Leeds, Oct. 20. A few days ago a young woman, about 20, dressed in man's cloaths, was impressed at Plymouth, and sent to capt. Toby in this town. On her arrival, she was committed to prison; but not liking confinement, she discovered her sex, and was discharged.
She gives the following account of herself; that her name is Hannah Whitney; that she was born in Ireland, had been a marine on board different ships for upwards of five years, and would not have discovered her sex, if she had been allowed her liberty.
