the following reference is made to the arrival at
Yokohoma of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred.
The Prince saluted Admiral Keppel English,

French commander. The day following he
hoisted his royal standard, which every
one saluted with twenty-one guns.
After the firing was over, word
came on board that his Royal Highness would
have a reception on shore, and people wishing
to know him could have an introduction. AS he
had not treated the American or French COM
manders with common courtesy in the matter of
the salute, they botn declined to attend. This
caused considerable talk, and the next morning
Prince Alfred hauled down his royal standard.
