By this day's Mail.

NEW-YORK, June 23.

Captain Upton, arrived at Salem from Bourdeaux, sailed in company with the ship Amelia, of Philadelphia; which ship had on board Mr. Munroe, our late Minister in France, and family.

Yesterday arrived here in 7 days from Halifax, His Britannic Majesty's Packet Prince Ernest, Captain Schuyler. By this arrival we have London News to the 6th of May—no later than by the Orion—though we elect several important articles which did not find their way into our Cork papers—They follow under the date of

HALIFAX, June 8.

Last Evening arrived here his Majesty's Packet, Prince Ernest, in 28 days from Falmouth. We have received papers by her to the 6th of May; and have extracted from them the very interesting intelligence of the Peace concluded between the Emperor and the French Republic.

Mr. Hammond had arrived at Vienna, and the strongest expectations were entertained that a general Peace would immediately take place.

The embargo still continued in the ports of France. The most perfect order was restored in the fleet at Spithead—the first division of which under Sir Alan Gardner had dropt down, the other divisions were preparing to follow, and the whole fleet was immediately to proceed to sea. The men, grateful to government for the indulgence shewn them, go to sea with increased enthusiasm to meet the enemies of their Country.

The following are the most interesting Articles which are continued in the London papers.

LONDON, May 6.

Mr. Best, one of the King's Messengers, arrived at Lord Grenville's Office yesterday with dispatches from Sir Morton Eden, his Majesty's Ambassador at the Court of Vienna, dated the 22d ult. They contain an ample confirmation of the important intelligence announced to the public in our last paper. The preliminaries of peace between his Imperial Majesty and the French Republic, were signed on the 13th instant, between his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles and Gen. Buonaparte.

We believe we may state, with some degree of confidence, that the basis on which the Preliminary articles of peace was agreed to, was—that the Emperor consented to cede to the French Republic the Low countries, the country of Nice, Savoy, and Avignon.

The other complicated parts of the general arrangement for the peace of Germany, and we hope, of Europe, are to be settled at a Congress to be held at Basle, to which his Britannic Majesty has the option of sending an ambassador, if he pleases. Mr. Hammond will, therefore, arrive at Vienna very opportunely to repair thither, as he is charged with full powers to treat for this country. Mr. Hammond was met at Dresden on the 25th ult. on his journey to Vienna.

We cannot but regard the nature of those Preliminaries as favorable to Great-Britain, under all the circumstances of the case.—The French by admitting of a Congress have abandoned that silly and vain stipulation of treating for peace only at Paris, to which all the powers of Europe who wished to sue for it, were to send their plenipotentiaries.

As a cessation of arms on the Continent, has also been agreed on, in order to give time to settle the various points which must come under discussion, we may hope that the appointment of a Congress may lead to a favorable result. From the particulars which are already known, we discover the cheering prospect of a general peace.

But whatever may be the ultimate effect of the peace between Austria and France, one material advantage is certain to be derived by this country from that event—the drain of cash from England to Vienna will henceforward cease, and the vote of Parliament will only be to cover the advances hitherto made to his Imperial Majesty. Such is the purport of a declaration made in the House of Commons last night, by the chancellor of the Exchequer.

In regard to the Ecclesiastical Electorates and every thing which relates to the new arrangements of the territories on the Rhine, which heretofore made a part of the Germanic Empire, those the House of Austria, could not of itself surrender: and upon these points it is agreed that there shall be held a Congress.

The dispatches brought by Mr. Best, in addition to the intelligence above stated, mention the disastrous condition of the Imperial armies, prior to the preliminaries of Peace being signed, as related in the official letters contained in the last French papers.

On the receipt of the news from the continent yesterday, consols rose to 51, but they afterwards gradually fell to 48.

The Dublin mail of the 21st inst. came to hand yesterday. Its contents are of considerable importance. It appears that government are in possession of such documents belonging to the United Irishmen at Belfast, as place beyond all doubt the intentions of the malcontents "to overthrow the Constitution and betray the country into the hands of the enemy." His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has sent a message to the House of Commons upon this important subject.
