BAY OF ISLANDS.
From the seat of war there has only ar-s-ived the Government brig, Victoria ; but all hostilities have for a time ceased The 99th Regiment are very sickly, and are coming to Auckland, to be replaced by the remainder of the 58th Regiment from this place : further reinforcements will soon arrive, but nothing offensive against Heke will be undertaken, before the spring advances. The continuance of the strict blockade at the Bay, we understand, has been strongly urged on the Government, by the natives acting in con cert with us; but we well know such recommendations have their origin neither in Maori affection nor in pure disinterested patriotism. Monopoly of- trade, under cover of a blockade, is exceedingly profitable.
