Private letters from London, give us frrong
ground to hope that mirronv ;Tioner3 will be well

A? the time the mail left New-Vork on Tuefday,
* report prevailed that the September packet had
arrived at Halifax, bringing a confirmation of the
important event of peace being concluded between
France and Great-Britaln. We receive this iufor-.
mation from a gentleman paisenger in the mail

intelligence, received by the Clropatrei, in 5$ *ayr ft on
London.
. September 2,, was boarded by a hoar with eight
men, irom the ihore, off the Lizard, ivho informed
that peace was concluded, and that they had read
it in the papers the day before.

{|Tbe above report defervts no credit, and is in
all probability, a mere -repetition of the London
fabrication. The conclufion pf peace between
Prance -and England was announced in a London
print of A'uguit 30. The lame report might have
reached ^almnnth on th» rft SeptemWr; but jt 1$
not likely that in the vicinity, of Falmouth and the
