flag, on the part Of British naval officers.
The American ship Swasara left Yoko-
hama, homewsrd bound, July 81. She was

ships OF every nationality, except the
English. The British feet at Yokohama
was sent away on the I'd Of July last. and
remained al Sea over the Fourth, avoiding
necessity fOr a salute. Similar incidents
were OF constant occurrence during Grants

army officers al to withhold
salutes ON W~ashington's birthday has
been the cause Of a difference between
these officers aud Governor Sir John Hen

cites on such occasions. Ii Is claimed on
behalf Of the British agents that their
conduct is regulated by orders from Lon
