SPANISH iNsULrs.-The Commercial publishes
the following account Of the manner in which
the American flag is insultcd by the Spanish Of
icials in Cuba:
The e;rampus, Commander Van Brunt, entered
the port of Matanzas in December last, and the
commander sent word 10 the Governor that he
would have the honor of firing a national salute
of twenty lone gnns which was done. The sa-
lutte was returned with only eighteen gurs, which
is as great an insult as can be offered to the flag
of another nation. Capt. V. 3. sent an officer to
the Governor stating the fact and desiring the
complete return Of the salute.
Answer was returned that orders had been is
sued to the commandment of the port, and the
Governor seemed disposed to take no farther
tice of the matter.
A sharp correspondence ensued, in which the
Governor stated that the necessary ammunition
had been issued, and he presumed some Of the
cartridges had been stolen on their way to the
battery. Capt. " B. answered that he had no.
thing to do with the stealing of the cartridges
these three guns were his due and he would have
them; if they were not returned he would allow
no custom-house boat to board any vessel in the
harbor. Three days after the three guns were re-
turned
On similar occasion, when the Vncennes

ment Of guns due the French ship La Brilliante,
in the harbor of Pensacola, the American COM
mander fired the whole salute over again mmc-
diately.
