PHILADELPHIA, January 19.
c iii a ---i-ation.
In August last, a boy of 12 years old,
fell in the clock at Kinght's wharf, in die
Northteu Liberties, where there were 13
feet of water at low tide ; the boy fell in
near the entrance of a sluice, into which
the tide would soon have drawn him but for
the extraordinary exertions of James M'Koy,
a carpenter then at work on the wharf.—¦
"Some persons were preparing to render as-
sistance, but he seeing the imminent danger
of the child being instantly drawn, into the
sluice under the wharf, leaped iu, caught
'trie child, and holding him above the water
with one arm, he swam to the wharf with
the other and brought him out. The boy
¦was nearly exhausted, but by proper c9*
•was soon restored. Mr. Scguin, a master
carpenter, was present, and knowing the
danger of the sluice, says he thought M'Koy
crazy to attempt to save the child. If there
had been but little water in the sluice
M'Koy might have safely swam through it
with the child, but it was full of water and
it required great strength and resolution to
prevent the tide from forcing him into it,
when both would have been bruised against
the logs and inevitably drowned. This is
the 4th child he has rescued from drowning
in the same dock, and he adds that he has
been instrumental in saving II children in
his life time. These circumstances having
been reported to the managers of the hu-
mane society, by a committe appointed for
that purpose, they highly approve of the
inei ntorious exertions of James M'Koy,
and award him ten dollars, which was the
largest Sum their funds would allow, them to
bestow.
We understand, that the advices for go-
vernment, from the city of New-Orleans,
received by the brig Thetis, represent, in
the most unqualified terms, the prevalence
of an ardent spirit of loyalty and attachment
to the JJnion. Every necessary measure of
preparation, both public and personal, was
adopted with zeal and alacrity.
This morning the supreme court of this
state delivered their opinion on the motion
for a new trial in the case of Patrick Lyon
v. Samuel M. Fox, Jonathan Smith et al.
The plaintiff was prosecuted and impri-
soned in the autumn of 17 go, for a supposed
participation in the robbery of the bank of
Pennsylvania. This was an action by him
against the president and cashier of t;e
bank, against the alderman who committed
him, and the constable who executed the
process. The plaintiff obtained a verdict
for 12,000, dollars and this was a motion
Tor a new trial, on the ground that the ver-
dict was against law, against evidence, and
that the damages were excessive. After a
¦very lucid exposition of the tacts of the
cause, and a most able argument upon
them by the chief justice, the court ordered
a nilw trial—judge Brackenridge dissent-
ed.
FALMOTH, (Jam.) December 3.
As this paper was putting to press, we
learned that the several Pilots here, at Rio-
Bueno, Dry-Harbour, St. Ann's Bay, and
Ochorios, had received orders from the of-
ficers of his msjesty's customs at Montego-
Jiay, that should any American vessels here-
after arrive off the above ports, with inten-
tion to enter the same, they are to direct
them to proceed toMontego-Bay, otherwise
such vessels, with their cargoes, will be seiz-
ed, as acting contrary to the Lieutenant-
governor's proclamation of the 27th ulti
We do not understand the proclamation in
this way : if it really is so; it must end in
the destruction of the parish of Trelawny.

It was stated at New-Orleans, when the
Amelia sailed, that the adherents of Burr
amounted to 7000 men ; snd it was believ-
ed that his forces would considerate?" r-.-
ceed that number. The attack, it was ex-
pected would be made between the 2C'h
and 30th December. The two gun boats
had proceeded up the river; as far as Iber-
ville ; and were to ascend as high as Point-
Cor.pee ; and two bomb-ketches were also

more, mounting 16 gunss for the service

brought on to this place, in tjie shooner

and anchored her griper that cape, where
they detained her twoSays, and overhauled
every part of the vessfei in search of money.
There were two captains of the privateer,
one French and the other Spanish ; the
French captain (Lartique) appeared to pos-
sess some sense of honor, and it was thro'
his influence that the brig was not plundered
cf every thing. The privateer had 4 days
before boarded the brig Speculator, Lee,
from Kingston, for this port (arrived last
evening) and robbed an English gentleman
(Mr. Kentish) who was a passenger on board,
of 2 negro servants. While the, privateer had
the Brunswick in possession, they boarded
the brig Nancy, Hoggins, from Jamaica,
for Savannah, and, suffered J»qr to proceed.

Extract of a letter from a young gentleman at
Monte Video, river La Plate, October 30?,
1806, to bis friend in Richmond, Virginia.
" I wrote you by a ship, bound to Charles-
ton, who intend making an attempt to run
out of the harbor this night, as the wind is
fair, and a heavy fog.;coming on. We ar-
rived here after a passage of 46 days from
Baltimore, which was a quick run, for up-
wards of 10,000 miles. The evening on
which we arrived here, were brought to by
a British ship called the Diomede, of 50
guns—-one of the officers informed us, that
they had taken Buenos Ayres, and held it
for 2 months, but were compelled to give
it up again, in consequence of being over-
powered by numbers. After being detain-
ed a short time, the ship was ordered up to
the commodore, who is now lying off this
port, with one ship of 64, one of 50, one
of 44, and a brig of 16 guns, who detain-
ed us 15 days; taking from us what provi-
sions we coujd spare, and then permitted
as to go into click, but will not allow us
to take out a cargo. The Spaniards will
not permit any neutral vessel to qttit their
pirt, especially Americans. There are a
number of ships which have been here six
months, and most of them were laclen with
hides and dried beef, which must be spoil-
ing by this time."

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES;
Monday, January 19.
[TAKfew for thk FEDERAL CaZETTE.^
Mr.' Randolph informed the house that
the committee appointed to wait on the pre-
sident, with the resolution of Friday last,
had performed that service, and had receiv-
ed for answer, that the information desired
should be laid before the house as soon as
possible;
Mr". Elmer presented a petition, from sun-
dry pilots navigating the Delaware, praying
for the erectioii of a lifrht-bouse, which was
referred to the committee of commerce and
manufactures.
Mr. Gtuincey presented the petition of
James Sullivan and others, of Boston) sta-
ting that they were claimants to certain
lands lately ceded by Georgia to the United
States, and praying that the supreme tribu-
nal of the United States may be allowed to
try the question of right to that land. He
said, that as this subject had been often be-
fore the house, he moved to refer the peti-
tion to a committee of the whole.
Mr. Eppes said, that this business had
been brought before the house in such a va-
riety of shapes, that he thought it unneces-
sary to take it up even in comrhittee of the
whole. At the last session, when a bill had
beeli sent from the senate to effect a com-
promise, it had been rejected by the house.
He did not intend to enter into a view of
the merits of the Yazoo claim : the house
had already decided that it was a corrupt
transaction.
Mr. Gtuincey observed, that the question
whether the Georgia legislature was corrupt
or not, belonged to another tribunal: but,
so long as there existed a claim to so large
a tract of country, he thought it important
that it should be decided upon one way or
another.
The question was taken on referring the
petition to. a committee of the whole, and
lost.
Mr. Gtuincey then moved"that it be refer-
red to a select committee.
Mr. D. R. Williams hoped it would be re-
jected. • ¦ ;
Mr. Glnincey called for the ayes and noes
on this motion.
Mr. Cook asked if the petitioners were
outlaws, that they were not untitled to the
laws : he thought the prayer of the petiti-
oners ought to be at least heard.
Mr. Conrad thought that as the petition
was ccuched in decent language, it would
be indecent to reject it.
Mr. Williams thought it absurd to talk of
voting on the iazoo claim, on the principle
Of decency.
Mr. Eppe'S said that the house had alrea-
dy patiently listened to the claimants for
four or five years. They had been told that
the transaction was illegal and corrupt. He
wished to be done with the business, and
hoped the petition would be rejected.
After some, few remarks from several of
the members, Mr. Q-uincey rose and sup-
ported the prayer of the petitioners at con-
siderable length, and took a view of the
transaction from its commencement i After
which,
The question was taken by ayes and noes
on rejecting the petition, and lost—ayes 63,
noes 8Q.
Mr. Gtuincey then renewed his motion for
referring it to a select committee.
This was opposed by Mr. J. Clay, who
hoped it would lie on the table.
Mr. Gtuincey made a few remarks in re-
Mr. Smilie and Mr. R. Nelson, spoke
against its referrence.
The question on referring it to a select
committee was taken by ayes and noes, and
lust -ayes 45, noes 65.
Mr. Rhea (of Tennesse) submitted a reso-
lution to th* fsdlawing effect-: Resolved,
That a committee be appointed to Uiquire in-
to the expediency of laying off and describ*
ing, bycen-yn routes and boundaries, a trftCt
of country to which the Indian »-ttle had
been extinguished, within the district and
territory of Louisiana, and to include all
the sections within the said territoryj alid
of having the said tract of country laid off
into townships, Sections, ftalf sections and
quarter sections, agreeably to law : also to.
inquire into the expediency of granting one
quarter section to every free white male,
who may reside thereon or may hereafter
agree to settle the same.
After a few remarks from Mr. Varnum,
against the resolution, it was postponed till
to-morrow.
A " bill prescribing the effect which re-
cords and judgments in one state, shall have
in another state," was read ' wice and refer..
red to a committee of the whole on Thurs-
day;
The bill received from the senate on Fri-
day, entitled, " a bill supplementary to the
act entitled an act fixing the military peace
establishment of the U. States," was read
once, when
Mr. Eppes moved, that it be rejected.
This motion occasioned some debate, when
the question was taken by ay« and noes, &
it was lost, ayes 25, noes 85.
The bill was then read a second time.
Mr. Randolph moved that it be referred to
a select committee of 5— carried.
The clerk was proceeding to read the bill
a third time, when a motion was made to
aeljourn, which prevailed!
