We are happy to inform our Agricultural friends, that within these few days, two cargoes of Flaxseed from New York, have arrived in Derry, containing, we understand, seventeen hundred hogsheads; and that a number of others are daily expected--so that an abundant supply is now certain, at a moderate price. There is a large quantity fof Riga and Dutch Seed already arrived. Several cargoes of American Flaxseed have likewise arrived in other parts of Ireland.
