attacked by Edward, at the head 0,
80,000 foot and 7,000 horse ; whereas
the whole force of Sir William did not

a traitor, and rendered of no use to the
patriotic party. Not long after the bat

FEMALE HEROISM.
A very extraordinary circomftance
arrested the attention of the House
this afternoon. A petition was pre
Jan; 4. Last evening the electi

elected lor the enduing year :—
fented by a M«s. Deborah Gannett,
who served with reputation, as a sol
dier, three years in the army of the
UnitedsStates, and received an ho
nourable discharge therefrom. Tnis
extraordinary woman minted as a
male, by the name of Re6er&«rtl?f;
and as such did her duty without a
stain on her virtue or honour.—She
only prays, in her petition, for the
payment of her arrears ; but submits
the circumstances of her Services to
the coofideiation of the Legtflature :
And from feelings which appeared
on. the occasion, e±prcfiive of a it ong
desire to reward heroism like het's,
there is no room to doubt that a com
pensation will be granted, adequate
to her service:, and honourable to the
government.
Several members corroborated the
fafts slated in the petition ; which
was committed to a refyeftable com
mittee.
