Arms and Ammunition.

I am also about to introduce into the Council upon Friday next a measure to enable me to-prohibit, for the present, the importation of arms and warlike stores, and to regulate the sale of them in this colony. The immediate effect of this measure will be to render those who possess arms and gunpowder very unwilling to part with them; and I have no doubt that the tribes in rebellion will very soon be unable to make any use of their arms, from their positive inability to procure ammunition and percussion-caps.
