She had been three times a widow; her first marriage was folemnized when he had barely attained her 14th year. Her laft marriage was to Col. Grant, then commanding officer at Jamaica. The premature engagements and duties of her family cares, added to the peculiar maladies of a Weft Indian climate, rapidly shattered a beautiful and delicate frame of body; infomuch that, even to thofe who were must honoured with her intimacy, fhe appeared much older than the declared herself to be. We are affured that the fafcinating Tubject of this account had ftrong public claims on the gratitude of this nation for her fpirited detection of a conspiracy among the negroes to vindicate their outraged rights. It is at least certain, that her annual penfion from government was more ample than the common provifion for a colonel's widow. Not to dwell, however, with prolixity on an event in which the humane and free-born minds of Englishwomen can fee litcle to imitate, we will turn to the fcene in which they excel all other females on the face of the earth.
