ANOTHER GLORIOUS NAVAL VICTORY. IT is .with inexpressible satisfadion that we announce to our Readers another glorious and de- ci3ive , Naval Viaory. It was obtained by the Squadron under the Command of Rear-Admiral SIB ,RlCK.►fti STRACHAg, consisting of four Sail of the Line, over a Division of the Combined Fleet of equal force in point of tiumbers. It ap pear:; by the Official Account : transmitted by the gallant Admiral, that he got sight of the Enemy's Squadron on the night of the second instant, and was informed by Captain tAKEit, who had been chased by the Enemy, that they were the Rochefort Squadron, Upon receiving this intelli- ence, Sir RICHARD Says, with the chara&eristic energy of a British Sailor, WE. WERE DELIGHT- i;D;" and he immediately announced his intention of commencing the Engagement as soon as possi- ble. The Enemy, .liowever, bore away with all fall set. During the night he lost sight of the French Squadron; but on the morning of 3dte again got sight of them, and continued the ohne during the whole of that day, but it was not until the forenoon of the 4th that he was enabled to bring them to action,—lt commenced about twelve o'clack and at half past thrqe the . four French Ships of the Line - 50-tick their Colours, and were taken possession of.--The British Admiral, with that candour and liberality which always accotn- panics true courage, does ample justice to the bra.- very displayed by his vanquished Enemy: he says they fought to admiration, .and did not surrender till further resistance Wit 3 almost impossible. Du-, lug the whole of the .A.aionSir RICIIARD conceived that he was engaging the RochefortSquadron (which we stated, in opposition to all our Coternporaries, bad n9l returned to Port) ; and it was not till he had taken poss6ssion of the captured Ships, that he found iloy were a part of the Combined /Fleet which had escaped from Cidiz, probably with a view Of getting into Ferrol or Rochefort. They.were com manded by , Admiral Dugmlortt, who was wounded, and who will, we havl no doubt, arrive in England in a few days, with the whole of his Squadron. Th 2, lo,s in the British Squadron was, we are bappy to say, comparatively small no Officer, wt.! L'ellove,-was killed, and very leo.v wounded. This secoald Victory has nearly compl6tod tilt- de titraaion of that famons Combined Fleet -which was to wrest from England the Sovereignty of the Seas. Of a Fleet of thirty 7 three Sail of the'Line, twenty- foig Sail have been 'either taken or destroyed, and a 6orhi.le,•abie number of them, will, we trust, be aclde,l to the British Navy. subjoinr the Official Bulletin sent by the Apt niralty to the Lord Mayor, and. also 1,1 , t Bri tish Admiral's Account of the t&ion, which was pnblithed in a Gtmet‘e Ertrannlinary this morning : I congratulate my Country on t h e further must important and glorious Success of His ISt uesty's sttm 3 " JAMES SHAW, Mayor." 4' Mansion. !rouse, b r till Nov i , 1805 lialf.past Scven, A. 11."

Cap.. taro Baker informed me he had been chaced by the Rochefort Squadrons then olose to Leeward of. tlS t We, were delighted. I desired him to tell the Captains of the Ships of the. Line astern' to follow, me,: as I. meant to engage them.direEtly ; and immediately bore away in the Cesar for the parpose, malting all the signals I could to indicate our movements to our Ships the moon' enabled us to see gxe Enemy bear away in a line abreast, closely formed; but We lost sight of them when it set,. and I was obliged to reduce our Sails, the Hero, Coura geux, and "1,;o1us, being . the only Ships we could' see.

A report was this morning circulated, that Admi ral STMLINI) had fallen in with the Rochefort Squadron, and bad captured Six Sail of the Line. We know not upon what authority this report was,founded, but when this Paper was put to , Press no such intelligence had reached the Admiralty. FoaTxtrat Dispatches from Admiral Lord COL. LII4GWOOD may be hourly'expeaed, as the Euryalat Frigate passed Plymouth on Saturday, on her way .to Portsmouth, with the .French Admiral. VILLE• and other prisoners, on board. Tins morning we received New York Papers to the 4th,ult. We regret to say, that the Yellow Fe ver continued to rage in that City with great ma lignity. The number of new cases of fever, re ported on the Ist. ult, was la, and g deaths; on the 2d, 13 new cases, and a deaths ; and on the 3d, 25 new cases, and 14 de sth s . It appears, therefore, that the violence of the fever was unfor tunately increasing. A great number of the inha bitants had removed from the City. One death by malignant fever had also,taken place at Boston. Last night we received Paris Papers to the 3d instant ; and Dutch Journals to the 7th. They contain little respeding the operations of the Armies. BoNAriarrx arrived at Munich on the e4th of 06tober, and the French Troops were in full march for the Inn, where they were expeCted to arrive, as we prediCted, about the lath. This intelligence is contained in the 'Eleventh Bulletin of the (rand Army; which JikeWise states, that a number of Austrian Soldiers, Which had escaped into Fran conia, had occasioned great disorder there; a clear admission that a considerable number of Austrian Troops effected their retreat. Other accounts concur in stating, thrt BONA.PARTE VI-as marching his whole Army to the Inn, with an intention of outflanking* the Allied Army. This plan will, we trust, be frus trated, either by the superior force of the Allies, or by theirtrnely retreat until their whole force Foinez up. Every thing is to be axpecled from the sidli and ability of the Russian .Generals and the Jilcil titike FERDIdIAND. That Prince is stated to . have reached Egra, from whence ht would join the second Russian Column in Bohemia. This Column, there is every reason to believe, as - we hav e alread y stated, • • • would arrive on the Inn by the 30th of last month. Marshal AtIGEREAU in stated to have passed the R a hine, at Huninguen. on the 1 4th ult. an d . to have d. vaneed with 4 yiew Of cutting off the conatinilleS. tion between the Austrian Army . in the Tyrol add..l. that of the Archduke GUARitS in Italy, With re' sped 'to the number of Austrian Troops. in the Tr rol ,we have no certain account, but are inclined to believe it is considerable. It is stated in a Letter from Lucerne, that t h he, te French Army in Italy had cornpictely defeated Austrians, and taken Verona and Vicenza. r ili s Letter is, hou;ever, dated so long back a 3 the Rid ult. and nothing further is said afterwards about the event stated to have happened.
