The Envoys arrived at Li&oft the 27th

NEW YORK. April 4.
Another iafimce of American gallantry.
By the schooner Eliza, Captain Fair
child, arrived here yesterday mornifig from
the Havanua. we are informed that the
Ihrp Nancv, Captain J-y, of Boston, had
jntl arrived at that port The Nancy on
the 25th ofFebtuary, m lat. 22, long. SB,
fell in with a French privateer, of 14 guns,
and full of men. The Nancy mounts 10
Gx«s, and had 27 men An engagement
was immediately commenced, which con
t nurd, off and on, for 24 tours, during
which time the privateer made three mod
desperate attempts to board the ship, and
was aftualiy foul of her for three hour* at
one time ; and though every exertion was
made to baard her, yet, such was the act
ive bravery of the American Tars, that they
kept off the enemy with pikes, ctttlaflen,
Sec. great nuiobtrs of whom fell li(elefs from
the (hrouds and howfprit on deck and into
the ocean. While one part of the Nancv's
crew were thm defending themselves, tbt
other was employed in planting tint into
the privateer, and, from her (ha tered con
dition, there is little doubt cf her having
gine down, as (he was not to be Teen in the
morning; As chair imputation was in the
I night, aod as the privateers fails and rig
ging, as well as those o the (hip. were al
molt all cut away, it reiders the improba
bility of her escape more strong. The pri
vateer mull l ave loft many. The Nancy
, had one man killed, and four wounded.
This news may be depended oh, for the
nmc of the Eliza noted it from the mouth
of Captain Joy.
The trial of LEVI WEEKS, fays the
Commercial Advertiser, for the Murder *'t
JULIAN ELMORE SANDS, which came
oil before the court of Oyer and Terminer,
on Monday lad. ended this morning about'
half past two o'clock. The vague reports
which had been in circulation from the time
of her body being difc&vered, until thf'b^nr
of trial had irritated the public mind in!'och j
a manner as to draw to tnt place of jtiftieea
large concourfr of people, and rendered it
somewhat difficult at firfl for the court to
proceed to business.
After the examination «rf the witnelTes
which occupied two whole days, the council
for Mr W?ek<, without a fiiglc w'ftiark
upon the teflitnony. fubniitted his cale ,to
the charge of the comt. Mr. Chief Juft'Ce.
Laufing, after commenting on the evidence,
delivered to the Jury t'.e uianwi»«o> opinion,
of the Court that Mr. Weeks was not
guilty. The Jury, which was as refpeC,U
ble as ever appeared in thi»city retired, and
after appointing a foreman, returned in left
than Four minutes, a verdift of .NOT
GUILTY. r .
It must.be a pleating circa fifttmce to this
young man, whose on the trial
appeared irreproachable and uncommonly
amiable, and to hjs refpeftable connexions,
that he does not owe his acquittal to the elo
quence of counsel, but fotely and entirely
to the clear ind unequivocal proof he pi odu
ced of his innocence.
After so fair and impartial';). V'al, ' s
hoped that those who have entertained aiiy
fulpicions, which have been very rrr.pj opei l v
excited on this occasion, will not cnlv discft
themselves of thein, but that this young man
wilt br fully and compleatly reflored to the
(landing in feciety which liehhr,a r , Co uiiil'oif::-
ly maintained.
CONGRESS
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
QUACK.
Mr. Speaker laid before the house a letter
from thrfecretary of the treafurv, inclosing
a report on the petition of Benjamin Welt',,
ar.d » counter petition ot' the inhabitants of
Fayette county, Pennsylvania—The report,
which is favorable to Mr, Wt-Ils, was re
ferred to the committee of claims, and order
ed to be printed.
Mr. Davis, from the feleft «ommit!ee to
whom was refeired the petition of Abraham
Bell, made a r.-oort, that the prayer of the
petitioner ought not to be granted ; which
was committed to a committee of the whole
house, tnd made the order of tbe day for to-
morrow.
Mr. Davis cslled up for confidervtion the
following rcfoluttcn :
Unsolved, That a committee be appointed
to enquire into the expediency of expending
the provisions contained in the aft of Con
gress. palled the 12th April, 1798, rektive
to allowing compeiifntion to cine widows and
orphans of Col. John Harding, and
Major Alexander Trueman, drceafed, and
that they report hy iill or otherwrfe.
After some debate, the resolution was
modified, so as to read. " that a committee
be appointed to enquire into the expediency
of making furthes provision by la», for the
relief of the widow and orphans cf the lste
Col. John Harding, and tlie orphan daugh
ter of the late Major Alexander Trueman,
and that they report by b 11 or othenvife."
Mr. Grifwold then moved, that the reso
lution be referred t« the committee of
claims
Mr. Rutledje objected to this, motion.
He did not confidei this as a claim agiinfl
the United States, but as an a& of juftire
and humanity required at their hands ; and
instanced the provision made by law for the
fuppnrt of the daughters of the Count De 1
Graffe. In his opinion, meritorious services
rendered by the parent, demanded that pro-
T'fion fhouid be made for his children.
Messrs. Bird and Dana also spoke againfl
this reference, and Messrs* Kitchtll, Nicho
l«s and Macon in favor of it.
The motion was loft—?yes 30.
The resolution was then agreet) to—ayes
57 ; and a committee of three appointed for
the purpofc.
