HAWKE'S BAY.
Our files from this province are to Nov. 2. native allies. The Herald of Oct. 31 says :— By the arrival of the St Ellda .we. learn' 'that the Ngatiporou natives responded willingly to the call made upon them for their services in assisting to repress the present disturbance, and that, to the number of 157, they had reached Wairoa. Ihaka's men, to the number of 200, were also there ; and, together with Ahuriri and other friendlies, the total of our allies was about 550 — all ready to march in quest of the enemy, and indeed, rather eager than otherwise for the fray. Hotene and the other chiefs are said to have offered, if allowed to do it of themselves and in their own way, to quell the present disturbance right off, and to maintain for the future the peace of the district. The probability is that they would be permitted to do so, and that an expedition with that view started last Wednesday. Our information is at present def ctive, but such we gather to be the state of affairs. ;
