NEW-YORK. June 16.

Capt. Thompson, of the ship American, who arrived yesterday in 30 days from Londonderry, has brought Irish prints to the 15th of May, and furnishes verbal accounts to the 5th. He was credibly informed that London papers received at Londonderry just previous to his sailing, mentioned, that Lord Whitworth had received a passport from Bonaparte, and was on his return to London; and that Gen. Andreossi had likewise demanded a passport for Paris—That the Channel and North Sea fleets were out—that orders were issued for blockading the ports of France, and that the French coasts in the space of one week, were lined with British cruizers—The hottest impress ever known, had had taken place in all the Irish ports; old men of 60 years not being spared. Every symptom of immediate hostilities prevailed, and there can be little doubt but that ere this, war is renewed between England and France.

A London article of the 2d of May, says—'Toussaint Louverture is dead. He died, according to letters from Besancon, in prison, a few days ago. The fate of this man has been singularly unfortunate, and his treatment most cruel. He died, we believe, without a friend to close his eyes. We have heard that his wife and children, though they were brought over from St. Domingo with him, have never been permitted to see him during his confinement.'

The First Consul is said to have observed to Lord Whitworth at a late levee of Madame Bonaparte's, that he expected no success in a maritime war with England, and that hostilities must necessarily be directed against her own island; in which case he should feel it his inevitable duty to conduct the invasion in person.
