Abstract: We derive sufficient conditions under which the ``second Hamiltonian structure of a class of generalized KdV-hierarchies defines one of the classical $calW$-algebras obtained through Drinfel'd-Sokolov Hamiltonian reduction. These integrable hierarchies are associated to the Heisenberg subalgebras of an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra. When the principal Heisenberg subalgebra is chosen, the well known connection between the Hamiltonian structure of the generalized Drinfel'd-Sokolov hierarchies - the Gel'fand-Dickey algebras - and the $calW$-algebras associated to the Casimir invariants of a Lie algebra is recovered. After carefully discussing the relations between the embeddings of $A_1=sl(2,BbbC)$ into a simple Lie algebra $g$ and the elements of the Heisenberg subalgebras of $g^{(1)}$, we identify the class of $calW$-algebras that can be defined in this way. For $A_n$, this class only includes those associated to the embeddings labelled by partitions of the form $n+1=k(m)+q(1)$ and $n+1=k(m+1)+k(m)+q(1)$.
