NEW YORK, April 29.

The arrival at this port yesterday of the Ships Julianna, Ontario, and Young Factor, has put the editor of the Mercantile Advertiser in possession of London papers to the 20th March, Liverpool of the 21st, and London prices current of the 18th.

We have selected the most interesting part of their contents.

On the important question of Peace or War between Great Britain and France, we have nothing decisive. The definitive answer of Bonaparte to the ultimatum of the British Cabinet, which was every moment expected, had not arrived in London on the morning of the 20th of March. Our extracts are principally confined to the subject. In fact, the London papers are almost wholly occupied with the din of warlike preparation, and with conjecture on what will be the probable issue.

It is mentioned as report in a paper of the 14th, that Bonaparte had written a letter to the King of England, of which the following is the substance: "Brother," in disputes between nations of such importance as England and France, a question must necessarily arise of considerable moment, viz. Which is the greater? We of course, reciprocally, must be partial; and I have no hesitation in declaring, that if Britain does not submit to my claims, the English empire must be écrasé (destroyed):"

The probability of a renewal of hostilities, and the report of an embargo in the French ports, have caused a sensible depression of the funds at the date of our last accounts.
