A]»ril 2S. i. ha\e been busy all dav the and mortars into position. '1 he rebels jjave us an oeeasiounl slutt Irom the pah. bur we don't- open fire on them till to-nioiTOw morninc, and if they will onlv be so as not to run away before then (whirii is the general thr\ will do), they wil have it hot and strong. 'I he ordnauei' that will open lire in the morning consists of 1 1 lu-pounder Ann.-troi'ir ,mm, manned bv the royal navy, 2 10-ponnder Arm.-trone cuns; and they say thai two more IU-p<mnders are lo he landed to-nij;ht. r l'he manned by the artillery wilt consist of 2 2-1-pound howitzers. 2 8-inch mortars, 0-poundcr Armstrong ynns. -I r>.»-inch morlais, ami 2 •l;,-inch mortars. Fveryone is anxious for the morning to see whether the rebels intend making a stand or not. '1 wo men of the (iSih regiment were wounded \cstcrdity: thr.-e are the only casualties that have occurred up to the present time-- <*. p.m. The whole of the navy ami nmrino are ashore under the command of the commodore. Our whole force in front of the rebel position docs not come up io 1000, although very near that number. The 'Star id the South' arrived this morning with transport bullocks and dravs : they just arrived in the nick of time, as quantities of shell and ammunition wore beinir convened to the advanced camp in wheel-barrows or any other Conveyance that could be found. Tin* distance from the landing place to the advanced eump is about 4 miles, and the distance from the camp to the rebels' position is about 7"0 yards. The whole of the for»v in the advance have eot their tents pitched ; although the greater part of the force are an out-lying picijuct round the rebels' position, they have a clear road" to escape if they like to do so, as the nature of the ground prevents the General from getting between their works and the ranges. From the vast preparations they have seen going forward all day, and which will be continued all night, it w not at all consistent with Maori taeLie« that they should remain n\ their earth vvorica to he nholled by about 550 piiX'W of orrinanro. They enn *ce everything Mint arrive* or ler.vcrt our cmnp, mid ere well aware a« wo An* ourselves of our ntrength in men and guna, and if they are to be found to-morrow morning occupying this earth work, 1 wil! certainly give the Kast Coast natives less credit for possessing common scn.-e than our friends in Wailcnto.

We have found about forty Maori bodies in all, and no doubt many are buried about tlie pah. as the place is fearfully knocked about I\V the shell : there must be numbers of them buried, as some of the pits where they were buried in wenblown in by shell falling inside and then bursting. Some of the deatl Maoris are fearfully mutilated with the shell; of one man, all thai could he loiiml was his head, neck, and out: shoulder attached, the remaining part of the hotly could not lie lound. .Many of our poor fcliows are bmlly wounded, and will not. recover. Two bodies T saw had been tomahawked, the gunner of the 'Miranda* was one of them I he poor fellow's head was nearly oil. I saw several of our rilles lying about, belonging to the nieii who hatl been killed, w hii-h shows that the rebels had enough to tlo to mind their own personal sal'etv. .More reinforcements are eoining down here. This position is ipiilc as sti-img as Kangirii'i was. and constructed more to the advantage ol the Maoris than lumgiriri. as around the latter tli-re was a ditch which all'orded cover to the men when they got up to the work, here they had a pallisnding and no tlileb. the consequence was that we had either to ;'.am entire possession of Ihe pla-'c or iea\e it Ihe rebels are eerlainiy improving in the construction ot their earl liwork's, and lam ineiiiitd to think licit tie l sap wiii Keeonie the rule of (leneral Cameron s Ittlnre opeialions against tl;o rebels.
