There are no troops at Otaliuhu now but the militia and a few sick soldiers, and the mihtui weie to mount guard there last night for the first time. Their uniform is a pair of black trousers with a red stripe, and a blue jumper and cap, and they are described as being altogether a smart lot of men, and as ha\mg profited already by their short experience of military drill. Two or tluee days ago the telegraph wire between Otahuliu and Diury was found to have been cut in two, but it was not known by whom. The cncunisl.mce is, however, at the piesent juncture Aery suspicious. We ha\e not been informed of any outbreak amongst the nati\ es as yet A proclamation has been issued by the Governor, calling upon the natives of Mangere and the adjoining districts to give up tlieir arms and take the oath of allegiance. Very few Inn c responded — at Mangere only si\ had done so. We understand that the natn es there as a body have declined to gi\o up their arms, although they aie willing to take any oaths, and say they do not see w hy they should not ha\ c a king as well as that w e should hay c a Queen. As it respects the Auckland natives, the proclamation which was posted about the town ycstcidny, ordering them to keep within their houses from daybreak to dusk, appears to have caused quite a com motion amongst them, for groups of them might be seen about the streets yester day, talking with so much energy, that one might suppose they were discussing not onty the "nah\e difficulty," but even the fate of nations Theie was a special general parade of the -volimteeis ycstciday morning, at which very few were absent When they had foinied in hue, Major Campbell rapics'ted such as did not volunteer for actual sen ice to stand out, a call which was only responded to by a very few ; so that we may say they almost unani mously volunteered for active semce.
