We have a letter by the Black IVarrior, j Captain Anderson, from Akaroa, dated the 21st of June, in which our correspondent iaforms us that great alarm has lately existed amongst the English and French settlers at Akaroa. On the 17th of June, a report was current that several boats had landed natives from Otago. The report originated with the natives who left the Pah on the opposite side of the Bay for that part of the Bay occu pied by the white people. The na tives represented that they came over for protection, and stated that there were ten boats more coming the next day. In conse quence of this each white man was armed with a brace of pistols and a cutlass, and the women and children, together with a large portion of property, were secured in the block-house. Confusion and bustle prevailed for want of a coramanSer. On the 18th, a boat's crew volunteered to cross the Bay to ascertain the strength of the supppsedjeneiTiy, aud returned jwitlr a ; swweL that had been left by the alarmed natives when they came to seek protection. When the boat's crew returned withont having seen auy natives, the fear and alarm was allayed. On the 19th, the alarm was increased, and property not before secured was buried in the ground or secured in the block-house. In the afternoon, thirty natives armed with guns and tomahawks arrived, and when asked what they wanted, said that they had not come with any hostile intention to the settlers, but to fight Parkike and his followers, among whom is Toby, the successor to the claims of Bloody Jack. On the 20th, Taicoa and his followers ar rived to join the other armed natives. Both the French and English apprehend that the victorious party will apply for payment for the land at Akaroa. The Fr-ench block-house was guarded by twelve men from the French corvette L'Rhin which vessel has sailed for Tahiti.
