WAR IN NEW CALEDONIA.

THE special correspondent of the " Sydney Morning Herald," writing on September 27, says : —" The effect of the massacres at Poya, and the victory of the natives, has spread beyond the immediate neighbour hood. Bourail, the most populous district I after Noumea in the colony, is now in a state of siege. When on the Ist of Septem ber 1 was rnwed up the Nera River, on the banks of which are many Cauaque villages and coigns of vantage from which our boat could easily have been sunk, the natives were all quiet and peaceful. As they sat fishing they gave us friendly " Bon jours." The Commandant Chossan, and M. Begner, the engineer of the works, had a few days previously assisted at a pilou pilou at Nera, two white men amongst 1,500 savages. If treachery had been meant they would have been surely slain then. But the jolly Com mandant was confident of the friendship of the surrounding natives, although very dubious of M. Houdaille's proceed ings. But two days after the news of affairs at Poya, or even before then, it was discovered that many of the villages were abandoned, and it was pre sumed that the inhabitants had joined the rebels on the north. Some natives employed in the post disappeared. The events at Poya caused the Governor to send Captain Pouzols to take command ot the troops at Bourail, and needful precautions appear to have been taken by him. The scattered inhabitants of the valley were called into the post, strong fortificatiations were erected, and patrols established. _he con cessions, which extend fifteen miles from the post, might easily have been surprised by the natives, if they had organised as at La Foa, Bonloupari, and Poya. I cannot help thinking that the only cause of their leaving the villages in the first instance is fear; and I have seen so much of the BURNING AND PLUNDERING disposition of tho French soldiers that I have no doubt destruction has followed entirely uumerited. If the Canaques in the neighbourhood of Bourail had been really hostile, the might have slain hundreds. As it is, I presume they are now all in a state of revolt, as several attacks have been made on the posts, but I am convinced that nothing of this would have occurred but for the unhappy mistakes of M. Hondaille. The situation at Bourail is really most serious, owing to the large extent of country which will have to be defended, unless the " concessions " are for a time to be entirely abandoned. I shall not be surprised to hear of sad events here shortly. There are many hundred fighting men around here, who, if they band together, and especially strengthened by the firearms they have captured, will give considerable trouble to the troops. And the revolt may spread further to the north, and across to the East Coast. There are tribes there living in tbe mountain valleys, who have never yet given in adhesion to the French rule. They come to the coast sometimes and trade, but that is all. Should dissatisfac tion reach these, the whole of New Caledonia, north of the La Foa river may, in a short time, be in a state of siege, and with the small number of troops at the Governor's disposal the war may drag on for very many months. If this general revolt in these districts should occur it will be caused by folly and inefficiency. . NATIVES FRIENDLY TO ENGLISH. As I have before shown, the natives are always very friendly to the English miners. After the first disturbance, and when through fear of the threats of the "liberes" and the soldiers, the natives around Balade kept to their villages, and some retired into the bush, English miner- went out to their camps and pressed them to come in as usual with fruit and vegetables, promising they should not be harmed. It is cowardice which, I believe, has caused a great many of these troubles. For instance, a day after I left Pam the natives had a grand pilon pilon. A Government despatch said that, after this "they made hostile demonstra tions against the inhabitants, four chiefs were taken, tried by court-matial on board the Seudre, and, being condemned to death, were sent to He Noufor execution." ''Hostile demonstrations" is a vague term, and I lamented to M. Servan, at Canala, where we heard the news, that some foil}' had been committed. Two days since I was at He Nov. I was shown in separate cells the four chiefs. One was a Christian, be longing to the mission of Bonde-Diahot. They expressed their innocence of any plot or f hostile intention, or, indeed, of any knowledge why they were there. They were arrested after a pilonpilon, that was all they knew. One man could not speak a word of French, although pretty good English. I thought I knew his face, and he said, "Me sabe you at Diahot along Cappen Warren." I questioned him closely, and I believe he spoke the truth when he 3aid, "Me no sabe at all. Me sabe pilon pilon. One Franchisman shake him fist at me. I shake fist so at him. Commissaire Police he come say, ' Come along me.' Me stop here." I really think this is about the real truth of the " hostile demonstrations " at the Balade. The Commissaire of Police there is an ignorant blockhead, who would be guilty of any such folly. The Governor, I presume, after full inquiry, is so satisfied of the injustice of the sentence that he has " pardoned the men," _ and they are to be returned to their homes. ■ But the present situation is graver than ever. Without a large accession cf troops it will, I am afraid, be impossible to pre vent the revolt spreading, or to supprass it. Under the French system of carry ing on this war blockhouses and posts must be established everywhere, and all the available officers and men are now employed in garrisoning these. Volunteers have not proved any good except on guard in Noumea.

Report on a Sample of Imperial Schiedam Sch napps, received from Mr. H. J. Hart. We have subjected a sample of the above named article to a very careful chemical analysis and examination. The results of the analysis, which are set forth in a separate report, show that this spirit is of good strength, practically free from acidity, and that it contains but traces of solid matter in solution. It possesses a delicate and agreeable aroma, and a pure and mild taste. Mr. Hart's Schiedam Schnapps is a very superior article of its class, is well purified, and quite genuine. (Signed) Arthur H. Hassall, M.D., Author of " Food and its.Adulteration Otto Hkhner, F.C.S. P lie Analyst. t/«/r'"£■;?; ™ "a/ #, —i^vr, lin BSffiE i 11 wi' *-*^mssm WW Sife^, ■iil ' Wm. Johnson's Report. Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, 23rd July, 1877. Henri J. Hart, Esq. Sir,—l have the honour to report for your in formation that the sample of Imperial Schiedam Schnapps forwarded by you to mo has been sub mitted to a searching chemical analysis, and critical examination, the result of which enables me to state that it is the Finest Sample of Schnapps that has as yet come under my notice. It has a pure fragrant odour, and isabsolutely free from any trace of fusil or other iniurious impurity, and has evidently been distilled from superior rye grain, always usrd instead of malt in the production of the choicest qualities of Schnapps. It is very smooth to the palate, and in this respect compares favourably with other samples offered for sale. It may be advised as equally suitable for medical or economic pur poses. I have the honour to be, See., (Signed) Wm. Johnson, Analytical Chemist to the Government t of Victoria. This Pure Medical Spirit, Superior to any n the Market, and Lower in Price, is offered to the Public under the full conviction that it will supersede all others now in use.
