Pipiriki. — There are about 60 of the Native Coutingeufcat this outpost. Pehi has offered to surrender, aud we are told that full •400 of the Contingent aud Kupapas have determined upon proceeding, iu a few days, to the Mangaihou pa, Pehi's stronghold, to demand his unconditional surrender. These men are acting under no orders, it will be an ■expedition, and a battle if needs be, strictly on their owu account. They have deterrniaed. that Pehi shall not retain so -formidable a position as the Mangaihou pa iu their neighborhood, and that lie must either surrender unconditionally or fight it out.
