THE PEACE POLICY OF TUB GOVERNMENT.
The Evening Star (London paper), referring to late events in New Zealand says:—“ The only gleam, of light which struggles through the darkness is the rumoured opposition of Governor Grey to the policy of his Ministers. They are anxious for the vigorous prosecution of the war. Hois said to have “ opposed and thwarted” their eiforts. This simp'y means that he is anxious to bring this lamentable business to a speedy, and, if possible, an honorable termination. As the Viceroy of the Queen, and the Governor who above all his contemporaries has distinguished himself by his just treatment of native tribes, he is anxipus to save a noble race from extermination. We trust that he will not be deterred by clamor or by calumny from giving effect to his own righteous instincts. If, by acting in a just spirit, and by promising the natives in return for their submission that they shall not be made the victims of a wholes I** ‘■ysteru of confiscation, he can induce them to lay d ivu their arms, he may, it is true, excite the indignation >d Auckland, but he will earn the gratitude of the British nation.”
