',fiend or quarter of the Inn, Into tipper Maria.—' The principal plan of the Emperor NAPOLEON appears to be to prevent the junftion of this army with that of the Archduke ; and if he fhould not fucceed in that, at least to force that Prince to abandon his poll tinn between the Adige and the Tagliamento, in or der to give facility to General Massitta to ad vance. The centre of the French army, which pafred the Inn on the 28th of o.4ober, took poffedion of Bra mau on the 29th ; and the Alsatians, who had car ried by aff.tult the fort of Oberhaus, evacuated it on the 26th. The corps of Marfhal NEY did not incline towards the Tyrol, but into Bavaria ; and Upper Suabia, be ing by this movement entirely freed from French troops, the Auftrian corps from the Voralberg has again extended itfclf between the 111er and the Lake of Con(lance. The corps of Martha! Avc aIIEAO appears difpofed to quit the Brifgan, to advance by the Black Foreft into Suabia, and to extend his left wing towards Sulz and Alperfpack. CUXHAVEN, Nov.

He had taken poffefflon of Hanover, and the navigation of the Elbe was again opened. A veffel arrived in the River, (poke a few days ago the tranfport, No. 310, attached to the expedition of General Dow,fourteen leagues off Heligoland. There is no doubt of this expedition being deßined to co operate with the Ruffian Army which is now approach. ing the Elbe. Yellerday morning his MAJESTY, the Princetes AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and Am 61.144 accompanied by Lord CATHCART, General FITZROY, Colonel TAY LOR, Ladies CRANLRY and WYNYARD, walked to St. Gtorge's Chapel, and heard a lemon from the 16th Chapter of Sr. Matthew, v. 26. After Divine Ser vice they took an airing to Frogmore. Mr. VIcK, the Meltenger, left town early on Sa turday morning, with difpatches from Lord MUL• GRATZ to the Minifier (Sir ARTHUR PRGIT) at Vi enna. He was to proceed from Yarmouth in any veffel that might be ready to convey him to Gotten burgh.

The troops which the Archduke Fsabto atm carried pith him to Egra, or who re.affembled there on the 213th ult. amounted to feventeen thonfand. His Royal Highnefs has confided the command of them to General KOLLOWRATH. _ _ On Saturday evening, at nine o'clock, was mar ried, by Special Licence, Lord Vilcount DUNCAN war, fon of the Earl of Besamtotroo, to Lady MA• ILIA Faris, third daughter of the Earl of WESTMOR LAND, at her father's houfe in Berkeley-fquare.

BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR. The Gazette of Saturday (fee our IA Page), eon. thins the diipatches from Lord COLUNCWOOD, al luded to in the Notice of the Admiralty publilhed in our laft. The difpatches are dated only four days Later than thofe by the Picini. It does not appear that there was any new tiElion when GRAVISNA put to fea with a view to recover the chips that had been captured. There hems no truth in the report too, that be had 101 l an arm, as Rated in the letters from Cadiz of the 22d, giving an account of the en gagement. From the returns hitherto made, we are happy to find that the lofs is much lefs than had been fuppofed. From feveral fhips no return has been made, owing to difficulty of communication, from the (late of the weather. There were reports that tome of our !hips had Cul fered much from the (form ; but, we are happy to hear that no accident has occurred to any of them. By a letter received by Mr. PICKEILILL, engineer of the piers at Whitby, from his fon, a Lieutenant on board the REVENGE, a new 74, it appears that Chip bore a very diftinguilhed part in•the late glorious viaory off Cadiz, being at one period of the aelion furrounded by no lets than four of the enemy's (hips, which the beat off.

The following letters, received by the Li(bon mail furnifh fome additional particulars of the battle off Trafalgar, and poffefs us of the Spanifh account of that affair. By one of them we lament to hear, that Captain HARDY, of the ZEALOUS, had died there. — One of the letters from Lifbon, of the 4th, fags: — " Accounts are jua received from Algarve, that the whole of Admiral COLLINGWOOD'S prizes have been either burnt or funk." The flaughter on board GRA MIA'S flag flip is flared to have compiled fizteen officers, and nearly three hundred foldiers and Tailors, and that 234 more were wounded. CADIZ. OCTOBER 22. At ten in the morning of the 2 ill, the comlsined fquadron formed in line, handing on a courfe to the Straits, in fight of the Englifh ; the latter endea voured to cut the line, and effefted it, which threw it into confufion : a cannonade commenced, which laft ed from two o'clock in the afternoon till evening ; and in the morning of OA sad, there anchored be tween Rota and the Caftle of St. Catharine, the Prin cipe de Afturias, with the lots of her top gallant mail ; the Leandro, with only her furemaft handing ;—the Rayo and two others ; as alfo feven French drips, with four frigates and two brigs : of all the reft of. the fquadron, nothing is pofitively known, but from the obfcurity of the horizon, with continual rain and bad weather from the fouthward, thole which are miffing and clifinafted are not alone in danger, but alto thole which have anchored, if the weather con tinues. NELSON gained his end at the expence of rendering ufelefs his own (hips and two others. The aEliqn, it is faid, was renewed on the sad in the morning, af ter fuch a manner, that it is believed many of the Englifh (hips are reduced to mere hulks. The mif fortune is, that we have not enough of (mall flips able to give ainflance. As foon as the weather `clears up, and we know exaaly what has happened, 1 will inform you. ANOTHER LITTER FROM CADIZ. I confirm mine of the 18th, in regard to the com bined fquadron. It began to get under fail on the igth inltant, with a wind at N. N. E. At ten A. M. it changed to W. and not being able to make any way, thole which got out remained in tight. On the 2oth, at day break, the wind got to the Southward, which enabled the whole fquadron to get out, fo that at ten o'clock they were all united. The wind was fiat, the horizon dark and dole, with rain, Cu that they were Coon loft fight of. In the afternoon it was celm ; they flood on to. wards the fouthward, and on Monday the 21ft, !hap. cd their courfe for the Straits. At two P. M. they commenced a fevere aCtion with the Englifh at the dittance of five or fir leagues from this port, which lafted tall yelpers. We law a fhip blow up, but we are yet ignorant what the was. This morning there anchored at the mouth of this harbour the fir(t fquadron of abferva• tion, with tome French frigates and brigs. The re- Cult, it appears, is not favourable. There are various reports. They are landing the wounded. The weather is rainy and gloomy, with the wind at South, all contrary to thofe unfortunates, who are at lea Rill. May GOD have pity on them ! My friend, an unlucky failing, but a worfe lot ! a bad refult, and a fad painful day for Cadiz ! The following is a corred lift of the French and Spanifh line of battle. The Ruffian Generals DEPRERADOZITTCH, (be longing to the Guards), and KOLACIRIW.OFF, (of the Hears), have been difiniffed from the army, on account of a dael. On Saturday accounts were received by Govern- 1 ment from the Expedition under the orders of Sir D. BAIRD and Sir Home POPHAM. Having refrefbed at Madeira, they left that ifland on the 3d ult. in perfeß health. The MALABAR man of war, with the EAR indiamen and tranfports from Cork, had arrived at Madeira, and were getting under weigh from that `Wand on the 3d ult. 6113kAng. By the Lilbon Mails of Saturday we received the following letters from Gibraltar. They are not of very recent dates, but the particulars they contain are worthy of being recorded, as they terve to fill up the feries of events in that quarter. GIBRALTAR, NOVEMBER it. Lail night the Dextrous gun brig fell in with a Spanith convoy of forty coalling vac's and eight gun boats near Ceuta, bound from Malaga to Cadiz and Algefiras, of which the captured fir, and one gun boat ; they were chiefly laden with naval (lores for the Combined Fleet at Cadiz. The Joao frigate arrived this morning, in twenty four days from Malta. The expedition under Sir JAMES CRAIG was Rill there, and it was totally un certain when they would fail for their deßination. SEPTEMBER 12. The NAIAD frigate arrived to-day, from the fqua dron off Cadiz, bringing in two American Mips for SETTINIBEIL 13. The PHossa frigate,from Naples, and ETNA bomls came in to-day, from the Eaftward. Lieutenant- Colonel LAGARDE, of the 54th regiment, was on board the PHOEBE, with difpatches for Sir JAMES CRAIG, fuppofed to be of importance, as he failed again in the evening to the Cadiz fquadron, in one of the gun brigs, from which he immediately pro ceeds to England. SEPTEMBER ty. The MARS and Corms baoa came to anchor in the Bay to-day, from Tetuan, where they had been to water. SEPTCMBER 19. The accounts from Spain Rate, that an embargo has been laid upon all the Imperial veffels in the Mediterranean, for the purpofe of tranfporting the Ranan troops from Corfu to Italy ; and the Ruf fian General at Corfu bas made a demand on the Britilh for tranfports to convey t s,OOO troops to Italy. SEtTEMBER 21. This mot ning a Spanilh gun boat boarded a brig coming into the Bay, clofe to the Garrifon, when the PHosas frigate, and Marna (loop, with two gun boats, got underway to proted her. Twenty more of the enemy's gun boats came out to oppofe them, when a (mart adtion took place from one o'clock till half pall three, when, from want of wind, the PHOEBE made the fignal to difcontinue the anion, and 're turned to this anchorage again. The gun boats car ried the brig into Algefiras. The gun boat, com manded by Lieut.Scovr of theChilders, behaved molt ' gallantly, being for a conliderable time engaged fingly, with tight of the enemy's gun boats, within reach of grape fhot, which fell like hail around her. Some damage was fullained in tl:e tigging, but no men were killed or wounded. SFTTEMIIER 22. The Americans and Spaniards fdem to be marl) at open war in theft feas ; every day American vet• Fels are carried into Algefiras, and if bound to thi place their cargoes are cnnfifcated, whether neutral property or not. The Spanith batteries alto often fit upon the American (hips of war, and thew the utmoll contempt for their flag. The Esssx frigate, Captain CAMPSf Li., was repeatedly fired upon a few da; ago, by Fort St. Philips, on coming into the Bay, and today on the Nautilus United States fchooner, com manded by Lieut. EVANS, getting under weigh, was attacked, by one of the Spanith gun boats, clofe to the garrifon, for upwards of half an hour, which did not retire till the received feveral well dire&ed (hot from the Nautilus, when the bore away to boar( an American met chant Chip coming into the Bay.

The garrifon is all healthy, nor has there been appearance of the fever in Spain this year. Some foldiers deferted lately from the • oth RI ment. One of them was deteded in the attemi. and will no doubt fuffer the punithment due to a aim of fuch enormity.
