Last evening the ship Adrian, from Liverpool and the Factor from Greenock, arrived at this port.
Capt. Rickenson having favored the Editor of the New-York Gazette with Liverpool papers to the 8th ult. they have it in their power to enrich the marine department of this day's paper.
On the subject of Peace, we have but little—the passenger in the Adrian, however, says, that this event was sincerely expected at Liverpool, at the time of their departure.
The Courier of the evening of the 8th, contains the following paragraph: —
"The funds yesterday experienced a considerable depression—some supposed to be well informed, sold to a very large amount. The fall was imputed to various causes. Some affirmed, that the Moniteur has been received, containing a violent attack upon this country, inferences unfavorable to peace were therefore drawn. We attach but little importance to the report. The Moniteur attacked the conduct of Russia with great severity, at the very moment M. D'Oubril was about to sign a separate treaty of Peace with France. Another rumor was that the terms of that treaty are more unfavorable than had been supposed—that they contained no stipulation in favor of Sicily— and as our Ministers had determined to yield upon that subject, and as Bonaparte had insisted on his Brother being put in possession of Sicily, the negotiation between the two countries might be expected to break off immediately. Whether there be any foundation for this rumor we know not. The fall might have been produced by the Bulls or buyers wishing to realize their profit, and turning Bears."
