LIKUTEXANT-GEXKRAL CA.MKKOX, C.8., TO GOYER>'OB SIE GEOKGE GHET, K.C.B. Head Quarters, Queen's Eedoubt, October 28th, 1863. Stß, I have the honour to acquaint Your Excellency that on the afternoon of the 23rd instant, I received information from Lieut.-Colonel Chapman, commanding at Drurv, that Lieutenant Lusk, commanding the outposts at Mauku, had reported to him that a large body of the enemy had approached within a mile of Mauku church, and that he had left the stockade with part of his detachment to endeavour to ascertain their strength. Lieutenant-Colonel Chapman stated that he had sent a reinforcement of 80 men, under Captain St. John, "Waikato Militia, to Lieut. Lusk's support. At about 10 o'clock that night, I received further intelligence that Lieut. Lusk had incautiously engaged the enemy with his small force previous to the arrival of Captain St. John's reinforcement, and being greatly out-numbered, and attacked on both flanks, had been compelled to retire with loss. I immediately ordered Lieut.-Colonel Chapman bo despatch a reinforcement of 200 men, 18th and 70th Regiments, under Major Evan, to Mauku, with orders to attack the natives and drive them from the bush, and requested him to call upon Lieut.-Colonel Nixon to co-operate with part of the Colonial Defence Corps from Papakura. I instructed Captain Rutherford, 70th Begiinent, commanding a portion of Lieutenant-Colonel Nixon's column, which was encamped at Selby's, to move as rapidly as possible by Tuakau and Cameron to Pura Pura, with the view of intercepting the enemy, who were likely to attempt to recross the river at that point. Lieutenant-Colonel Nixon and Major Byan arrived at Mauku early on the morning of the 24th, and found that the natives had decamped from the neighbom-hood. Captain Eutherford pushed on to Pura Pura as expeditiously as the difficulty of marching through the bush at night would allow, but was too late to cut off the enemy's retreat. I herewith enclose Lieutenant Lusk's report of the engagement. The force which this officer had at his disposal was too small to attack so large a body of natives, advantageously posted in the bush, with any prospect of success, but the; gallantry which Lieutenant Lusk and the detachment under his command displayed in extricating themselves from a very critical position, is deserving of the greatest praise. The conduct of the officers and men of tiie Mauku Volunteers, and Waikato Militia, on this trying occasion was admirable. i regret to say that two officers, Lieut. Perceval and Lieut. Norman, both of whom greatly distinguished themselves, and six men, were killed, and one man dangerously wounded. I have, &c., D. A. Camkeok, Lieut-General. Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.P».

LIEUTENANT LUSK TO LIEUTENANT-COLONEL CHAPMAN. Mauku Stockade, 24tli October, 1863. Sib,— I have the honor to report that I started yesterday morning, with a force as per margin,* to attack a body of the enemy who were shooting cattle on Mr. Wheeler's farm at the Ti-ti; an advance party of my force, under Lieutenant Perceival, got close up to the enemy's position under cover of the bush: when discovered, they were hotly pressed by the enemy, and retired skirmishing in good order on the main body without loss. I then advanced, having been joined by Lieutenant Norman with eight men. 1 drove the enemy through a strip of fallen timber on to open ground beyond; but seeing that they wheeled round into the standing forest on my left flank, where they were largely reinforced, I deemed it prudent to retire. While re-crossing the fallen timber, the enemy, numbering from two to three hundred, charged us from the bush on the left; and after about ten minutes' very heavy firing at very short range (from ten to twenty yards), where both parties suffered severely, I being outflanked on both sides, retired into the forest on the right. The enemy did not venture to advance on us after we were under cover of the forest. I then re-formed my men, and retired leisurely on the Stockade. Our loss was 1 Lieutenant (Perceval), and 5 men killed; 1 man dangerously wounded; 1 Lieutenant (Norman), and 1 private missing. The enemy's loss I believed to be about 16 killed, and a large number wounded. Sergeant Hill and Private John Wheeler specially distinguished themselves by their determined gallantry under most trying circumstances. I have, &c, D. H. Lusk, Lieutenant Commanding Mauku Volunteers. N. 8.—1 omitted to mention that Mr. Norman on the right, and Mr. Perceval on the centre, displayed great gallantry in endeavouring to stem the rush of the enemy, and fell fighting in front of their men.

LIEUTENANT-GENERAL CAMERON, C.8., TO GOVERNOR SIR GEOROE GRE3T, K.C.B. Head Quarters, Queen's Redoubt, 4th November, 1863. Sib — I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that the day following the arrival here of the " Pioneer" being occupied in clearing her of stores, &c, and in landing two 40-pounder Armstrong guns at Whangamarino, which were placed in position to command the landing-place at Meremere, I proceeded on the 29th ultimo in the " Pioneer" with Commodore Sir "William Wiseman, and was enabled to make a more complete reconnaissance than before of the enemy's works. They occupied them strongly on this occasion, and fired several rounds at the steamer from three guns which they had in position. I found that the difficulty of landing troops rapidly for an attack, and the resistance to be expected from the nature of the defences, had not been over-estimated, which induced me to make a further reconnaissance higher up the river, with the view of selecting some point at which a force could be landed to turn the enemy's position while his attention was occupied in front by the Steamer and Gunboats. I therefore proceeded again on the 31st up the river in the " Pioneer" with Sir William Wiseman as far as Eangiriri, and having observed a point favorable for landing about six miles above Meremere, I arranged with the Commodore to embark the same night the force shown in the margin,t with two 12-pounder Armstrong guns. The <; Pioneer" and " Avon," with the four gunboats in tow, got under weigh at half past two o'clock on the morning of the 31st, and reached the point fixed for the landing about six o'clock. No attempt was made to oppose the troops, who took up a commanding position about four hundred yards from the bank of the river. As I proposed bringing up an

additional force on the following night, I ordered a breastwork to be constructed for the protection of the camp, which I left under the command of Colonel Mould, C.B. During the afternoon of the Ist, whilst the necessary preparations were in progress for the conveyance of the remaining part of the force, the officer in command at Whangamarino reported that the Natives were escaping in canoes up the Whangamarino and Maramarua rivers. I embarked at once in the " Pioneer," with 250 men of the 12th and 14th Begiments from the Koheroa, and on reaching Meremere it was evident the enemy had abandoned his position. A party of 250 seamen, under Commander Mayne, E.N., and the detachments from the Koheroa, under the command of Colonel Austen, 2 B. 14th Begiment. landed on the position, and were ordered to hold the ground during the night, which was occupied the following day by detachments of the 12th, 14th, 18th, and 70th Eegiments, amounting to about 500 men, who are employed in throwing up a redoubt there. The steamer " Pioneer" left this about ten a.m. on the 2nd for the purpose of communicating with the camp at Takupetohetohe, and ascertained that about three o'clock on the morning of the Ist a small body of Natives fired upon the camp, inflicting no loss, and making off as soon as the guns were turned upon them. I am greatly indebted for the success of the operations described above, to the cordial co-operation of Commodore Sir William Wiseman, and to the indefatigable exertions of the officers under his command. I have, &c, D. A. Cameeon, Governor Sir George Grey, K.C.B. Lieut.-General.

river, with the intention of attacking the enemy's entrenched position at Rangiriri, in which operation Commodore Sir William Wiseman, Bart., had arranged to co-operate with the" Pioneer" and " Avon," steamers, and the four gunboats. The troops under my command and the steamers and gunboats arrived near Rangiriri at the same hour —3 p.m. The enemy's position consisted of a main line of entrenchment across the narrow isthmus which divides the Waikato river from Lake Waikare. This line had a double ditch and high parapet, and was strengthened at the centre (its highest point) by a square redoubt of very formidable construction. Behind the left centre of the main line and at right angles to it there was an entrenched line of rifle-pits parallel tp the Waikato river, and obstructing the advance of troops from that direction. On a reconnaisance made on the 18th, I had determined on landing a force in rear of the position simultaneously with attacking it in front, with the view of turning and gaining possession of a ridge f>00 yards behind the main entrenchment, and thus intercepting the retreat of the enemy. With this object, 300 men of the 40th Regiment were embarked in the " Pioneer" and" Avon.' to land, on a preconcerted signal, at a point which I had selected. Unfortunately the strength of the wind and current was such that the'" Pioneer" and" Avon" were unable to reach this point, notwithstanding the) persevering efforts of Sir William Wiseman and the officers and men Tinder his command. The same cause deprived us of the assistance of two of the gunboats. After shelling the position of the enemy for a considerable time from Captain Mercer's two 12-pounder Armstrongs and the Naval 6-pounder, under Lieut. Alexander, U.K., in which the two gunboats joined, and it being now nearly five o'clock, I determined not to wait any longer for the landing of the 40th from the steamers, and gave the word for the assault. This was brilliantly executed by the troops, who had to pass over a distance of 600 yards in the face of a heavy fire, the 05th Regiment leading and escalading the enemy's entrenchment on the left. After passing vhe main line of entrenchment, the troops wheeled to the left towards the enemy's centre, and came under fire of the line of rifle pits facing the Waikato river. This they at once stormed and carried, driving the enemy before them to the centre Redoubt, which they now defended with desperate resolution. While the troops were forcing their way over the parapet of the main line, as already described, I was glad to perceive that the 40th were landing sufficiently near the point I had indicated to enable them to carry and occupy the ridge in rear, and to pour a heavy fire on a body of the enemy, who were driven By them from that part of the position, and fled by the Waikare Swamp. In this part of the attack, they were joined by a portion of the 65th Regiment detached from the main body after the latter had passed the main line of entrenchment. The troops who carried the? main line being still checked by the fire from the centre Redoubt, two separate assaults were made on this work—the first by 36 of the Royal Artillery, armed with revolvers, and led by Captain Mercer ; the second by 90 seamen of the Royal Xavy, armed in a similar manner, and led by Commander Mayne, under the personal direction of Sir William Wiseman. Both attacks were unsuccessful on account of the formidable nature of the, work, and the overwhelming fire which was brought to bear on the assailants. An attempt was also made by a party of seamen under Commander Phillimore to dislodge the enemy with hand grenades, thrown into the work. It being now nearly dark, I resolved to wait the return of daylight before undertaking further operations, the troops remaining in the several positions they had gained, in which they almost completely enveloped the enemy. Shortly after daylight on the 21st, the white flag was hoisted by the enemy, of whom 183 surrendered unconditionally, gave up their arms, and became prisoners of war. The exact strength and loss of the enemy 1 have been unable to ascertain, but he must have suffered severely. We buried 36 bodies, anil there is no doubt a large number were shot or drowned in attempting to escape across the swamp of Waikare Lake. Their wounded must have been removed during the night, as there were none among the prisoners. Our loss, necessarily severe in carrying so formidable a position, testifies to the gallantry of the troops I have the honor to command, and also, I am bound to say, to the bravery and determination of its defenders. I enclose a list of casualties. Your Excellency will observe that it includes a large proportion of officers, most of those who led in the different attacks being severely wounded. It will afford me the highest gratification to report to the Right Honorable the Secretary of State for War, and to His Royal Highness the Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, the admirable conduct of the troops engaged on this occasion, and to bring to their special notice the names of those officers and men who more particularly distinguished themselves.

SIX, .Since I closed my Despatch of the 24th instant, I have received intelligence of the death ■of Captain Mercer, commanding Royal Artillery on this station, from the effect of wounds received in the action of the 20th instant, whilst gallantly leading his men to an assault on the enemy's Htrongest work. I regard the loss of this able, zealous, and energetic officer at the present moment as a serious misfortune. Your Excellency having been intimately acquainted with Captain Mercer, and appreciating his noble character and many sterling qualities, will, I am confident, participate in the grief felt by myself and by the whole, force, for the death of this invaluable officer.
