Go be continued.)

A proposition suggested by Her Majesty's
Government, and submitted to this and Others,
is now under consideration with regard to dis
pepsing with some of the unnecessary salutes
which take place between the services of diff
ferent nations on the occasion of the meeting
of their vessels of war and the reception of
high officials. 1t is desired to establish Q set
of rules to be observed by all. The PROPOSE
ton, which it is understood meets with the
concurrence of the Navy Department of the
United States. is not to return salutes Of the
following character: To royal personages, the
chief of Q State and to members of royal fami-
lies, whether on arrival at, or departure from,
any port, or upon visiting ship-of-war, to
diplomatic, naval, military or consular antho-
rites, or to q Governor, when using ship Of
war. 1t is proposed TO return only those which
are not considered personal, and which should
receive gun for gun, such as the national flag
on arriving ct q port, and the salutes of flag
officers when meeting. These rules. If gener-
ally concurred in and adopted, will obviate
many embarrassments which constantly arise,
aud sometimes lead to unpleasant feelings.
Besides, much unnecessary expense will be
saved. The returning Of personal salutes has
long been regarded as Objectionable.
