ALEXANDRA, Mat 2. The Government party are erpected here at noon. The latest device of the enemy is stated to be that last night Rewi sent a message to Sir George Grey not to come beyond Alexandra.

The Government party are not likely to proceed up the river till to-morrow. A rumor is current here, apparently well founded, that Te Ngakau yesterday Bent a letter telling Ministers hot to come beyond Alex? andra. Te Wheoro "has gone up to see Tawhiao and ask whether Ngakau's letter is written with his approval. It is also re* ported that Major Roberts has another letter to the same effect from Te Ngakau to hand Sir George Grey on his arrival, but this requires confirmation.
