PORT NICHOLSON.
The arrival of the Robert Burns, schooner, on Monday last, has put us in possession of intelligence that painfully confirms the apprehensions we entertained respecting the probable consequences of the contest so precipitately commenced at the principal southern settlement. Another unfortunate settler has fallen a victim to the enraged passions of the expatriated natives. Where will these things end ? How surely has the truth oi our reiterated warnings been demonstrated I We invariably asserted our belief that the natives could not be forcibly expelled from the Hutt without imminent risk to the settlers; and that they could not by any means be prevented from returning by stealth to wreak an indiscri-' minate revenge. The subjoined account will excite the deepest sympathy in the minds of our readers, towards their unfortunate fellowcolonists, environed as they are by dangers of the most appalling description.
