An excited meeting of the New York Chamber of
Commerce has taken place. The meeting was called
to discuss the burning of the Jacob Bell. A com-
mittee was appointed to report what measures are
proper to adopt concerning the burning of the
Jacob Bell by a pirate fitted out and supplied in
England. The President of the Chamber inti-
mated that a'war with England was a possibility,
and one not to be dreaded. England's neutrality
was denounced, and the conduct of England
towards American merchants declared to be a
disgrace to the age. Efforts should be made to call
the attention of British merchants to the circum-
stances, and it was thought that multitudes would
respond.
