He blamed the violence on “the hostile Spirit of Violence and Rapine, which the black Natives or Aborigines of this Country had for a Considerable time past Manifested against the White Inhabitants”. “Rapine” has largely disappeared from the English language; it means the violent seizure of property, not rape. His actions were expressed in terms of his proclamations of the 20th of July and 1st of November, 1816. Thus Macquarie wrote of his success in “disarming the Natives”. He wrote of his success in “outlawing some of the Most Violent and Atrocious Natives” particular Aboriginal people and offering an “indemnity to such as delivered themselves within a prescribed Period”. There was no mention of lives being lost. He was able to end with the hope that his Native Institution would “ultimately pave the way for the Civilization of a large Portion of the Aborigines of the Country”. ‘In my Dispatch P'r the Brig Alexander of date 8th June last, I had the Honor of Informing Your Lordship of the Measures, which I had deemed it adviseable to pursue in respect to Quelling and Subduing the hostile Spirit of Violence and Rapine, which the black Natives or Aborigines of this Country had for a Considerable time past Manifested against the White Inhabitants; and I have now much pleasure in reporting to Your Lordship that the Measures I had then and have Subsequently adopted have been attended with the desired Effect, and that all Hostility on both Sides has long since Ceased; the black Natives living now peaceably and quietly in every part of the Colony, Unmolested by the White Inhabitants. The Measure of disarming the Natives had an immediate good Effect upon them, and the Proclamations Issued Subsequently under dates, 20th of July, and 1st of November, 1816, the first outlawing some of the Most Violent and Atrocious Natives, and the Second holding out Indemnity to such as delivered themselves within a prescribed Period, made them at length fully Sensible of the Folly of their Conduct, and soon afterwards induced the Principal Chiefs to Come in at the Heads of their respective Tribes to sue for Peace and to deliver up their Arms in All due Form in Terms of the Proclamation of the 4th of May, 1816, a Copy of which accompanied My Dispatch under date 8th June last. I now do myself the Honor to transmit for Your Lordship's further Information My Proclamation under dates 20th July and 1st November, 1816, relative to the Hostile Natives; a numerous friendly Meeting of whom took place at Parramatta on the 28th of December last, when I gave them a plentiful Treat of Meat and Drink; on which occasion 179 Men, Women and Children were assembled, being a greater Number than had been seen together at any one time for Several Years past; they All appeared happy and perfectly Satisfied at the Meeting, and some of them of their own free Will and Accord gave up their Children for the Native Institution, which I had established at Parramatta some time before; and this Institution, from the progress the Children have already made, gives great Hope that it will ultimately pave the way for the Civilization of a large Portion of the Aborigines of the Country.’279 Directory: docs docs -> Application for acem docs -> Observational Assessment of Teaching Practices Teaching Assessment Initiative Proposal Submitted to The Teachers for a New Era project docs -> Traditional British values docs -> From Warfighters to Crimefighters: The Origins of Domestic Police Militarization docs -> Borzoi Club of America Register of Merit Program I.
