He oil9N1Hg are eXtfatts from the article entitled " Navy, published ia the last volume of t1ncYelopadia ttn#= ricana, aad ma, suggest to our readers some new ideas ot tine present mode of naval warlare:
 :. When two adverse ships como ia sight of each olherupon tAa ocean, ac. cdenl decides, usualif, which Is to windward. 'Fe be 10 4nadWard, or 10 the side from which the wiHd comes, Is always esteemed an advantage. II the weathershiP be of inferior loree, it eaa. bles her to keep oas of action much longer, and, thongh poor sailer, she might do 50 tii4 the intervention of night increases the chances of escape. Il, however, the weather ship be of sape- riof force, she Is e0ai,ied to bear at once down and direct her heatl 4gaitist the enemy, and having the advantage in sailiag she must soon be along side of her. We will, however, suppose 4 case where two equal ships meet, and are mutually anxious 10 engage. Then, also, the weather gage IS aa advaatag. , for the ship to the leewafd, careeniag 10 the breeze, exposes her side below wind and water. and if struck there, aAdafterwards forced 10 tackand change her eareen, or if merely brought up right, the shot holes thus made are thrown out of the reach Of repairs from without, and may cause her sinking.- The snip to windward, oil the contrary has her lee side exposed 10 the attack, and the ordinary wateriiae depressed below the surface,. in proportion to the strength of the breeze. h this situa- ton, if she receive dangerous shot holes al the waters edge, by changing her tack, she may bring them aoove the surface, so as to stop the iealSs.- Being to wiHdward, moreover, confer; the advantage of heaying up at pleasure to cross an enemy's bow, or siera, foI for the purpose of q raking fire.
 ]" Assuming the advantage of the weather gage, let us prepare for ac- ton. .Top-sails, top gallant sails, jit and spahker, with the courses hauled up, ready te be set again, are good sails to tight under, for with them the ship is under perfect command to ad yaace, mannuYre, or lie to. II there k any appearance ofsqually weather, il Is well to have reef in the topsalls 1T anticipation.
