FRIDAY, AUGUST 26.

Further accounts from New-York have arrived by
way of Liverpool. The letters from thence of the
23d ult mention the great disappointment experienced
by the American Government on finding that our
West-India Islands receive abundant supplies of pro-
visions, lumber, &c. without being under the necessity
of relying upon Ameteca hospitality.

The following Address was lately transmitted to
Lord CASTLEnEAGH, as Secretary of State for tl►e
'Colonial Department :
" TO THE KING'S MOST PXCgLLENT NIAJESTT.

juets of the Island of Trinki3d, most humbly beseech yuur Ma.
jesty to extend to the Inhabitant, of that Island, without national
or religious distincti3n, and without legal retrospection, the Bri-
tish Constitution, as establisha in the other British Colonies in
the Wert Indies."

Private letters from Rotterdam of the 29. d, repeat
the rumours of approaching hostilities between France
and Austria. That not only Russia but Prussia, as
far as its present imbecility will permit, is• to take a
part in the war against NAPOLEON.

This Address was signed by, the Governor, the
Chief Judge, Members of the Council, and* Cabildo,
and 300 of the most respectable Inhabit..nti.
Three Gentlemen are already mentioned, one-of
whom, it is thought, will succeed to the important
and lucrative Who of Chief Secretary for Ireland,
vacant by the death of Mr. TRAIL, who was appointed
ad interim ; viz. Mr. MAR,DEN, Mr. STURGES Bou.live,
and Mr. COOKE. The salary, &c, &c. may be reckoned
beyond ,C6OOO.

The Danes appear quite willing to co-operate in all
the objects of BONAPARTE. Intelligence was received
I yesterday that the following American vessels had
been taken and condemned at Copenhagen, for vio-
lating the provisions of the Berlin Decree ; namely,
the Meridian, Captain LORD j the Live Oak, YO,INI, ;
1 the Jemmina, and Fenne.
1 From the uncommonly fine appearance of the hop
, plantations in Worcestershire and in Herefordshire,
there is every reason to expect an abundant crop.
The Corn Harvest has generally begun in the Nor.
them Counties of England. In Oats, Wheat, and
Barley, the crop is abundant, and it is generally ac-
-1 knowledged by the Farmers that they have not had
such a rich harvest, both for straw and remarkably
well-filled ears, for many years. The districts alluded
to consist of the counties of Lincoln, Nottingham,
Derby, Chester, Lancaster, York, Durham, Nor:.
Cumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland.

It seems certain that the Austrian Minister has
quitted Amsterdam and returned to Vienna. He has
not, however, taken with him all the Members of his
Mission. His Secretary remains, and the relations
of amity are not formally broken. It is evident,
however, that he is recalled for the purpose of confer-
ring with his Court on the present posture of affairs
between the two Empires of France and Austria. It
is extremely prcbable that the Minister at Paris is
also recalled.

According to these letters, the French, on their side; I
are extremely active in their preparations for the ap-
proaching storm.
All the letters from the North of Europe, received
yesterday through Heligoland, concur in stating that
the Emperor ALEXANDER, upon receiving intelligence
of the abdication of the Royal Family of Spain, ex-
pressed himself in terms of the most unqualified dis-
approbation as to the manner and object of that pro-
ceeding. The disapprobation expressed by ALEXibi
DER gives some countenance to the rumours, which
have come through other channels, of a chastise of
