The editor of the Baltimore Morning

following extract of letter, from an officer

HAVANA, September g..
again address you, to inform you of lit
tie circumstance that occurred here few
days since. On the 9th inst. on board of a
Spanish man of war, we observed the Amer
lean flag in most disgraceful situation ss
an American vessel Of war, we of course took
notice of it.
The flag of our country was displayed at
the foremost head of The vessel | aude To-,
union down, and under the bloody piralical
flag such an insult TO our flag conld not re-
main unnoticed, and there is not the least
doubt but it was intended as such. The mo-
ment Captain Shubrick observed it, | was
despatched with these orders :: " Whether our
Tag was Intentionally hoIsted in that manner
or not ?" The answer was, No there was
no insult offered TO your country, and the flags
shall be Immediately changed" | left the
vessel perfectly satisfied, supposng that the
tcord of the officer could not be doubted, aud
that his promise would be fulfilled but, to
our establishment, after returned on board,
they were still kept flying. | was ordered on
board again, To remain there until they were
either shifted or hauled down entirely ; as the
dag was improperly treated, had no scruple
10 delivering my orders uerbntim. On my
near approach 10 the 'essrl, The second time,
they commenced To haul them down.
however went on board, and communicated
my orders TO the commanding officer. On
the next day, our captain wrote bin letter,
stating the circumstance, and concluded by
saying, lift was his intention tn insult the dag,
1t was in a poor place, surrounded as he was
by his own forts sgnifying, presume, if ne
was ont Ofthe harbour. hs would resent il in
a different manner Shortly after this leiter
was delivered, an apology came Oh board,
which cleared up every thing.
