NEW-YORK, Feb. 23

On Thursday Night, the Ship Beulah, Capt. William M'Buffell arrived at the watering place, about three leagues from this city, in nine weeks from London. The pilots, we are informed, were ordered not to bring her up, lest her being in the harbour should give uneasiness to this city. The same night, a Sloop with some members of the sub-committee of observation and other citizens on board, went down and anchored near the said Ship to observe her conduct, and they will continue there till she departs. The Ship wants a new bowsprit, when she is furnished with this and other necessaries for her voyage, she will be dispatched without delay. She has neither entered nor broke bulk, and we are informed will be ready to sail about Sunday next.

We hear it was determined on Friday Night last at a Meeting of the Owners of Goods in the Beulah lately arrived from London, that she should return with all her Goods, agreeable to the Resolves of the Congress.
