The Journal de St. Petersburg gives the following
account of the numerous formalities which attended the
recent arrival at Cronstadt of the Swedish vessels, the fri-
gate Norrkjoping.and the steam-corvette Thor. Imme-
diately after exchanging the usual salutes, the commanders
of the two vessels, accompanied by their officers, paid a
visit to Admiral Novossilsky and the other authorities of
Cronstadt. These visits were returned on the next two
days. On leaving the frigate the visitors were each saluted
with the number of guns corresponding to his rank. The
Swedish consul-general and vice-consul at St. Petersburg
also went on board the vessels, and were each saluted with
seven guns. On the following day the captains of the ves-
sels and some of their officers went to St. Petersburg to
pay their respects to the Swedish Minister, who soon after
I resumed the visit and was saluted with 13 guns."
