Jenks's Portland Gazette

From a late London Paper.

There is at present in the Middlesex Hospital a young and delicate female, who calls herself Miss T--lb--t, and who is said to be related to some families of distinction: her story is very singular :-at an early period of her life, having been deprived by the villainy of a Trustee of a sum of money bequeathed her by a deceased relation of high rank, she followed the fortunes of a young naval officer, to whom she was attached, and personated a common sailor before the mast, during a cruise in the North Seas. In consequence of a lovers quarrel, she quitted her ship, and assumed for a time the military character; but her passion for the sea prevailing, she returned to her favorite element, did good service, and received a severe wound on board Earl St. Vincent's ship on the glorious 14th of February, and again bled in the cause of her country in the engagement off Camperdown. On this last occasion her knee was shattered, and an amputation is likely to ensue. This spirited female, we understand, receives a pension of £50 from an illustrious lady, which is about to be doubled.
