After taking away my all, what has Bruat done?
I will make known to you. He divided my land into four parts, and gave them to the chiefs who Moerchhaut had obtained, viz, to Hitote, Tati, to Utami, and to Paraita, cach a part.
Great was the anger of my people at that, bec ause they did nat like to see rebellious chiefs rew- arded, and they who were faithful and without de- ceit, deprived of their own lands.
Afterwards war commenced at Taiiraibu, and this was the canse on account of which it com- menced. Some men from the French ship scized some women from the shore, their husbands not agreeing to it. War commenced there. Bruat then entrapped four of my chiefs, and confined thom in irons on board the "Cranie," because he had been informed that they did not regard his proclamation, and he tried to seize hold of some others. My people were exceedingly enraged at
these things, new day as sen die together in one
place. But they did not go to Papeite to fight, and buy the houses, and kill the French, becaure I and the missionaries restrained them, therefore But Bront. was not content with they did not. this, but listened to the words of the timid man, Moerenhaut, and he led his army to Mahaena, and fought there a horrid battle. Ninety of my peo- ple were killed -the French gave no quarther.-- They say fifty of theirs were killed, but it is well known that there were many more killed.
They did not pursue my people beyond the reach of the great guns of the ship; they knew what the end would be if they had so done. They were glad to return to Papcite. Afterwards thay fought again, and attacked my people at Haapape and Faaaa. Their success was less in these places than in their battle at Malmena. Their steamer was their safety,

NOTICE.
Ask
to build forts and erect houses. He is giving $1,000 a year, each, to the governors Tati, Hitoti, and Paraita. Utami will not receive his hire, and now he has none. Brant hires some of the people to be judges, and to hold other offices under him, and they alone, are the common people that accord with, or pretend to accord with the French,
Be not deceived by Bruat, if he says that many of the chiefs and people accord with the French, It is no such thing, although one part may
desire French money.
..
Hitote, who is a depraved man, made a feast for some of my people. Bruat was also invited and many got drunk.
Hitoti and some others made speeches to plense the Governor Brunt, but one part spoke the trat! to him, saying, that they accorded with his wine, but they did not accord with him and the French, but they accorded with Queen Pomare,
Bruit has no right to interfere with the govern ment of my people now, because he knows that the Government of France, and the King of the French, and a part of his counsellors, are not pleased with Du Petit Thouars, and have commanded him to return to me my government.
I shall throw upon Bruat all the evils that grow out of his not regarding the desire of the wise counsellors of France, and the commands of bia own king.
Bruat has sent his steamer to fetch me, and that
he might get me into his hands, but I fled to the mountains, where I now dwell in a bad hut.

Burnett's Bookeeper, ridden by Crickmere, beating Mr. Bainbridge's Humbug, Mr. Rolts Nimrod, Mr. Pyet's Miracle, and Lord Alford's The Stranger. The race was won pretty easy by two lengths, the Stranger throwing his rider rather heavily and running riderless a great portion of the race, fairly between the flags. Humbug, beautifully ridden by Mason, was second.
