Key West, Fia., Aug. 9.- Two Norwegian ■ steamers have been added to the United States' large collecticm oL war prizes. They are the Aladdin. captured by the auxiliary gunboat Hawk, off Cadiz light, Isle of Pines, on Saturday last, and the Bergen, taken by the auxiliary g-unboat Viking, off Francis key, on Sunday. The Aladdin had cleared from Tampico, Mex., fcr Sagua la Grande, with a cargo of sugar. The Bergen was ostensibly bound from Santiago for the same port, for the purpose, it is said, of taking off refugees. Both steamers were seized without difficulty and were brought in here by prize crews, respectively under the command of Ensign Schofielá and Lieutenant C. B. Belles.
