropean (an " ofßoer" To Whiti called him) had elept at Parihaka the night boforo, and had told them all about it. It was remarked that Te Whiti looked very anxious and careworn.
