His Danish Majesty's brig St. Croix, Captain Kianwan, ar-
rived at this port from the Mediterranean, on Thursday, short
of provisions and water, bound to Copenhagen. Captain K.
requested his Consuls at this place (Messrs. Wienholt, Hughes,
and Co.) to wait on the Admiral of the port, and inquire if he
saluted the Admiral's flag, whether the same number of guns
would. be returned; when they were informed that there would
be as many guns returned as a British brig would receive
(which is six less in number) ; that the salute is hot considered
a National salute, but a Captain saluting an Admiral. The
salute, therefore, did not take place. The Russian flag has
long ceased to salute our's, in consequence of the Officers
looking upon it as one nation saluting another, and therefore
that an equal number of guns should be returned.
