CORONRR'S INCWEST.—An Inquest was held yes-
terday evening, before ANTHONY GELL, Esq. at the
Nag's Head, in Grange-court, Leicester-square, on
the body of Ann Paris, an unfortunate young crea-
ture, of interesting appearance, not more than 17
years of age, who, it appeared, had been reduced
by some unknown melancholy circumstance, to the
most forlorn and destitute situation. It was stated
in evidence, that she had taken her lodgings only
seven. weeks since,' and that during that time she
had evinced the most wretched state of mind, and,
on Thursday rutirning;tirged on by the poignancy of
her feelings, or the derangement of her intellect,
she swallowed a considerable quantity of laudanum.
On the violence of her death pangs corning on,
medical aid was sent for, but too hate to be of any
assistance, and in a short nine she expired.--The
Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of Lunacy.
The history of this poor young creature is at once
ronrustic and interesting. She is the daughter of
a Monsieur Paris, who was well known in the com-
mencement of the Revolution, and in which he suf-
fered. Madame Paris, with her infant daughter,
took refuge in this country ; and in "the ruin of her
fortune, became a governess in a noble family in
Scotland. After this she bad a house in the New.
road ; and, -about two years ago, died of the rupture
of a blood vessel. Her daughter had been pl-rced
at an eminent boarding-school near one of the new
squares ; and on the death of her mother was placed
under the guardianship of a Member of Parliament,
who, with the most liberal and benevolent attention
to her destitute situation, resolved to complete her
education ; and she had every master of eminence
in all the elegant arts. She spoke French' and Ita-
lian ; touched the piano with great execution ; sung
with taste; and had read beyond her years.
About six or eight months ago she was met in the
square, when walking- with the other young ladies,
by a young man in the dress of a midshipman, who'
followed her to the door, and who wrote to her
under the name of Jones." A correspondence took
place. Her imagination was fired ; and she eloped
with him under a promise of marriage. His address
was found in her box, and they were traced by her
guardian, .and separated. Jones declared that she
was virtuous, that his intentions were honourable,.
and-as a proof of it he was ready to marry her with
her guardian's consent. In elfeCt they were mar-
ried, and sh.J was completely undone. In about
a fortnight or three weeks Jones thtew off his.dis-
guise, and fairly to!d her his real charaater-e-that he
was no sailor, but lived by his shifts; tleit he had
married her only ter the sum her proteelor had paid
him, and that she must provide for herself. She
was abandoned ; and the shock had such an effect
on her imagination, that she has ever since she eel
signs of a disordered intellect. With a heart that
shrnnk from vice, she was flung on the world with-
otita friend or.a home; and in this deplorable state
.she became the victim of necessity.
About three weeks ago she sew an officer, who
is distinguished for his gallantries, and who by his
address and attentions so won upon her atfeatons,
that she could-neither speak nor think of any other
'Object. This fatal attachment absorbed her whole
soul. They entered into engagements to live and die
only for one another; and in the frenzy of this pas-
sioe,or under the idea that she could not be his, and his
alone, :he took the desperate resolution of dying for
him. She had prepared three phials of opium, two of
which she swallowed, and 'she died with a spirit of
heroistin; for no persuasion nor force could make
her, when seited with the nausea of the poison,
take any antitiote to the draughts. She would not
suffer the medical men to approach her--'and though
after stupefaaion Caine on they administered every
known medicine, they all failed of etred.
