DERBY ASSIZES:
What most particularly engaged the
attention or the public wai, a charge
agaiaft a woman of the name of Ann
Hoon, aged 25, for the murder of her
infant child, about fourteen months
old ; the Circumstances of this mur
der were as follow : On Friday last
this poor creature, who is the wife ofi
a laboring man, was about to heat her 1
oven, and being (bort of wood, bad
broken down a rail or two from the
fencing round the plantation of a gen
tleman in the neighborhood; some
of her neighbors threatened her with
a prosecution, and told her ffie would
be traofported for it.s
This so much alarmed her mind,
and the idea of being (epirated from
her child, whom she had always ap
peared remarkably fond of, so wro't
on her imagination, that the formed
the horrible design of putting her to
death, in order that, by furrenderiog
herfelf to justice, she might be 'exe
cuted for the murder, and so be for
ever reunited in Heaven to that babe
whom she had loved more than life
As soon, therefore, as her husband
was gone out to his labour, the pro
* ceeded to put this diabolical design.
into execution ; she filled a large tub
with water, and taking the child in
;her arms was about to pluoge it into
the water, when the babe failing in
far mother'# face, disarmed her for the
moment, and she found herfelf unable
to commit the horrid fad. She then
lulled the babe to sleep at the bread,
and wrapping a cloth round it, plung
ed it into the tub, and held it under
' water till life became extinct, then
took it out of the tub and laid it on
the bed, and tqkfog her hat find cloak
locked ter freer door, and left her
key at a neighbor's for her husband
when he Should return from hit la
bor : she then proceeded to walk 8
or < )miles to a magistrate, and, re
' quelling admission to him, told him
the whole fiery, concluding with ,0
earnest defoe immediately to be exe
cuted. She was tried this morning,
and many strong ioftancea of infinity
for some years past appearing, the ju
ry found her—TVs/ Guilty
Many people are milled by the

advantage of fhi, circumstance, arid

BOSTON, JULY 20/
From St. Vincents, June 13.
Extract from a letter.
“ It may be inierefting to you to
know how things go with the French
and English. St. Lucia is totally in
puff ffion of the latter—they stormed
the lores, and Succeeded in carrying
them. Some negroes and naturaliz
ed French were hanged, and some
brought to this place for the fame
purpose. The commander in chief,
Sir Ralph Abercrombie, arrived from
thence to this place, seven days ago,
with part of the forces to retake the
windward fide of this island from the
French and Ciribs, who have 'had
possession a long time past. On the
loth, at fuarife, the British com
menced their attack with 4300 men;
at two in the afternoon they stormed
and took the old fort, and three re
doubts between it and the new fort.
About three the firing ceased , and a
Bag of truce from the French came
in. Finally it was fettled to surrender
all the poffeffioos on the island to the
Britiffi, and the French prifoaets to
receive the honors of war. These
who were natural fubjeds of Great
britain, and had joined the French,
were to be at the diferetion of the
commander in chief—as also those
negroes who fled to them.— The Ca
ribs, however, in the night, as well as
the plantation negroes, got into the
woods, and a body of rangers and ri
flemen are after them. On the n<h,
it 3 o'clock. P. M. the prisoners came
in, and were convey ed on -boat the
different (hips in the harbor; & Such a
Shabby set I never beheld before.—
They amounted in ail to above 400,
out of whom only five or fix were
white men—the others were negroes
and mulattoei.' They were com
manded by a negro, who had a French
commission of Captain, as had also
man, of the Other negroes and mu
lattdea. They came into town with
their fide arms, and {omitting the
bulk of the prisoners, who were the
dirtiest and most ragged crew under
heaven) appeared decently dressed in
their uniform.",
The English successes in the
Weftindies have not been equal
to the immense expense of blood
and treasure lavished to attain;
them. Io one adion at St. Lu
cia, WG are assured by a corres
pondent, they loft 600 men.
