Enc ship William Gray and barque London, from Liverpool, from whence the for mcr sailed on tho 9th, and the latter on the l2th January, arc al the mouth Of the river, and sent up their letter bags last night. We are indebted to aares- pectable house of this city for the loan. aof English papers to the ilth inclusive, and from which we have made various extracts, which we pnblishin this days paper.
