FROM A LATE NEW-YORK PAPER.
We observe, by one of the morning papers of last week, that Mrs. Deborah Gannet is in this city on her way to the Southward. This extraordinary woman served three years in the army of the United States, and was at the storming of York-town under general Hamilton, serving bravely and as a good soldier. Her sex was unknown and unsuspected, until, falling sick, she was sent to the hospital, and a disclosure became necessary. We understand this lady intends publishing her memoirs, and one or more orations which she has delivered in public upon patriotic subjects. She last year delivered an oration in the theatre at Boston, which excited great curiosity, and did her much credit.
