A length of time has elaps ed without any British accounts of the fleets ©n the Lakes or the armies in their vicinity. The American accounts are not alw vs to tic depended on, in the shape they bear in their prints, yet we are ready to allow, when they lay claim to a victory, and particularize cir-umstances, it too often happens to have gr wvn out *.t‘ something like truth ! In th;i Tf.Mmer we were willing, when we fjrst heard of our fleet on Luke Champlain ha ving been defeated and taken, to put at least on h df of it down to fabrication. In our pa per t -day will be seen the American ac count of that affair, which we arc sorry to &iy appears to have been decisively in their f v. r, and cur armament on that L"*ke, with the exception of the row-gallies (that escaped) all taken. We shall feel much anxiety until we get the British account, which we trust will d'tprc’ e their statement of cur force l>e ing superior to theirs ; in such a case every British heart would feel alarm for the credit wt their cauutrymcn who fought the battle.

On motion of Mr.Irvrngof N. Y.tlic memo rial of t ic New-York B inks, presented the day lict >rc yesterday, was ordered to be printed.

NATIONAL BANK KILL. * The House on motion of Mr. Calhoun re s—oed the bill to inc rporate the subscribers tv Hit Bank of the United States of America.

He would have a Bank of * limited amount, »ny twenty millions of capi ta* ; he woubi m.ik*' it indispensable that it should pay t/Vie, 1-y » pf-nision that all notes not p»i'» in sj;”ric when properly presented should thenceforth hef r A certain interest, <Jt t>7 inflirtiug a penalty on such directors as ».

This was, generally his plan. Up^n the whole lie concluded by saying, although there were many pools in which the present bill was pre ferable to the bill first reported, still, with i's present amount of cap t il, and the great pru]>oitio:i of stock to specie, it was wholly objectionable in his mind, and he could n<«t vote for it. When Mr. W. sat down— Air. Lowndes of S. C. said, il lie conceived any advantage to the nation could result from permitting this discussion to progress, he should not make the motion lie was about to offer. But, believing, f;x>ru the difference of views entenained in different parts of the house, r.r.d from the variety oi plans which had been offered, that longer discussion would merely consume time without a prospect of the final passage of the bill; and believing also, that by a reference to a select commit tee, a concurrence of the views of all parties might be obtained in favor of one plan, he moved that this biii be referred to a select committee. Air. Ingham of Pa. siid he was in favor of the re-commitment of the bid, because lie believed that in its present form it would r.t pass the House, hut that a bill might bu devis ed that would meet the views of gentlemen on all sides of the Mouse. It was possible, at least, a combination of the v ews 11 different gentlemen might be effected, which might produce great good, and could do no harm. 1 le was tlicrelore in favor of re-i ommitment, asthe only means of effecting this desirable object. Air. I:nk of JY. Y. said he merely roc® to add his wish to that uf his friend from Penn. It w.-.s as certain as any thing yet in snSpence could be, that the bill wuuld not piss the House in its present si up**. That it might be kept ir. possession of the House, and not< i stroyeu without hn effort to preserve it, ll* lmllM/l f'lH Hnnco a. i select c-mvmictee for such modification as might appe.t w be calculated to meet the views ot the : ,'ou.ie. 1 he opinion of gentle men on .ill sides had been so fully expressed, that the con11 itoe, being in possession of th m, would he able to mould the bill ac cordingly. Mr. Calhoun of 5. •?. said it must be obvi •us, from the course ot the debate, if it were n >t from the nature of the subject, that a \r at diversity of sentiment existed on this h a *. N question could exhibit a greater iversity of sentiment, confined neither to p Ttv or locality. As he was extremely anx ious that the Hank should be established, Mr. L. said he should be averse to throwing any obstacle in the way of the practicability cf the measure, and would therefore heartily as sent to the motion for rc-cemmitment. The question was then taken on re enmit ment and decided in the affirmative without ! a division. THE TAX BILLS. The House then on motion of Mr. Ff.f-.rtt, re solved itself into.a committee of tne whole on the several tax hills reported by the commit tee of Ways and Means. '['he b»U for laying an additional duty on dis tilled spirituous liquors, tvas hrst taken up, Sc. discussed with much zeal.Various amendments were o.ade to the bill and the blanks filled, m conformity to the previous determinatH4,s of the House, and to the suggestions of the C hairman of the committee uf Ways and Means.

The first step taken by these Now-Eng land conspirators was. as the “ Olive Drat c/ ” justly says, to smv discord and jealousy be tween the different sections of the unionr or eighteen years.” says the wiitcr, “the nv>st unceasing endeavors bwc Inen used to poison the minds of the people uf New England to wards, and to alienate them from their fellow citizens of the southern staves, who have, been pourtvayed as derp—, inornate, end destitute of all the good qualities that digiafv cr adorn tiuman n.ture.’s To such horrible lengths h s this spirit lx* n carried, that many para graphs have occasionally appeared’ in the B jston pipers, intended and calculated to e>: cite tlie negroes of the souther^ suites to rise and massacre their masters.” “ Thus. continues the writer,” •* come r ro gress was made : but it was inconsiderable.— Whilst the yeomanry of New-England were enriched by a beneficial comir.evce with the southern states, they did not feel disposed to quarrel with them for t mir supposed want of a due degree of piety and morality.

' These positions, however absurd, howe ver extravagant, however ridiculous they ap pear >n their native feym, have, by dint of e ternal repetition, made such an impression on the minds ->f a I a-ye portion of the people of New England, that th*v are as thoroughly con vinced of their truth as of any problem of Eu The wide? cf the “Olive Ilranch” now proceeds to examine the five petitions above enumer'ted*—•* they are not,” says he, •• en titled to a tern ns refutation, but merely as they hnve been made the instruments of go much mischief. ___ * The high-sooudine pretension* of N^w 'jngtan/i on the f.ubject c»f commerce, have been almost universally admitted.

SIR—It appears that th~ negocia tint's at Gh**nt wer** not broken off, but that they w-r- suspended. Although w» have no fact* upon which to r< « a settle l opinion, 1 think it probable, that our min sters, after rejecting the insulting trrms offered them, did not wish to fake upon themselves the responsibility of returning home; that thev tho :ght eveo sus pense better than a certainty of continued war ; and that they leipeci for s,,rne change in Europe, th >t must lesser the arrogance of our enemy. Hence their dispatches, as puh I ‘is'.ed ; and henc** the return of Hi— answer of cur government by Mr. Purviance. So that, in all hum n probability the Br tidi will not relax in their dem md:;, our ntir isters will return, and we shall hive war in ca’-nest next spring. Are we doing exactly all that we ought to do, and can do, in such circumstances ? I read the papers, 1 read the speeches in congress, but I cannot pnrdeive ( that much is doing. Every body says that wt* i cannot go on without money ; a great many j so." that v/c cru borrow no more ; and a great i many more say that the United States bank ; w ill not.be chartered at last, and that if it should, it won’t prepare us for the next cam paign. . fso that the taxes at lust are thought | of ; I do not see that the bills have as yet passed, and if they were passed, I fear it would require much time to collect them. At this time our enemy is making every ** demonstration” of his intention to “ destroy every .assailable place,” and he will in all probability have, early in the spring. 70,000 men in North America, if not more, for the b-st advices inform us that he has again pur chased men from the German primes. And jet, after all our experience, hero we are, not much better off than we were last winter, if as well. It may betbat I do rot pa attention enoagh to the papers, but I really do not know what I could answer if any body asked rr.e what congress ha»e been do ing. The people, too, or many cf them, strange as it may be thought, are as fully convinced that re c * is at. hand, as rvor they were. All that I want to know is, f-.r tvhat possible reason 'hev think so. But ev*r if the chances were infav. r of peace, oug'-t v/e not all to be up and d' ing : tl.e British know better than we do whether there will be peace or war, the - home rests with them, an l they are ur.t only preparing for vigorous war, but generally op posed to peace altogether In March, JSOK, Mr. John Quincy Ad ims, one of oir present ministers at Ghent, wrote as t Pow to Mr. Harrison Gray Otis : “ It is impossible for any man to form ar. arcurati* idea of the Hridsh fit lieu towards the U.
