The British press in its treatment OF the onited
States, has its alternate fits of insoience and hu

ing conjecture that as peace is probable, we may
be inspired with the fear that England viii, IN

she may demand! What twaddle There will be

The greatest excitement ensued
Mr. Bartlett, of KY, tried to restore order and

The News.

On the outside of the Dispatch this morning, will
be found the exciting proceedings of the National
American Council, and the National American
Conrention. Also the Black Republican Conven-
ton. Much discord prevailed among the Ameri-
cans and many Southern men withdrew, as will be
seen by the proceedings on the outside and in the
latest news under tslsgraphic head. A telegraph
ic message to the Black Republicans from Philadel-
pha, speaks of the divisions there, and profers on
the part of some Of the Northern Americans to
unite with them.

statesmen, Of the discounts of the Banks, in and
ON, Of the State, we stated that all the Banks had
M, made returns and that among these. not heard
from. was the Bank of Virginia in this city This
statement was unjust to the Bank and incorrect -
Its return was made out very promptly and sent
in the House of Delegates but it was mislaid and
los. and never reached the Bank committee. The
kind friend who prepared the statement for the
Dispatch, therefore, had no return from the Bank
and concluded that none had been made.
We can say with truth that the Bank of Virginia
has ever been one Of the most prompt among the
Banks to respond to inquiries of the Legislature
We have now duplicate statement of the
bank and will correct the table tomorrow.

The English and French Alliance.

The New York Courier is of opinion that the En-
gsh and French alliance is getting to be more and
more of no affair that France is disposed to
force England into peace with Russia, and to grant
Russia easy terms, with the view of securing Rus
sian cooperation in future schemes of French ag-
srandizement upon the continent, which Englands
devotion to constitutional liberty do not permit her
to oountenance. We do not know what founda-
ton there is for the Couriers suspicious. We are
inclined TO believe, however, that France will not
insist upon very hard terms of peace from the
Gear, and that for the good reason that she in no
ndition-fnanc&lly-to prolong the war. We
may observe, however, that if the Courier has
been successful in fathoming the secret purposes of
Louis Napoleon in European any other affairs,
