NEW-YORK, March 10.

The immense number of letters brought by the Halifax packet, in the November, December, and January mails, having necessarily postponed the delivery of them until this morning, we are at present prevented from giving all the latest opinions of our correspondents in Europe upon the questions of peace or war—certain it is that preparations, with the utmost exertion, were making to equip very formidable armaments, to finish the contest in another West-India campaign.

The combined fleet, we are told, had not yet departed from Cadiz.
