ALLEGED INSULT TO THE AMERICAN FLAG.
La Patrie publishes the following : — We stilted some time since that in the month of April last the captain of an Knglish vessel, at Honolulu, had torn down the flag of the American Consulate. This insult created a great sensation in the town, and the English officer in command of the station ordered the flag to be rehoisted, and made personal excuses to the Consul of the United States. We now learn that the Washington Government was not satisfied with this, but demanded further satisfaction from the English Government, which latter has just addressed a despatch to President Johnson, expressing its regret for the occurmmce at the Sandwich Islands.
