BATTLE OF LAKE ERIE.

/ The late controversy between Gen. Tow.
son and Capt Elliott, has elected some new
facts to us at least, in relation to Perry's bat
tie on Lake Eric. The following article on
this subject is copied f4om the Buffalo Jour.
nal of the Goth ul,. and although its language
Is somewhat severe, yet we are fully persuad-
cd that it is not more SO than he deserves
Provid. Jour.
BATTLE OF LAKE ERTE.-A controversy has
recently broken out in New York, between
the gallant General TowsOn, and the bastard
Jesse ID. Elliott-whose conduct in the bat
Tie of Lake Erie placed his name first on the
roll ofinfamy and disgrace. Nothing could
fully justify General Towson, the valiant and
beloved SOLDIER in submitting to contention
with so low and base being. The former
has them in never fading custers--tha latter
backed his iopsua, rather than risk the gath.
ering!
\ Provoked by the impndcnce of Elliott, the
New York editors have been freely publish
ing the old and authentic records Of Eilott's
intamy, touching he Lake Erie Battle. This
seemed called for. not only by the arrogance
ofthe poltroon, but by the fact that he has
become the PET of the President. and has re-
ceivcd the appointment Of Commander of the
Mediterranean station This favoritism was
won by the servlie act of mounting craven
image Of Andrew Jackson upon the bows Of
the frlgate constitutional deed worthy Of
court parasite in the most degenerate days Of
Rome.
Among the documents published, we find
the affidavit of .Sitphen Champ,in, who in that
memorable fight commanded the schooner
Scorpon.-Capt. Cbamplin is now resident
OF this city. lie is still in the navy, though
cripple for life, from wound received at
the taking Of fMackina.-Wc have conversed
with this gentleman upon the subject in hand;
and 1t is no secret that Captain Champlin es-
Inmates Jesse ID. Elliott as u brave and GAL
liant seaman ever would man who could
stoopto flch the well-earncd fame from his
commander. lie il, in short, poltroon, who
without valour to win laurels, is dcspicable
enough to filch them, by misreprese ion.
The bastard reptile, Of figure head memory,
after the battle in which he was disgraced,
applied to Capt. Champlin. among others, for
certificates that he had done his d,ltE He was
promptly told he had not earned, and could
not receive such testimonials! Upon another
occasion the guilty cuprlt openly declared to
Capt. Champlin, that he might have sacrificed
the whole American feet in the battle of
Lake Erie, and that he cished he had done 30.
1t is plain, that instead ofpromotion, Elliott
deserved to be hanged. There are still
many here, and along this frontier, who wero
familiar with all the facts, at the time--many
who were in the fleet, too: and none doubts,
none can doubt, who u familiar with the facts,
that should the said Elliot be now brought TO-
trial, before naval court martial, and his case
be fairly investigated, aud impar,ially judged,
If he escaped the ignoininy OF being hanged,
he would owe it to pardon, and not to want
ofproof.

LAUNCH IN TURKEY.-It seems that Mr.
F. Rhodes, all American, has been amusing
his highncss the Sultan, in Constantinople
and his suite, in quite respectable manner
being an affair no less than the launching o

work of several weeks, and the cause of mos,

correspondent Of the Globe writes
"a state tent was erected near the hulk,
richly ornamentcd, for the Sultan, and another
for the grand vizior, the seraskier, and other
high officers Of state. To our Charge de af-
fairs, commodore Porter, was sent direct
from his highness, a special invitation ex-
pressed in the most tlattering words. The
captain Pacha placed two steamers and his
, ,highness's yatch (American builtl off the ar
sena, for the accommodation Of his family
and the Americans in Constantinople. Some
OF the other foreign ministers requested and
obtained permission to witness the pageant I;
bringing with them the gentlemen of their
legation, and some Of their families. Guard
boats belonging to the vessels Of the arsenal.
formed line round the intended passage of
the ship. Hundreds Of kaiks filed with peo-
pie OF both sexes, from among the different
nations IN the city, absolutely filed every
inch OF space allotted them in the harbor, and
the shores for great distance were covered
with spectators. The harem Of his highness
was accommodated in an opposite house in
the Fanar. he himself, having previously ex-
amlned and prepared il for their comfort-(so
much for Turkish barbarism.) and near it the
families Of all the different ministers of
state.
At little before meridian, his highness
came down the stream ia his twenty cared

NEWPORT BANK. We stated in Our
paper few days previous to the late
election, that the Depostes Of the Uni
ted States were withdrawn from this
Bank by the positive order of the Presi-
dent Of the U. S. and the Secretary of
the Treasury, which statement was sub
sequently contradicted in the tory paper
in this place. We now have the pleas
ure of laying before the public the reso-
lutions of the Newport Bank, as pub
lished in the National Intelligencer o!

the statement made by us at the time re-
ferred to, that those Deposites were re-
moved to effect political Purposes-the

der existing circumstances discontinue the
emission of notes under five dollars after the
81 day Of March, 1886; and that the resolu-
