Load view and then set its display, limit how much to load, pass argument and then render all programatically. Easy snippet or example code.

<?php
//Load the view.
  $view = views_get_view('news_master');
  
  //set the display.
  $view->set_display('block');
  
  //set the limit.
  $view->set_items_per_page(8);
  
  //set offset
  $view->set_offset(5);
  
  //pass the arguments.
  $view->set_arguments(array($tid));
  
  //setting the page, so that its show.
  $pager = $view->display_handler->get_option('pager');
  $pager['type'] = 'mini'; //or 'full'
  $view->display_handler->set_option('pager', $pager);
  
  //compulsory if you want the cache & all to work.
  $view->pre_execute();
  
  //execute everything.
  $view->execute();
  
  //render the final output
  $content = $view->render();
?>
