MONDAY, FEC. 20
After the presentation of a few petitions,
&c.
Mr.. Ingersoll of Penna rose to make
motion. He said there was now an indi-
vidual in this town, by the name of Mat,
thew Guy, native of the town of DUN
fries, who by an extraordinary act of brave
ry aud heroism, had himself captured q
British officer and four British seamen.-
lie was IN an oyster boat in the neighbor.
hood OF Chippewansie, into which he was
pursued by q British vessel and, after he
got into the creek, a,barge was sent after
hnn with midsbipman and four men,
This indiyi dual, finding he must be overta
ken, went ashore in small skiff, and con-
eealed himself onthe margin Of the creek
with his duck gun, directing rnulatto man
who was the only person in company with
him, to pursue his way up the creek. The
mulatto man accordingly steered up the
creek, under sharp fire from the barge
which was in pursuit. When the barge
passed within convenient distance, hir.
Guy discharged his gun with such steady
aim tit, as TO wound four OF the five men
on board, who immediately cried for quar-
Ter which being readily granted, they
pushed ashore whilst Guy was loading bis
gun second time. On finding the inferi-
GRITTY of force to which. they had surrender
ed their arms, the prisoners were disposed
to attempt rescue, but their captor pre-
sented his piece a second time at them, and
they deemed it proper to submit, the off,
Ger and three others being already wound
ed. The brave man who performed this
exploit delivered his prisoners up to the mi
litia in st. Mary's county, by whom they
had been broughtto the city Though this
case did not come within the letter, he said
it certainly did within the equity of the
law, which allows bounty of one hundred
dollars on every prisoner taken by priva-
teers; because this individual had redeem
ed from captivity one of our naval officers
and four Of cur seamen by obtaining tie
means of their exchange-which was the
principle on which the act in question was
passed. lie was DESTROYS to extend the
provision of that bin to this individual and
therefore moved the following resolution
Resolved That the committee on Ma
val affairs be instructed to enquire into the
expediency of allowing a bounty to Rat
thew Guy for five English prisoners cap
tured by him"
The motion was agreed to without oppo'
sition.
